FrankIiA's Works.

a COMPLETE edition of the writings OF
n Dr.. FRANKLIE has been received in ibis
town < isnow delivering to subscribers &others,
byS. PEASANTS, agent for the Editor This
work appears IN its arrangement and style, to
be worthy Of the great Patriarch of American
Liberty and Apostle Of the American Press.
Independent of the intrinsic merit which Is
legibly stamped upon the features of the edit
on, it contains those qualities which give tho
pre-emlnence over every other compilation
which has already appeared in print Unre.
mitted research has obtained for it originality,
and elegance of elucidation has characterised
the efforts Of the bIographer and enhanced the
memory otthe Sage. IL embraces a comprehen-
siye and intelligent display, more ample and au-
thentic than was anticipated when this inyaluas
bic production was first ofIeredEor the patr m
age of the public. 1t contains a variety of no
litical and literary articles, taken from manu-.
scriptsto which the Editors Of former abridged
editions could have no access. Four volumes
are already published The fifth will conclude
the work and finish the biography Of the great
Franklin. il is ornamented with numerous en-
cravings a vgnctte to each volume and the
letter-press printing is executed in superior
manner. The work is undoubtedly OF great ma
tionl Importance, as IL tends to preserve AMI
do honor 10 the memory Of q man whom Ameri-
ca IS so much indebted to, and who as I've WAC
among the first, that " from his genius and
talents reflected back lustre on his native coun-
try, must continue TO be ranked to the latest
posterity, among its greatest bencfactors and
ornaments" Whatever may be tie views. and
whatever the inferior objects Of particular cias-
ses or party leaders, tbs great body Of the na-
ton mus' ever possess a general interest in
whatever relates to DIR. Franklin, incapable OF
being neglected or separated.

LAW CASE.

In presenting this case TO our readers, we
think it necessary to state soHe .fIsts not APP
bearing in the transcript Of the recorI--and as
we believe this decision may be of Importance,
We viii also add, that the tshole Bar and Court
united therein
On Vedneslaya Mr.. Winston complained To
the Hastings Court (gho are also ovcrseers of
the poor for the city, that Capt. Samuel G
Adams (who holds his commission in this state's
quota of the requisition of 100000 militia had
addressed note to him threatening to take
from him two of his apprentices who had vol
untecred without his consent-which said ap-
prentices had been bound to him by this
court
Upon this complaint the court made rule
against Capt. Adams, who, on THURSDAY came
into court and admitted all the facts stated by
Winston
THE FOLLOWING IS THE DECISION.
" {a Richnsond hastings cowt, M1y IL, 1872
'"Capt. Samuel G. Adams, against whom a
" rule was made yesterday, this day appeared
" in court, and stated that he had taken coun-
=" sci and had been advised that under the late
"ortlers he had received from the proper off
Ger he had a right to receive apprentices as
" volunteers in the army that he VAS howev.
er ready to abide the judgment OF this court
in the premises"
And the court having considered this ques-
" ton, alter hearing the opinion fthe gentle
" men of the bar, doth adjudge that an appren-
" tice legally bound, cannot yolun;ccr his SER
" vices a soldier--whereupon, it is ordered,
that the said Adams be discharged, the sourt
understanding that he will not hereafter re-
ceive persons of that description as voun
sc teers''

on Of speedy arrivals from America AS
yet there has been no scarcity of any arti-
