IMPORTANT TO LADIES.

HINTS to the means Of preserving or re.
nerUing different articles Of dress.
All dresses should have the front
breadth made quite as long as the hind
ones, and turned in { not cut out, where
a slope is required. When the dress
begius to look shabby, let it be entirely
taken to pieces, carefully ironed, and
one of the hind breaths put to the front,
putting the top part to the bottom. BY
this means the marks of the gathers will
come under the flounces before, and the
soils of the front breadth will be con-
cealed in the gathers. A little new
silk of an inferior quality, or differen'
colour, may be bought to make an
edging to the trimming, and when it is
made up again, you will have a new
looking dress, which will last nearly as
long as it has done. There are many
Kinds of silk which will burn to great
advantage. When a gown is taken TO
pieces for this purpose, it must he care
fully wiped with piece of soit linen,
and, if much crumpled, may be damped
with sponge dipped in cold water
Should it be purple or lilac, the whole
may be sponged to great advantage, if

Important Decision.-In the Court Of

decided. This action was brought 10
the Court below for the recovery ofthe
amount of uote discounted at the baak
of Utica, which was resisted by the de-
PENDANT on the ground of usury, because
that, in discounting the note, the bank
agents retained the interest in advance.
charged interest for the three DAYS
grace, and alsosbecause the bank agents,
10 computing the interest, calculated it
at thirty days for each month, by which
mode but three hundred and sixtv DAYS
we're allowed to the year. Opinions
were delivered by Chancellor Jones.
Mr.. Golden, and Mr.. Crazy, in favor of
affirming the decision of the Court be-
low, which declared the note void on
account of Usury. Mr.. Spencer gave a
written opinion, in which be maintained
that. though usury was exacted on loan,
yet the person loaning had a right 10 re-
cover7the amount loaned, and he was
therefore in favor of giving Judgment
id favorof the bank for the sum actual
~ due, after deducting the excess chat =
ed in the computation OF interest, (Which
was but few cents.
The judgment of the Court below, was
affirmed.
