CHARLES c. BURLEIGH IMPRISONED. In the
Pennsylvania Freeman of March 18th and 25th, ac-
counts were given by c. C. Burleigh, Of his having
been twice prosecuted for selling Auslavery be Okla
on the Sabbath Of his conviction and sentence b
pay fine Of four dollars in the first case and in de-
fault of payment to be imprisoned. Mr. Burleigh re-
fused to pay aud went to the JAIL but for some REQ
son was set ut liberty. Probably some friend pnid
the fine. In the second il stance he was imprisoned
in Chester county joil sixkdays. Mr. BurIeigh wss
Editor Of the Voice of Freedom vol 4, and in CO so-
quencc Of my being connected with tho publishing
of the paper Of that volume, became pretty &oll
acquainted with him. Mr. Bureigh il first rate sort
of man, but entertains Quaker views in regard to
the Sabbath, and has Quakorcss for his wife. Still
he will find Unnecessary probably,to become Quak
es or Jew, by profession, in order to sell books on
the first day of the week, without liability to fine
or Imprisonment.

STAGE ACCIDENT, AGAIN. According to state
mcnt in the Vermont Temperance Herald Of lnst
week, the driver of the Royalton stage, of which
sketch of the sad catastrophe given in the last
Voice. was grossly intoxicated for long time be-
fare the stage ran off the bank that the passengers
were fearful that some danger would befal them In
consequence of the incar acty Of the driver. cor
respondent of tho Herald says that in the narrowest
part of the road near the place of accident he turned
his horse and sleigh around without Inconvenience
and thinks had there boon careful driver on this
stage, no accident would have occurred.
Stage Propretors are responsible for the kind Of
drivers they employ, and should the facts appear
before County oFiSupremc Court, as above repre-
sened, the disaster named will prove hard one to
the propretors of the Royalton and Lebanon ins Of
stages.

bloody tlans action occurred.

True the Bankrupt act only required ~ days
before the hearing But the same act pro
vides that the courts may make rules tor Pro
ceedings in Bankruptcy. The rules, winch
are put into the case and protlered IN the
plea, provide that notice shall be published
three week successfully. The defendant was
therefore bound to prove this allegation
Tie Torn ofHn1ford V. The Toson Of Hart
land. (Pauper Case) Judgment in c. g
for Hartford. Exceptions by Hartland.-
Argued by Mr. Barrett and MIR Chandler for
Hartford-and by Mr. Converse for Hartland.
Opinion of the Court pronounced by Royce,
Cd. Judgment of the County Court affirm
ed.
Appeal from order of removal. Issue on
two pleas. One that settlement was not in
Hartland the other that the pauper was not
chargable. The paupers settlement was in
Hartland unless one had been gained by sew
en- years residence, under the 9Th sec. of the
act Of 1917. Held that he could not COM
mence gaining settlement in Hartford It'd
he was Of the age of legal majority.
Held also, that removal to Lebanon with
his family and effects, and setting up business
and remaining there three or four months,
and then returning to Hartford, was an inter
ruption of his residence i'll Hartford, so as to
prevent settlement, though there may have
been an intention when he removed TO Leb-
anon of returning to Hartford at some time.
Under the second plea, it was held that
where the pauper was sickly widow, and
had four small children, though there NAV
have been some means existing out of which
she may have subsisted only for a short time,
the court would not in that case disturb the
order especially as there did not appear to
be any collision, on the part of Hartford to
get rid of the pauper at that time, to prevent
the pauper from gaining settlement-thrce or
four years being yet necessary in order to
gain the pauper settlement in Hartford.
Enoch TVetherJe v. AlpAeus Ellison. Judg-
ment in G. G. for the defendant. Exceptions
by the plaintiff. Argued by Mr. Fu!lam for
the plaintiff, and by Mr. Chandler for the de-
PENDANT. Opinion of the Court pronounced
by Kellogg, j. Judgment of County Court
reversed.
Trespass for carrying away manure.
The plaintiff purchased farm which the
was occupying as tenant to the plain
tif's grantor.
In February the defendant carried away
the manure which had been made during the
winter from the hay &C., raised on the farm
the previous season. The manure had been
kent in the stable, with the intention on the
part of the defendant of removing it.
The plaintiff purchased the farm within the
same winter and prior to the removal of the
manure, and at the time of purchase had no
notice of the defendants intention of carrying
away the manure. The defendants tenancy
expired the first of the next April, and Che
plaintiff at the same time came into possession
Of the farm.
Held that the manure belonged to the free
hold and passed by the deed to the plaintiff,
that the defendant had no right to remove

THOMrsON's IMPROVED HEAT GENERA
TOR. We have recently had the pleasure of
examinit an improved Heat Generator at
the Malleable Iron Mandatory of Messrs
Bruens & Co., Newark, N j., the construc
ton and operations of which fully sustain the
proprietors in their most sanguine eXpecta-
lions in regard to its utility economy and con-
venience. 1t is the invention Of Mr. W.
Thompson, one of the firm, who has secured
his invention by caveat, and who is justly de-
serving much credit for the skill and ingenu-
ity by which he has combined perfect simplic
ity of arrangement with great economy in flu
eli, and steady and regular motion of the
steam engine.
Messrs b. & Co. have cylinder boiler for
driving horse power engine on the above
plan, the cylinder being 20 feet by IS inches,
with 8 fire chambers entering under the side
of it, and opening into an air chamber that
runs the whole length of tho boiler a little be-
low, and opposite the fire fues. The draft
through fires is from underneath the fire cham
Der. As soon as the coal is we'll ignited, and
the steam up, the fire chambers are made
tight with mortar. The damper at the end
of the boiler is then opened, and current or
draft of air is admitted through the air cham
Der, which is sufficiently strong to carry off
the gas from the coal, and keep up a strong,
steady heat, giving steady motion to the en-
CINE for six, eight or ten hours. One fire du-
ring working hours each day is all that is re-
quired, and the amount Of coal used is in pro-
portion to the length of time the engine is re-
CURED to run. One dollar and fifty cents
worth of the best anthracite coal is sufficient
for ten hours operation. By this method of
setting the boiler it may last for generation,
as the strong draft through the fire which is
so cutting and fatal to iron, is completely OBJ
waited, and the time of the engineer and fire.
man can'be devoted mostly to other bust
ness.
When double boilers are used the air cham
Der placed between and below them is all that
is required for both.
The Company has also an air furnace for
refining their iron, from which they get off
from three to four heats per day more than
can be used in the common furnace.
Those who are interested in these matters,
would do we'll to examine the principle of set
ting above referred to, as we consider it the
most economical and best method of setting
single or double cylinder boilers yet introduce
ed-FUmer and Mechanic.

ROBBERY; LANCE HAUL! VIM. NJ. Field,
stage proprietor &c, brings in substance the follow
ing report: The jewelry store of Mr. Dyer, Of Mid
debury, was broken open on Thursday night last,
and large amount of jewery stolen. Some sixty
watches belonging to customers, and left there for
repairs; also dozen new watches constituted apart
of the articles taken. Some of these were gold, and
the value of the whole was probably not less than
$500. The article of silver spoons was estimated
at not less than 500. In addition to the articles
specified, large quantity of other wares were talk
en-; also SIS in money, belonging to Mr. faggart,a and
which was left in part of the building through
which the thieves passed in going to the jewellers
shop.
As reported, the thieves entered the building at
n room formerly occupied by Mr. DUSTIN as bar
bcrs' shop; sawed hole through partition, suf-
cienty large to admit of their passage; entered the
store first namcd secured the valuables, and es
capped.
Several men have been despatched in pursuit of
the thieves aud it is hoped they will succeed in
curing the depredators and in bringing them to JUS
tce.
DC Since writing the above, the Assistant Post
master at Middebury writes that the stolen proper
ty has all been recovered 1t found sccreted in
an old stone cutters shop. Good, so far.

ALARGE TRAIN. On Saturday, the 18th
instant, although the track was slippery from
snow and ice, Capt. Houston, the conductor
of the freight train on the Eckhart railroad,
brought safely down to Cumberland (Md)
from the mines, twenty eight loaded cars in
one train, with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Com pany'slocomotive Cumberland. The
total weight Of the train is estimated at three
hundred and twenty-four tons, the nett weight
of coal conveyed in the cars being two hun
dred and seventeen tons.
When the Eckhart Railroad was designed,
many persons well skilled in such matters, ex-
pressed doubts as to the ability to restrain
large descending trains on the grades of a
hundred and thirty-fve feet per mile but the
operations for the past nine months on the
Eckhart Railroad have forever set all ques-
ton on the subject at rest When the canal
is finished to Cumberland, we shall be delight
ed to record the arrival of such trains at the
basin hourly instead of dady.-Ci0aian.
