1MpoRTANr TO MmLERs AND FARMERS
In Frederick County Court, VIM. NJ Merrick,
Esq, acting Judge, delivered decision. few
days ago. in the case ofthe trustees of CHARLES
w. Walker, an insolvent, against Samuel s.
Phips, which is OF much interest to milers and
farmers. The facts ofthe case are thus stated
in the Herald
Mr.. Phips had, before the appointment of
the trustees by Walker, taken and delivered
wheat at Walkers mill, and received checks
or receipts for the number of bushels thus de-
posted. The wheat was thrown into thegen-
eral granary with other wheat then in the mill.
and ground up by Walker. 1t had not been
priced, nor was there any special contract for
It's sale 10 Walker but it was mere delivery
of the wheat at the mill, which was disposed
of as above stated.
The court decided, thpt Phips could not
claim an amount Of wheat equal to what he
carried to- and deposited at the MILL but that
he must take his dividend for the value of this
wheat, with the other creditors of Walker; and
that to enable the person delivering and de-
posting wheat at a mill to recover the amount
thus delivered, should the miller prove insol-
vent he must require the miller to deposit his
in a granary or pile scperate from all the 9TH
er wheatin the mill,
This is the first time this question has ever
been before our court, and it has never been
decided by the Court of Appeals ofour State.
II has long been considered tho law among our
lawyers, and its correctness has now been es-
tablished by the above decision, which is bind.
ing in Frederick county, until reversed by the
Court of Appeals. No appeal was takenfrom

AN ExPERIMENT.-The N. Y. Tribune
says:-"Singular results are obtained in this
city from very simple application of the
nervous fluid, animal magusetism, or whatever
be tho agency, TO brute matter. Let a party
ofslx or eight persons sit around common
pine table for twenty minutes to half an hour
with the palms of the hands fiat on the top of
the table; 1t is not necessary that their minds
should pay any attention to the process. or
conversation be suspended; but presently the
table becomes SO charged with the mysterious
fluid that it begins to move; then rise from it,
push away your chairs; still holding your
hands near, though it's not necessary to touch
it, and it will turn round from end to end; and
even proceed rapidly about the room without
any visible agent, on which excursions the per
SONS must bear it company or the current is
broken and the movement stops. This sim
pie experiment may be easily tried; it requires
no faith and no outlay OF physical or moral
strength and the result with table that is not
too heavy is pretty sure to follow"

sufficient endations to insure their general
