UNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURT.-This
Court is engaged i'll trying the case between
E. B. Ward ct al. as. Propeller Ogdensburgh,
arising out of the collision on this Lake in
which the Atlantic was sunk Messrs Lath-
rope, Newbury Swain, and Wade for libel
lants, and Messrs. Spaulding, Stanbery, Nc
Nett, and Kimball for respondents. On the
first day a preliminary question was discuss
ed, respondents claiming that so much of the
libel as sought damages IN personom against
the owner of the propeller, should be strick-
en- out as proceedings IN rem could not be
joined with proceedings IN personam. The
question was reserved by the court. Dana
ges claimed, 100000. The libel sets forth
that on Thursday, 9th day of August, 1852
the steamer Atlantic sailed from Buffalo with
passengers and freight, and that on the fol-
lowing morning the propeller Ogdensburgh
ran into the steamer and sunk her; that it
was on account of neglect and mismanage-
ment of the propeller.
The answer denies the substance of the Ii
bel, and says that the propeller left Cleveland
on the l 9th deeply laden, and that the col
lision was caused by conduct of the comman-
der of the steamer; that if the steamer had
kept on her course, she would have passed
the propeller nearly mile on her starboard
quarter, but that by ordering the helm of
the steamer to be put "aport," said steamer
was run across the bows of said propeller
and thus the collision occurred Respondents
pray that it may be taken as cross bill, and
damages awarded to them ClepelaHd Her

House building of brick is in a fair way to
become cheap. A new machine has been
invented to cut brick from the clay bank and
convey it from the machine to the kiln, rea-
dy for burning. A company has been form

of capital, for an extensive mandatory. 1t

The SuccesSjon.-As it is with some 6
matter of conjecture as to the succession, in
Consequence of the death of the Vice President
we remark that no provision is made. as mono
is necessary, in such an event. Duties of the
Vice President are limited to presiding over
the deliberations of the Senate.-In his alb
soncc, or upon his death, the President pro
tenn of that body, who is elected by the sem
ators, takes his place. Mr.. ArcHIsoN Of
Missouri, is now President pro tenn, but does
not assume the title of the Vice President
In case of the death of both the President
and Vice President of the United States, the
President of the Senate would become Presi-
dent of thu United, States, until an election
could be held, according to the provisions OF
the act of Congress of March /, 1892.

The Board of Supervisors of this County
at the last session resolved that it would not
pay for blanks used in the several County
Offices To test the validity of this resolution
Mr.. Crowley of the Courier, brought suit
against the County for blanks furnished the
clerk of the Court. Judge Howe has deci-
ded that the County is not liable to pay for
blanks furnished officers-that the officers
receive fee for making out all papers for
which blanks are used-that the blanks are
only convenience for the officers, by which
they save writing out their papers in full,
and that therefore the officers, and not the
County, should pay for the blanks used

There is no good reason why the farmer
should not live in as tasteful dwelling, walk
over as velyety lawn, as any other man. A
slovenly farmer loses more bynegligence, ev-
cry year, than would suffice to keep his house
and grounds in perfect trim. And ifby any
means such an one could be persuaded to
commence the work of improvement around
his own door, the desire to extend it would
be so strong, that in a comparatively short
time, the most remote corner of the farm,
would show some trace of the fostering hand
of taste, and the credit side of the farm &C
count book would foot up amuch larger bal
ance.

and the other seed, and will faithfully per
