DEAR SIR: For several years past
lave been severely afflicted with sick head
aches, and after trying every thing could
1hink of, and receiving no benefit whatever,

TO give that trial also. and procured two
bottles from your Agent DIR. II. A. Dargnn,
of Darlington, S. c., and from the time
began to take it, have not had single
s.tta, k OF headache, and now iecl in hopes
ahat even the two bottles have made a cure
OF me. But fearing that | may have a
relapse, have determined to continue it
longer. and enclose you $40 90 for which
you will please send as many bottles as is
customary for that amount. By Rail Road.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN ]. GREEN

LIQUIDArED DAMAGES FOR UNDERWRITING PREMISES.
AUG. r. EFiiiam Miiioch agt. Henry j. Gsaey.
The Judge, in delivering his decision, says that
this action 10 brought to recover the sum Of one
hundred dollars under the folio wing clause in a
lease, in which the plaintiff IL landlord and defeud-
ant was tenant:-"And quit and surrender the
pre- ises at the expiration OF the said term in ~
good state and condition reasonable use and wear
thereof win permit, damage by the elements ex-
ccpted and engage not to let or underlet the whole
or any part of the said premises without the writ.
ten consent of the said William Mrloch, under. the
stipulated damages Of one hundred d0llarso 1t has
been clearly proved that the premises were Ifs at
the expiration Of the lease in untenantabIe or
DER and that during the demised term the defend
ant nnderlet it, without such consent, to one Mrs.
Mitchell, who moved in and occupied the same, the
defendant having moved out therefrom. And nov
the question for me TO decide, is whether the suu
mentioned In the lease AZ stipulated damages, shall
be considered hquidated damages, and the plaintA
entitled TO recover the whole OF that sum without
damage. The following Is the rule Of law as laid
2O decided in the Court for the Correction OF Eryor
in this State:--" Whether q sum agreed upon bV
the parties as Q measure of damages, shall be con-
sdered as liqu,dated damages, only az penalty,
depends upon the intent Of the parties and crcua-
stances Of the subject matter OF the contract the
damages must necessarily be wholly uncertain and
incapable of estimation, the party falling to perform
win be held to pay the stipulated sum as iquaated
damages. think this case comes within the case
above cited and the plaintiff Is entitled to recover
the sum claimed" Therefore order Judgment to be
entered for the plaintiff for one hundred dollars
damages and costa.

Boy SHOT IN CAxBRIDGEPORr.--About five
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, o iue promising lad
banned william Page, Jr., was shot near River 5ide
Cambridgeport. The little fellow, with his compa-
Diuns, about TO battle ia the river, wien be vas
shot by man who was cunning on the marsh the
gunner was in search OF marsh birds, and did not
see The boy when he fired the fatal charge. The
fhot took effect 10 the right temple, causing very
deep ard ir ocular wound; the boy was instantly
taken up and conveyed to house, and DR.. Allen
ives sent for, but the little fellow breathed only
few times after reaching the house. Intelligence Of
the awful accident was Immediately communicated
TO Mr.. Page, In Boston, who a. once returned home
more painful spectacle than was exhibited az the
agoDzed parents bent over that beautiful boy IL IL
impossible to conceive. A few moments after the
occurrence OF the accident, the person who dis
charged the gun was arrested by the police and
committed. II Is hoped that this sad affair will de-
ter gunrers from pursuing their sport the marshes
In this vicinity. Several accidents, happily Of no
great consequence, had occurred before; but not.
wfthstandiDg the city ordinances and admonitions
OF police of6cers, men and boys have continued TO
pursue their sport apparently regardless Of accident
10 life and limb. At this season Of the year. when
boys are accustomed TO battle In every river and
creek that affords an opportunity, the practice Of
cunning on the marshes Is criminal In the highest
degree and deserving Of the severest penalty OF the
law. The authorities Of Cambridge Will take inme-
date and effective measures to prevent the most
culpable practice In future. We learn that the
name Of the person who fred the gun was Hovey--

PRACTICE-PLEADING-CMP
AUGUST Merrill %. GTinseH. Notion 70 havd
the complaint amended. The reason Of the motion
and the facts Of the case appear sufficiently Ia the
opinion Of the Court.
MITCHELL, J.--t is essential for many purposes
Of the suit that the place Of trial should be clearly
stated in the complaint. II determines where mo-
lions are to be made, as well AZ where the trial ia
TO be had. Both parties must DO at q less 10 know
where to proceed until that be distinctly settled
The omission Of . statement important in its con.
sequences Ii not like q mere irregularity, and the
defendant would be entitled to have il corrected in
the same way, even after an answer put in. The
obtaining Of time to answer Is not, therefore q
waiver of the irregularity. The statement Of the
name Of the Court in the summons has been held 10
dispense with the statement of it in the complaint.
but the mere name of county in the summons does
not necessarily show that Is put there 10 indicate
where the place Of trial Is to be. 1t may have been
to show where the attorney issuing the summons
resided and this probably was its object in this
case. Until the complaint was served the plaintiff
could have selected any county for the place Of trial.
Notwithstanding this name on the summons. The
irregularity in emitting the place Of trial in the
plant s not therefore, cured by reference to the
summons. The complaint must be amended or
struck out az irregular. The amendment may b0
made without costs.

Mr. Rmledge, whose house was prostraied, and who
was himself badly wounded by falling timber,
noted the effect of Che storm particularly than

clear away, and has not yet been found. His corn,
and even onions, were torn mp BY tho roots, and 10
many places the prairie grass WAS cut - with .
