BEAUTIES OF TIE LAVA case was de-
cded in the Common Pleas ut Cambridge
the other day, which happily illustrates the
glorious uncertainty of the law and the
very lcisurely manner in which our courts
render satisfaction TO litigants. In the
Spring of 1919, Tuttlc, of Acton, sold COW
TO Brown, of Concord, for fifty dollars ;
soon after the purchase, Brown discovered
that the COW had one -ry tcat. He then re.
qnested Tuttle TO allow him discount of
Sl3.50 on the bill, and stated that he was
ready to pay the balance. Tuttle refused
to make any allowance for the dry teat, and
sued Brown for the whole bill. The case
was decided in his favor, but was carried up
on appeal, again returned to the Common
Pleas, where it has remained on the docket
until last Tuesday, when it was decided in
favor of Brown. The costs have amounted
to eight hundred Fachburg Re-
reiGc.

"THE POWER OF DATES. - (Continued.)

To the remarks made the 25th in response to
in the Lntelligeneer, @as rejoins as follows:
:" THE pArEs-cosrrsuEp.-The writer of the
paragraph entitled the Power Of Dates published in the
Inelgencer of Saturday, desires to be little explicit
on the subject alluded The r respecting
the British sailing for American waters appeared in the
first column the tenth page Of the London Times OF the
October under the head of Narat and Military In
teigence and it arrived Halifax by the Africa the
oeat fourth Of October. And in the New York Herald OF
the ls of October the fourth column Of the fourth
the reinforcement the English squadron the West Indies
is announced information obtained from the London Times
Of the trceyh Of October.
We confess we do not see what u is aiming at What
is the power of the date October 24h at which the
London Times of the 10Th reached Halifax or of that Of
the 3st of October on which the matter Of tie Times APP
peared in the New York Herald?
When argued in behalf of Mr. Barclay, that because
there was notice of the reinforcement of the British West
India squadron the Times of the l2th therefore the
der could have reference the Maury we comprehended
the imputed power of dates But as Lord Clarendon ex-
pressy assured Mr. Buchanan that Russian privateer and
especially the Maury, constituted the inducements OF the
squadron, and actually produced Mr. Barclays documents
in order to fory the assurance it would seem that the
only question now must be of the veraey and sincerity of
Lord Clarendon
Now although journal after journal in the United States
does scrupe say that the appehensions implied by
Lord Clarendon ridiculous therefore, to mpeach
his official and personal honor? Surely not
After the British government deluded, as London
journals declare by the silly parade of Mr. Webb, of the
New York Courier into the scheme of recruiting troops,
why should we hesitate admit that il be msed by
Mr.. Barclays romance about the Maury?
The British government employs bad advisers first in
the worthy General Webb and secondly in Mr. Barclay.
Between them BOTH they have contriyed to make their
clients do passably ridiculous things to the great edca
ton of the readers of newspapers and the amusement of
aboth hemispheres"
f@e@ continues to make digent search, he may, per-
hars discover plurality of recent orders for the reinforce
of the British West India squadron given at success
siye dates and for different considerations.

MR.. BUCHANAN AND THE LONDON TIMES.

The following is copy of the contradiction forwarded
by Mr. Buchanan the American minister at London the
editors of the London Times in recitation of the article
made certain the members Of the British min
isy on the subject Of the with Russia and especially in
relation to the British ensments in this country for the
Crmea Its mild and temperate tone contrasts admirably
with the violent and imperative character of the charges Of
the Times and yet notwithstanding it was forwarded
to the editors of that journal nearly month ago. they
had refused to make any correction mp to the period
of the departure the Canada We not dis
posed comment at length upon such exhibition rs
this The act of attribung the American minister
pressions UNANIMOUSLY false followed up by stubborn de-
censon to publish his calm and respectful contradiction
proves foregone determination Of misrepresentation which
would be unworthy of the most irresponsible journal Such
conduct speaks for itself
ssThe American minister presents bis compliments the
editors Times and them that they have been
msnormcd with respect the expressions and conduct
rbuted him in their leading article of this morning Al
mindful of the neutrality Of his government which he
fully approves ii with deep regret be learned he first
did Washington that attempts made the United
States recruit soldiers for the British army because he
felt confident that these attempts would tend to weaken the
friendly relations between the countries which it has
been his ardent desire, his arrival in England,
cherish and promote.
The American minister can course, no dis
cusson in the public journals Of questions between the
governments what Is what is contained in
any correspondence which may arisen Of these
tons but he felt both the Times and himself To
make this prompt correction.
