Upright STEAM SAW MILL.

THIS mill commands the universal admiration of saw
mill men everywhere. As its merits become known, the
demand Tor il in~cTeases. Orders are coming from every
section Of this country, Canada, Cuba, and South Ameri-
ca. It is suited for every section of the world wherever
there Is timber to Re sawed, no matter Of what character
how hard, how large or how small. Two extensive ma
nufactories are now engaged in building these mills, yet
il is almost impossible TO turn them out as fast az they
are wanted. They embrace several valuable patents
and improvements, and combine all Of the following adj

The Failing Stars,

Saturday night was the anniversary Of the
famous meteoric phenomenon known as the
falling stars, which took place on the 18th
If November. 1893, and which created 80
much commotion at the time. The singular
appearances we're seen all over this CONT
Dent, and were equally striking in Europe.
Ga that night the entire vault Of heaven was
crowded with myriads Of ti!e-balls resemb'
ling sky rockets. which all seemed to come
from one point 10 the heavens, little to the
southeast Of the zenith. At first the phe-
nomenon assumed the form Of fiery snow,
which was driven with iuconceivable velocity
by the wind; they then changed into lumi'
nous balls Of fire, which seemed as though
the stars were falling, only that some of
them were larger than the moon at it's full. ~
Old and middle aged people we'll remember
these remarkable appearances, and the coz
steruatiou they created among our uueduca-
ted classes Richmond Whg

3adge Marshall ana the Faro Dealers.
Z. Ii. Montsiro and George W. Morgan
were before the Circuit Court OF Lyncb5urg
Thursday, under the following circumstances
as related by the Republican:
Some months ago Monteiro and Morgan
wrce indicted by the Grand Jury for dealing
Faro. They managed tc keep without the
process Of the court for a long time, and In
the meantime, the indictments against them
and 20 or 80 other parties, for similar offences,
we're stolen from the clerks Office. THIS tacr,
aud The absence Of important witnesses, AZ we'll
as the promised reform Of the parties, led to
compromise of the cases just preceding the
present term Of the court, by which the par
ties were to plead guilty and pay such fine as
the jury might adjudge. but escaping all i'm
prison ment. This agreement was made sub
ject to the scquiesoence Of the court. When
the jury was empannelled and the terms OF
the compromise stated, the judge declared
that he was no party to the compromise and
would not be one. The jury retired and as
sessed fines upon both parties, which fines
were, we believe, paid. After the rendition
Of the verdict, the judge, in the discharge OF
his duty, ordered the clerk to issue caplas
ad audiendum against the parties.
Thus stood the case on yesterday. Mr..
Speed on behalf Of Moutero, and MIR. \ ar
csy, on behalf OF Morgan, asked the Judge to
reconsider the question, and either agree to
the original compromise, or rsinstats the
parties to their original position before the
Court, BY di,missing the judgment against
them. The Judge refused to accede to either
proposition. lie said he had 90 doub. the
Attorney for the Commonwealth had done
his duty faithfully and conscentiously -tha!
| 90 blame was to attach 10 bin for anything
be bad doue-.he jury had discharged its duty
wel!-and now be intended to discharged bis.
! lie had no discretion in the premise.--Ehe law
was plain and positSt--the parties knew It
when they violated it-and he was compelled
to execute it. As to dismissing the seriic's
| agaius. them, be said they had fair warning.
| When the cases were first stated be declared
he was no psrty to them, and that Was the
| time for their counsel to have receded from
the compromise. 1t was now too late to do
so. The verdict of the jury would have to
stand, and the capias would have to get out.
As to the promised reforms Of the parties, be
had but little faith in them, and could not
consider them if he had.
The Judge certainly showed to great ad'an-
| tasa on this occasion as man who thorough.
ly understands his duty and who intends to
executes. We have seldom seen rs muca
satisfaction manifested On the part OF a court
mouse audience as Was plainly manifested on
! this occasion.

Another SLAYER At Charleston.

We give in another column an account
from the Charleston Mercury OF the SLAYER
Brothers, which has recently been brought
into that port. This is the second SLAYER that
has been taken into Charleston within two
months, and they PROMISE to afford our tre'
eating friends in that region an abundance
of nuts to crack. The interest 10 the case OF
the SLAYER brig Putnam, has greatly diminish
ed in consequence Of the prompt removal OF
the nggers, which. after all, ID the Chief point
of attraction for both fre-esters and aboll-
tionists. The trial of the crew Of the Putnam
takes place at Charleston on the 22d inst (,
and little ventilation of the law of the land
in those Southern ATTITUDES, will do an i'm
mense deal Of good. -.
Hitherto it has been the custom to send all
captured slsvsrs to New York for trial. and
the cons, quence has been that very general
| idea has taken possession OF the Southern
mind that a niger trader had no chance OF
obtaining justice in New York court, al
though there has not been one conviction In
ten years 10 our tribunals. 1t is supposed
that the sboitiouists rule everything here,
and that captured SLAYER is dealt with un-
der Northern law Instead Of being tried un-
! Ger the laws OF the Union, which rule IN the
South az we'll as in the North. Whether the
new system of sending the captured sIavers to
! Charleston is the result of accident or design,
is of little moment; We doubt not 1t will have
q good feet both there and here. A little
clsrl6cation Of the Law 10 Southern court
before Southern jury, under the advocacy Of
Southern lawyers, and without the contsgion
OF abolition excitement seekers, will go far
towards eDlightening the mercural minds OF
our Southern ootem poraries. Perhaps they
will fiud out that the laws against the slave
trade we're originally passed at the earnest
request of the South, and with no small op-
position from the North, aud that the extcr-
sion OF the time Of its fual prohibition to loOS
was concession made by the South to the
slave traders of Rhode Island and Massacbu-
setts.--Nep York Herald.

An increase, compared with the previous
