Ave long been In the habit Of claiming great
6 honor and glory" for the success Of some of
their enterprising citizens in raising beeves,

q The Albany Circuit Court, says the

esting case. Last January Mr.. Walton, find
ing road impossible on account Of snowdrifts,
took down the fence of Mr.. Fox to pass through
his field to which the latter objected, and as
saulted the former, who brought an action for
assault. The Judge, in charging the jury, de-
clared emphatically that where the roads are
impassable, by reason of snow or for other
cause, the traveller has right to enter upon
adjoining lands and pursue his journey that
the Supervisors are required by law to open
the roads in all cases and that for neglect of
duty in such case, the Supervisors were liable
to Indictment. The jury thereupon acquitted
Mr.. Walton, aud established an important
precedent for the "law of the road

VULGAR ERRORS IN LAw.-VsrBaL and
Written Gnarautee.-It is commonly believed
that if a man accompanies his friend 10 a shop.
and passes his word for the debt be may there
contract, the guarantee is good in law But
this is mistake the purchaser is the person
TO whom credit is given, and the other can
take the debt upon himself only by means of a
trrittSn promise.
Tender iH Payment.-If you offer to a cred
itOr what you conceive to be the just amount
of your debt, you think you have made a legal
tender but that depends upon your discretion
in making il. If you clog the offer with any
condition, even the stipulation for a receipt In
full, ii is invalid a legal tender, to be good,
must be entirely unconditional.
CiriI Liability of DrUnknrds.-We all
know that ofenses against the person are held
to be aggravated rather than otherwise by
their being committed under the influence of
intoxicatiOn +; but il is less known that drunk
ard Is securely bound by his written deeds.
The signature Of a drunken man Is yitiafed
only when the drunkenness was produced by he
contrivance Of those 10 whom the bond was
given, or when the intoxication goes the length
OF depriving him entirely of reason
Plants Belong to The Gronnd When you
give up your occupation Of a garden, and do
not choose that the trees and shrubs you have
planted should become the property of the land
lord, you are tempted to cut them down if Won
cannot remove them. Don't; or you will sub
ject yourself TO An action at law Leave your
own flowers, too. and your own box borders. or
else prepare 10 stand the consequences of a
contravention in the law.-Chnnbers' Jonr.

ONE OF THE BoYs.-Rev. II. W. B., a dis
tinguishsd clergyman of Brooklyn, was taken
on a stage sleigh, from the depot in W, Ia
New England town, where railroad communi-
cation then ended.) to b, place fifty
miles distant, where he was to lecture that
night 1t was warm February day; the
sleighing was splendid. B. was on the box be-
side young driver; the teams, of four horses
each, were perfection, and the result was that
the nifty miles were got over in something like
four hours-pretty good railroad time on some
tracks. But it didn't do the teams of horses
any good, and when, some days after, knowl.
edge of their condition came to the proprietor
of the line, he called up that particular driver,
(Sam,) and asked how he came to drive his
horses that day at such a rate. "Well," said
Sam, II had one Of the boys on the box with
me-he wanted to see 'em go, and put 'em
through Nv Y Post.

Of these curiosities asked after the general

IaIrATISG COSGREss-They are having
spicy times in the Texas Legislature The
Austin Sentinel gives the following sample of
the proceedings,
night to meet at 4 clock the next morning
Going into the hall about sunrise on Wednes-
day we observed the peoples servants to be in
state Of admirable disorder. Some were in
their seats, others upon the floor, claiming the
Speakers attention, while the cry Of order, or
der, order, was ringing throughout the spacious
apartment. Amid the uproar and confusion
the taciturn member from Pamela, who rarely
ever speaks unless be feels in the humor, which
occurs oftener than enthusiastically, was
striving with all his might to make his shrill
piercing voice heard. Panola was denying the
right of the Isle Flowers to be heard, through
her energetic member, John Henry, unless there
was some motion before the Honorable Repre-
sentatives to justify discussion. In the midst
OF his eioquence the speaker was suddenly in
terrupted by a motion to adjourn, when the
following spicy dialogue occurred
" Member from Galveston For reasons ap-
parent to all, L move an adjournment to 3
o'clock this afternoon
" "Panola-'I would inquire of the honorable
member, to what apparent reasons he alludes ,
"GalvestOn-' On account of the lamented

S The ruling passion strong in death was
never more manifest than in the case Of Lady
Coventry, who, when death was stealing her
charms, refused to let even her nurses see her
once transcendently beautiful face. Walpole
ia his letters thus speaks of her:
Poor Lady Coventry: 1t is hard upon a
standard beauty when she is in q deep con-
sumption. She lay constantly on q couch, with
pocket glass in her hand and when that told
how great the change was she took to her bed.
The last fortnight she had no light in her room
but the lamp of tea kettle; and, at last, took
the things in through the curtains of her bed,
without suffering them to be undrawn."

ADVANTAGEOUS TO KSow.-Many a. death
has resulted from an accident, when q little
skill In the treatment Of a wound might have
prevented sacrifice Of life. In the excite
ment attendant upon the injury of fellow
being, We are too apt to lose the presence of
mind necessary to proper consideration of the
means by which relief can be rendered: and
the necessity Of making ourselves perfectly ia
miiiar with the manner in which wounds and
injuries should be treated in cases of emergen-
eey, Tor the knowledge Of the proper means to
be adopted for the stoppsge of bleeding from a
wound, may be of service to US when We least
expect it. rs-.. .Ifr.. ..'' d.
tice particularly whether the stream is an even,
steady or jerking or pulssting stream if
1t is even and steady, the probability Is it Is
from vein, particularly if the color Of the
blood is dark red Bleeding from an artery
ispecuiar, the blood being Of light scarlet
color; the stream comes in that jerking man
ner which is seen when fire engine is playing
upon high building. To stop the flow of
blood in vein, first close the wound with the
hand firmly, then fold up any cloth, tow, fax,
or leather, make it into a hard pad an inch
thlck, at least large enough to cover the entire
wound, bind over this firmly any bandage,
handkerchief, or strap, or even the bark of q
tree raise the wounded part higher than the
BODY OF the patient; keep him quiet; if he
mas bied large quantity give him (if at hand)
a little spirits and and water and send for the
doctor If the bleeding is from an artery, take
your handkerchief, tie it around the limb be-
tween the wound and the heart, put strong
stuck under the handkerchief give it two or
three twists, and you will stop the blood, if
you have made it tight enough In all other
respects the same treatment as above
In all small wounds, merely elevating the
part higher than the body and retaining it so
for short time, will arrest the bleeding.
For bleeding at the nose, apply ice to any
part Of the body, moving the ice around it is
oest TO apply 1t to the arm-pits, nape of the
neck, DE. Keep the patient quiet; do not let
him cough, &c, or bleeding will return
