The demurrer to the scire facigs was properly sus-
famed. Where an executor or administrator has
been guilty of dsrqstarit-that is a wasting or
misapplyng of the assets contrary TO the duty I'M
posed on him by law he becomes personally respon-
siDie. And his liability may be enforced either bv
an acuon OF debt on the judgment obtained against
such executor or administrators suggesting derIS-
tQp, or, as is the usual course in oT rrarIice nv n
Scire tdcias, founded on such Judgment suggesting

conducive upon him 10 show, that he has assets to
satisfy the judgment. SO that, in action OF debt
or seire facias, in such Judgment suggesting de-
Yastavit, he will not be allowed to plead any plea
which assumes to place his defence merely on the
want of assets for such plea would be contrary to
what is impliedly admitted by the Judgment against
him.
The Seire aeias, in the present case does not su-

The statement that the defendant converted te

sufficient 1t is not equivalent TO charter Of de-
Tastavit On the contrary the authorities fully es-

to the executors own use is no devastavit, if he
pays the testators debts the value with his own

Nov. 4th 1859.
EDITORS UNION AND AMEHIcAN ;--On Wednesday,
November I'd, succession of explosive sounds were
heard for 20 miles around Rome. at 3 O'Clock p NJ,
for u to 10 minutes All fowls, sheep, cattle and
horses manifested alarm, during an earthquake
or furious hurricane. At first, for one minute,
the sounds were like rapid discharges of cannon
under the ground few degrees East of South. Very
quickly these explosions spread the sound lateray
some 60 degrees in breadth, as if proceeding from
point 40 to 60 miles southwardly in the air The re-
verberatiOns resembled many wagons and droves of
cattle running over bridges, with many clashing
louder sounds, as if large fakes of rocks were slid
ing down cliffs of mountain side. There was an
apparent tremOr of the ground for few seconds,
not more than thunder makes, and, therefore, 1

arote and seeing no signs Of spoite, | inferred
it was an electromagnetic charge ranging through

crossing these mountains electromagnetic, under
derground, faint thunder, passing from Southwest
to Northeast In 1912, the loudest sounds here of
the New Madrid earthquake, were not SO great as
onetenh of these during the earlier part of the IL
MINUTES of duration.
IconGluded if such phenomenon had origin from
Cuba, or the volcanoes of Central America, the
tremor of the ground ought to be greater here If it
were meteoric stones falling the table plains of
the Cumberland Mountains toward AoAIinnville this

gard to these strange Gathering intsH4tiana,
The falling meteors of November, 1888, made no
noise but some aroIites are described giving
sounds for 10 to 10 minutes yery similar TO this
think these sounds came with meteoric stone of
great size at velocity indicating more rapid transit
than sound can extend itself in the air. When the
arolite of Egos Potamos fell there was long shin
ing cloud but could see no brightness in the sky.
Where l was, number of horses ran 400 yards
East then COO yards West, and then 200 yards East
leqping into yard the sound ceased. Here also,
So cattle ran from their pasture field in great alarm

earthquake. ~.
The meteoric sounds probably fell on this Oeca-
sion near the spot where was made the first sounds
as if platoOns were firing at the same time, with
SUGGESTIONS of II pound cannon discharges.
