Important TO EndOrsers.

At the last session of the Court of APP
peals, at Utica, n. Y, case was decided
which is of much Importance to the hasl-
ness community. A note was made by
Hollister, epJorsed by Tallmap, and after
wards endorsed by Ballou, and was then
transferred to, and became the property OF
Spencer 1t was not paid at maturity,
and the plaintiff instructed the notary to
give the usual notice of protest to the
second endorser, but to omit to serve such
notice on the first endorser, by which
omission the latter became discharged from
liability. The second endorser refused to
pay on the ground that he also was dis
charged by the omission to charge the
preceding endorser, and on other grounds.
But the Court held him liable, aad gave
judgment accordingly. Such DECISION
should be understood by those who write
their names under those of other people.
The points made on the trial can be gath
cred from the following notice oft The
defendant BECAME the second endorser OF
a promissory note, made for the purpose OF
taking up these notes of the same maker,
(who was insolvent,) but endorsed by
other parties, who had been charged By
notice of non -payment-suph notes being
then held aud owned by bank which
discounted them, The note was delivep-
ed for that purpose to the plaintiff, who
was an endorser upon the protested notes,
and who gave no present consideration for
it. Held, That the obligation of the
maker to pay the prior note was sufficient
consideration as to him, apd supported
the undertaking of the defendant as an
accommodation endorser. The holder,
under such circumstances, can recover up
on the note without having taken up the
noter held by the bank. The plaintiff, at
the maturity of the note, directed notary
public to give notice of the npu-paymaut
to the defendant, and to omit giving no.
ticc to prior epdorser. Held, That evil
dence was ipaamissible that such prior
endprser would have been charged but for
that direction. HLeloags to each endOrser

Charged, aAd tic holder 0Fes aa duty to

BIZ We desire to call the attention of
our readers to the Boot 4 Shoe adver-
tisement of Mr.. George t. Warren, of
Wellsville. We had the pleasure of a
gail from Mr. Warren last Saturday, and
our brief visit with him impresses us that
he is a gentleman we'll calculated to do a
good business as merchant, and wear
we'll as personal acquaintance. Those
who know assure US that his boots and
shoes wear well, too. He informed us
that the entire boot and shoe trade at
Wellsville amounts to about Sl5, 600, and
that the entire "trade" of the PLACE is es'
timated at upwards of 100000.

ON WhtSkeY PedRing.

We make the following extract from a
private letter from very much esteemed
friend in this county, as he therein gives
us liberty to do, upon which to found
a brief and general review of the topic it
suggests
''There is nothing else | can think of at
present that would interest you, except, as a
Temperance man, you will regret to hear that
within tho last six weeks at least three whisky
pedlars per week have passed down and up
this stream ~. They are WellsYille men, and
pass Copdersport ostensihly as flour and feed
pedlars, but in reality are rum-pedlars CD.
Now, Chase, you know me well enough to
know that am by no means tee-tntalleP (a) (;
but do hate to see men make business of
dispensing poison, surreptitiouSly, at prices
yielding them 500 per cent profit and yield
ing the state and county no revenue az. Ifit
was good liquor, il would be the less matter
but it is regular strike-nme, and kills at 40
rods (5). Why not license Glassmire to sell
good liquors, or make these pedlars pay Ii
cense for selling bad (G)? You can make this
the tpxt for o good rum-leader in your next"

sentences, IN order to facilitate the readers

ment OF each as it comes. Therefore,

DARING RoBBERY.-On Wednesday
evening of last week, a stranger stopped
It the house of Adam Harmann, living a
few miles above town on the river, and
inquired how far it was to Geer's tavern.
They told him and after careful survey
of the room he left. The family retired
and about II o'clock Mr.. Ii. was awaken

Immediately silenced by severe blow
over the head from a chisel with which

window and entered the house. His wife
then awoke and they silenced her by a
blow with the cane and threatened both
if they did not keep still. Then they
took all the money to be found, some S2C
and two guns and departed. The chise
was left. and also half of shirt collar, torn
off by Mr.. H. in the scuffie when he was

AN OLD Mans REVENGE.-It is eVi-
dent that Mr.. Buchanan has great deal
of fight in him for those whom he regards
as his enemies. Read the following late
Washington letter:
81 forgot to say to you that while Gen
Bridgens, of Lock Haven, Clinton county,
of your State, was in this city protesting
against the appointment of Mr. Quiggle
as consul to Antwerp, he let out fact
which bears somewhat upon the future of
Pennsylvania politics. After he had told
Mr. Buchanan that the appointment al
luded to was q most unfortunate one, the
President responded by stating that he
desired to be let alone-that he was now
an old man, who would soon be out of Of
fee and forgotten but that he, General
Bndgens, would render him, j. B., an es-
sential service, by helping to crush Gov.
Packer-a point which the President ear
nestly declared he and his friends had
fully determined upon--and that Bridg-
ems started home resolved, after having
had this programme submitted to him, to
take off his coat and assist in putting
down your Governor"
AS long as old Buck has the public
purse In his keeping, he can easily secure
plenty of fighting men like this Lock
Haven paper General.

BD- BY the steamer Anglo Saron,
which arrived off Father Point, N. b., On
Saturday, we have the following import

A great battle is reported to have oc-
Cured near Milan, in which the French
claim q decisive victory, giving the loss
of the Austrians at 10000 hors d@ COM

as 10000 men. The Austrians had eyac-
uated Milan.
The Queen of England had delivered
her speech to Parliament. The docu-
ment possesses no important points. A
motion of want of confidence in the Min
istry was pending in the House of Com

SENATORIAL CoNvENTIoN.-As the
time is approaching for holding County
Conventions and appointing delegates
therein, il may be well to fix upon time
and PLACE for holding our Senatorial Con-
vention in this district comprising War
rem, Mexican, Potter and Tioga Counties.
We therefore introduce the subject by
suggesting that it be held at Smethport,
on Wednesday, the 10th day of August
next, at o'clock r. NJ. What say our
friends of the Tioga Agitator, Potter

rea Mai.
The Tioga Agitator suggests Couders-
port as the best place, and Wednesday,
August 31st as the best time. As the
several County Conventions in the Dis
trict will not have met before that time,
we agree with the Agitator both as to
time and place.

observe, are earnestly and righteously
committed to their support; and we have
not doubt of their triumphant election.
