at the opera in boston two weeks ago.
"Silva," is an old man with large gray
whiskers; one of those dropped from
his cheek, and fell on the back part of
the dress of 'sElvira," where it stuck in
position that gave it the appearance
OF cats tail.

SUNNYSIDE.


The morning had been rainy, and
the afternoon showed only a few mo-
mentary openings of clear sky +; so that
[ saw Sunnyside without the sun. But
under the heavy clouds there was some
thing awe-inspiring in the somber view
of those grand hills, with their many
colored forests, and of Hendrick Hud-
sons ancient river still flowing at the
feet of the ancient palisades.
The mansion of Sunnyside has been
standing for twenty-three years but
when first its sharp-angled roof wedged
its way up among the branches of the
old wood, the region was far more a
solitude than now; for at that time our
busy author had secluded himself from
almost everybody but one near neigh
bor; while he has since unwittingly
gathered around him little community
of New York merchants, whose elegant
country seats, opening into each other
by mutual INTERVIEWING roads, from
what looks like one vast and free estate
called on the time table Of the Railroad
by honorary name of Irvington:
Mr.. IRv1NG's APPEARANCE.
Mr.. Irving is not so old-looking as
one would expect who knew his age.
| fancied him as in the winter of life;
found him only in its Indian summer.
He came down stairs, and walked
through the hall into the back-parlor,
with firm and lively step that might
we'll have made one doubt whether he
had truly attained his seventy-seventh
year! He was suffering from asthma,
and was mufied against the damp air
with Scotch shawl, wrapped like a
great loose scarf around his neck but
as he took his seat in the old arm chair
despite his hoarseness and troub-
led chest, began an Unexpectedly viva
oious conversation, he made me almost
forget that l was the guest of an old
man long past his "threescore years
and ten."
WHAT HE THINKS OF HIS WORKS.
But what should one talk about who
had only half an hour with Washing.
ton Irving? l ventured the question
Snow that you have laid aside your
pen which of your books do you lool
back upon with most pleasure %
| He Immediately replied, 81 scarcely
look with full satisfaction upon any
for they do not seem what the might
have been; often wish that / coult
have twenty years more, to take then
down from the shelf, one by one, ani
write them over" -,...-
HIS HABITS OF LITERARY LABOR.
He spoke of his daily habits of writ
ing, before he had made the resolution
to write no more. His usual hours fo
literary work were from morning t.
noon. But, although he had generally
] found his mind most vigorous in tn,
early part of the day, he had alway
been subject to moods and caprices
t and could never tell, when he took th'
pen, how many hours would pass befor'
he would lay it down.
"But," said he, "these capricious pc
riods of the heat and glow Of compost
tion, have been the kappiest hours o
: my life. have never found, in any
thing outside of the four walls of m,
study, any enjoyment equal to sitting a
a my writing desk with a clean page,
5 new theme, and mind awake"
!. His literary employments, he re
marked, had always been more like en-
e tertainments than tasks.
n "Some writer's" said he, "appear t
have been independent of moods. 81

In 1876, the Legislature chartered the Union
Turnpike Company near Chattanooga. By pre-
vious aot OF 1S43, charter was granted to Samnel
B Mead to construct a turnpike road over the same
route and after doing work upon it he forfeit
ed tine charter. By the 10Th section Of the act of
1916, provision made for the valuation of the
work done by him, and that certificate for stock
to that amount should be issued 10 him, BY the new
company. This was done, and his work valued at
$4,000.
The last charter also forfeited by the LAPSE OF
time, authorized in the charter for the completion
of the road. But the stock was taken under it, the
defendants and complainant, and subscriptions made
in the names of fictitious persons or in the names OF
real persons without their authority.
meeting Of the stockholders was had, and diree
tors and president elected but nothing more was
done, and the enterprise again failed by the lapse of
time. No money was paid by the stockh olders, and
perhaps nothing done on the road.
Mead was one OF the directors elected. This bill
was filed by Mead to compel the other stockholders
to contribute proportion to their stock to make up
to him the said sum of $4,000 The Chancellor
gave the relief.
We are not aware OF any principle upon which
this decree can be sustained. His claim had been
converted into stock by the express provisions Of the
10Th section Of the act and his acquiescence therein
By executing receipt and receiving certificate Of
stock so he had no debt against the corporation if
it had ever become corporate body By the accept
snce of the charter and proper organization under
it; if he had, it was extDgushed By the dissolution
resulting frsm forfeiture, Hum. SO. In such q
the debts due TO and from the corporation are
all extinguished without some provision in the char

This was an action TO recover S25, and Judgement
being against The plaintiff he has appealed to this
court Il appears that defendant had taken Of CTi-
ven and others verbal lease TO certain coal lands,
under which he had permission, aud was digging
coal At this stage Of things the plaintiff and de-
fendant entered into the following agreement
agree to give G. w. Haskill ten days time to decide

August, 12th, 1854.
This arrangement had been brought about, through

that if the money vas paid on PGrOI coutrset for

contract was valid, because il was nos reduced TO

There is error in this charge, and the facts we'll
