A Farm Mortgage Casa case came
up for trial the other day in the Dane County
Circuit Court, before Judge 0rton, on a note
and mortgage given 10 the Watertown and Mad
ison Rail Road Company. The Plaintiff did
not bring his suit for the foreclosure Of the
mortgage, but for money demand on the note,
the amount of which was some $4,000. The
Court decided to admit proof to show the false
representations under which the mortgagor was
induced to execute the note. This seems to be
point in favor of the Mortgagors many of
whom claim that they were led to mortgage
their farms through the fraudulent representa-
tions of the agents of the Rail Road Company.
The suit spoken of, after its trial par
TALLY gone through with, was continued until
the next term of the court, so that no result was
arrived at.
Tie anderson Case.-Tte trial of Larue
P Anderson, formerly of this city, who was
indicted some time ago in this county for For
gerry, came off in the Dane County Circuit at
Madison last week, before Judge orion, and
resulted in the disagreement of the jury. We
understand they stood four for conviction and
eight for acquittal. Anderson was ably defen-
ded by J. W. Johnson. and J. P. Atwood, of
Madison, and the prosecution was conducted
by Harlow Pease Of this city. The Madison
Argus in speaking of the case says that 1.-THE
summing up of the evidence by District Attor-
ney Pease was an able, logical. and well consid-
cred argument, rejecting credit upon his legal
ability and his official industry and zeal' An
derson was discharged upon his own recogni-
zance, in the sum of three hundred dollars, to
appear for trial at the next term of the court
The case probably will never be heard of again
ShinpZasters.-Owing to the scarcity of
have it in contemplation to issue promises to
pay'' for fractional parts of a dollar, in order
to get over the difficulty at present experienced
by means of the cause just mentioned. Though
temporary reliefmight be realized in that way,
still we doubt the expectancy of the movement,
for the reason that the tendency would be to
drive all the specie in the country out of circu

chants would hoard up specie for shipment and
there very soon would be none left in the State
But there is another objection to the arrange
ment, and that is the following provision of law
contained in the Sd section of the 18th Chapter
of the Revised Statutes, as follows mo per-
son shall pay. give, or receive in payment, or in
any way circulate. or attempt to circulate as
money. any bank bills or prommissory note,
check, draft or other evidence of debt, which
shall purport to be for a less sum than one dol

money of the United States and any person
who shall willfully violate any of the provisions
of this section, shall forfeit one hundred dol

T. TT BfoaCn IN H'atertoun.-The cause
amongst US seems to be almost out of mind,
batting few Dashaways, and a prosperous
Band of Hope. There are those who still at
tempt to make merchandise of the cause, going
about and talking of themselves deman-
ding dimes, SO, of respectable audiences,
whom they insult with their clownish buffoon-
cry But there are some hearts still true to
the cause, on whose sacred affairs the holy fires
burn as brightly as ever, let the world wag as
it will Such is Friend Brown, of the Chief

best sense of that abused term. No especial
credit to him for it either, as all will agree with
us in saying. who have seen his venerable IA

from the vulgar trash too often found in such re
