care of assault and battery. tried in Phil
7:,delphia recently, before Judge Thoup-
son, the following charge was given in
volving the question OF the rights Of the
Highway: The man who Gyms or occupies
= house has right to the use Of half the
street in front thereof, subject, however
TO the restriction Of the right Of way
The owner has every right to occupy and
use the street. that does not interfere With
the right of way. Bat in his right. it
cannot be said that carriage or car shall
not stop OF the street, or in front of his
property yet no one has legal right to
stop in front OF any mans property so as
10 interfere with the business or pleasure
OF the occupant. If an oysternman or
a drayman stop before mans house or
store and interferes with the business OF
the owner or occupant, said owner or occu-
pant has right 70 move him away. This,
however, does not interfere with an oys-
terman or other person who has right to
use the street reasonable length of time :;
but he should remove when requested to
do SO, if he interferes with the business OF
the occupant. 70 take hold of horses
head to remove him from the premises so
occupied is no cause for assault and bat
tery-this alone would not Justify the
owner Or driver of the horse in striking
to commit an assault and battery upon the
owner of the horse in order to remove the
obstruction.

A ENCOURAGEMENT OF
IA PARSON BROWNLOW'S BOOK

The subscriber is about publishing a mar
rRtiye Of the perils, adventures, and sufferings
of the Rev. W. G. BRoWSLow among the
secessiOnists of Tennessee. The manuscript
Is nearly completed, and will be put to press
forthwith The appearance and Typography
of the work win be of the first class and it
will be fully and handsomely illustrated with
sketches OF the scenes referred to and finely
engraved steel portrait of the auth or.
As to its contents, we have no hesitation
in saying that the public will be startled at
this narrative of facts. 1t viii lay bare the
prosecutions and cruelty which marked the
development OF the secession conspiracy in
Tennessee, the disasters and the ruin with
which it devasted communities once prosper
and sundered families once happy more
than all, it will expose the bad and reckless
ambition, and the relentless bloodthirstiness,
by which the ringleaders of the conspiracy
stimulated to their work of crime and
treason.
The narratiye is one of personal experiences
The author vouches for the accuracy Of its
statements The public may therefore accept
IL as not only a reliable but peculiar chap
ter in the general history of the times and
we are confident that no more significant
startling, instructive memorial of the re-
tellion, in its minute personal and social bear,
ings, is now accessible.
The public are well aware that Mr.. BRowN-
Low is 4 bold speaking man. In this narra-
tive of his suferings, composed mostly while
confined in the jail at Knoxville, he has ut
tered his thoughts in language of eXtraordi
nary force and fearlessnesS. Scathing his ad
verSaries even while in tbeir power,
appealing to his countrymen even from his
cell with the urgency of martyr.
1t Will be published in one volume, 12mo,
fully illustrated, of about &c pages, at 81 .25.

Lancaster TIP. July 80 1860.
MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. l Salamander safe which
l purchased from your agent, Mr. Adam Il.
Barr, in Lancaster City, on july goth, 1858,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which 1t wilhstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting Il value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $50, ,0O0) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju-
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell TO the basement of the Mil, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui,is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within he brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in Il state of perfect preser-
yation, the paper not even being discoIored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. \ ours Respectfully,
EseI3 SAMUEL RANCK.

ity of Fire and Thief Proof Safes always on

There is every prospect that the amount
Of produce 10 be received and shipped
from this port, this season, will be large
beyond former seasons, and when we take
into account the number Of active men
who are absent on military duty, there
is certainly no danger of want of en-

we shall be embarrassed for want of la

Therefore, with all the OWLS Of war
