James Fcller, Plaintiff in Error,

Charles w. Bishop and wife, Def7ts in Error
q. --i. SYLLABUS.
Upon writ OF error from a Judgment rem
dered upon the report of a referee where no
exceptions are taken upon the trial. or to the
finding, and the evidence is not reported, the
only question which this court can consider is,
whether the facts found sustain the conclusions
of law. rg
The defendant, Bishop, transferred to his wife
certain promissory notes owned by him, in
consideration of $500 in money received from
her, of her own separate and individual prop
erty, and soon afterwards applied for a dis
charge from his debts under the insolvent act.
Hetd, That such transfer was not conclusive
evidence of u fraudulent intent ON the part of
the husband, even though he was nsolvent at
the time, and the referee having found that
the transfer was made in good faith, and not
with the intent to cover up the property of de-
fendant or to defraud his creditors, the .udg-
ment of the referee in favor of defendants will
not be disturbed.

MADISON, July l0.-Governor Solomon
publishes in Saturdays Journal the reply
of the Provost Marshal General to his let
ter concerning volunteering in New Jersey
Volunteering is said to be allowed there
because the preparations for the draft are
not completed; hence the same privilege
is allowed in Wisconsin till the draft is or
dered, and all volunteers for old regiment >,
or for heavy artillery, will he credited on
the quotas of towns.
The Provost Marshal General also ex-
plains in a letter. which the Governor pub
fishes, the manner of giving credit for
volunteers heretofore enlisted.
By this it seems necessary tor each town
claiming a surplus over former quotas, to
prepare lists Of names of enlisted men to
be presented to the Provost Marshal, and
compared with the muster rolls at Wash
ington.
The Governor advises the preparation
OF such lists as soon as possible.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

VIOLENT THUNDER SToRM.-We were
visited Friday night, by the most violent storm
that has occurred in this vicinity for some years
mast. 1t commenced about ten o'clock-just
about the time of the breaking up of the Floral
Concert. The thunder was truly awful, and
the flashes of lightning succeeded each other
with such rapidity that there seemed to be no
break in their continuity. The rain poured
down in torrents, and some of the audience
in fact the most of them--gOt drenched to the
skin on their way home. The storm came up
from southwest direction; and between thun-
der. lightning and wind, for considerable
snace of time, ragged with great fury. One
lady. Mrs Colgrave, on her way home from the
concert when near the International Hotel,
received shock from the lightning which
prostrated her. She was carried into the In
ternatiopal. where she remained insensible for
some time but restoratives being administered,
recovered, and it was found that she had re-
ceiyed no injury whatever, beyond the shock.
Young man, going up Wabashaw street, re-
eieved a similar shock which threw him down
and stunned him for some time, but inflicted
no other injury.
The Catholic Church was the only building
in the city which suffered any material damage
so far as we have learned. The southwest
wing, which has been recently erected, and
which W rs completed except the window,
which had not been put in, was entirely un-
rooted, and the fragments scattered in all dl-
f,,., Of nY1ndrr1 Yards
and portions of the roof of the main building
torn away with it. The roof was lifted OFT by
the sheer force of the wind entering through
the open window The damage will probably
exceed $500.
In this vicinity the principal force OF the
storm seems to have been expended on the
other side OF the river, where it ragged ike a
perfect tornado. From some distance below
Mendoza, for 4 space of forty or fifty rods in
breadth, and three or four miles in length, cV-
erything was observation-disclosures, barns, len
ces, haystacks. corn in stocks and standing-ln
fact everything that opposed the fury OF me
gale. We have been able to ascertain ths
names of but few of the sufferers anc
amongst them are Mr.. Sweeney, who had
large barn completely destroyed, Mr.. JONI
Fitzgerald, who resides near the Ferry in Yves
st. Paul had his barn blown down, and large
quantity of hay therein scattered, besides
