Mari VS.. Rowland ct al Opinion by
Dixon, @. j,
The defense in foreclosure was, that the
mortgage debt was for purchase money OF
the premises; that plaintiff was assignee
after maturity of the debt; and that the
vendor had no title 1t appearing that
plaintiff purchased the mortgage at the re-
quest OF the mortgagor and upon his repre-
sent Jon that it was valid and sufficient
security for the debt, it was error to restrain
the prosecution Of the action, on defendants
motion, until plaintiff should bring in as
parties other persons appearing to have title
to the lane, or take steps to perfect the title
in defendant.
LANCE VS.. Kennedy. Opinion by Down

giving to party who has notice Of such
dissolution note in the firm name either
in renewal of a partnership note, or for a
balance of account against such firm in ia
vor of the payee of such note.

Mr.. Petit was born in Pulaski, Oswego Co.

with his fathers family some sxteen seven

citizens young man of most genial and

to decided literary taste, he bad talent for
sketching and drawing that ever a source of
pleasure and amusement to his friends. His dis
position ever led him to look upoA the bright
side of men and tt ngs, and a pleasant sarcasm
and pungent wit char acteEized most of the pro-
ductions of his pen and pencil.
Soon after arriving at his majority, Mr.. Petit

Every one knows that the mechanism of the best
manufactures of this country is unequalled in any
other part of the world. The genius OF American
mechanics produced the cotton gin, the mechanical
reaper and mower the sewing machine, and last but
not least the wonderful machinery of the American
Watch Company ofWaltham. This Company was
established in 1850, and has grown IN proportions
which entite it to first rank among the manufac-
turing enterprises of the New World. 1t employs
between 800 and 1000 artizans of superior skill and
character and large thriving town has grown up in
its vicinity The factory over three acres OF
ground, and as an illustration Of it's extent we men,
ton that it is supplied with more than 20 miles OF
iron pipes and produces aggregate of nearly TO-
900 watches per annum The founders of this COM
pany believed that the delicate mechancalpro-
cesses which had produced such remarkably perfect
results in larger machines, might be applied with
even greater advantage to the production of the
watch. The foreign time pieces made principal

the result. Abroad, these mysterious and infinite
sinai organs which, when aggregated, produce the
processes. In the results there must of course be

Fire ION Thursday afternoon of last week
the alarm of fire was given, which was discov-
cred to be in the fremont House, on Market ST.
occupied by Casper Meyer. The fire companies
were on hand, and the fire was extingusb-
ed before any material damage was done to the
building.
We learn that the fire wac oceasioned by the
explosion of can of commercial oil which Mr..
Meyer had just received by express, and was in
the act of opening when the explosion took
place. Mr.. Meyer burned in a horrible
manner, so also was his son, child of some 7
or years of age. The lives of both father and
child were dispaired of though we learn that
both are still alive and hopes are entertained Of
lheir final recovery.

TERRIBLE FIRE.

Oshkosh, May 18th.
This morning about half past one o'clock
a fire broke out iii the store owned by r. L..
Harding, and rapidly spread until all the
buildings on the west side of Ferry Street
between High and Algoma Streets were in
flames The fire then crossed Ferry Street
and destroyed all the buildings above the
fourth Store from Waugoo Street 1t then
crossed Washington Street, and burned the
whole block between Ferry and Washington
Streets and Jefferson Avenue including
Washington and Schneider's Halls, the
Post Office, and Evans New block About
30 buildings were destroyed, all of which
were occupied, and as full as they could be.
The loss cannot fall short Of 100, 900 dollars,
it is probable much more, bet at this early
hour it is impossible to get any figures.
Nearly all goods were removed from the
buildings, some of which were burned in
the Streets. No lives were lost.
