LEGAL DECISION CONCERNING LADIES
CLoTHING.-Married gentlemen are
probably not aware that they are the
owners, in the eye of the law, of the
clothing supposed to belong to their
wives. Such is the purport of decis-
ion rendered by the court OF appeals
of Virginia, on Friday last. The par
ticulars are thus reported in the Rich
mond Times: "About a year since
woman, named Mary E. Hughes, stole
a lot of wearing apparel belonging to
married lady of Middlesex county,
The woman was arrested, and, alter
examination in the lowe court carried
before the Circuit Court of said county.
The counsel of this woman demanded
her discharge on this ground: That,
as she was charged with stealing
clothing belonging to Mrs, in
was illegal. as no married woman own
edsher clothing, it being the property
of her husband. The court refused
to discharge the accused, but found
her guilty, and sentenced her to inn
prisonment for larceny thus deciding
that married woman does own her
clothing. An appeal was taken, and
the case brought before the Court OF
Appeals Itwas argued last term, and
on Yesterday the decision was given
that the Judgment Of the lower court
should be reversed, thus showing that,
IN the opinion of this court, the hus-
band owns his wife's clothing. -"

HEINITSH'S CELEBRATED
GERMAN HORSE POWDER !
For all Diseases TO which Horse is Liable.

F1\HE various diseases to which that no.
Il bic and useful anirlal, the horse, is
subject, and the little knowledge that is
known of them by farriers and ignorant
ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to
be offered TO the public under different
forms, with high encomiums, and sane
toned by dignified names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, of little use.
and many entirely worthless, and do not
meet the want. A good medicine. free
from objections of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
luable horses. We therefore offer the only
good mcdicine-the true "GERMAN
HORSE POWDER" which las proved 80
efiicacious in all the diseases. 1t is pre-
pared from the original recipe of DR.. Hei-
nltsh, OF Germany. Its extraordinary vir-
tues are attested to by thousands, and for
nifty years has stood, and still stands, first
III the estimation of all experienced farm
ers and agriculturists as the best medicine
for the horse. 1t is recommended for
horses foundercd by eating to excess or
drinking cold water when heated, to sucl.
as have symptoms of glanders or are ex-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for Indigestion, distomper, hide
bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore
eyes, swelled legs, grease, mango, surfeit,
old coughs, for exhaustion from work. 1t
carries off all foul hunors, purifies and
cools the blood, and prevents horses be-
coming stiff and foundered. 1t is stimu-
limbs and skin soft and fine, giving
smooth coat to the hair. Ask for "Hei-

RELIGIOUS FANATIcIsM.- One of the
most disgraceful exhibitions of reli-
gious fanaticism is the persecution Of
the jews in the new State Of Rou-
mania, instigated by ministry whose
members heretofore laid claim to the
name OF Liberals. The Governments
of France and England acted nobly
in promptly and energetically inter
fering in behalf of the prosecuted
Jews. 1t is announced that the Hun
garian Government is considering
measures for the emancipation of the
Jews OF that country.
