A decision which viii be Of interest TO
IN parties who have anything TO do with
thefhankrupt5y act, yDyoly Ing, as c does,
the right OF the Bankruptcy Court to stay
proceedings in a State Court, was made
In the United States Circuit Cont Of New
Tork city, ludge SelsgH presiding,
last week. The bankrupt IN this
case was the Kerosene Oil Compa-
ny Of New York, which was adj
judged bankrupt a year ago. The
Guaranty and Indemnity Company Of
that city held a mortgage upon the real
estate Of the bankrupt for 100000, and la
lctcLel, 800, tley commenced q suit in
the supreme Court to foreclose it. The
assignee in bankruptcy desired to contest
the validity of this mortgage. The as
signee, therefore, applied to the Bank
ruptcy Court, on a petition setting forth
the facts, for an order directing the Guar
ATTY and Indemnity Company to stop pro
ceedings in their suit in the state Court.
They, on the other hand, claimed that the
bankruptcy Court had no jurisdiction tp
staY proceedings la a State Court, appeal
ing to the provisions in the judiciary act,
which expressly forbids the issuing Of an
injunction for hat purpose. The District
Court considered that jurisdiction was
given to st by the bankruptcy act, and
made the order for a stay Of proceeding
4he Guaranty and Indemnity Company
then applied to the Circuit Court to re-
view and reverse this order, and it is the
decision Of Judge Nelson IN that applica-
ton to which reference is made. The de
cision Of the District C0uft is sustained
on this question Of jurisdiction, bus y
modified on a question Of practice. The
question is one Of Importance and inter
est. II is one which occasioned a serious
contest under the former bankruptcy act,
and which must in some way be carried
to the Supreme Court for decision under
the present bankruptcy act, as it was un-
der the former one.

HOG CHoLERA.-J. J. ID. ScOles,
Esq, Mvors us with the following pre-
ventive and remedy for Hog Cholera,
which he has used for some two years
with success, and which his brother
in-law, an extensive hog-raiser In
Missouri, has also tried and proven
fully:-As preventive, n tablespoon
full Of saltpetre to 20 hogs every other
day, dissolved in hot water and put in
swill; give whenever there seems to
be any danger Of the disease, or occa-
any way. AS a remedy, Mr..
Scoles has sometimes given as much
as a Tablespoonful of the saltpetre to
n single hog, in Il very severe case; and
less when less would be sufficient.
He does not believe, however, that Il
very bad case Of the disease can be
cured; but the saltpetrc is the surest
preventive and remedy he knows of.

MORE OF THE MONsTER.-Mr. John
LETTERS, of Attica, writes us that some
20 years ago Mr.. Nelson Hill found a
mammoth rib bone in the bed Of North
Cedar creek, this County, at a point
about half mile below where the big
jaw-bOne was found, as mentioned in
this paper few weeks ago. Mr.. Hill
thinks the bone he found must have
been one Of the short ribs. A part of
it had been broken off; and the re-
mainder, as found, was three feet long,
and six inches in diameter at the end
Which had joined the backbone. At
q little distance from this end the bone
became flat, and was some six inches
across; and instead Of being curved
like the rib of an OK or horse, it was
curved edgewise, and seemed to have
been set in the animal with it's edges
in and out. This seems TO US to in
dictate that the animal was built to
resist great pressure against the body,
as if living in great depth of water,
perhaps.] Mr.. LETTERS thinks that, as
the two bones were found so near to-
gether, the animal must have lived
and died in that region. Can anyone
tell us what became Of the bone found
by Mr. Hill? Has it been lost?
| Now, why wouldn t it be good idea
for crowd of men and boys to go
prospecting" in the creek in that vi
entity, at low water sometime, and try
to find the rest of the insect? IT would
be fun at least, even if the search were
unsuccessful; and any further remains
of this primeval monster, If discov-
cred, would possess great scientific
interest. 14.g

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT RAPE.--On
Friday last, as we are informed, some
man, stranger, travelling on horse
back through Dallas Township toward
Pleasantville, stopped at the residence
Of respectable married woman in
Dallas Township, and taking advan-
tage of her husbands absence, made II
brutal assault on her, with evident in
tent to commit rape-striking her
twice in the attempt. Failing to ac-
complish his fiendish design, he left.
Three of the neighbors afterward start
ed out in pursuit of him; and her hus-
band also set out, armed with n gun.
We have not yet obtained further par
ticulars. Did hear, tOo--but can hard
ly credit it--that the three men actu-
ally overlook the guilty wretch, and
talked with him, but did not arrest
him for want of a writ! If that's the
case, they either must have had great
doubts about the matter or else they're
very different from most men in these
parts.

SIGNS ABOUT THE WINTER.--The
present Winter will be very severe
one, because the moon on the 9th Of
the month wasn't full in the last

The Winter will be very mild, be-
cause the ground-hog's hide is thicker
than usual.
We shall have a very cold Winter
this year, because the wind blew from
the southwest on the second Friday of
October. This seldom fails.
The Winter this year will be the
mildest we have had for many years;
as the squirreIsthisyear all build their
nests high up from the ground.
Make ready for very cold winter.
The husks OF the corn this year are
quite thick, as usual. This sign don't
often fail. aa
This Winter will be very mild and
open, because the girls sit up late
because my grandmother lost her
spectacles because sorghum molasses

In fact, there are plenty Of ''signs,''
