Trees and Shrubs of Ohio.
BY REV. O. H. WARREN.


tree are like those of the hick-
ory family, compound; leaflets
about fifteen, sometimes mines
teen, they are ovate-lanceolate,
nearly heart.shaped at the base,
underside sub-pubescent, they
contain a very strong aromatic
odor, which is emitted plenti-
fully when bruised. The large
nuts always borne on the ex-
tremity of the young shoots
are round or nearly so, and
covered with a thick husk,
which does not like those of
the hickory, separate into
pieces, but rot away, decaying
quite gradually. The kernel
of the Black Walnut needs no
description; it is of fine flavor,
and highly esteemed by pers
sons generally. The wood of
this common stately forest tree
is of.a deep violet color, with a
white albumen, very heavy
and compact, being, when we'll
seasoned as durable as the tim.
ber OF the White Oak, and less
liable to the attacks of sea-
worms, tits therefore highly es-
teemed in ship-building Tor GER
tain purposes. But its i'm.
mense value appears in cabiS
net work, being extensively
employed throughout the
United States for furniture of
various kinds. AS its wood is
of such a fine rich, dark color,
being beautifully veined in
certain parts and receiving 2.
brilliant polish, it is much
sought after by cabinet makers.
AS an ornamental tree it pos
sesses very strong claims upon
the landscape gardener, as it is
certainly one of the grandest
and most massive trees among
all our noble forest trees.
When fully developed it is not
inferior in the boldness of its
or the amplitude
)f its head to the oak or chest
nut. When standing singly on
'ome deep fertile soil, where it
Usually delights to grow, it
ruly becomes a majestic tree,
clothed with its superb and
leavy masses of rich foliage,
which playfully catch and
,hrow off the broad lights and
hadows in the finest manner;
is lower branches often sweep
ng the very ground In a grace
ul curve, giving it an addition
i beauty and expression. 1t
s admirably adapted to exten'
i've grounds to be ornamented
where room is ample, where it
an attain its full size and fair
proportions. Its rapid growth j
md rich foliage, will ever re~
ommend it for wide public
treets and avenues.

WHITE WALNUT, Butternut.]
[Juglans Cathdrtica.]

[Juglans Cathartica.]
This pretty little tree is not
go generally diffused over the
United States as the Black
Walnut, but is quite abundant
in many localities, especially
in hilly countries. 1t seems to
delight to grow in lands which
are cool, deep, rich loan, being
usually found flourishing on the
north side of some hill, or in
some deep valley. 1t is a much
smaller tree than the Black
Walnut, seldom exceeding fifty
feet in height. The trunk with
the numerous branches are COW
cred with a pretty cincreous
bark. Leaflets, generally elev.
en-, oblong-lanceolate, roundish
at base, softly pubescent be
meath; petioles downy. The
foliage somewhat resembles
that of the Black Walnut, but
the leaves are smaller and mar
rover. The fruit of this species
differs very much from that Of
the Black Walnut, being OBJ
long, oval, leathery, downy and
sticky, the shell of the NUTS
deeply striated. The nuts are
much sought after by many
persons, being oily and very
rich and sweet. At distance
1t greatly resembles the Allan
tus Tree, which has been SO
universally admired for its
oriental appearance in the
pleasure grounds, but it doubt
less excels that tree in many
points. The wood of the
White Walnut is valuable, and
has for some years been en-
ployed to some extent, in the
interior finishing of houses, and
seating churches; dressed nice

Important Lease Suit.
Before judge DAILY.

Roberts rs. Gels ana Ot1sers-This action was
brought by William r. Roberts, Of Fenian noto-
riety against Francis J. Gels and three others IA
committee appointed by the proposed incorporators
Of the Germania Bank) TO recover $4,000, the pur
chase price Of q lease.
1t seems that about the beginning Of January last
the defendants, In pursuit OF place Of business for
their bank called upon Mr.. Roberts, who offered to
lease his premises, No. 252 Bowery, or to sell his
lease for the uneXpred term OF three years and two
months Including IN the sale quantity OF store
fixtures, &c) Tor the sum OF $4,000. The
defendants on second interview on the same
day agreed TO purchase the lease for the consdera
ton OF $4,000, ana contract In writing, dated
January " lse9 wnicn Is now sought 10 De enforced
$4,000 earnest and agreeing to take title and pay
balance, $4,000, on the LIST OF March ensuing. Be
fore the execution OF the contract the lease in ques
ton was handed to the defendant Gels, who read
some OF its provisions to his associates which was
the only knowledge either Of the defendants had OF
It's contents. me lease contained restrictions as TO
the nature Of the business TO be carried in the
premises, embracing the usual occupations included
IN such covenants. Also covenant that in case an
assignment or transfer should be made without the
consent IN writing of the landlord or his legal repre-
Of re-entry and forfeiture at their option. BY the
terms OF the contract the defendants were TO take
tne lease subecs to all therein contained;
possession Of the premises and the lease for the I'M
expired term. Evidence was introduced by the de-
PENDANTS that the paintn expressly assefted his
right to sell the lease and Also that the defendants
could make desired alterations TO hvthe premises
for the business OF q bank, and that no objection
would be made to their occupation for any legit-
mate business On behalf Of the defendants 1t was
shown thai the present landlord notified the defend
ant Gels that he would consent to the transfer
OF the lease to them; that he would eject
them II they entered, and would not consent 10
their making alterations OF any kind. The
question in the case IS whether by the terms OF the
contract the defendants are compelled to take the
paper which they have inspected, subject TO all its
conditions, paying $4,000 therefor, or whether by
by the terms OF The contract the plaintin must first
obtain the landlords consent and do every other act
necessary to vest in the defendants valid lease and
the actual and beneficial possession OF the premises
for the unexpired term. The case Is an exceedingly
nice one. In case the plaintiff succeeds the defeud
ants will be compelled to pay $1,000 for no equiva.

IN the complaint that the Northwestern Bank Of

constituted expressly for the purposes or trade, are

recourse may exist against the defendant person

tion OF the charter recited in the complaint; but

decision hinges. The alternative and subordinate
ground on which, in argument, the plaintiffs coun-
Sci attempted to subsantiate the action, T. e., that
the notice on the bank bill to The effect thal the
property OF the stockholders was liable TO the hold
ers OF said bills" IL clearly untenable In the first
place the notice on the back OF the bills purports,
In terms, to bind only the property Of stockholders
and conveys no intlmaton: OF personal re-
sponsiblity. Indeed, the notice strongly corrobo-
rates that construction Of the charter which ex-
cludes the inference OF q right OF action against
the defendant In the second place the notice eman
ates from the corporation, and the defendant, as
cashier, is not chargeabe with the acts and declara
tions OF his principal. And finally the endorsement
on the bills has reference to the liability created and
defined by the charter OF the bank, OF which the
billholder was presumed cognizant and cannot be
construed as involving anyl greater liability than
Is imposed by the charter or assumed by the terms
of the endorsement. on these grounds the de-
murrer Il sustained and Judgment must DE entered
for the defendant with costs.
