Heavy Verdict against Gen. John A.
Dix for Confinement of q Prisoner
in the Old Fortress.

Daniel D. Bell, resident of the town
of Rochester, Ulster county, was arrested
in 1864 by General John A. Dix, then
commanding the Department of the East,
and was confined in Fort Lafayette for
four months. In 1865 he brought an ac-
tion in the Supreme Court against Gen
eral Dix for damages. The suit has
slept for some time. The attorney for
General Dix endeavored to have the case
removed from the State to the United
States Courts, but failed, and since then
has given the matter no further atten-
tion. An order was recently obtained
directing the Sheriff of Ulster county to
empane jury to assess the damages.
This was done on Monday last, notice
having been given to Mr.. Dix's attorney ,
and the jury awarded Mr.. Bell 81 1000
damages. .-NeW York Herald.

MANY THOUSAND OF THEM HAVE
Nl been tested during the past four years,
and have proved n perfect success, as tnou-
sands of certificates could be produced; but L
deem il unnecessary, as the Pump VIII snow
for itself and prove all Its qualities on eAamin-
alton.
1t is Pump which is ultimately destined to
supercede all other Pumps now in use, for
these simple facts First, the cylinder Is made
OF solid flint glass, and Il undoubtedly VIII last
one hundred years, and still be good as ever.
Second, II will never give any bad taste to the
water. or rust it. Third, il will never wear
out, SO as to put the working part out OF order.
Fourth, the PluDger working IN glass; will
last as long as five in iron or wood. Fifth, the
valves are made of glass. and are so placed that
IL is impossible for them to get out OF order:
Sixth. the conducting Pipe is. manufactured OF
wrought iron. galvanized inside and out,
making IL perfectly free from rust Seventh,
no water stands in the pipe to get warm in
summer or freeze in winter, and requires no
priming to start it. Eighth. il is the best hand
fire engine ever invented. 1t will force the
water from any common well or cistern to the
top of the highest dwelling, at the rate Of
tV enty gallons per minute. Ninth, its whole
construction is so simple and complete that
renders 1t less liable to get out OF order than
cheapest on the continent. When all its quail
tiles are fully understood no one will be with
out it. It will save its cost in insurance, and
many times save valuable property.
Having established a factory in the city Of
Memphis, Tenn. for the mar ufacture of these
Pumps, we are now prepared to furnish them,

(the senior EDITOR will state that the
views expressed in the first part of

what has been done was a toregone

unwilling to support the Dent party
then, to be consistent, we should be
equally unwilling to do so now, and

cling to it. The crowded state Of
