Of the officers Of employees Of the
road and IN charge ofany particular
train running at iIat time, whether
\ was done IN the night d, day.
The Jury, II seems, drew anInferenec
from the appearance Of the dead
body Of the animal, and The marks
on tho tracks Of the road, that the
death ofthe Jack was caused by the
carele@ness and negligence Of tho
employees Of said company, and
upon that presumption, found their
verdict Tor the defendant In error.
We consider the testimony wholly
insufficient to support the verdict /;
IT should have been demurred to by
the plaintiff In error, at the trial.
The verdict Is contrary to the In
struction Of the court given for the
plaintiff in error, which announced
the law correctly. Mississippi
Central Rail Road Company vs..
Miller, 40 Miss, P. As.
The question at issue was whether
the death of the Jack was the result
of carelessnessor or negligence on the
part ofthe plaintiff in error, and this
had to be established in the Ian
guage of the instruction, before the
jury could find q verdict for the
defendant in error. The proof neg
itived any such facts. The verdic'
was manifestly wrong, and contrar,
to the law and the evidence, ant
the court should have seti aside 70
the first ground assigned in tn
motion for q new trial.
Let the judgement be reversed
the verdict set aside, and q new
trial awarded.

lFrom The Little Chief
The Number Nine.

The number nine possesses some
remarkable properties. If the nine
digits, I, 2,S46,6zS9, Be added
together, the sum will b ~ which
is equal to 5 times Q, and the sum Of
the digits Of their surn, 4 and ., d
Q. If any sum is subtracted from
another having the same digits in q
different order, the remainder win
be divisible by nine and the sum Of
!hss lie digits Of the remainder will also
be divisible by 8.
subtracting 9,ee7,sS4 from 1894
429, there remains 4,4l6,795, which
is equal to 0 times 49o,o55, the sum
of the digits, 4, 4, !, 6, z, 0, 8, is 36,
which Is divisiblc by 8.
If any number be multiplied by 81
the sum Of the digits, or figures, Of
the product win be divisible by o.
Nine times AZ, ,7S0, 1856 is 1894, ,O21, ,215;
the sum Of the digits Of this product
is 27, a multiple of Q. The solution
of a number Of interesting arith-
metical puzzles depend upon the
above properties of Q.
If a number be subtracted from
another having the same digits in O

be found in the following manner
Add together the figures Of the re-

diainguished literary lady, Mn.

% learned Judge Of New Haven,
on tho eve ofhis marriage;
DEAR Cousin = Herewith you
will receive a present Of . pair Of
woolen stockings, knit by my own
hands and bs assured, dear coz,
that my friendship for you is a.
warm A. the meterial, active ~ the
fnger-work, and generous a. the
donation. DutIconsidcr this present
as peculiarly appropriate on the oc-
casion Of your marriage. You will
remark IN the first place that there |
are two individuals united into one |
pair, whc are TO walk side by side,
guarding against coldncss, and CIV
ing comfort 40 long as they last.
The thread oftheir texture Is mixed,
and so, alas Is the thread Of life.
In these, however, the whitcismade
to predominatc, expressing my
desire and confidence that thus II
will be with the color Of your OK
istcnccN No black 10 used, for /
believe yourlivos will DO wholly free
from the black passions Of wrath
and jealousy. The darkest color
here is blue, which is excellent when
we do not make It too blue. Other
appropriate thoughts arise In my
mind regarding these stockings.
The most Indifferent subjects,
when viewedby the mind in nasuitable
frame may furnish instructive infer
ences, as saith the poet;
aThe Iron dogs, the fuel and souss,
The bellows that have leathern lungsi
Tho Grswood, sshes and the smoke,
Do all 70 rIghtsousucs provoke"
But to the subject, You will per-
ceivc that tho tops Of the stockings
(by which I suppose courtship to b
rcprcsented are scanned, and By
means Of scanning are drawn into Q

continue 80 to the end, and &nal
toeing Of. BY this ! wishto take
occasion to congratulate yourself
that you are now through with
seeming, and have coineto plain rcali-
Ity.
Again, as the whole Of these
comely stockings was not made at
once, but by the addition Of one
little stitch afteranother, put In with
skin and discretion, until the whole
presents the fair and equal piece Of
work which you see, 90 life does not
consist ofo great action, but mil
lions Of little ones combined; and
50 may It be with your lives.
No stitch dropped when dutiessre to

Thls u an action Of trcspass
against the plaintiifin error, institu-
ted In the lst District Court Of Kinds

L Il alleged IN the declaration
that che defendant IN error, wss the
owner Of q aJack Asa and that
the plaintiff In error, ''through their
agents and employed, whose names
are unknown to plaintiff, and while
running tho cars Of said company
on the Rail Road track of the
company, and engaged In the
business and employment Of said
defendant, did, nthe 10th day OF
juno, 1861, negligently, and care
lessly, and without necessity, run
the engine Of the said company and
cars against and upon said Jack Ass,
and did then and there kill and
destroy the same, whereby and on
account Of the said trespass, the
plaintiff has been damaged In the
sum Of one thousand dollars"
To thisdcclaration the plaintiff in
error, fled the plea not guilty, and
upon this issue there was q Juryand
verdict for the defendant in error
for the sum Of five hundred dollars,
and judgement thereupon.
A motion was made for a new
trial, which was overruled by the
court, and the case is brought here
to reverse this judgement.

suited in every Democrat voting
against its repeal, and every Republi
can IN favor.
Here the Democratic Legislature
once more re- inderSed its action on the
passage of the Visible Admixture
bill, with all its iniamy and vileness,
and at the same time, as a party,
refused to recognize the authority Of
the Supreme Court by repudiating
its decisions. When a Democratic
Judge decides that the "Negro has
no rights which . white man is bound
to respect" thea the Democracy say
we must obey the judgment of the
Court. When Q Supreme Court says
the colored citizen of Ohio shall not
be deprived Of his constitutional
rights, then the entire Democratic
party, in the person Of its chosen
representatives., votes to disregard or
rcpudiate the decision.
This same Democracy ask resto-
ration to power, that they may furth-
er insult and wrong the people of
Ohio.

The German correspondent of one
of the New York papers writes that
the rinderpest has again broke out
among the cattle. 1t is well for our
government to be ON the alert to
secure a timely protection by a
prompt enforcement Of our nom
importation law:
"The rinderpest has broken out in
some neighborhoods of the district
of Zloscow, in Galicia. Although
the infected district is IA hundred and
fifty miles distant from the Prussian
borders, measures have been taken
by Prussia to prevent the importation
of the disease, as the Zloscow distinct
is traversed by a line of railroad
which transports an immense number
of cattle from other districts of Ga
licia and from Prussia,
"The Zeitschrift fur Rreussen, in
speaking of the subject, says the
disease, In its deyastations, is traced
back fourteen hundred years; it was
the regular companion of great
armies in their campaigns, and went
with them in all countries. In the
