An appeal case from the Probate
Court arising upon exceptions to the

'TheCsCourt. of Common Pleas of
TrumbulT County, adjourned on the
9th ult. Among the decisions report
ed in the Chronicle, we find the fol-
lowing which will be of interest to a
portion of our readers:
The case of the Penn. & Ohio Canal
Co. VS.: Henry Wood attracted some
attention, as it involved questions af-
fecting many persons along the Canal.
The suit was brought to restrain the
defendant from removing stone re-
naming upon land formerly occupied
by the CANAL, but which reverted to
the defendant upon the abandonment
by the company of the canal, and a
temporary injunction was granted
The plaintiff sought upon trial to
have the injunction made perpetual.
The case was argued exhaustively and
with ability, by Messrs. Taylor &
Jones for the plaintiff and by Mr..
Beaver and M. Sutliff for the defend
ant. The court held in substance that
the defendant had lien in some sort
upon the stone for the filling up of the
canal, and restoring the land to it's
former condition, refused to make the
injunction perpetual, and dismissed
the petition. - h. =, .-.4

OF them having called upon the other jnst

and who seemed to be enjoying the fru-
gal repast very pleasantly. The visitor
drew up to the stove. looking very wish
fully towards the table, expecting the
old farmer 10 invite him 10 dine, but he
kept on eating, when presently he broke
out with
"What's the news up your way, neigh

"no news. eh2"
"No, I believe not" replied the visit
or; presently thinking of some news, he
replied, Well, yes, friend, did hear
of an item of news that's worth mention

"Neighbor John has COW that has

dinner.

Handwriting PecuIiarities.

It is remarkable fact that no man
can ever get rid of the style of hand
writing peculiar to his country. Ifhe
be English, he always writes in English
style; if French, in French style; IL
German, Italian, or Spanish, in the style
peculiar to his nation. Professor B.
states: "I am acquainted with aFrench-
man who has passed all his life in Eng
land, who speaks English like one Of
our own couutrymen, and writes it with
ten times the correctness of ninety-nine
in hundred Of us; but yet who cannot,
for the life of him, initiate our mode OF
writing. knew Scotch youth, who
was educated entirely in France, and re-
sided eighteen years in that country,
mixed exclusively with French people,
but who, although he had French
wriiingmaster, and perhaps never saw
anything but French writing in his life,
yet wrote exactly in the English style;
IL was really national instinct. In Paris,
all the writing masters profess to teach
the English style of writing, but viii all
their professions, and all theirexertion>,
they can never get their pupils to adopt
any but the cramped hand of the French.
The difference between the American or
English and the French handwriting is
immense-a schoolboy would distiny

sI cannot write You after reach Eu-
rope, much as would like to, circum-
stances will not permit"
Again and again were those words
read by Eata, but they brought no tears
to her eyes. only scorn TO her heart. Why
did Casader come to that decision? Why
did Eata refuse to answer her letter.
"If she can give me up so easily, with
such seeming indifference then will 1
try to do the same. My father, I love
her can L can I give her upf Oh held
me ia the mastery of self, that even as
she has cast her love for me aside, 1
may do the same by NINE"
A few efforts and then followed these
words:
~ am weak, cannot cannot do it'll I
loved her too we'll, love her now, /
shall always love her."
A paroxism of grief and she was her
cold self again. Ever passing around
the house with song upon her lips or
repeating piece of poetry, which was
but the echo of lonely heart. Her
Sweetest songs were those which told
of saddest thoughts, her sincerest laugh
ter with secret pain was fraught."
When she was was certain no one
would hear her she talked aloud in
doleful language; the tears which sprang
to her eyes she would rudely brush
away and then laugh in derision. Alone
she liked to be rather than in society,"
But society urged its claims and she
must give up solitude and don mask OF
smiles. A woman mourn for woman !;
she must have been very different from
most women, for according to popular
idea she has very little time that is not
devoted to dress. say such love is
seldom found, seldom formed. Some
one whispers "'tis very common" but
1 don't believe them. Three months
passed, then four and the fifth had near
ly gone before Eata thought of wri ting
to Casader. Her lonely moments had
not decreased and her prayers for the
loved one assembled not less often during
those months. But how could she di-
rect? Casader sailed for Europe months
before (seeming more like years. wheth-
er she arrived OH a foreign shore, she
did not know. "Oh is her body food

When speaking of the future they
were sad, for they seemed to feel that
the kind Providence who permitted
them to meet, would bring them togeth-
or in love. Casader did not forget to love
Flora; no, the weaker love seemed to
strengthen the stronger. She loved
Eata's soul, for there was some things
about her she could never love. Flora,
in Casader's estimation, was perfect; not
word did she utter that was not listen
ed to with interest. Not an act perform
ed that was not considered lady-liSo and
wonderful; everything undertaken was
accomplished. The world did not con-
tain another creature so near perfection
as Flora, or one that was loved more
dearly. What difference between the
two lovers.
"Eata, want to go to Europe with
uncle McLaid and my cousins"
"Oh, Casader, cannot think of your
going, for my heart says we shall be
parted for years-yes, forever in this
world. if you do. Our love will be sac
rificed, and you are the only one ever
loved. Must give you up?"
The tears We're in her eyes, but she
hastily brushed them. away and turned
towards the window in order to hide all
truant ones from Casader. She tried to
make people believe she was hard-heart-
ed, never manifesting any feeling in So
ciety, or ever expressing by look, her
sympathy. Weep before people2 No
indeed; to do that she was ashamed.
Eata, do you love me? Am I the
only one you ever cared particularly
FOR? Would you really care, if our part
ing was for all timer"
She walked towards the window,
placed her hand upon Eata's arm, let il
rest there a second, then allowed it to
steal around her waist.
Eata, you never tell me that you
love me, and my heart asks continually
for the knowledge in words. 1 want you
to say so very often, for feel so unwor-

Does the child forget its mother? Does

Dear Eata, l thank you; ask God
to bless you for your bestowal of love

thing?"
Certainly, if IL is possible for me to

"If the time ever comes when you
