EH-The heavy rains with which
our town has been visited have not
been confined to this section. Storms
have been of frequent occurrence all
over this ard the adjoining States,
and the Iain has extended from
North to South. We read of its
damaging effects as far North as New
York, and the country around this
place is very wet, the creeks and
rivers are swollen, and the railroad
connections have been somewhat i'm
peded. However, we hope that little
material damage has been done. and
that our farmers will now be able
to pursue their plans without further
serious Interruption.

PC. for low middling, and 2Sc. for
middling. the diScouaging accounts
from Liverpool, for the past tews
days, have prevented buyers from OF
Grating extensively, unless at prices
below the views of factors. The sales
in Liverpool to day were 10000 bales
at l18d. for middling uplands; and
12Id. for middling Orleans, which is
Cd. lower than some ten or fifteen
days ago.
The stock on sale does not exceed
5000 to 50,0G0 bales and the pre-
bable receipts for the balance of the
season are estimated at 30. zoo to 49,

important Banking Decisions.

Several important decisions of great
interest to the public have recently been
made, which we abridge as follows:
The payee Of a check for more than
the depositor's actual balance in bank
can lay no claim to the actual balance.
An action in Massachusetts upon a
note made and payable in New York,
without any special interest agreement,
can recover only the legal rates Of in
terest in Massachusetts, though less
than the legal rate in New York.
A note dated on Sunday, made and
delivered on a secular day, is not void
on account of prohibiting work or labor
on the Lords day.
Innocent omission of revenue stamps
may be remedied in suits by subsequent
stamping in presence of Court. limo
cent omission does not render paper in
valid or inadmissible in evidence.

. A curious scene lately occurred in the
Shanghai IChina mixed courts. A dis
solute prodigal, having a chain around
his neck, to which his hands were fast,
was brought up by his father. The
parent, very respectable looking man
declared he could make nothing of the
prisoner. He tried all means to cure
him of his propensity for smoking opium
but without effect. If he gave him
money, it went in opium, clothes were
Mt once pawned to satisfy his cravings.
Latterly he had been chained up in the
house, to see what effect that would have
but his appearance on that occasion was
because he had broken out and been
picked up by the police. In fact, the
father declared that he would be glad if
the court would take him in hand and
give him severe punishment. TheJudge
advised him to give his son another trial
and added that after one punishm ent, he
was still incorrig Chinese law would
permit decapitation on the consent of
the father. diga5l5a bGs
