The Stevenson Gotten Case.

The New York Herald of the 18th gives
the following version of the most recent
phase of the V. X. Stevenson law suit in
that city;
In the case Of the United States vs.. Yer
non X. Stevenson, it will be remembered
that owing to an informally in the CON-
plant in this case setting forth specific
dates at which the property seized by the
government was alleged TO have been con-
verted by the defendant, Judge Blatchford,
at the trial of the case, directed the jury TO
find for the defendant. An appeal was
then made by the defendants counsel TO
vacate the attachment against the property,
which consists Of large number of Park
lots, pending an appeal on the part of the
District Attorney. Judge Blatchford at
the time deferred his decision il the mat.
ter, but this morning denied the motion.
The government accordingly still holds
the property.

stockholders of the issue Of this Bank seem
to be very sanguine as to the result, con-
fdently believing that the decision viii be
in favor Of the note holders, thus bringing
the issues Of the bank up 10 par. IL is also
argued that the new Issue, or that which
was pat in circulation in 1861, will be re-
garded in the same category as that of the
old issue, or in other words, IL the Supreme
Court decides in favor of the note holders,
the decision will embrace also the 1851
issue. This new issue is selling now fol-
only six or seven cents on the dollar, the
next thing to being worthless. In the
event that there is probability Of thes'
notes being placed on par with the ole
issue, and the decision is rendered favor
ably, an advance in Tennessee bank note
would be the result, and such deman'
would spring up as 10 cause our brokers f

on the morning of the Sth February, CHARLES
FREDERICK WATSON, son of Matthew and Re
becca Watson, of Nashville, Tennessee, aged
twenty-three years.
In delicate health for many years, he sought,
with a hOpefal heart, the climate and sunny
land he loved most-his devoted parents sur
rounded him with every comfort which ther
hearts could dictate and all thst skill and love
could do united to keep him here. Alas in
Heavens High Court his name was betrothed 4;
and the spirits Of the blessed bore him away so
suddenly. yet so gently, that our hearts are
bowed with sorrow. and though we know that
his soaI is free from care and his frail body, so
long sufferer, can weary him no longer, yet We
miss our dear CHARLEY from our side, and none
can take his place.
Peace to his pure young hcaIti Peace to his
mothers sorrowfal soul. his fathers grief |
Peace to those who loved and cherished him,
and who shall see his dear face no more

woxDERs OF THE TELEGRAPH.

A knayish Chinaman in California
("Hong-Kee,") having contracted the
barbarian vice Of swindIing, has been
cheating sundry merchants in San Franz
cisco out Of SIS, 900 and getting on board
the Pacific Mail steamship, fleeing to the
Central Flowery Kingdom. In this way
he hoped to put between himself and
those whom he had robbed, some
10000 miles of ocean, but telegram
from San Francisco bears the tidings OF
his crime to New York New York
sends it by cable across the Atlantic to
London, London through France and unN
der the Mediterranean to Alexandria,
Alexandria by the Red Sea and the Per-
sian Gulf to Bombay, Bombay to Ceylon,
and Ceylon by the Peninsula and 0rien-
tai steamers to China. So that when
Hong Kee trips lightly down the ships
gong-way at Hong-KOng or Shanghai
dreaming of much opium and many-eyed
daughters of the Sun in the Land Of
Flowers, his placid soul will be disconr
eerted by the tap of bamboo on the
shoulder and voice of doom will MUIR
muir an ungentle summons in his ear.

TREATMENT OF eATARRH.

Our method of treatment for the cure o.
Catarrh embraces the thorough topical
medication of the affected regions BY d
most ingenious and painless process, by
which every part of the diseased mucous
membrane can be effectively subjected to
the most perfect and complete remedial
control.
No: only are we enabled to bring any
desired medical solution to act directly
upon the very seat Of the disease, our
process also allows the remedy employed,
to be kept in contact with the affected
surface sufficiently long to exercise ilB full
curative powers.
The striking advantage Of our plan Of
medication exhibit themselves in the
prompt and immediate benefit which fol-
lows treatment. Frequently, after the very
first application the fetor of the puruient
secretion is removed, the breath is mate
rally purified, and sensible relief from
other neutrality-suspicious. is experienced
By degrees the discharge diminishes, ir-
ritation is allayed, chronic inflammation is
subdued, alterations are made TO heal, I'M
ill finally we succeed in re-establishipg a
perfectly healthy surface and normal
condition of the parts affected.

from Leavenworth, Ind, on Tuesday
morning last. About a month since Mr.
Ostrander found Jones in the city of New

Through motives Of humanity, Mr.
Ostrander brought him up to his farm
where he thought he might be fully reca,

Of his death, that it was the effect Of poison
taken into his stomach while in New
