IN JUSTICE COLwELL's COURT.
A suit brought by d. F. Neikirk
against David Smith for the amount
of note, purpOrting to have been Civ
Ell by the defendanttO Buckle & Daw-
son for the sum of S15, was tried be-
fore Justice Colwell and Jury last
Saturday. ]. S. Smith and A. Way,
Attorneys for Plaintiff and ]. w.
Paine for Defendant.
The defendant admitted giving a
note to Buckle & Dawson, or their
agent, who in the language of Patent
Right men "clubbed the township
for the Patent Right of Horse Rake,
but denies that this was the original
note. Verdict for the plaintiff. From
the decision of the jury we must in-
fer that this is the genuine note,
which, by some hOcus-pOcus is made
a clean, negotiable note, although it
was proven by several witnesses that
the original note had the words "nOt
to be sOld'' endorsed on the back.
Nearly every valuable invention is
very properly patented, but farmers
and others can not be too careful how
they deal with unknown and irres-
ponsible patent right agents, who are
too often nothing but swindlers.
TERPSICHOREAN.
A dance is advertised to come off at
the Town Hall on the evening of the
18th inst, for the benefit of Theodore
Meaisle, a young man who lost leg
while working about threshing ma
chine few years since, and now de
sires TO replace the lost member with
cork one.
The ladies of Republic and vicinity
have issued special invitations for a
ball To be held at BartOw's Hall on
the evening Of the 22d inst. The pro-
ceeds to lie applied 10 pay the balance
due for the new bell. Those who at
tend can have an opportunity to exer'
ciSe their pedal eXtremities and ut the
! same time i'm the first instance con
tribute to a charitable purpose, anC
| i'm the second to public enterprise
As this plan of raising money to pay
for a church bell is causing SOME com
ment, it is but just to the members o
the Presbyterian Church to say thai
about a year and half since the old
bell, after many years of duty was tn
ken down and sometime after a new
one procured. In the meantime th'
church organization became unset
tied and ceasedto hold public services
The members not being very numer
Gus at best, have been somewhat scat
tered, and have failed to raise th'
means to pay for their bell, and it wa:
left i'm the hands of Hon. +. T. Stick
ney. The citizens irrespective Of re
ligious proclivities, for the convent
ence Of having the bell and for the cred
it of the town, have by subscription
entertainments and suppers 50 neaI
raised the required amount that it j.
expected by the enterprise announced
for the 22d to enable them to put il il
its place.
