ba- KNoDE VS.. WILLIAMsoN.-The
well known case Of knode vs. William
son, OF which we mentioned in our last
issue, tried in the United States District
Court at Wheeling, last week, resulted
in verdict for Williamson. The case
was tried once in the Circuit Court of
Berkeley county, and verdict found
for Knode, which, on motion, was set
aside, and a new trial granted. Pay
was claimed by Knode for the destruc-
ton of canal boat during the war.
We learn that an effort will be made
by Knode's counsel to get new trial
at the Circuit Court of Berkeley again,
and if not granted the case will be taken
to the Court of Appeals of West Va
Messrs Stanton d Allison are counsel
for Knode, and Messrs. Faulkner, Wheat

TING and CLEANSING FEATHERS, Eve
ry physician is acquainted with the tact
that one Of the chief causes OF disease,
arises from sleeping upon feather Deas'
which have been in use for long time
without being cleansed. This machine
will remove foulness, and impurities OF
every description, from feather beds and
hair mattresses, also moths and insects.
1t is just the thing needed to render
feathers of every description, old or
new, fit for sleeping purposes The
feathers are cleansed by steam very
thoroughly, and then dried by hot air.
The faculties of the Proprietor of the
machine are such that he can take and
return beds the same day, thoroughly
renovated and ready for use, and his
terms are, if the work is not done in the
most satisfactory manner he will make
no charge.
He has made arrangements by which
he can call at the houses for the feathers
and return them without an additional
charge.
Mr.. J. P. a. Entler, of the Hotel, and
others, have had their feathers renova-
ted, and they express themselves as be
ing highly pleased with their bargains

WHERE THE MONEY GOES
The Southern States furnish
three-quarters of the exports OF
the United States, and the North.
ern States one-fourth. This the
South has done ever since the
war.
A large per centage of the
Southern crop goes to pay West
ern farmers, for thy large amount
OF provisions and mules sent down
the Mississippi. Another large per
centage goes to Northern manu-
facturers of carts, plows, steam
engines, cotton fabrics, and al
most every other article needed
in country or city. The balance
goes to New York merchants,
bankers and money lenders.

went out to drink beer during the

he would have spent if he had
gone ont to drink. He kept to
this resolution for five years. He
then examined his bank account
and found that he had on deposit

not lost day from ill-health.-

The negroes have been free
for nearly six years, and yet
there has not been one inter-
marriage between a white and
q black or colored person in
Bossier parish. Amalgamation
seems further off than ever.
Slavery enforced, oftentimes,

since freedom has been in every
instance dissolved, as we be-

There is a natural antipathy
between the races which seems
destined to keep them distinct.

Our young folks seem now
more inclined to marry than
formerly. Poverty has put
them all on an equality. Ne
cessity has forced them to work
for their living, and, strange
to sly, they have discovered
that after all the lot of a labor
ing man is not a hard one.
They find a support so easily
made that they are willing to
add to their cares the bringing
up of 4 family.

The Canal proposed through

almost forgotten. We have
never seen anything like an

several pegs in the lists of States.
Her population has increased

has enough cash in the treasury
to pay all obligations. The re-
