The Richmond Dispatch records the
following novel achievement by telegraph {:
"a gentleman suddendly became i'll of
pneumonia in Washington city. His ply
s%ician, Il gentleman of great attachments
and fame. resided in New York. and he
was anxious that this physician should be
consulted about his case. A telegraph
wire was by his direction taken into hie
room. and the New York doctor being
summoned to the telegraph office there,
the Washington physician attending the
patient informed him of the state of the
case. and even enabled him to feel his pa
TENTS pulse by causing the wire 10 vibrate
as the pulse did. The case thus being
thoroughly diagnosed in New lork' the
necessary prescriptions were sent thence
to Washington. The attack. though vio-
lent soon yielded to the treatment, and
the patient is now a very cheerful con-
valescent".

THE extensive use of these watches for the last
Gdteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy OF
the waItham Watch. To satisfy that class in all
these respects, is to decide the question as to the
real value of these time-keepers.
More than 500, 900 of these watches are now

over all others.
Tho superior organization and great extent of

partner, or where one member of the firm
becomes the owner or has the
exclusive right 10 settle and control the
partnership effects, he may set off
debt of the partnership against a demand
on him in his own right, for the reason
that having the adjustment of the part
nership business he may release or com
pound the debts due the firm, or control
them upon his discretion and response
bility. 8 Tenn. Rep. 493; Tenn. Rep.
$50; 7 Watts 465. The doctrine that ex-
cludes the right of set off in the cases
cited is founded on the idea that the mu-
tuality contemplated by the statute of
Geo. 2. is wanting. And it rests upon
sound reason when applied to partnership
debts in view of the relation of each part
ner to the general creditors and the liens
and liabilities which the law imposes
upon the partnership effects. The mutu-
atty of the law, then, is the reciprocal
obligation of parties to each other,
while the relation of creditor and debtor
is mutual between them, each claiming in
his own right against the other, whether
the mutual debt be of firm against q
firm or individual against another, or
whether it be ''between the testator or
intestate of both or either party That
mutually does not exist in this case; and
although the defendant may have his ac-
ton at law against either or both mem
bers of the firm or their representatives
for the recovery of his debt; yet, for the
want of this mutually, he Is deprived of
this most convenient statutory remedy of
set off. Let the judgment be affirmed.
