From the Springfield Union ]
Prof. Hiram circuit, of the Tilden semi
nary, at West Lebanon. knows a thing or
two about pianos, as o Boston dealer can
testify to his joy, and a York State "
lawyer to his chagrin. When Mr.. circuit
taught school in a New York town, a dis
pllte arose as to the ownership of a piano
which one of the villagers had bought, but
not paid for, and which, without paying
for he sought to mortgage to a creditor.
circuit informed the real wner at Boston,
who, to save himself made out a bill of
sale Of the instrument to his informant,
and when the officer and attorney came to
attach the piano, the school-teacher forbade
them, and, with the aid Of some Irishmen,
successfully resisted them. He then ship
ped the piano by night to Boston, and had
another instrument shipped to him with
proper evidence that number two wasn't
number one.
Meanwhile the attorney raised a breeze,
and everybody was sup in arms'' about
the matter. But the lawyer didn't seize
the goods, and the school-master took an
old piano-number three in the transaction
and sent it, covered, by a truckman to
Tie utpot, aS IL " sup IL W DoSpou. luc
~truoklnan passed the lawyers house, and
the latter said, SHOWS the time" and
with an officer and a posse repaired to the
depot, where they had a encounter with
the school-master's posse, who, according
to instructions, allowed themselves to be
conquered. The victorious attorney then
drove through the streets, mounted on the
piaro, swinging his hat and shouting. "Mu-
sic music!'
On arriving at his barn to store the goods,
he took off the cloth to feast his eyes, when
10 1t was an old and worthless instrument,
and he was liable to be sued for trespass
by the schoolmaster. He was sued instant
err, and the crest-fallen attorney sought Mr..
Orcutt's Office and begged terms, which
were $3.50 and indemnity for all the further
litigations arising out Of the debt. This
was at court time, and many a new hat did
the attorney have to buy for his brother law
yers. His name is withheld, as he is still liv.
ing, and no doubt profits by his lesson from,
that Yankee school-master.

THE BOUNDARY CoMMIssIoN.-The
Commissioners to settle the boundary line
between the States of Virginia and Mary
land, which have had several meetings in
Baltimore, adjourned on Saturday night,
without reaching a definite conclusion, TO
meet in this city on the 18th day of Novem-
Der next. The variance between the two
States as to the Potomac boundary is that
each State respectfully claims to the fur
thest low water mark Of that river. The
importance of this claim to each State is
that it gives to the State succeeding not
only jurisdiction over the channel of the
river, but over u number of small islands
in that river. The variance in the claims
as to the boundary line between the Eastern
Shore of the two States affects not only a
a considerable strip of land but some val.
liable oyster grounds.

Important Decision by the British Commits.
sion
TOBACCO BURNED IN RICHMOND.

Washington, October r. The British
Commission to-day decided an important
principle in two cases for tobacco burned
at Richmond. The claimants Scotch
merchants) alleged themselves to be owners
OF the tobacco in question at the outbreak
OF the war that the President, by the
proclamation Of blockade, and the
Congress by the non-intercourse act
Of June, 1861, prevented their removal
of the same, although under the
non-intercourse act the President was
permitted to license special and limited
trade with the insurrectionary districts.
and, as the claimants alleged, such licenses
were given to those willing to take an ac-
tive part against the rebellion in preference
to aliens and neutrals, the claimants charg-
ed the subsequent destruction and loss Of
their tobacco to this prevention of removal
by the United States, and claimed that the
United States was liable therefor.
On a demurrer to the memorials the Com
mission decided against the claims, hold
ing in effect the proclamation Of blockade,
the non-intercourse act, and the practice Of
the United States under them lawful acts
Of wal within the law Of nations. If this
claim could have been sustained the United
States would be made liable for an immense
amount OF property in the South owned by
aliens at the outbreak of the war.
