Supreme Judicial Court.

JANUARY TERM, WALTON j., PRESIDING.
WEDNEsDAY.-J. Horace Jenness VS.. James e.
Carter. Repevin for a cargo Of molasses, valued at
$4,000. The plaintiff ordered of Mr.. Sturdivant, of
the firm of Chase Cram & Sturdivant, who was 60
ing to Cuba, a cargo Of mslasses. Mr.. Studvant pur
chased several cargoes for his firm of which he
intended for plaintiff and drew upon the plaintiff for
$4,000 and notifying him that he had purchased
cargo)which drafts accepted by the plaintiff and
paid Subsequently he bought another cargo, the one
In question of Lewis L. Stocher which was shipped
on the schooner belmont. In the meantime the firm
of Chase Cram & Sturdivant failed, and made an
sgnment under the statute for the benefit of the
creditors few days after the assignment Mr. Stur-
divant arrived home bringing the bill of laden OF the
belmont endorsed by Stocher in blank, which en-
dorsment filled out to Mr.. Jenness, the plaintiff
In the meantime Stocher heard of the failure of Chase
Cram s. Sturdivant and telegraphed to the defend
ant to seize the cargo before it arrived at this port
which done, and thereupon the plaintiff immedi-
ately repeved Stocher at the time of the purchase
of the cargo was indebted to Chase, Cram 81 Sturd-
want to the amount of OOO and the cargo pur
CHASED on general account.
The counsel for the defendant claimed that the
plaintiff had title to the property; that If it was
purchased by Chase, Cram q Sturdivant, under the
assignment it became the property of the assignee
But the presiding Judge ruled that this point under
the circumstances not open to them; that if the
jury found that the molasses purchased upon
general account, and instead Of creating any debt
from Chase Cram Sturdivant to Stocher it lessened
the Indebtedness of Stocher them in other Words
if the cargo paid for then the right of soppage
transitu did not exist, and their verdict should be
for the plaintiff. The Jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff.

BUSINESS NOTICES,


TRANSFORMING THE COMPLEXION = The
transformation produced by HAGAN's MAGNo-
LA BALM are quite as astonishing as any
scene on the stage Of the theatre. That lannon's
beautifier transmutes sallow, peeky looking
complexion, into one in which the lily and the
rose vie for admiration, and mparts to dry,
harsh skim the softness OF perfect loneliness.
Tan and freckles, which country air and sun
light are pretty sure to produce, in spite of par
asos and sundowns, are completely obliterated
by it; while it has perfectly magical effect in
banishing undue redness, blotches and pimples
from the skin. When the lady WHO has used
1t to raMedy her camplexional defects looks in
the mirror, she Is equally astounded and graft
fled at the improvements in her appearance.
Every blemish has disappeared; her neck, arms
and bosom now rival in whitenesa the snowy
COLLAR which enoircles her throat her cheek
NANTES with peach-like bloom, and she is
ready to invoke blessing on the inventor of
the article which has wrought such delightful
transformation, jan22-eod1w&w1t

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshpped
by the sterner sex. A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er Women are fond of admiration hence one
Of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the power to
eat digest and assimilate proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BrTrERs. 1t

give perfect digestion, purify the blood,
clear up the complexion and produce state of
mental and physical electricity, which gives
symmetry Of form, bright eyes, white skin,
glossy hair and a genuine type of female lowell
ness, which no cosmetic can produce.
