Doe ON the Demise Of Roe, versus Roe OF
the Demise Of Doe

Doe ON the Demise of Roe, versus Roe on
the Demise Of Doe.
This was case Of ejectment. Cab
BILE (Q. C.) for plaintiff.-This is
clear case of custer (Shoseer 2); but if
the tenant in possession disputes the
title of tenant in tail, he cannot plead
laches (Campbell). In this case the
remainder man was regularly let in,
but the widow cannot now claim
dover (Blackstone, 81. Suppose the
mortgage had been anxious to fore
close, then plaintiff must have been
guided by the rule in Shelly's case
(Adolphus and Ellis, g.. Here there
is nothing of the kind. If defendant
takes anything, it is in the character
Of tenant in reversion after the possi-
bility of insue extinct (Sho,rer, y.
Thumpus (Sergeant) contro.-Doe
takes only chattel interest, or, at
most, u base fee Taunton, 81. The
court must presume that the outstand-
ing term is satisfied East, 81. The
rule is not now as Coke laid it down,
for Mansfield &C. .J.) declined taking
it up. This is a case Of common GUS
ter. Doe walked in as trustee, and
was kicked out in tail. There is no
relief for him ut common law (Brac-
ton). The door was shut upon him
by defendants son, and the parent is
not answerable for the act of the boy
(CMtty).
Judgment was not delivered by the
court. s..=,s
Mither &c. J.)-This is an uncom-
mon case. Doe was never regularly
in, nor was Roe regularly out. Both
took as devisees of the same testator.
The case in Shower can not guide us
here, though the rule laid down has
been recognized. l do not think there
is much in the objection to the wid-
ow's claim of dover, though. I see l
have got it upon my notes. A mort
gagee may suffer by laches, but then
the defendant should have pleaded the
tort. There is nothing of tllis'on the
record, and the verdict must go accor-
dinghy.

in Bracton, and have decided it twice

Twaddle (J)-There are four points
in this case; three of them amounted
to nothing, and the fourth has been
conceded. The laches ought to have
appeared OH the pleadings. There

of the act removed much abuse, and
the eighty Fourth is a particularly

A Delicate Young Lady Kills a
Roar

From the Weyauwega wis., Times]
Some few months since, "Uncle
Markham" as he is familiarly known,
q successful trapper of this vicinity,
wooed and won the gushing heart of
a timid damsel. Though tie trapper
is q man well along in years, probably
about sixty, he has a great, warm heart
that burned with the intense fire of
Gloves young dream" for the young
maiden Of twenty summers. He won
the girls consent, and the wedding
was celebrated in the frontier style.
A few Of the trapper's friends proph-
esied that the marriage brooded no
good to him; but latter events have
proven different state of affairs.
Uncle Markham took his young lily
to his little home on the banks Of the
placid Wolf, where he taught her the
divers sports peculiar to his calling.
He taught her to fish until she was an
adept. He taught her to row a boat
until she could "pull like man." He
taught her to shoot until she is a ''dead
shot" So far he has been happy. She
has been all he could ask for, and en-
couraged with her fast progress, he
has been lately teaching her the art of
trapping: In this she has recently
crowned his ambition.-with n laurel
wreath, and filled his cup of joy to
the brim. She has trapped a bear,
and shot old Bruin dead in his tracks.
1t happened on Thursday morning,
the 26tl ult. The trap had been set
for Il bear on what is known as the
"island" near Wolf River bridge.
On Thursday morning, Alta, the
trapper's wife, or " sis" as he is wont
to call her, started out, we'll armed, to
look at the traps. Upon nearing one
Of them she heard a terrible slashirg.
A few steps brought her in full
view of the great terror of our
northern forest. Old Bruin paused iii
his work to view his strange foe, and
greeted her with. = hnWl Of rage. That
howl was his last. Quietly she drew
the stock of the gun to her shonlder,
drew a sure bead ON the most vital
part of the animal, and fired. As the
smoke cleared away she saw that the
shot had struck home-that her tro-
ply lay bleeding at her feet. After
her work was done, she had her hus-
band and a young man help her carry
home two hundred pounds. of bear
meat. l5,

The dolmens of Algeria are table
like stones supposed to have been
erected by the Druids for use as al
ters. General Faidherbe, of the French
army, has just written apaper to show
that this supposition is incorrect, and
that they are in reality nothing but
tombs. He has examined great num-
Der of them, and thinks that those in
Europe and Africa were built by the
same race-a people which emigrated
from the north. In opposition to this
view is the fact that no dolmens or
like monuments are found between
Scandinavia and the Caspian Sea,
where lies the route along which emf
grafton proceeded southwark.

Do People Read Advertisements

From the Rochester Union and Advertiser
There is now and then a person so
stupid as to believe that advertise
ments are not generally read, and
that money expended in advertising is
practically wasted. Even such will
concede that if hundred men of po-
lite address, of fluent speech and
ready wit were to call daily or weekly
each upon an hundred others and get
the ears Of each long enough to say
john Smith, or Jones, or Thompson
at such a place, has such and such
goods at such price, or would sell
farm, or house and lot, or had lost
horse or pocket-book, or would loan
money, etc,-we say such men will
concede that the services of this one
hundred men would be Of great value
to Smith or Jones, and in Q measure
advantageous to the party to whom
this statement was made. This hun
dred men could not be employed to go
from door to door and make this
statement to ten thousand people at
less than a cost of several hundred
dollars each trip. All this is done
by the newspapers at the cost of a
few shilling, or a few dollars at most,
and the visits are made week after
week, day after day. The messenger
who travels addresses himself to the
ear and takes the party addressed
when he may have his thoughts ali
sorbed in business or other matters;
but the newspapers reaches the party
sought through the eye, when the
reader has his thoughts solely fixed
upon the paper before him.
But those who affect to believe
that there is little use in advertising
urge as an objection that advertise
ments are not read. They can be
easily convinced of their error in this
respect by making inquiry. Let them
insert an advertisement offering to
purchase some article that is tolerably
plenty in the market, and they will
be flooded with offers to sell before
the ink of the advertisement is dry.
An enterprising weekly that has a
circulation of one, two or three thous-
and copies is in q position to do the
village merchant great good, and for
which, as rule, the publisher does
not get one fourth Of what he justly
deserves. In its sphere the weekly is
of quite as much service to the adver-
tiser as. is the daily, and oftentimes
it enjoys the privilege of being the
exclusive family visitor, a privilege
the daily seldom has.

And then he had a goal ahead which
he was determined to reach as soon as
possible; and by his system Of cash
payments he could estimate at the
close of the day the gain he was max

months he paid what he had borrowed
Of his wife, she put it into the COM
mon fund; and in five years his

man anything but love and good
