THE LIABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS IN
BANKS FOR THEIR ISSUE. Judge II. f.
Graham has rendered decision on this
much-mooted question:
l. That the Acts of the Legislature
do impose an individual liability OH the
stockholders of the banks, covered by
it's terms.
2. That this liability is confined to
those who owned shares in the banks on
the 10Th of November, 1860, when they
suspended specie payments, or who had
held such shares at any time within
twelve months previous to that date.
3. That this liability is alone for such
bills Of the banks as were actually in
issue on the 10Th Of November. 1860,
the date of their suspension and refusal
to pny their notes in current coin, and,
therefore, of their failure
4. That there is no individual liability
on the part of the stockholders for any
bills issued after the 23th of November,
1860, the date upon which the bankt
failed to pay their notes, according to
their legal obligation, in current coin.
b. That those who dealt with the
banks while in a state of suspension did
80 a. their peril, and are not within the
mischief against which the law intended
to provide, by fixing individual liability
upon the corporators.
6. That the burden of proof is upon
the holder of the bill, to show that it
was issued and put in circulation by the
banks prior to the 29th November, 1860.

SUICIDE AND FATAL ACCIDENT. cor
respondent of the Edgefield Advertiser
writes as follows from Batesville:
Our village was much startled on yes
terday morning by the sudden news of
the death of Mr.. Mark Ridgell, the
eldest son of Joel Ridgell, deceased,
which was the result of a gun.shot
wound inflicted by his own hand, at the
house Of his brother, Mr.. John Ridgell
The particulars are as follows: Mr.. Mark
Ridgell has been for number of yenrs
a resident Of Texas, and came out lately
from that State on visit to his old
neighborhood. For number of days
previous to his death he had been under
the undue influence of strong drink,
which it seems worked his destruction.
BE was found early in the morning lying
dead in MIR. John Ridgell's house, hav-
ing been shot in tho head, n Colts pistol
lying under his leg.
On the afternoon Of Tuesday. the 4th
instant, on the plantation nf Capt. Thos.
Bates, near this place, while storm was
approaching, four of his field hands
took shelter under an onk tree, which
was shortly after struck by lightning.
One of the party was killed Instantly,
two others were seriously hurt. while
the remaining one received little or no
injury. The name of the colored man
killed was Jake Coleman.

DESTROYING THE CoSTAoIoN or eMALL Pox.-
Our friend David Reimer, Esq, of Northumber-
land, has kindly furnished us the following
translation from late article published in a
German Journal by DR.. Znreck, in his official
capacity as Government Physician to the citizens
of Berlin:
''For the disinfection of medium sized room,
in which q small pox patient Is being treated, all
that is needed, beyond scrupulous cleanliness, Is
to place or 10 drops of the Solution of Carbolic
evaporation In some part of the apartment.
This should be renewed daily.
For the dsinicction of cxcrement, water clo-
sets, and privies, n mixture of 3 parts by weight
of Carbolic acid with 95 parts of Stacked lime ia
needed. Four ounces of this powder is sufficient
to destroy the small pox poison in bucket of
liquid or half liquid excrement. The dsinfec-
tion is effected by interminglng the powder with
the contents of the bucket.
Cotton or linen bed clothing, or wearing alI-
pare, before being washed, should be soakeu
twenty-four hours in water, containing ounces
to each 25 gallons.
Wooden clothing, &C., should be soaked as
long in n similar bath, leaving out the soda.
Beds. furs and cloth, which cannot be WASHED,
should be sprinkled, or brushed Off with a mix
ture of 2l& ounces of carboic acid, dissolved in
quart of strong alcohol"
Every family and every physician should pre-
serve copy of this.
MRs. JANE LINx, a Revolutionary rcnsioncr,
widow of John Lynn, died in Lock Haven, last
Sunday a week. aged 81 years. Her husband
was in the battles of Bundywine and German
town, and narrowly escaped massacre at Paoli.
He taught school in Union county in 1910.

THE annual election of officers of the Northum-
berand County Agricultural Society took place
on Tuesday last, at the Court House. We are
happy to state that the members of the society
have taken the precaution to re-elect its old oii-
GERS. The society having just been regularly
incorporated, 1t is well to retain its officers until
permanent organization is effected. The exhi.
bitlon at this place in September last, under the
new organization, was the most successful of any
ever held in this county, which is attributable to
the energy and efficiency of its officers. Although
most of them reside in the upper end of the
county, they cheerfully yielded the location of
the fair to suubury as the best and most central
point. We are Informed that these officers ex-
press themselves in favor of holding the next fair
on the same grounds. We hope this may be ac-
complished, as we are satisfied that with its pre-
sent board of officers, another fair at this place
will not only make permanent and well regu-
lated organization, but will also make it one of
the best paying concerns in this county.
