CornWI'aIt.

The death of A. M. Hart, which oc- ccured on the 27thIult., is felt to be a loss to this community. He was the fourth in family of twelve children. and the third that has died within a few months. HIT
 Mr. Hart was a man of great. energy and for many years in his earlier life was a successful teacher in the common schools and of music, and wasmuch respected and esteemed by a large circle of acquaintan- ces, made while thus employed He was Judge of Probate for the District of Corn wall for several years. He was also coun- ,ty surveyor and was employed extensive. ly in other towns as well as in this. Like other men he had his imperfections but in all his relations, family, social and re- sligions, his aims were more than usually unselfsh, and his efforts for their attain ment more than usually successful.

by the people Of theiUnited States to nine

The total Indebtedness Of the States,
counties and cities in 1870 was eight hun
dred- and si1ty-nine millions: The federal
debt was given on the first OF the present
month at two thousand two hundred and ten

annual interest upon this Indebtedness IL
less than one-third OF the taxes directly COL

den imposed by government machinery, led

The. census figures just published show
that the valuation OF property in the United
States increased from sixteen thousand mil.
lions of dollars (bard money 16gures) in 1860,
to thirty thousand millions (paper money!
in 1870, equal to a nominal advance OF 80

for State, county, city and town purposes
has increased from ninety-four million dol.

yielded into the treasury three hundred and

local taxation gives six hundred and sixty

for one year, for the support OF the general

captur.d and Abandoned Property

Capture and Abandoned Property.
Chief Justice Chase has delivered an opin-
ion in the Supreme Court OF the United
States, in the case. Of Parquod against the
United States, which opens the way to nu-
merous actions growing out OF the late war.
The case in point was q proceeding to re-
cover the proceeds OF a lot OF cotton, seized
under the Captured: and Abandoned Proper
ty act OF. 1858, On appeal from the Court OF
Claims. and was argued at the last term OF
the court. The Court Of Claims dismissed
the petition on the ground that it did not
aver that the claimant had not given aid or
comfort to the rebellion, and that it did not
sufficiently. aver executive pardon. The
Chief Justice held (the same as in the case OF
Armstrong ss. United States, recently deci-
ded, } that the Presidents proclamation OF,
December rs, 1885, granting pardon and
amnesty Internationally and without reser-
v~atioD.,; relieves the claimants, in all cases.
under the Captured and Abandoned Proper,
ty ACT, from proofo Of adhesion to the United,
States during the late war, and the judg-'
ment dismiasing the petition was reversed.
1t will be seen that this is the second de-
cision Of the kind. that hal, been rendered,
aud already many persons in the South have
taken advantage Of it Under these decis:
ions most Of the property taken at the South
during the wa can be- reclaimed. Gu
