Important to Builders.

A suit of greatimportance to builders has
been decided in the New York Court of
Common Pleas. A brick-mason agreed to
build house and charge SO per thousand
for laying the brick. When he came to
measure the brick he measured all the
opening windows, doors, &C., as solid work
making his bill s., 800 larger than it would
have been had he only measured tho solid
wall. The man for whom the work was
done refused to pay this $4,000, and the
mason brought suit to force the payment,
pleading the custom Of brickmasons in his
favor. The court decided that his charge
was illegal, and that he had no legal right
to charge for laying brick that were never
laid. This decision is important to bull
ders and contractors, as other State Courts
would be likely to follow the decision and
precedent set by the New York Court.

A CORRESPONDENT travelling in Ohio,
West Va, and Maryland, says in letter
from Charleston West Va: "The earth
in this section is parched and burnt, and
water is so scarce that in several miles dri-
wing yesterday, could scarcely get enough
for my horse to drink. At Smithburg
Md, water is selling at cents per pail
fun, or cent per gallon, and people are
glad to get it at that. 1t is good article
of Merchandise, a man can make the dutch
mans one per cent on it. The wheat crop
was failure here and l fear the corn crop
will be ditto. In Ohio the corn looks well" !"

well known to the business men, not only in
Perry and Dauphin counties, but through

DeadLetters.

Nearly three millions Of letters went to
the Dead-letter Office last year. They are
partly classified as follows: ilfty-eight thou
sand letters had no county or State di-
rection, more than four hundred thousand
wanted stamps, and three thousand were
put in the Post-oifice without any address
at ALL Ninety-two thousand dollarsin cash
and over three million dollars in drafts,
checks, ETC., were found in these letters

that is misdirected, or goes to the Dead

They have at Urbana, Ohio, the ina
tional camp meeting of some of the half
dozen Methodist churches. On w Wednesday
contribution was being raised for some
purpose when a negro gave his silver watch.
The watch was Immediately sold at auc-
tion for 800, This started the blaze, and
the faithful began to strip OIL their jewelry
and personal valuables. A Mrs. Under, Of
Marion, Ohio, passed up to the altar her
solitaire diamond ring, another gave her
earrings, another her bracelets, another
her Geneva watch. The gentleman, on
the whole, were poorer or else more discreet
and are only credited with pair Of sleeve
buttons and Mexican dollar. The amount
of these offerings was reckoned at 81, 500.
The brother who had the affair in charge
very honestly offered to return privately

ment and we have not yet learned how ex-
tensive the reimbursements were. M

A Banana winch cost s52 200.

About three weeks ago gentleman walked
through Wall street with a bulky package
under his left arm. At William and Wall
streets his attention was attracted to some
luscious fruit at one of the stands He paused
as he observed the fine bananas dangling in
tempting way, and laid the parsel on the stand
to get at his purse. Some one tapped him
lightly on the shoulder. AS he turned to see
who had touched him, the parcel containing
$52, 900 in United States bonds was whipped
up. To seize the robber of his property was
his first thought, but he failed. Nothing
was discovered that she'd any light upon the
theft until a day or two ago in Washington,
when McDevitt arrested q patriarchal man
with one of the stolen bonds in his possession.
This venerable gentleman insisted that he had
legitimately gained possession of the bonds
Give of which were found with him, but De-
tective McDeyitt prevailed ON the elderly man,
whose name is Horace Cooke, to accompany
him to New York City, and here he was
handed over to Chief Detective Irving. 3&t oii

fore Justice Hogan. The jovial Hon.. VIM.

The counsel for the loser of the $52, 900
worth Of bonds were Judge Blatchford of the
United States Court, Clarence A. Seward, son
of the sage of Auburn, and Mr.. DaCosta.
These gentlemen at once caused the Sheriff
to serve upon Horace Cooke repleyin papers,
claiming the bonds. Mr.. Cooke acted very
cody throughout the proceedings, and handed
the documents given him by the Sheriff to his
counsel, Mr.. Howe. after which there was
some desultory conversation about the absence
of witness at Washington. l..., g.. ,..-r.., a.

HENRY CLAY AND THE BILLY GOAT.-For-
merly very large, well-known, and some
what noted billy goat roamed at large in the
streets of Washington, and the newspaper
boys, boot blacks, and street imps generally
made common cause against him. Henry
Clay never liked to see dumb animals abused
or worried, and on one occasion while pass
ing down the avenue, a large crowd of these
mfschievous urchins were at their usual sport
Mr.. Clay, with his walking stick, drove
them away, giving them sound lecture in
the mean while. o As they scampered and
scattered in every direction, Billy, seeing no
one but Mr.. Clay within reach, made charge
on him. Clay dropped his cane and caught
his goatship by the horns The goat would
rear up, being nearly as high as the tall Ken
tuckian himself, and the latter would pun
him down again. This sort of sport soon
became tiresome, and he could conceive of
no way by which he could free himself from
the horned dilemma, so IN his despera-
ton he sang out to the boys to know what to
do. One of the smallest in the crowd shouted
back: "Let go and run, you id fool!"
Clay always maintained that though he signed
the treaty of peace at Ghent, yet that ragged
boy knew moro Than he did.

A Friend Of the Rcasts.

The Territorial Enterprise has the follow
ing: ..,,..., ...,....'. ....,'..,
There appears, to be something magnetic
or otherwise -radiating from the system Of
certain men which gives them much influence
over the inferior animals, which makes them,
as it were, animal charmers. Officer Hayton,
of the police force of this city, is one of
those peculiarly gifted individuals Dogs
cats, pigs, sheep, horses, and all kinds of an
imals, feel and acknowledge his influence.
When he makes his appearance, dogs, cats,
and all kinds of dumb beasts, appear to
experience certain degree of pleasure in his
presence, and make the best demonstrations
of friendship in their power go for him."
OF nights, when he is going his rounds about
the streets, it is no uncommon thing to see
from six to eight dogs, of all breeds, sizes
and conditions, constantly following behind
him, stopping when he stops, and again NOV
ing on when he proceeds, on his beat. Not
only do vagrant and dissipated looking ours
leave their half gnawed bones and follow at
his heels, but also well-ted and sleek watch
dogs, that have Slipped away from their own
door stones to enjoy for time the pleasure
of being near their great friend. What is
strange about the business is, that there ap-
pears to be no jealousy among Mr. Hayton's
followers. They jog along together without
d RIuNl uT sIdIl---illl DIS Ouc 1hillly. AL
though cats do not follow him about the
streets, yet they all manifest great pleasure
at his approach. They rear aloft and gently
wave their tails, rub their backs against door,
steps, and purring melodiously all the time,
keep one eye cocked" upon him as he ap-
proaches. The other night a sheep, which
had followed him all about town, would not
give him up even when he went into saloon.
but marched in after him.. unmindful of the
crowd that filled the room. The secret of the
officers great influence among animals pro-
badly lies in his love for them and his kind
treatment of dumb brutes of every kind. AT
his residence he has a regular menagerie of
white rats, squirrels, cats, dogs, rabbits,
wolves, skunks, and almost every kind of
animal to be had on the Pacific coast. Could
he get hold of wild African lion, he would
soon have him following him about the streets
the same as the dogs do now. - .''
