HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION SECURED.

Since the article ander the caption of
Bankrupt Law" published in another col
umn, was in type, we received tel' gram
from Senator j.ewis, Informing us that the
declaratory bill had passed the Senate. 1t
therefore only awaits the signature of tbs
Presidcntto become the law. The following
is the declaration, as reported in the Senate
rom the Judiciary Committee, on Monday
last.
Mr.. Poole. from the committee on the ju-
dietary, reported without amendment House
bill declaring it to have been the true intent
aud meauin, Of act Of June S, 1872, amend
story Of bankrupt Law, that the exemptions
allowed the bankrupt by said amendatory &C.
should be the amount allowed by the consi-
tuition and laws Of each State, respectively
as existing in the year 1871. and that such
exemptions be valid against debts contracted
before the adoption and passage ofsuch State
constitution and laws. as we'll as afterwards,
and against liens by decree of any State con
stituton. Notwithstanding any decision since
rendered.
Senator Lewis deserves great credit Tor the
untiring manner in which he has pressed this
important question before Congress. 1t has
been mainly through his earnest labors that
it has been npished. Mr.. Platt, in the
House, has likewise been active and infuen-
.ial in the passage Of the bill. 1t was through
his admirable tact that it passed the House
by two-thirds vote shortly after bill re-
pealing the bankrupt LAW absolutely, had
passed.
The entire delegation from Virgins, We
believe, supported the bill.
It is important that those who wish to
uyail themselves of this law, should take
prompt steps to do SO, as the time is short in
which their applications can be f!ed-the LIST
of July, 1873.

This RECESSION is much more fully understood
and appreciated in our larger cities than it is
here, in eur own community. But it would be
very much to the advantage of our people ii they
would consider its Importance, and give their
support to its permanent establishment in our
mid.t.
Although tha Equine Epidemic has to all ap
pearance, spent its force upon the stock of our
county, yet there are many persons, within and
without its limits who are liable 10 recurrence
Of anxiety and trouble from the fear of other
diseases amongst their stock. especially the al.
most universally fatal Csrebro spinaI H,ningiat;s,
now so prevalent at the North
In view Of this, have thong it we'll to bring
before tine public the success of our city Vcteri
nary Surgeon, Dr.. H j. Cozens, during the late
Epizootic Influenza. On comparing it with that
of any published report, find it stands unequal
led. The quack advertisement of specific for
that particular disease, which appeared in one
Of our town papers. boasts of having lost but
eight out of eight hundred cases. Dr. Cozens,
without the Of specifics, or secret remedies,
in four hundred cases lost none. He has always
been perfectly open in his practice, and willing
that all should know the use and nature of medi.
cines employed.
l. Although the profession Of Veterinary Surge
ry is popularity supposed to relate to the care Of
horses alone, this is not strictly The cass And
now that the season of the year is fast approach
ing when so many foals and young stock are lost
for want Of suitable treatment, it seems highly
proper to call attention to the value of Dr. Coz
ems services in these cases, thereby putting it in
the power of every farmer to guard against this
misfortune. Many instances might be cited
where his timely care has saved the lives Of val
liable mares and foals.
As this article is written by one who has been
close observer of DR.. Cozens' abilities, he con-
sidsrs himself fully qualified in unhesitatingly
recommending him to all who may need any ad-
vice in the management of their stock; and he
especially urges those who may discover symp
toms Of Ccrebro-spinal Meningitis, to lose no
time in securing the Doctors services. as he
thoroughly understands this alarming disease and
has had considerable experience in treating it.

the United States should assume and pay the
debts of all the States, and that the U. S.
Constitution be amended SO as to prevent
the States from contracting debts thereafter.
A synopsis of the message will be found in
to-iay's paper. 1t is an elaboration of an

the effect that Congress appropriate one hun

THE! cable announcement that one hun

the iron trade which has been going on
during the past year VIC have from time TO

our decreasing importation Of English
