District Court, GOOdhue COuntv.

Inc District Court was engaged all day
Friday and Saturday of last week in the
trial Of the cause of George A. Wilson
against the Red Wing School District,
This is an action for the recovery of a lot
occupied by the District, situate in the rear
OF the Central school building. The Dis
trlct holds by tax title only, and antici-
pating the infrmity of its title, interposed
a claim for the value Of improvements
placed upon the lot by the district. esti-
mated by men of sound judgment to be
worth 81, 200. In fact the improvements
upon the lot have given it about all the VAL
ue it has. The District has made every
reasonable effort to settle with Mr.. Wilson
but he has not seen fit to accept. The
Judge charged the jury tha: the tax titles
under which the School District held were
vold' but that if the plaintiff had not shown
good title in himself they must find for
the defendant. The jury did not believe
the plaintiff had proved himself to be the
owner ofthe lot and found for the defendant.

The dog case was tried on Saturday. Tn
this case Mrs. Bristol sues Mr.. Towle for the
value of dog, which was ruthlesslv assas-
slnated, and thereby nipped in the bud in
the very prime of his usefulness, if the de-
PENDANTS counsel is to be believed. The
act was committed with shot gun, then
and there in the hands of the defendant.
The value Of the deceased is alleged to be
the sum of two hundred dollars, so far as
his value could be measured by money.
Iowle never saw the dog before the day
OF the fatal affray, but denies upon general
principles that he was of any value what.
ever. The opinion of witnesses, who were
we'll acquainted with the deceased during
his life time, differed very materially as to
Athe value of his services, his intelligence,
his mental acumen, and his usefulness.
One Of the defendants witnesses tast;6od
that he never could induce the dog to do
anything, but that he (the dog) invariably
refused to obey his (witness) orders. The
plaintiff here remarked that she would rest
the question Of the dogs sagacity and good
sense upon this piece of testimony alone
with the utmost confidence of its suficien
cy on that point. When the lawyers haG
argued this case with all that solemnity anG
earnestness which the nature of the cas-,
demanded, and the Judge had charged tn,
jury as to the law in the case. the jury pro

executrix.-Err0r to the Circuit Court for
Louisiana. In this case the government
sued on the bond of one Bullitt, collector
of customs at New Orleans, on which the
defendants testatrix was a surety. The
question was whether copies of the reports
of the first auditors office, as certified by
The controller and commissioner of customs
upon Bullitt's accounts, and Bullitt's own
quarterly returns, could be admitted as evil
dence against the surety. The court held
that they could not be admitted except as
against the principal, and they were ex-
cluded. This court reverse that Judgment,
and hold that under the acts of Congress
the records offered were evidence against
the sureties as well as the principal, and
that Bullitt's returns should have been re.
ceived as his admissions of the offence
charged. Mr. Justice Hunt delivered the
opinion.

I had little daughter,
And she was given TO me
To lead me gently backward
To the Heavenly Fathers knee,
That 1, by the force OF nature,
Might in some dim wise divine
The depths of His infinite patience
TO this hayward soul OF mine.
Iknow not how others saw her,
Bnt to me she was wholly fair,
And the light of the heaven she came rom
Sill fingered and CLEANED il her har;
For it was as wavy and golden,
And as many changes took,
Az the shadOws of sun gilt rlppies
On the yellow bed OF brook.
To what can liken her smiling
I1non me, her kneeling lover,
How II leaped from her lips to her eyellds,
And dimpled her wholly over,
Till her outstretched hands smiled also,
And almost seemed to see
The very heart of her mother
Sending sun through her veinsso mel
sba had been with us scarce twelvemonth,
And il hardly seemed a day,
When q troop of wandering angels
stole my little daughter AVA;
Or perhaps those heavenly zlngarl
But loosed the hsDpering strings,
And when they had opened her cage door
Nv little birc used her wings
But they left in her stead chaHse4DS,
A little angel Child,
That seems like her bud in full blossom,
And smiles as she never smiled
When wake in the morning see It
Where she always used to lie,
And feel as weak as violet
Alone meath the awful sky.
As weak yet as truthful also;
For the whole year long see
All the wonders of faithful Nature,
AN lyoA fnrf
Winds wander and dews drip earthward,
Rain falls. suns rise and set,
Earth whirls, and all but to prosper
poor little violet.
This child ia not mine, as the first was
can not sing it to rest,
can not lift it up fatherly
And bless it upon my breast;
Yet it lies in my little ones cradle
Ano sits in my little ones chair,
And the light of the heaven she's gone to
Trans fgures its golden hair.
