The famous suit pending between
Lane, Pitkin & Brock of Montpelier,
manufacturers of the Lane Board Mill,
and Luke Buzzell and others, for in
fringement of the Lane patents, has been
terminated for the present by a eompro-
mise between the parties. The facts
seem to be that Lane has The patents,
! but that the inventions which he has
patented were not his own. He picked
up here and there variety of inven-
lions and improvements, got them pat
ented, and made first class board mill.
But other manufacturers do not propose
to let him monopolize the business of
making mills, unless he can prove that
he invented and did not steal the i'm
provements that make his mill valuable.

i breathing into their souls all that i
sweet and touching in the melody of tn
IL music, and all that is beautiful and no

st ever hears Mr.. Phillips will have fel
&c the eloquence of song, and have bee
it made better by having been borne i
SC imagination to the realms ofthe blessed
lie where the choir of heaven are singin
re the songs of the redeemed. Those VIII
