Through Seven Courts.-The case of
Woodrow & Richardson, of Havre de
Grace, 4. s. w. w. Black, of this county,
is familiar to the majority of the people in
the county, conversant with the general
events occurring in the county.
This case commenced in the Circuit
Court for Cecil county, on the 18th of
January, 1872, and was brought to recover
damages for the refusal of the defendant
to allow the plaintiffs to complete dwell
ing house they had contracted to build for
defendant, on his farm in this county.
Since that time the case passed through
seoen courts; four State courts and three
United States courts, viz: the Circuit
Court for Cecil county, the Circuit Court
for Baltimore county, the Superior Court
Of Baltimore city, the Court of Appeals of
Maryland, the U. S. District Court for the
District of Maryland, the L. S. Circuit
Court for the District of Maryland, and
the Supreme Court of the United States.
In the Superior Court the verdict of the
jury was for So, 252. 06-the entire amount
of the claim of the plaintiffs, with interest.
In the Court of Appeals the judgment
of the Superior Court, Judge Dobbn, }
was affirmed; and in the L. S. District
Court Black was declared bankrupt, and
on appeal to the United States Circuit
Court this judgment of the L. S. District
Court was affirmed. On appeal from this
judgment to the Supreme Court of the
United States, the appeal from the latter
judgment was dismissed; the result of
which is to throw Black into bankruptcy.
The case is considered by those familiar
with it, as one of peculiar hardship. One
of the many instances in which what is
declared to be law is far from equity.

We publish two Local Public Laws
this week, passed by the late Legislature
One is the new Road Law and the other
an enabling act allowing the Sheriff of
Cecil county $3.50 day for the time he
attends Court, and also other perquistes.
The late Sheriff did very well without this
law, having received about $11 600 during
his term from the county. A large part of
this sum however, was expended in the
necessary outlay in the transaction of the
business, reducing the clear profit consider
ably.

high price of gas in that city of four mil

Love.Philters.

The philter of the Greeks was. as its
name implies, love potion, and since ''all
is fair in love and war" it was looked on
as recognized weapon not only to be used,
but also to be guarded against. Hence
arose the custom of applying counter
charms, which, when employed with the
cabalistic songs prescribed for the occasion,
were sure of success, unless a more power
full one of the order should counterfeit the
spells of the officiating witch. The ingre-
dents mingled in love potion
were such that it may well have
tasked all the gallsntry of reluc-
tant lover to accept the profered cup.
Some of the compOnents most in favor were
the bones Of toads and snakes, a portion of
the forehead of born toal, called
"hippomanes." the feathers of a night hawk,
the blood of doves, bones torn from the
mouths of furnishing dogs, and the STRAINS
of the rope with which q man had hanged
himself. Among such heterogeneous col
lection of the materials some must have
had injurious properties. And, either in
qualification of private hate, or to make
good their reputation from time to time
among their votaries, it was in the power of
the dealers in magic to prepare decoction
which should arrest the reason on even the
flow of life
