important Decision.

The Decree of partition rendered
some time since in the case of Abila VS.
Abila, was on the 10th inst. after ar
gument by Judge Brunson for appell-
ant and Col. Smith for respondent,
reversed by the Supreme Court. This
is one of the most important, cases APP
pealed from this county for long
time, involving the title and posses
sion of a large tract of very valuable
land. 1t has been litigated in our
Court since 1866. All the leading
lawyers of Los Angeles have tried
strength on it. The chief point involv-
ed i'm the case is the construction of
an old Spanish will. We will watch
with considerable interest the new
trial, that will now be had. The hon.
or of reversing the former decree be-
longs to Messrs. Brunson and East

Glassell, Chapman & Smith, Judge

Cogent Facts.

A physician who is constantly at
tending to acute and febrile dis
eases at the bedside, cannot have an
enlarged experience in the treatment
of chronic cases; nor can any one who
remains in his office treating chronic
diseases exclusively, have any expert
ence of value in treating acute cases.
These are aXioms or self-evident truths
that require neither argument nor
demonstration.
Now, while DIR. ABORN is willing
to acknowledge that he who confines
himself to the treatment of fevers and
other acute diseases should be more
successful in such cases than himself,
yet he begs leave to claim like superb
ority in the treatment of certain dis
eases to which he has devoted himself
for series of years.

When it is stated that the average rain
fall in this country is about "a inches'a
year, the magnitude Of the fall here shown
Of over 19 inches in two months will be
revealed, The region affected embraces
those regions known in the signal service
arrangement as the Lower Missouri and
cess of rain in the Upper or the Lower
Mississippi sections; indeed, they have
needed rain in Minnesota above US, and in
Arkansas and Misslppi below us; while
east of the Alleghanies q comparative
drouth has prevailed. .....a. .t..-. .a
The damage inflicted on the growing
crops and the harvest in Missouri, Illinois,
Southern Iowa, Western Kansas, Kentuc-
ky, and the lower part of Indiana and Ohio
cannot be estimated; in a large portion of
this extended region the farmers haVe-not
had three consecutive days OF dry weather
during the harvest; what they did in their
grain and grass fields was done by the
hardest toll; and after they had managed,
by working in spells, to cut and shock their
grain, they have had to. see their shocks
swept away by sudden freshets in the
streams, or their grain ruined by sprouting
in the wet fields. -
Although two summer months of the

Whatever the blunders of his admins
tration as President. Mr.. Johnson must
have credit for qualities of the most
precious and lofty character. His sincerity
was profound: his courage passed safely
through every test; his patriotism was
unquestionable; and his sense of the dig
nifty belonging to his office was so great
that he refused every gift as something
whose acceptance would be shameful in a
President. And however great the detes-
tation that surrounded him as he retired
from power, it has since been changed in
most minds into a feeling ofrespect. The
ADMINISTRATION Of his successor has in some
most important points made his admirable
by contrast; and those who were loudest
in denoucing his regeneration now pay
honor to the fidelity which dared every
thing rather than be false to conviction,
and which broke loose from the most power
ful party known in our history rather than
adopt apolicy which threatened mischiefin
the future.

Death of Andrew johnson.
From NE 50. Louis Republican.

Andrew johnson of Tennessee is dead.
No elaboration of phrases can carry with
more poignancy the sorrow of this simple
announcement. The sole survivor of our
ex-presidents, he was type of the states
manship of the better days of the republic.
He was a man of the people, loved the
people, labored for them, and in all things
sought their good. He was ambitious, but
his ambition sprang from the desire to
benefit his race and country. In his whole
public career there was no stain upon his
perfect integrity of character. He spurned
brides. He despised everything mercen
ary. He would not receive gifts while in
Office. His strong convictions were always
expressed boldly. and with no trucking,
time serving tongue. The right, as he
saw it, was his guiding star, and with this
blazing beacon he marched forward with
out deviation. The lesson of his speeches,
pToclamatlons, messages and letters was
loyalty to law. The spirit of the revolu-
tionary fathers lived in all his acts. When
the waves Of fierce fanaticism rolled about
him and oyer him, his stalwart will and
fortitude were mot broken. With folded
arms and barred breast he braved and de-
fed them, standing like "a living wall, a
human wood" in manly consciousness of
of his rectitude and faith in ultimate vim
dication by his fellow citizens, Errors he
committed, faults he had; but he had no
enemy who would not willingly to-day
acknowledge that Andrew johnson was a
patriot, true statesman and an honest
man

4 Comparison Between Eight of the
Prominent Agricultural Counties.

Among the prominet agricultural pro-

Chester, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery,
Northampton and Westmoreland counties.
Their wealth, it is true, does not altogether
consist of broad acres, fine wheat and the
best of agricultural implement, but it is the
foundation of their progress, the mainstay
of the population, and their agricultural
prosperity is the substantial evidence of fu-
ture thrift. The figures are taken from
the Ninth U. S. census report of 1870.
