A JUDICIAL DECISION OF COMMERCIAL
Th1Y

Chicago bankers are interested in n decision
just rendered by tho United States Supreme
Court Tho cnHe turned nnon tho question
whether ban1t to which time drnft against
consignment had boon Forwarded for col
lection with tho bill Of hiding should tloliv-
or Ia tho aceep.ora Of tho draft. ut the time
Of acceptance, tho bill OF laling. Tho cnAe
came mp from Boston, where tho Judge Of the
United States Circuit Court lad held that tho
National Bank OF Commerce had becu guilty Of
negligence for so aurrcndering bill Of hiding
to tho ncoeptor Of draft, anl was
responsible to tho owners of the
draft upon the subsequent insolvency OF
the acceptor. This decision has now been
reversed by tho Supreme Court. Tie opin-
ion of the Court, delivered by Justice srnoxo,
has just been ulado public, and is Of impor-
sanco to bankers and business men. The
substance Of tho opinion is that bill of lad
when attached to time draft and forwarded
to m agent for collection without speclal in
structions, is to 10 delivered to the acceptor
OF tho DRIFT at the time Of acceptance,
ind TINT it is not TIC duty Of the
agent for collection to withhold the bill
Of lading from the acccptor until pay
mcnt. The opinion IL argued very elab-
orately by thu Justice, and he reaches
a conclusion SO satisfactory to his own mind
TINT he states that no respectable case can bo
found whore tho opposite opinion has been
held. Flo basis Ills opinion on tho treason -
Of tho caso and the prccolouts, and fluids
botll overwhelming. Tho DRIFT in such cases,
the Court holds il expected BY drawer mud
drawee 10 DO paid out Of tho merchandise
consigned, and to withhold tho bills OF lal-
ing from the inter would simply deprive
hin Of the means Of meeting tho drift. Such
transaction is looked upon as a salo for
credit, mud by law and commercial usago tho
purchaser is entitled to take possession Of
tho goods. OF course, tho rartios concerned
Gun mako different arrangement If they de-
siEe. II tho caso be looked at nB not salo
Oil credit. but as q raqucat for advances Oh
the credit Of the consignment, it il held to
be still more tho duty Of the collecting agent
to surrender the bill Of lading, as tho pay-
ment OF the draft is evidently asked for upon
the faith OF tho consignment Justice
srRoso illustrates tho absurdity Of tho view
that tho bills Of lading are to be held and tho
property retaiued IN custody Of tho con-
signor'a agent until payment Ut tue tlraft by
asking what IL to be done "if the consign-
mont 10 OF perishnble artloles such NJ
peaches, fish, butter, eggs, etc. Are they to
remain in a warehouse until tho term OF
credit shall e1pirc:"

H1CE-fHEb1uEMT HENRY WILSON.
The denth Of HENnY W11soN has been
looked for by many for several months, de-
spite Ills own earnest protestations Of re-
cruited health and strength.
Tho life OF the deceased 1tatesluan has been
n marked ono, and its record is one TINT may
be proatably studied by all Americans. 1t il
Il record that should be carefully observed by
al young mon OF whatever occupation or
pursuit. Born in 1912, in poverty, be was
apprenlced to farmer at 10 years of age,
and served laboriousiy until his majority, in
1883. With little opportunity for schooling,

sotts, wllero he engaged at shoemakipg at
which ho worked diligently, praoticing ten-
perancs and rigid economy. until he had nc
cu,nulated seme five hundred dollars He
then tried to improve his limited education
by attending All academy in New Hampshire,
but the depository OF his savings having be-
come insolSent, he returned to shoemaking
at Natick. His good habits and his natural
abilities, however, made him conspicuous
among his associates, and in 1910 he was
enlisted in behalf Of Gen. uAan1soN's elec-
tiou to the Presidency, ho making
a great many speeches. From that time to
the present he has been conspicuous in
American politics. lie VIM almost con.
tinuously member Of either ono or tho othor
branch Of the State Legislature, and fre-
'luently the presiding officer. He was IN
actiyo Anti-slavesy man, and opposed the MI
noxation Of Texa,. In 1878 he left the
Wing National Convention when 1t rejected
the Anti-Slavery platform, and united with
the Frce-Soil party. For two years he edited
all Anti-SlayeEy paper in Uoston, serving also
in the Legislature. In 1852 Io preaided at
the Free-Soil National Convention In Pitts

BRIsroL.-Quite natural curiosity exists
at the foot OF hill, near the residence OF
George Rathbun, about three-quarters OF q
mile below our village. A current OF very
cold air comes out of the ground. through
the loose gravel stones of which the hill is
composed, the gravel varying in size from
minute pebbles to stones eight or ten inches
in diameter There is an aperture In one
place about six inches in diameter, appear
ing to extend into the ground some distance,
where the current of air is strong enough to
blow sand into the eyes Of those examining
it and to bend the twigs of small limbs held
within a foot of the surface. The stones are
rendered very clean by the continued air
wash Dr. Prime, whose attention was
called to it By Mr. W. j. Alternately. stu
dent of Middebury College. went down
there Friday and made observations with
the following results Temperature of the

% : in the sun, and 500 in the shade of a
tree near by. Temperature Of the =" Big
Cold Spring" (Which runs out of the same
hill about so rods above), 49,. His theory
in regard to the cause of this phenomena is,
that cavity exists in the hill through
which the current OF the cold spring runs,
and that during this hot weather the cold
current Of air rushes down these air chan
ncls by gravity. 1t is very evident that the
cold spring and this air current have some
connection from the fact that the tempera-
ture OF the two is precisely the same. If the
current of air should cease, or reverse itself,
during cold weather this theory would be
quite well established Scientific opinions
are solicited. E.

SILVER WEDDING. = Last Wednesday be-
ing the twenty-ffth anniversary of the mar
ried life OF Mr.. and Mrs Charles {. Post. of
this city, large number of their friends
made the evening of that day the occasion
OF a silver wedding for the worthy couple,
arrangements for which had been so con-
Quoted as to make it complete surprise to
them. Early in the evening the friends
gathered at the residence of Mr.. and Mr..
Post, on Colchester avenue. to the num-
Der of about seventy, bearing their tributes
of esteem in the shape ofa generous collec-
ton OF silver ware, and a profuson of flow
ers and bouquets, which were speedily ar
ranged IN tasteful manner for the accent
ance of the recipients. Among the articles
OF silver were two boxes knives pie. fish.
cake and butter knives sugar spoons, nap-
KIN rings, tea and call bells. pitcher, an ele-
CANT handkerchief box, and box of silver
COINS Among the presents was a fine
gold wedding ring. The occasion was de-
VOID OF all tormalities, there being no
speeches and responses, and the evening was
spent IN pleasant social intercourse. and in
congratulations to the bride and groom that
time and fortune had dealt 50 kindly hy
them. Rev. Mr.. Therrien performed the sill
yer wedding ceremony, in pleasant man.
ner. A pleasant incident of the evening was
the singing. by Mrs. Post, OF song she sung
twenty-five years ago. as she went out from
the parental roof to share the yicissitudes of
her companion. At a proper time. all were
invited to partake of elegant Refreshments.
and at seasonable hour the friends sonar.
ated for their homes, leaving with their host
and hostess. in addition to the substantial
tokens OF esteem already mentioned. many
kind regards and wishes for their future
prosperity and happiness.

BURLINGTON, Aug. 81. 1875.
To the EIt.r OF the Free Press and Times
The meeting. at Boston. over which A.
7. Stearn, presided, passed some very spicy
resolutions, more or less complimentary to
myself, and denounced the compromise
made by the National Executive Committee
and the Woodbury. Patent Planning Machine
Company. The absurdity of that meeting
Is illustrated in the frantic expressions
made By those attending it, about
being sold ont, ;" "betraved, &c. when
the fact is those attending that meeting
were not members of the Association, and
have nothing whatever to do with the COM
promise. The whole amount of the wealth.
represented by that meeting is not one
third of what is represented by the
persona! estate of W. W. Grape, of
the National Executive Committee How
| can have betrayed the trust of
persons who have never employed me in
any way, and that by doing what nv COM
mittee directed me to do and paid me for
doing, am at a loss to understand. 1t is
hardly probable that persons who are
not provided Tor by the terms of the COM
promise enjoy being left out in the cold, but
1t never struck me that that had ANYTHING
to do with the business of the Association.
L have no doubt but those who now are so
anxious to fight the Woodbury. Patent. will
find plenty of lawyers ready to take their
fees, as | have been to take fees from the As
soclatlon, but have serious doubts of their
ever making settlement for themselves
upon such easy terms as have been made by
The National Executive Committee for the
members of the Association.
That the compromise is popular among
the members, the following letter, which Is
but sample of what comes from all the
lumber districts OF the country, will show
ST. LOUIS. August 81, 1875.
To the National Executive Committee OF the Plan

And can assure you. gentlemen that il affords
