Our BenefactOr.

In lonely, secluded corner of the
cemetery near the village of Richmond,
Mich, Is n grave over which we fain
would weep. We don't know why fain
we would, but we would, the faintest
kind. A white marble slab, nearly con-
cealed from view, bears the simple in
scription: Benjamin Cummins born,
A. ID. 1772; died, A. ID. 1S4S." And who
was Benjamin Cummins? Cummincs

A Buttermilk Bath.

lr is said buttermillS will remove sun
burn, and we've been told that it would
remove freckles. We are no authority
for either statement, but couple of men
who drove along North Pearl street this
morning about nine o'clock, and who
turned rather too call of sudden" into
State, are. What they don't know about
the effect of buttermilk when applied eX-
ternally to the human form can properly
be set down as not worth knowing. You
sec they were seated in low sleigh, and
ut their back were two barrels filed to
the brim with the foaming buttermilk
which cheers and removes tan but don't
inebriate. f..f. .I.......... ......-r
We can't say how it came to pass,
whether one of the sleigh-runners caught
in the horse.car track, or whether the
driving was careless. or whether the
horse took bad streak, but the conse-
quence was fearful to contemplate. just
as the sleigh turned TO pass from Pearl
into State-look out therel Over went
the whole concern, the two unfortunate
fellow-creatures under and the butter
milk on top!
They didn't lose much of the milk-in
fact they caught the whole of it on their
heads or else down their backs The
spectacle presented by the twain lying
prone and dominated by the beautiful
buttermilk was one well calculated to
awaken all the better feelings of all the
spectators, and the consequence was, not
man who witnessed the mishap but
was visibly affected.

well enough, but when buttermilk comes
to get you in a corner-thats another

considered the same, we are Of opinion that the
! judgment Of the Chief Justice should be affirm
ed and we adopt his reasons with this modi6ca-
| ton.
The section COS Of the Civil Code, reads as
follows !; AN vessels entering port SHALL il so
requested by the HarbOr Master or any pilot,
rig in their jib, flying jib, and spanker booms,
aud spritsail yards and top their lower and top
sail yards, within "a hours after entering such
port and in all such cases before attempting to
! come alongside Of or make fast 10 either Of the
docks or wharves. and keep them so rugged in
and topped until "a hours before leaving the har-
bor aud until after removing from any wharf
or dock, under the penalty Of = fine not exceed
ing $780,"
The construction that we have placed upon
this statute IT, that the words. in all cases" in
the fourth line refer to the time, thus if the
sci on entering the barhOr. comes 10 anchor and
| is requested by the Harbor Muster to rig iE her
booms &c. she may have "a hours wherein to
obey the order. but if she is 10 come alongside
the wharf, even though il may be ON the day on
which she arrives, and is requested by the Har-
Dor Master to rig in her booms, &c. she must do
so at once. aud cannot wait for the "a hours ai
ter She has got alongside the wharf. But the
request of the Harbor Master is always necessa-
ry, in order to impose upon the vessel the obi
cation to rig in her Blooms.
But even if this be not the proper construction
Of The statute, and if the Rayenstondale was in
disobedience to the statute in not having rugged
| in her jIb boom and flying jib boom. though not
having been requested SO TO do by the HsrbOr
Master, it would furnish no defence for the
steamer.
The only question is, whether the Cyphrenes
was in Ianlt. and whether the steamer could have
avoided the ship, if proper precautions had been
taken; aud it would be superhuuus to enquire,
whether the ship was Obeying in all respects the
harbor regulations.
When the collision was caused by u vessel
having the power to move or stop at her pleas
ure. in a channel of sufficient breadth, without
any superior force compelling her to the place of
collision. The fact that thest Gamer did collide
with the ship is conclusive evidence that she was
not properly managed, Granite State, 3 Wallace,
3l4) more especially wheu it is shown that the
collision occurred in broad daylight and that the
ship which moored to the wharf, could be
seen all the way from the entrance of the harbOr
and even before entering.
The Court while affirming the judgment Of the
Chief Justice adopts his reasoning with this
slight modification.
