especially the way in which the wrinkles
in linen disappear before the fatiron.

his father was taking his after dinner

which years of struggle had made upon
the marble brow OF his parent. he was

VERDICT IN AN ACTIoN FOR DECEIT.
"A singular case was decided last week
in the Circuit Court for Washington
county, nd. 1t was given in evidence
on the trial, as stated by the Baltimore
.S'i'a. that in 1871 Mrs. Susan Weckler
asked the FRS; National Bank of LA.
gerstown to cash q draft on New York
FOR Sl,0t7. The teller Of tic bank.
John ID. Newcomer, being told by her
that she wished to invest 81 900 in Wash.
ington county bonds advised her that q
better investment would be in Northern
Pacific railroad bonds, which have since
deprecated TO about fifteen cents on the
dollar. 1t was also stated rs an in.
dncement for such investment, ths. DIR.
Josiah +. Smith, Mrs. Weckler's phvsi
clan, had invested $4,000 in the North.
ern Pacific, and this assurance induced
her TO similarly invest. Robert O. Nv.
man, the son-in.law Of Mrs. Wcckler.
confirmed her testimony, he being pres.
ent ut the conversations. The action
was brought against the teller Of the
bank to recover the amount invested un

ry gave verdict in Mrs. Week.-Mrs. fl.

denied all allegations of deceit, and said
that mt that time the railroad bonds were
In good sale and esteemed as excellent
Investment. Or. Smith testified that he
had never invested iii the Pacific rail.
road bonds, end never told any one he
lad done so. Mrs. Weckler lirst brought
her action against the bank. but the
court held that it could not be maintain.

tered powers OF national banks. under

rulings of the court below. The defen.
dant has fled n motion for a new trial.

Aid was summoned from Leesburg. and
IN a short time half the people OF that

saved, though the house was entirely de-
stroyed. With the house were burned
