Owing no doubt to my carelessness In
making them. your reporter misunderstood
the remarks made on Friday in delivering
the medals and the gold piece TO Miss Emma
Walters and Miss Zaidee Morton. Miss Nor.
ton is in school OF a different grade from
that in which Miss Walters is pupil, and
did not compete with the latter at all, but
with readers in her own grade. / took care
not to say that they bad been competitors,
and not to say that the one or the other of
them was the best reader. Whatever the
fact may be, the committee had nothing to
say as between those two young ladies.
The Barron-Durkee prize awarded to Miss
Walters was given TO her as the best reader
In the third grammar grade in the city of
Richmond.
The Barron Durkee prize awarded to
Henry Harris was given to him as the best
reader in the second grammar grade tn the
city Of Richmond. It was with him and
bliss Constance Cabei that Miss Morton com-
peted; and it was because Miss Cabel and
Miss Morton read almost if not quite as
we'll as the successful boy that the commit
tee (hayiDg but one priz3 to award in this
grade) thought it proper to make "honora-
bic mention" d" of them. .-./

was offered by her teacher (sllss Whitiug)
for 8" good reader' in her own class, and
by Messrs. Kelley, Binford, and McGllvray
it was awarded to her rs !" fine reader"

TOBACCO MILLS AND THEIR HIsToRY-JM-
PoRTANT PATENT. RlGuTs CASE DECIDED
The time OF the United States Court (Judge
Hughes presiding). from Wednesday morn.
ing to Saturday afternoon, was occu pied
each day from 10 4. NJ. to SP. M. with the
trial OF the suit of G. +. Mark, Of Peters.
burg, UerSus II. Nj. Smith E Co., Of Rich
mond, for the alleged infringement OF the
plaintiffs patent for.hS mill for fatteuing and
pressing manufactured tobacco as used under
hydrsui!c presses. The defence insisted that
MIR. Marks's mill contained no new features,
and tnat all of its parts iron back, wood
Sinkers, iron Suker-pateS, With the plates
secured to the iron back by rivets-have
been used in the same combination in Rich
mond and Lyncbburg for twenty or thirty
years-certainIy long before 1866; and that
fhe patent is void for want of novelty.
Messrs. Charles Talbot, james N. Talbot,
Lewis RarneS, and other witnesses testified
that they, previous to the war, had
made substantially the same mill for
which Mr.. Marks clsims to hold a
patent, and that they had seen similar mills
manufactured by 81. III. Smith as early as
1S46-'4T. Frames made by Mcssrs. Smith,
Talbot. and others from ten to twenty years
ago were produced in court, having, in the
main, the same features for which Mr.. Marks
claims to hold patent. Mr. James Hlrd-
grove testified that one of the frames shown
10 court belonged to mill which was 10 use
by bis father as far back as witness could re.
member, and was still sometimes operated
in the factory Of his brother and himself
The case was argued at great length by
counsel. The jury, having been instructed
by Judge Iughc', retired at halt-past
O'clock, and at hal-past 3 o'clock returned
with general verdict for Fl. N. Smith &
Co., on the issues agreed upon by counsel,
stating that as to tue merits Of the case they
found the gencral verdict for defendants On
The ISSUES, bu. were not agreed upon the
question whether the second claim (using
tie iron b3ck, with wOoC-Sinkcr and iron
>inker plates, With sinker-plates secured to
the back by iron livets,) on the patent was
8 new invention.
