An Important Decision.

The supreme court of Massachusetts
has sent down rescript in the case of
tho Citizens National bank vs.. Rich
mond. This was suit to recover on a
note for $500, made by Lucius W.
Pond, of Worcester. 1t appears that in
August, 1876, Pond applied to the de-
PENDANT to indorse the note, being a
note for $500, and the defendant in
dorsed it for Ponds accommodation.
Pond therenpon, by the use of chemi
Gals, rendered invisible the words +" five
hundred and the figures 1900" and
wrote over them the words "two thou
sand," and the figures 10000" Pond
then procured the plaintiffs bank, in
the ordinary course of business, to dis
count the note, and the bank did 80,
beng entirely innocent of the fraud.
Before this note became due Pond was
arrested and imprisoned for large
lumber of similar transactions. The
plaintiff bank, after the maturity of the
note, applied to the writing which set
forth the amount for which the note
was given solution of nutgalls, and
this application revealed that the change
had been made from $500 to $4,000.
The defendant was present and did not
object when the nutgall was applied.
The note was demanded and protested
as a note for $500 and for 1000, and
the defendant was duly notified as an
indorser by two notices, one treating
the note as $500 and another as n note
for $4,000.
The case was tried in the superior
court for Worcester county, and the
court ruled that the plaintiff could not
recover, and the plaintiff alleged excep-
tons. The supreme court has given
judgment for the defendant, holding
that "the defendant never made the
note for 50, ZOO, which was the only one
that the plaintiff accepted"

BY the President Of tho United States:

by the President OF the United States:
From year to year We havO been acous-
toned to pause IN our daily pursuits
aud set apart time to offer our thanks
to Almighty God for the special bless
ings He has vouchsafed to MS, with ous
prayers for continuance thereof. We
have at this time equal reason TO he

and for tho many material blessings His
bounty has bestowed. In addition to
these favors accorded to us as indi-

fury ago has been enabled to fulfill the
purpose of its founders in Offering an
asylum to the people of every race, So
curing civil and religious liberty to all

], Ulysses s. Grant, President of the

lar occupations, to assemble in their no.
spective places of worship and observe
such day as a day of thanksgiving and
rest.
In witness whereof I have horeunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF the

our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy six, and of the independence

A Mystery Solved.

The mystery of the murder of little
Maggie Bauer is unraveled, and the
Murderer is in She Jamaica L. ~ Jail.
Among those arrested for the crime was
Frank McConachi, otherwise known as
Frank Connie. He was arrested several
weeks ago but discharged. Not salts
fed, tho detectives arrested him again
and took him to where the body was
found. The prisoner trembled violently
and completely broke down, and made
full confession, not only of the crime,
but of the manner in which he COM
mitted it. At the request of the detec-
tive he showed others, who were near
by, the spot where the deed was COM
mitted, and the way in which he accom-
plished it. His narration is as follows ]:
On the afternoon of the fourteenth Of
August lie was in cornfield when
Maggie went to show Kate Hoffman the
way through the woods to the Valley
Stream depot. He saw them both go
past the cornfeld, watched Maggie's re
tnrA, and as she got opposite to him,
he sprung ont at her, and grappled her
by the throat to prevent her from
making noise, the poor child mean
while crying Ma! Ma |"
At this point in the confession the
mother of Maggie, who was present,
sprung upon the prisoner with the
ferocity of tigress and grappleu him
by the throat. The officer took her off.
McConachi added that after choking
Maggie he kept his grasp upon her
throat, and carried her through the
cornfeld to the. woods, where he at
tempted violence, and crammed leaves
and tho corner of her bonnet into her
mouth-tving the strings together
around her neck. He also took her
waist ribbon and tied it tightly around
her neck, which completed the work of
murder. He afterward broke down
some cedar limbs, so that he could find
the body after dark, for the purpose of
hiding it more eflectually /; but when
darkness came he was afraid to go near
the place.

" civilian Hunts " Photograph,

The New York Herald has received
photograph OF civilian Hunt" the
companion OF Tweed. II Ia an admirable
portrait Of gentleman who has had lit
tie or nothing to do with city politics,
and who ia only personally known to
the relatives Of Mr., Tweed and limited
circle of his personal friends Mr..
Arthur Ambrose McGinnis, OF New
Orleans, the son in-law Of Mr.. Tweed,
aud who became familiar TO tho people
OF Now York on his marriage with Miss
Tweed, on the thirty-Arst OF May, 1871.
The appearance Of tho bridegroom ut
this historic wedding is thus described
by one OF our contemporaries
"The groom was attired In full dress
OF black broadcloth, his coat having
lining Of white satin. He wore white
kids, white satin nccktie, bunch OF
white flowers, tied with white satin rib
bon, in his button hole. and diamond
shirt studs. This wedding will prob.
ably never be forgotten in Tammany
political circles"
The bride received more than $780,
600 worth of gifts, and in the list of
those who presented these gifts, pub
llSucu III uuo 1ICFutu uuo uuy ufUtC
the day after the marriage, are names
that suggest to-day quite other men,
cries than the gay and festive scenes of
that memorable evening.
Judging from this photograph the
bridegroom has seen days OF WEAKNESS
and great anxiety-that jovial, fresh,
lightsome manly expression that was
characteristic of his features in happier
times has given place to indifference as
to personal adornment and careless
hess AS to his fncial expression that will
DO instantly remarked upon by those
who know him only in the year of his
marriage. The much-mootcd topic as
to who was the companion Of Tw, ed in
his travels is now set at rest, and the
son-in-law of the Boss will become the
hero OF the hour rs the companion Of his
fathes-in-la in some of the strangest
adventures of his adventurous lie.

SAD Accidental lamentable &C il
dent happened the other day in the deer
park at Coombe Abbey, Warwickshire,
England, the seat of the Earl of Craven.
A number of gentlemen and servants
were engaged in catching deer for trans
portation into Scotland. The naodus
operandi was to drive the animals into
q net which had been placed around the
woods, and boy thirteen years of age
was attempting to stop fine buck, when
it jumped at him and pierced one of it's
antlers through his temples into the
brain. The boy was removed to q cot
tage close by, in dying state. Several
other rough accidents happened during
the day.

Wet rest lands by being cleared Of
timber become dry, and streams fed
from such sources become almost ex-
tinct, as civilization encroaches ON wild
woods. The excessive dampness of
crowded gardens is not singular, and
still less is it strange that buildings COW
cred with vines. whose windows are
choked with shrubs, and whose roof is
overhung with branches of trees, should
be intolerably damp, and VIII n the
good housewife is scrubbing, securing.
and brushing, and nevertheless marvel
ing that her house is 80 infested with
mold, she hardly suspects that her
troubles would be more easily removed
by the ak or saw, than by all her cloths
and brushes. A house should never be
closely surrounded with shrubs. A free
circulation OF air should be maintained
all about it, and shade trees SO disposed
as to leave large openings for the light
and sun to enter.
