storm at CornersviIIe.

A severe gale passed through the
Cornersville country last Thursday
night about s o'clock, doing consid-
cradle damage to fencing and out
houses. In some places fences were
completely swept away, together
with frail out-houses and other OBJ
jects not securely fastened nor too
ponderous. The new Cumberland
church in Cornersville was twisted
and its timbers displaced so as to
very materially damage it. 1t was
uncompleted and without window
blinds or doors, and the wind got
inside of it and wrenched it out of
place so badly that it is thought it
viii have to be taken down. The
residence Of Esq. Morgan, near Maj.
Allman's, was unroofed and his
place badly damaged. It demolish-
ed a part of Maj. Allman's grove,
and blew away Capt. Harris stable
Some horses and cattle were killed
in the neighborhood, though we did
not learn who they belonged to.

From the n o. Democrat of
April 13 we gather the facts of
very important lawsuit ably and.
successfully defended bv our towns
man, Hon. II. NJ. Spoford. The
question was one of survivorship
between a husband and wife who
persisted upon the same vessel at
sea in 1866, and the facts we're
about these: Jas. Caller by will
bequeathed to his wife certain prop
erty. Both had children by
former marriage, and the suit was
brought by the wife's heirs, claim
ing the property under the viii.
The husband was aged 6S and the
wife Al, and the complainants ar
gued that in the absence of con-
trolling facts the presumption of
law was that the wife, being the
younger and stronger, survived the
husband and took the property I'M
der the will. Some evidence was
taken showing that the wife was
actually seen alive after the husband
went down, but the defense success
fully disproved that. The report
does not say upon what point the
case went of, but the decision upon
the facts stated settles a question
which is rarely met with in the
books and which for some time was
not at rest. The old rule in Eng
land was that in contest between
the heirs of two persons who per-
ished by the same accident, one be-
ing over and the other under 60
years of age, the presumption was
that the younger survived, in the
absence of any proof; but the later
opinions say that the law does not
make any Prescriptions in such
cases, and that the burden of proof
is upon the person who alleges the
survivorship Of his ancestor. This
case must have gone off under that
rule. Judge Spoford's argument
in the case is spoken of as being a
mastery effort, which viii not be in
the least doubted by our readers
who know him.
