Important Rank DecLsIon,

An important decision to bankers has
recently been rendered by the Supreme
Court OF Texas. The Galveston News Of
the 18th says
The first case which has found its way
to the Supreme Court of Texas, settling
the rights OF parties under raised
checks" and the law applicable to this
species Of forgery, was decided yesterday,
Mr.. Justice Gould delivering the opinion
of the court. 1t seems that on the 18th
Of February, 1872, the Texas Banking
and Insurance Company Of Galveston
drew its sight check on the First National
Bank Of Houston in favor of d. ]. Wal
lace for twenty dollars. 1t was immedi-
ately artfully altered with the aid of
acids, and raised from twenty dollars TO
two thousand dollars, and the date
changed from February IS to February
II. About a week afterward it was pre-.
sented by D. j. Wallace at the counter
Of the First National Bank Of Houston
for payment, which was refused, Mr..
Wallace being a stranger. Wallace left,
but soon. returned, accompanied by the
assistant teller Of the City Bank OF
Houston, who identified Wallace as
the man who kent an account
at the City Bank in the name of D. j.
Wallace" Still payment was refused,
this identification being unsatisfactory
Nothing more was seen Of Wallace in
Houston. About a week after this the
same draft was presented by the City
Bank Of Houston to the First National
Bank in the morning, aud inquiry made
whether it was "geod' or "all rigbt," aud
bNing answered In the affirmative, it was
in the usual course Of the business be-
tween the two banks taken up by the
First National Bank in exchange OF
checks in the evening after banking
hours. The City Bank Of Houston had
received il from G. r. Johns & Co
bankers Of Austin. Johns d Co. had
purchased it from D. j. Wallace, the
forger, he being identified to them by
one Blackstone. The most serious diff
Guilty about the case was in the fact that
at the time this check was paid BY the
First National Bank that bank had the
monthly account current Of the Texas
Banking aud Insurance Company for the
month Of February, and it had been ex-
suined aud reported on by the book.
keeper, and in 1t the raised check, No.
1854. for twenty dollars, was credited
to the Fret National Bank. The forgery
was notin fact discovered until the next
month, April, when the check appeared
in the books Of the First National Bank
as q charge Of TOO thousdnd dollars
against the Texas Banking aud Insur-
snce Company, which further invsstiga'
lion disclosed to be the tscenty dollar

the following postal card:
My friend on the LEDGER, Oh, hol

While here we seek the shady side,
As through the streets We walk or ride.

Bring g cake Of ice ours gone to waste.
Yours truly, g. II. c.

To the above poetical postal card, our

answer:
your State is small, and your weather nice.
Yet your State can't raise q cake Of Ice
On account Of its size ID ut IL cotton you plant
Don't raise but one stalk. for more you cant
Without hiding your State till late In the

Then if your cotton is picked at all,

And be jagged for committing 4 trespSss on

POETRY.
My GaOl.
BY MARY BARToL,

How picture-like shines yonder town
Across the cleaning creek, that lies
III Like links of silver to my eyes;
Thence winds high road, up and down,
Its curving length of dusty brown;
Ihence lead green fields where barberries
GROW red, and where the sparrow flies
O.er waving grasses yet unknown;
Shall prefer this flowery way,
And scent the tansy as 60
And pluck the yarrow's bloom of snow,
And watch the mists that roll away,
Yon village ever my desire,
My gaol the distant rising spire?
Each pleasing path its line pursues,
And tempts me each its course to take;
The great high road shall | forsake?
The blossomed fields can l refuse?
No longer will doubt and muse,
But from my fantasies awake!
leave the gray rock scanned with brake,
leave the tiowers-the creek l choose;
Brave rover take me in thy boat!
My way to that opposing shore
Shall be with thine; together, DER
The mild half-tide we two will float:
Our voyage to that white spre shall tend;
What matter if unknown the end?
