SUIT AGAINST THE MONTPELIER AssoCIA-
TIoN.-Ln the Corporation Court, yesterday,
was tried the case of Douchy 4 Go. vs.. the
Montpelier Female Humane Association, q
suit brought by the plaintiffs to recover of the
defendant the sum oil s. for advertising the
Institution throughout the United States. The
plaintiffs are publishing agents, having yeary
contracts with eleven hundred newspapers IN
the different States, and in this way possess
advantages for advertising on a large scale,
which the Montpelier Association, seeking the
greatest ootoriety for its enterprise, secured,
and through the asserted Innocent agency of
Dyuohy & 20. published the illegal specula-
tiou Of 4 lottery, under the disguise OF gift
concert, over the length and breadth of the
laud The plaintiffs predicated their right to
recover upoo written contract by which the
Montpelier Ass ociation had stipulated to pay
81 600 per month for the insertion of its ad-
vertiseuent 10 eight hundred papers, and
averred performance of the contract on thrir.
part. The defense set up by the Asso ia io1
was an attempt to take advantage Of lis own
wrong by pleading that its enterprise was 10
violation Of the Constitution aud laws of the
the plaintiffs claim being founded on con
taSt W dSStct duu dUCt u SlOldttOu vi lUG
statute, the Court would not enforce such an
agreement if the plaintiffs had knowledge that
The enterprise they advertised was lottery,
and they were bouod to know that such au en-
terprlse was Inhibited and illegal aud ii they
did not know it ignorance of the law would not
excuse them. The Court instructed the jury
that if the evidence disclosed that the plain
tfs we're not advised of the true charac
ter of the scheme advertised as gift
concert the verdict should be for them, and
upon this question of fact the jury were uuable
TO agree. This is the first suit that has been
tried in Virginia court against the association,
although others are pending, and the exposi-
ton OF the law as correctly laid down by the
court iu this case adds another to the many
warnings already received by the public that
lotteries are frauds Of so dangerous character
tha' the means and agencies they adopt to &C.
c'mpisn their peiarious projects are not ex.
empt from the common lot of all who trust il
the integrity OF such schemes of being beguiled
aud cheated of their dues without conscience

Hoe VS.. DoG.-The only case worthy of
note tried by Justice Kcrbv, of Mt. Vernon
district, Fairfax county, this week, was that of
Henry Rogers, VINO sued j. w. beavers for
the value Of hog killed by a dog of the de-
fendauts while upon the defendants land:
The defendant had legal COUNSEL, who laid
down the law, but the Justice was inexorable
and decided that beavers must pay the value
of the hog, uron the ground that had the hog
committed any damages it would have been
liable for them, undcr the fence law, but that
as 20 damages by it committed had been COM
planned of, under that law the defendant was
liable for its value.
