Last fall the disease had arrived at that state thai
must have relief die. The entire membranous
system had been so infamed, and the stomach so
disordered, that ii was doubtful matter whether
could go to the Pacific coast, if did go whether
[ should live to come back or not. l saw adver-
tisement of this medicine, and although being very
l-credulous about specifics or nostrums OF any
kind, yet in sheer desperation tried this and al
once was benefited by it. The changes of climate,
chronic disease of the liver, and my age-over 20
may prevent my entire restoration, but the bene-
fit derive from iIs daily is to me invaluab
and am hoping be completely cured and at last

object in writing this note will ne ttained.

Bankruptcy Secession.

The following, taken trom the Richmond
Dispatch, vas alluded to in yeserday's Ga.
zette. In tie the case OF the State Bank Of Fir
GINA VS.. N. f. Wilson, bankruptcy to
the supervisory jurisdiction Of the United o'ates
Crcui, Court for the Eastern District of Viz
GINA; Judge B nd, al Richmond, on Wedncs
day rendered the following decision:
Wilson, voluntary baakruDt, seek his dis
charge, which is res sted by the csc :ltors b
cause, as they allegr, his assets are not equal
to thirty per oenum of the claims proved
against his estate.
1t seems that the bankrupt reiurucd 10 his
schedule property 10 amouat equal to he debt,
proved against him, but he cl;,l ned its posses
sion as homestead exemption under he STAT
ute Of Virginia which clalm was allowed him
by the bankrupt court.
Assets within the meaning Of the ninth Sec
ton Of the bankrupt act are the proceeds OF toe
bankrupt's property which comc loto the hands
of his assignee and are appcabla to the pay
meut of his debts.
Here manfesty nothing came into the as
sigoee's hands available for that purpose. II
the bankrupt vas entitled TO bold this proper
ty exempt from liability for bis debts, as the
District Court determined h. was, how can it
be considered assets applicable tor the payment
of those debts
II stranger had been entitled to the posses
sion of it, certainly it could not be regarded as
asset 10 the hands of the assignee. How does
the case differ when the bankrupt is entitled TO
hold it exempt from liability for the payment
of his debts? Cau that tie said 20 he available
for the payment of debts, v hch the law says
shall be exempt from liability for such pay
mcnt?
The District Court allowed the bankrupt's
discharge, but we think as the assent of credi
tors is DOT alleged, aud no assets whatever cam
into the hands of the assignee applicable to the
payment of his debt, the decree of the Distric
Court granting the bankrupt his discharge
must bs reversed With costs.
