Liabilities of Landlords.

In q case recently tried at Reading,
Pa, against landlord for ejcctiug q
traveller from his ho:cl, Judge Sassa-
nun, in charging the jury, said that
ordinarily landlords Of hotels must
keep guests over night, especially after
the price for lodging has been tender
cd. On account Of different grades Of
hotels tho prices cnunot DO regulated
by any fixed rule, and must be fixed
ut the discretion Of the landlords ; and
ii the prices don't sui: the guests, they
have no other way than to leave, SO
long as the charges arc reasonable.
Unreasonable charges would not shield
the landlord.
lfa person goes into a hotel aud Of.
fcrs NJ ordinary price and behaves
himself, aud the landlord puts him out,
and damages result. tho landlord eau
be indicted, and he can DO madc to pay
the damages. II guest does not be-
have himself, although there may be
room in tho hotel, tho landlord can
eject him. If a landlord could not
have such control over his place, our
hotels would be unsafe places for res
pcctablo persons to go To-, or stop at
The hotel keeper is not bound to keep
those who refuse to pay, or arc in;o.
lent, or don't comply With the rules Of
tho house, and tho landlord has the
same control in this respect as any per.
son has in his own private house, and
tho landlord can uso as much force as
is actually necessary.
The jury in the case referred to, af-
ter being out about an hour, returned
verdict for the landlord, it being
shown that be had charged only a fair
rate which tho traveller refused to pay.

The Keynote o r Married Life.

Forebcarancc is the key motto Of u'ur-
rici life. There can BE- no great dis
cord, there can be no large divergea-
ccs from tunsfulncss, so long as the
husband forbears and tho wife forbeass.
Now this cannot DO attained without
some labor. Results are approached
gradually in character, as they arc in
making sand bill. It is grain upon
grain, shoyGlful upon shOvclful, and
load upon load, that makes tho mound
to rise. So results Of char actor come
gradually. An act at this time, 0 deed
yesterday, word this morning, word
tomorrow plorning,a cross answer to-
day, repeated a month hcacd, and so
on, till at last you find there is ridge
between you Or your wifc's or husbands
affection.

A Doctors Endurance.


Tho 0wyhco Aa'anche tells Of q
plucky Idaho physician named Peters
who, when near the house Of q Iuuu
who had been accidcntly shot, and
whom tho doctor was going to attend
was thrown from buggy and had bis
arm badly broken, Notwithstanding
which hO dressed tho patients wound,
and with bis left hand drove the team
all dsy through the heat over a rough
road to reach bic homo in Silver City
where tho broken bones Of the arm
we're set.

Wise Sayings.

The moment man is satisfied with
himself, everybody else is dissatisfied
with him.
Thelc arc many shining qualities i'll
tho mind of man, but none so useful as
discretion.
If we do not aattcr ourselves tho
flat.cry of others will not hurt US.
The man who minds his own business
has good, steady employment.
Never apologize for a long letter !;
you only add to its length.
Retiring carly at night will surely
shorten mans days.
lie speaks in his drink wha! he
thought in his drouth.
True men make moro opportunities
than they find.
An angry man opens his mouth and
shuts his eyes.

proceeded 10 take of. 1t being rather

A Beautiful Young Lady Dies After
u Surgical Operation In
0Tarylanh.

BALTIMORE, August 81 Tho death
Of Miss Ida V. Drandh aged twenty
three. which followed surgical opera
ton at the Maryland University Hos
pital yesterday. has brought to light
singular romance in real lilo. Shc
was the daughter Of James Branch,
residing near Smithfeld, Islc dwight
county, Va, and possessed c1traOrdi-
nary beauty, and was besides young
lady Of culture and refinement. ShO
WINS tho belle Of tho village. and had
many admirers.
Among others who sought her hand
was q Mr.. Ferguson, tho son Of q
neishboring farmer, to whom with
the consent Of her father Ida became
betrothel. In January last crtain
indications id tho appearance of Miss
Branch aroused q suspicion on the part
of her father that the intimacy between
them had been ofau improper oharae-
ter, and Mr.. Branch communicated
his suspicion to his daughter. The
latter earnestly denied tho imputation
and solemnly protested that her init
macy had not exceeded that Of tho
strictcst propricty. His suspicious
werc not allaycd, but subsequently
they were again aroused, and Miss
Branch was sent to her sister, Mrs.
Ferguson, at Charlottesville. TO
this lady Miss Branch made au equally
positive denial, but her physical condi-
ton was such that her father deemed
q medical examination necessary. IIo
visited Charlottesville. aud tho physi.
clan, after IN examination confirmed
his suspicious. Notwithstanding this
she again protested her Innocence, and
an examination by another ply
sician revealed the presence Of an Oy-
arian tumor. Dr.. Randolph. who
made this discovery, recommended her
removal 10 Baltimore for medical
treatment She arrived here on tho
18th inst, and Professor Johnston aud
other eminent physicians comprising
the faculty Of the Maryland Uuiycrsi-
y.
The tumOr grew so rapidly that an
operation was found necessary. Sho
was assured that the tumor would result
in death in few, mouths while the OPP
Grafton might possibly save her life. Sho
readily nsscntcd, requesting that ii sue
died post norton might DO malo in
order to establish her purity and inuo-
ceucc. The operation was performed
On Friday, and the tumor, when re-
moved, Was found to DO Of tho extra
ordinary weight Of fOrty.four pounds.
She rallied slightly, but subsequent
ly sank, aud death ensued on Saturday
afternoon. 1t was discovered that de-
composition had begun before tho tu-
NOR was removed. and that shO could
not in my case have lived moro than
q day or two. Her remains wetO taken
to Virginia for burial.

A French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages Of groan.
ing aud crying in general, and espcci'
ally during surgical Operations. lie
contends that grooming and crying are
two grand operations by which nature
allaJs anguish that those patients who
give way to their natural feeliugs,morc
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy Of man to bcIray such SYM
toms of cowardicO as either to groan or
cry. He tells Of q man who reduced
his pulse from ono hundred aud TWEEN
ty.six to sixty in the course Of u few
hours by giving full vent to bis cmO'
tons. If people arc at all unhappy
about anything, let them go to their
rooms and comfort themselves with a
loud boo.hOo. and they will feel hun
bred per cent better attcrward. In ac-
corduncc with tho above, the crying Of
children should not DO too greatly dis
cOuraged. Ifitis Systematically re-
pressed, tho result may be St. Vtus's
dance, cpilcptic fits, or some other dis.
ease Of the nervous system. What is
natural is nearly always useful and
nOthiug can DO moro natural than tho
crying Of children when anything &C.
ours to give them either physical or
mental pain.

BEREYvILLE, VA, December "a, 1877.
Editors Dispatch: In my letter of the
Goth I stated that it was probable the Bank
Of Berryville would pay depositors in full.
Examination OF the affairs of the bank has
since been made, and the supposition now is
that it will not pay over fifty per cent. to
depositors. Many of these are persons of
small means, who can i'll afford to lose.
Business in all its branches has received
q great check. Our county has suffered
greatly. First the flood Of 1870; next ter
rible drought, and afterwards the flood Of
1877; last, but not least, the failure Of the
bank Every man in Clarke who lost by
the bank has face varying in longitude
from the length OF telesraph-pole to the
length OF the Atlantic cable.
