There is an eccentric old man living in this city,
who is a sort of a monomaniac upon postal cards.
At all times he carries fifty or more of these in bis

to business to do, it has to be done on a postal
card. A postal card is used in writing his private
affairs. This man is christian, bu. he got o,f
quite joke the other day, that our quick wtted
readers will not fail to see. A Young man, aware
of his habits, says to him in facetious ma9Rer:

man looked earnestly at him for q few moments
and then replied in solemn manner: postal
cards are only paper, young man; you nor | can
never use them there"

PITT alege, the def. refuses to account for. The
action has been pending 10 court five years and
the notes aud interest now amount TO about ST. $50
The ptf says he has paid Whitmore all his liabili-
ties 10 him, for which the notes have been held as
security. After opening the case and partly ex-
amining one witness, it became apparent that the
transactions to be investigated were somewhat
! duplicated, and required more accurate figuring
than jury could hestow upon them. Questions
OF law are also involved in the case. The Judge
therefore advised the parties. to withdraw the case
from the jury and submit it to some competent
referee. The parties acted accordingly ard re-
fered the to Judge Walton to be heard at
some future time.

ground that the tax title hell by Hazelton was
