and had concealed that fact from
the company; third, that the court
below refused to admit in evidence to go to
the Jury the original application for insu-
rance made and signed by the assured, and
referred to in the policy on which suit was
brought as the consideration thereof, said
application having been offered by the de-
fcndant to show the Jury what representa-
tions the assured had made to the company
in order to procure the policy; and fourth,
that the court below erred in refusing to
hear any witnesses or receive any testimony
respecting the Misrepresentation alleged
to have been made rs to the cancer and the
age Of the deceased.
The action of the Court in awarding the
writ Of error does not preiudge any OF the
foregoing questions. 1t is only declara-
ton that the case is one that ought to be
reviewed.

return at once, now that his absence has
occasioned comment. His family are here.

in course of preparation an exhaust
i've wheat report, both of which
works will be Of great importance i'm
attracting immigrants from the

There Is now i'm the granaries OF
Pulaski about 10000 bushels of
wheat. The greater portion Of the
! wheat, which was made I'm that
county, is being manufactured into
flour at home. The mills run day
and night, and are making a profit
of about fOrty-five per cent. upon the
capital invested.
There Is at present living, about
four miles from Greenbrier, IN Rob

An extensive lead mine has been
discovered on the land Of DIR. j. II.

We are informed that contract has
been made by a company of miners

Of One-siXth for the privilege. The
company have been working lead
mines in the South for several years,
and speak of this as the most favor

Mr.. Thomas IL, w. James, post
master at Charlotte, Dickson county,
arrived i'm the city Yesterday, bring
ing the information that at y. NJ.
Saturday, oil was struck ON the farm
of Mr.. George Brown, seven miles
east of Charlotte. The stream was
reached at the depth Of Ave hundred
and forty-twO feet and poured cat
with great force To the height Of
nearly fifty feet. Several bOrings
had been previously made, but THIS
was the first that had the desired re-
suit. Operations on this well were
commenced about a month ago, and
were conducted under the direction
of Mr.. Gormly, of Pennsylvania
AReriodR,
About ten miles above Gallatin,
at the farm Of j. n. Malone, near
Bethpage, and on the ScOtville turn
pike, well was recently bored for
him by Mr.. =. Waters, to the depth
of one hundred and ten feet. It
turned out to be strong salt water.
A few days ago Mr.. Malone hOiled
down siXty-four gallons Of the water
and made from IL forty pounds Of
strong salt. The salt Is Of dark
brown color, but we suppose this
may be attributed to the rusty kettle
i'm which il was boiled. The water
from the well is very white and
clear. 1t is a strong stream and as
cends to within thifty feet Of the
mouth of the pipe. Gdttotta EE-
