The torpedo has been heretofore supposed
to be the most fol- midable weapon in marine
warfare. but il the expectations of the de-
signer, NJ. Olivier, OF Paris, of the new SUBJ
merged vessel are realized,it will far surpass
the stationary torpedo in efficiency. This
boat can either float ON the surface, or, by
means of an arrangement Of wings or fms
at the bow, be made to descend under water
to any required depth. Provision is made
for the respiration of the occupants, who
can guide it at their pleasure. Such q craft
would be able to approach an iron-clad, fix
its torpedo, and retire unsupported, without
presenting any vulnerable. point to the ene-
my's fire, even if observed. Should this in
vention be found capable Of executing all
that is claimed for it, no doubt it would
prove terrible foe to the large armor- plated
ships which have cost such huge sums of
money.

IMPORTANT DECISION. Farmers Ma
tional Bank Of Salem vs.. J. B. Snoiiffer. sc.
The Bank purchased Snouffer's note at
twelve per cent. discount aud sued on it.
The defendant put in plea to the effect
that the plaintiff was a banking association,
created under an act OF Congress, and had
no powers except such as the act gave it,
and that whilst the act gave the bank au-
thority to discount note, or to lend money
on note, at lawful interest, it gave the
bank no authority to traffic in notes by pur-
chasing them at u greater rate Of discount
than lawful interest, and that the bank could
not acquire any title to, and could not sue
on, note so purchased. This plea was
founded on the authority of a decision made
last September by the Supreme Court OF
Minnesota, which decision is said to be d.
rectly in point. The plea was rejected as
not making legal defence, Judge Bond be-
ing Of the opinion that the act Of Congress
does give the National banks full authority
to purchase notes at any discount. The
amount Of the note was only 81, Oh and in-
sufficient to admit an appeal.-The question
is OF vital Importance, and may be consider
ed as settled.-Salens Register. a@s

the horses, so the young ladies, to shame the
towards, said they would do it themselves,
as they knew the horse to be perfectly gen,
tie. The strips of old carpet they sewed
with coarse needles around the horses legs,
that animal regarding them the while with
an air Of thoughtful inquiry, but standing
patient and quiet while undergoing the OPP
Grafton. Next an old red couterpane was
called into play, put around the horses
body and sewed up on one side. Still fur
| tller mystifcation on the part Of the horse.
The browning act of the performance was to
pound up some glass very fine and put in
| his nostri.s. When they arrived at this
| sage the animal felt that he had reached a
point at which forbeara.ce ceased to be a
virtue. An element OF indignation mingled
| with his justification. He gave one bound
and off he started. Bewildered and annoy
| ed by the swathings around him. he flew
faster and faster, clearing fences and ditch
es as he went, while the simple rustics on
his path stopped work to gaze at the strange
spectacle Of horse so accoutered. He
roamed wild through the country several
days, spreading establishment AND amuse-
ment wherever he went. AT the end of that
time he returned home, with bits OF the car
pet and Counterpart hanging about him. He
never developed any further symptoms o.
epizootic, nor did the young ladies ever de.
| velop any further taste for testing that dis
ease. Shortly afterward they went to tn,
city for the winter, and their fashionabl,
friends and acquaintances there with whom
they participated in the enjoyment of all th
] gayeties Of the season, would have regarded

rhent Of the brain. aud yet, gentle reader.

The most deplorable creature is the one
who lays around on boxes and beats his to-
bacco and whiskey. While he should be
at work raising a few potatoes or some
thing else to eat he is planning how he can
rob some ones garden. As the laboring
men pass him he says to himself ri will
meke raise off Of your labor" Their
minds run ON nothing but swindling and
thieving and no doubt if their thoughts
were made public it would tinge the cheek
of brute. The community should rid it
self of them in some way and should not
be very particular as to how they do it
If they can be driven off all we'll and good.
but if not keep sharp lookout for them
when on their thieving career and dose them
we'll with lead. The Township Trustees
will gladly furnish burial outfit.
