FULFILLMENT i.

Sometimes, think, the things We see
Are shadows of the things TO be;
That what We plan. We build
That every hope that hath been crossed,
And every dream we thought was lost
In Heaven shall be fulfilled
That even the children OF 3 !, brain
Have not been born and died IN vain,
Though here unclothed and dumb;
but on some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied eyermore,
And wait for us to come.

ried.
Squire Fuller was called, who seeing at
a glance that it was no ordinary affair, re-
quested the couple to wait moment until

when he would have them driven to his
parlor.
During Mr. Fuller's absence Squire Bu-
chanan got wind of the affair, and immedi-
aely repaired to the carriage and requested
the coachman to drive to his office, and
lose no time about it, either.
The driver did as requested, and before
Fuller returned the couple were spliced.

MoRRtsrowN, Tenn, Feb. 13.-Bean's Sta
tion on the East Tennessee Railroad, about
four miles from here seems to be the win
ter headquarters for robins as they have
congregated in the cedar thickets there by
the million. Hunters slaughter them there
in great numbers, moving on them with
lighted torches, and thus binding them,
when they are easily shot or knocked down
with clubs and stones Hunting robins is
all the rage here now, and parties have been
going out every night for that purpose. One
young man went robin hunting the other
night and succeeded in knocking down over
hundred of the birds, which fell under
the tree in the darkness. When he came to
look for them he discovered that an old
SOW had been industriously eating them,
and had devoured every robin he had killed.
These birds will remain here few weeks
longer, when they will migrate northward.

THE WEBER BREWERY.
Brigel Held to be in Lawful Possess
siOn-The Contempt Decision Sus.
taiMeG

Brigel Held to be in Lawful Possess
siOn-'ahe Contempt Decision Sus-
tanned.
The case of Leo A. Brigel against Star
buck & Pfau was decided in the District
Court to-day, Judge Burnet announcing the
opinion.
He said that Starbuck & Pfau were the
| assignees of George Weber until 1877, when
they were reelected. In February, 1878,
at the instance of number of creditors,
the Probate Court appointed a meeting OF
all the creditors to select an assignee. The
Court decided there was no election, and at
another meeting, on May 18th, Brigel was
elected and approved of by the Court
An order was then given tina the former
assignees should surrender 10 Drigel all the
property. The case was taken to the Com
mon Pleas on appeal, and the appeal dis
missed. The District Court then reversed
the Common Pleas, and subsequently, the
Supreme Court reversed the District Court
decision. Brigel was put into possession.
Then Starbuck & Pau filed petition in
the Common Pleas to restrain Brigel from
taking possession. Judge Longworth grant
ed an injunction restraining Brgel from
taking hold of the brewery. This order
was not obeyed, and Brigel was fined 5000.
The case now is before this Court on the
claim of Starbuck & Pau that the Probate
Court had no right to order a second cleo
ton, and that Brigel, when he took posses
sion, was trespasser.
1t is now the opinion of this Court that
the second meeting of creditors in the Pro-
bate Court was not authorized by law, and
that the election by them was void. But
the Probate Judge had full author
|i'y to appoint or remove assignees
and had the right without an election to
remove Starbuck and Pfau and substitute
another assignee; and that the effect of the
order of the Probate Court was to remove
Starbuck and Pau and appoint Brigel and
to order them to deliver up possession, and
upon their refusal the Sheriff was ordered
to put Brgel in. The Probate Judge had
the right at any time to remove an assignee
for good cause. and it was
not necessary the record should
show what the cause was. The judgment
of the Court could not therefore be treated
as void act and Brigel, in taking possess
sion, wasnot trespasser and another Court
could not by injunction restrain him from
exercising the right legally conferred on
him. The judgment of the Common Pleas
was therefore reversed.
In reference to the proceedings against
Brigel for contempt of Court in disobeying
the order of Judge Longworth, this Court
held there was violation of the order by
Brigel and the judgment of Judge Long
worth in infcting the 5000 fine must be
sustained,

WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-Mr. Hale demand

Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana, rose to question
of privilege, and moved to take up the CON-
tested election case of Finley against Bisbee
from the Second Florida District.
Mr. Robbins, of North Carolina, made the
point that his sugar bill was in order.
Mr. Atkins appealed to the House to
stand by him for the Legislative Appropria-
ton Bill; Unless the bill was got through
this week he did not see how anything
could be done with the sundry civil bill,
which involved nearly $30OOO,O0O.
On vote by tellers the motion to take
up the election case was defeated. Where
upon the yeas and nays were demanded.
Mr.. Price, of Iowa, said that if the cleo
ton case was taken up there would be at
least five hours required. AS the roll call
progressed few Democrats recorded them
selves in the negative. 1t was evident that
the motion to take up the election case was
defeated. A number of gentlemen who
came in after the roll call had been COM
pleted asked leave to vote, but the Repub-
licans objected to any one voting who did
not come under the rule.
Mr. Cobb accordingly changed his vote to
the negative, and the vote was announced
as SO yeas and 106 nays
Mr. Cobb moved to reconsider the vote,
and Mr.. Atkins moved to lay the motion
on the table. The later motion was re-
jected.
The question then required upon Mr..
Cobb's mo ion to reconsider the vote
whereby the House refused to take up the
contested election case and upon that the
yeas and nays were ordered
The resolution to reconsider was agreed
to by strict party vote Of 124 yeas to 119
nays.
The question then required upon taking
up the election case, pending which Mr.
Dunnell, of Minnesota, at 12:40 moved to
adjourn.
MIR. Hale, of Maine, moved that when the
House adjourn to-day il be until Saturday.
The motion was of course rejected. 1t
was then argued that the election case
should go over until Wednesday next, after
the reading of the Journal, that four hours
debate should be allowed, and that the vote
should be then taken.
The dilatory motions were then with
drawn.

COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH MEXICO.

COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH MEXICO.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The House Com
mittee on Foreign Relations has adopted
resolution authorizing and requesting the
President to appoint three commissioners to
negotiate with Mexico for commercial
treaty. The report embodies letter to the
Committee by General Marcus ]. Wright,
stating the necessity for such a treaty. he
furnished statistics of our trade with that
country, showing that we got less than one
third, and of that which we do control, the
balance is largely against us. The letter
further shows the necessity for revision OF
the Mexican tariff, protection to capital in
vested in mines and railways, and for in
creased postal facilities, an extradition law,
etc. 1t is substantially the same as intro
duced by Senator Matthews in the Senate.
