A Complicated Case at Law.
From the Toledo tohio) Commercial

From the Toledo tOhio) Commercial
A most complicated and curious case OF
law was that which was told representa-
tive of the press some time ago By well
known lawyer, who is one of the attorneys
for the parties in question, and which for
genuine entanglemept beats anything heard
of for some time. It appears that a person
who may be called "a" had become so
hopelessly in debt that he was obliged to
give two mortgages to two different PER
sons upon his household effects, and but q
short time after giving the mortgages ne
went into bankruptcy, but just before fling
his petition he took part Of bis mortgaged
property, piano, and sold it to Mr.. &C."
Nr. "B," the first mortgage, then replev-
led the piano, as he had mortgage upon
the whole property, and did not care to let
the main part be taken and sold. The wife
of the purchaser Of the piano then repley-
led it from the second mortgage, on the
ground that she had bought the piano and
not her husband. The second mortgage
then commenced an action against all par
ties who have an interest in the complica-
tion against the appointment of receiver,
who would take all of the property into his
possession, piano included, this making in
fact three actions between the same parties
for the same piece of furniture. All parties
are awaiting developments with deal OF
interest, as ONE Of the actions has been
tried before Justice appealed from the
verdict to the Common Pleas Court, so
that in reality, al three are yet TO como
] before proper Judges.

Tame Birds.

A correspondent of Land and Water
gives these interesting instances of the
tameless birds: had jackdaw that used
to follow the carriage for miles when we
drove out in the county, but If we went to
town, about mile and half distant, Jack
would remain en- the walls of the old castle,
outside of town, until we returned, and then
fly round and round the pony's mead, final
ly alighting on the splash board. II we
met any other conveyance be always few
into the hedge. likewise bad little blue
tit, who used to s,rtle on the tall trees near
the house, and come down when called,
alighting often on my head or shoulders
A lady acquaintance Of mine, had, she says,
a canary SO tame that it used to pull hair
out of her curls to line its nest with. This
very severe winter has tanned the wild birds
in this neighborhood. My window is con-
stantly besieged by them; robins. finehes,
sparrows, and blackbirds come flying up di-
rectly it is opened, for am in the habit OF
feeding them during frosty weather. One,
redbreast, is the master. He is such
greedy little fellow; he eats his fill and then
sits on the plate. keeping all the other birds
at bay, and uttenng such shrill shrieks
am often obliged to go and drive him of so
that they may come and pick a few crumbs
up. A young friend OF mine put whole
loaf ont, half qnartern cut in two. and It
was so amusing TO see Bobby, after the
birds had picked out the crumhss ersconce
himself in the shell, and scream ont def
ance to all his companions.

A Prolific 2 slca Wr ter.

LOHuUH
In the late NJ. Clairville, the well known
dramatist, who died a few days since.
France has lost an estimable man a most
prolific and versatile writer, while the
English stage in general, and English
dramatic authors in particular, may mourn
the passing away OF constant, although
not always gratefully acquitted benefactor.
He was in bis sixty-ninth year, and had
essayed the sock and buskip before he bad
devotsd himself to the pen, having made
his first app a ance on the stage at the lit
tle theatre on the Luxembourg when he
was only ten years cf age. he acted and
wrets for the house in question during a
period of eighteen years, and subsequently
became manager of the Ambigu. He is
said to have produced in all 600 comedies
and farces, some written single-handed,
and the rest undertaken in conjunction
with Nj. Dennery and other collaberateurs.
His very latest productions were like W Sc
bis most successful works, to-Hlt: La
File de Madame Angot and Les C1ochss
de Cernepille, which" continue to charm
English as well as Partisan audiences, and
in which ,he symmetrical construction and
frolicsome dialogue of the dramatist lend
grace and strength to thu vivacious music
of the composer. M. Cla:rvllle was, his
long life Though aD essentially comic
writer. 1t was simply his business to
make play 6 1ers laugh, aad continuously
admirable did he show himself to his voca-
tion. He mast have made in his time the
fortune of score Of minor theatres and
the fame Of fifty low comedians and many
soubrettes- Ofdroll equivoques and laugh
able entanglements bs seemed to have an
inexhaustible supply. He rarely repeated
himself, and when, as occasionally hap
pened, he borrowed his plots from novels,
he made the farces ON which they were
founded much funnier than the romances
themselves.

Iml ,rtant Decision to Farmers.

The Supreme Cou:t OF Minnesota holds
that notes given in payment for agricultu-
raj and other machin cry are not negotiable
commercial paper. The decision was given
in the case of the Third National Bank of
Syracuse, New York, against Daniel Arm
strong, which was filed on the 18th inst,
and it will fx and determine the exact
status of large numbers of notes, leases, re-
ceipts and certificates how afloat in the
State, to which farmers signatures are at
tached, and amounting in the aggregate to
a vast sum. The case in question was tried
in the district court of Ramsey county and
Judgment wa ordered for the defendant.
The plaintiff then appealed to the Supreme
Court, which has affirmed the decision of
the court below. The note given by the
defendant was to the Williams Mower aud
Reaper Co., and it pr,sides specially that
the said company should not transfer their
right and title TO the property for which it
was given until full payment of the note
and interest. This proviso the company
disregarded and transferred the note TO the
bank mentioned, treating it in all respects
as an ordinary promissory n ote, which the
conrt decides it was not WinoHG Rspa5-
lisan.

Taintness and It's Causes.
Cassel's Household Guide,

Cassel's Household Guide.
Faintness consists in tt mporary failure
of the activity Of the heart; the blood, In
consequence, is not properly circulated. 1t
does not reach the head, and the patient
loses clearness Of vision and color, and. if
not prevented, falls on the floor, where,
however, or even before reaching it, he re-
covers. There is 40 convulsiou, and,
though he can scarcely be said to be con.
scious, be Is not profoundly unconscic US SO
as not to be able to be aroused, as happens
in epilepsy. There are all degrees of faint.
ness, from merely feeling faint and looking
slightly pale to the state We have described;
and in some cases ths state Of fainting is
hardly recovered frcm well before it begins
again aud az in, for hours and days to-
gether. We need hardly say that such
cases as the latter are altogether beyond
the reach of domestic medicine. What are
the causes of faintness? It is not very
difficult to describe these. Some parsons
are SO easily effected that they faint if they
cut they cut their finger, or even if they see
the cut finger Of another person. All one
can say Of such person is that their muscu-
lar fibre is not stroug, and their nerve is
sensitive. The heart, which goes Oh for
years circulating the blood, is essentially a
muscle. It is weak in some persons,
stronger in others. As a lule, it is weak in
women and strong IN men. Hence, women
faint more READILY than men. Whatever
weakens the heart and tbs muscles gene
rally acts as cause of faintness. Close
foul air is common caose Of faintness or
languidness. Anything which greatly ef-
fects the nervous 81 item, such rs bad news
or the sight Of something disagreeable or
horrible will sometimes cause fainsing.
But of all classes of fainting, none Is SO Sc
rious as the loss of blood. The muscles, in
order to act well, mu t be supplied with
blood and if the blood of the body is lost,
If it escapes from vein ep ned pun posely,
or from piles, or from The source from
which mepstruation proceeds, in excessive
quantity. then fsintpefs will happen. The
degree Of it will depend on the constitution
and the amount Of blood lost. A loss Of
blood that would scarcely be felt by one
person will be serious cause Of fsintness
to another Sometimes frequent fainsness
arises from becoming very fat, the muscular
system of the b. a t being impaired by fat
dep ,sit.
