United States Circuit Court,

BEFORE JUDGE LOWELL
MoNpAY-A K p Buffum ct ais. vs.. The Oak
land Manufacturing Co. This was bill in equity
brought to cnoin the defendant from using and sell
ing machine built for the purpose of manufaetur-
ing holdings and house cutters and planning heavy
lumber. The complainants obtained patent for
machine for making cutters in 1871, by which it
was claimed gutter could be made with or without
stopped ends, planed and nodded on its several
sides at one passage of the stock through the ma
chine. The gouging cutter-head was hung in con
necton with lever so that it could be raised or de-
pressed at the will of the operator. The machine Of
the defendant omitted of the heads found
in the complainants machine, and did not have the
lever but used the old fashioned gear and screws
for raising and depressing the gouging cutter in
making the trough of the gutter. After the defend
ants machine was built the complainants reissued
their patent and the defendant claimed that this
was done to cover defendants machine. The de-
PENDANT further attacked the novelty of the inven
tions claimed in the ressued patent upon the ground
that long before Buifums invention cutters with
stopped ends had been made ON the Myers molding
machine and the old Woodbury. four-sided planning
machine at South Boston. Much testimony has
been taken upon these points, most of which is very
conflicting The case was heard in June last and
Judge Lowell has filed opinion sustaining the de-
tense of want of novelty so far any combination
used by the defendant is concerned and djsmissinS
the bill with cost for the defendant.

one of really artistic merit Those who are
familiar with the Rogers groups in their or

beauty given as they are represented in life

Annual Reports and Election of Officer

Annual Reports and Election OF officers.
The adjourned annual meeting of the Female
Provident Association was held yesterday after
noon at City Building. The Secretary, Mrs
c. w. Coe, reported as follows.
For another year this society has gone on its
way doing good as it had opportunity, and that
its opportunities have been neither few nor
small the report of our faithful and efficient
depository will show. We cannot claim any
single large bestowal of our charities, but far
better, that we have done all the good we
could to the greatest number possible with
such means as we have had at our command,
and we rejoice that not one worthy object has
been left to suffer because OF our inability to
administer to its necessities, and hope that
through the generosity OF our friends we may
be enabled through the coming winter months
to do as much and even more for the poor and
needy among US.
AS we come here to-day, we miss and
mourn the loss of one of our number, who for
eight years had been most active and earnest
clear Judgment, and having the spirit of her
Master, she was ever ready at the call OF dis
tress, believing as she did for one Of the least
of these, His poor, she did for Him, who
though he was rich yet for our saSes became
door that we through his poverty might be
alone to give she has been taken, leaving be-
hind an example worthy of our imitation.

mine this angle of dip, long pointed
needles are mounted with small steel
axles. upon agate edges. so that the
needle can assume any position in q
vertical plane. The angle of dip is read
on a vertical circle around the needle,
which is placed in the magnetic merid-
ian. At this place the angle of dip was
found to be SO deg. 5 min. This angle
increases to the north, and becomes 80
degrees at Boothia island, in lat. 20 de-
grees north. Here the dip needle points
vertically downward, and an ordinary
compass needle will set in any position.
The above, concisely stated to US by
Professor Nipher. is the manner and
the utility of the survey. Its lmpor-
tance to science is patent, and. elabora-
ted, 1t would afford an excellent subject
for practical lecture on magnetism in
its relations to geography. All that
part of the state north of tho Missouri
Pacific railroad has been worked up. and
the survey of the southwest portion OF
the state will next be undertaken. Pro-
fessor Nipher deserves credit for his In
defatigable work in the interests ol
science, much of which is purely gratu-
itous. and we hope to see him and the
university with which he is connected
properly appreciated.
