man, who hitherto had appeared to be only
vexed, now began to show evident signs Of
anger, and demanded to know 'who done
that?,, The person addressed, innocently an
swered-'I can't tell 1 don't know the hand

ded the rexasperated wizard, S'do you iccall
that paint handwriting? And to think that
they should have painted my horse all over in
this manner p Here the 'boys'' took coca
sion to add insult to injury, by persisting
that the horse was paintedzon only one side,
and that which was seen on the other side,
was simply owing to the thirmess and trans
parency of the animal. By this time the lights
were all out and the audience" quietly dis
persed, each feeling that he chad got the worth
of his money! while the Snowman vigorously
applied soap and water to his decorated horse,
and it was not until up in the day on Tuesday
that he was able to make his departure, fully
persuaded that his efforts were not appreciated
by a YOrkville audience.

astute scientific person would have his ideas
of locality totally confused by being tied up
in meal-bag and carried twenty miles from
home and let out in strange neighborhood
in the middle of the night. The experiment
has, however, been tried upon cats Of only
average abilities, and the invariable result
has been that the departed animal has reap
peared at his native kitchen door the next
morning. This wonderful skill in travelling
through unfamiliar regions without guide
book or compass, has suggested the possibil-
ity of cats being used as special messengers
Recently thirty.seven cats, residing in the
City of Liege, were taken in bags long dis
tance into the country. The animals were
liberated at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At
GAS the same afternoon one Of them reached
his home His feline companions arrived at
Liege somewhat later; but it is understood
that within twenty-four hours every one had
reached his home. 1t is proposed to estab-
lish, at an early day, regular system of cat
communication between Liege and the neigh
boring villages.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Amongst the opinions of this tribunal, re-
Gently filed, is that in the case of the Execu'
tors of w. l. Clawson IS. A. E. Hutchison,
which went up from this circuit upon the ap
peal of the defendant from a Judgment en-
tered against him at the last term OF Court.
The defendants wife had, before her marriage,
executed her note to w. I. ClaWson as the adj
ministrator of J. P. Dunlap. 1t was conceded
that the defendant was liable for this debt
under the law as it stood at the time OF his
marriage in 1863, but it was contended, on
his part, that the act of the Legislature OF
1870 declaring that husband shall not be liza.
BILE for the debts of his wife, contracted prior
or subsequent to her marriage, operated to
discharge him Of this liability. The plain
tiff s position was that this statute was pros
pective only This latter view was adopted
by the Court, and the appeal was accordingly
dismissed.

We would direct attention to the card of
Prof. N. Schmitt, who is now on visit to
Yorkville. He is we'll known throughout this
State, in which he has lived for the past twen-
ty-fve years; and though the present is his
first visit to Yorkville, he finds acquaintance
here, who endorse him as gentleman and a
skillful and reliable tuner of pianos and Or
gans His prices are reasonable, while if he
does not give satisfaction he makes no charge.
We speak from our own knowledge of one
piano he has repaired and tuned since he came
here, making it, in tone and action, equal to
a new instrument.

dered. In the afternoon he was removed to
his home, where he fingered in an unconscious

he died. Mr.. Kuykendal seemed i'll perfect
health when he started from his home on
Saturday morning. He was aged about 90
years.
