cases: Kennedy VS.. the state; state VS.

Stratton, hearing refused. Gaines VS..
Uhl was reversed and a mandamus
awarded for $1l74. Clark VS.. Keith,
new trial was granted, because one
question of fact was not passed upon
by the jury. The court held thatit is
incumbent on the state to show either
that the identical notes sued ON or the
whole of the new issue were issued in
aid of the rebellion, otherwise the tax
collector is bound to receive it in pay
ment of taxes. Judge Cooper, in a
dissenting opinion, held that the
Judgment of the court below should be
affirmed, and even if the verdict and
Judgment below had been in favor o.
defendant this court should set il
aside, because there was absolutely nc
evidence to sustain it.

SEVERAL summers ago we had over
13 inches of rainfall here inside Of
three days. The people of the world
maryeled and many doubted. The
American minister at Paris, E. B.
Washburne, now prominent in the
Chicago convention discussion, wrote
letter here to get at the truth and
see whether or not it was SO. II
turned out to be as reported, and we
held the championship in rain gauge
circles until recently. Some weeks
ago dry spot in Georgia drew rain
clouds over it, and inside Of twenty
four hours over 8 inches of water
descended upon the earth thereabouts
Now we hear that 16 inches of rain
fell at Fort Griffin, Texas, week age
to-day. This is upwards of 1900 tons
of water to the square acre, enough tC
load one of our largest Mississippi
steamboats,. That end of Texas hal
the I'll bulge On rainfall measurement
dOr the present.
