ODinion of The Court Jy Judd. j.

Opinion IF the Court by Judd, j.
The plaintiffs declaration claims twelve hun
dred and eighty-one dollars &c cents, q upon two
several promissory notes made by the said Han
Same and Ayau and endorsed by the said Wong
Kwai and payable, &C., = for which
said sums the defendants are indebted to COM
plainants for that whereas the said defendants
Han Same and Ayau by their promissory notes
dated, &c, now over aud past due, and the said
Wong Kwai as indorser thereof promised and
became liable to pay, &c. And an ayerment of
non-payment after an amicable demand.
This is demurred to by Wong Kwai as INSULT
cient.
The complaint in order to be good against the
indorser, should contain either an averment of
the performance of the conditions fixing his
liability, to-wit, demand upon the maker and
bis non-payment, and notice OF the dishOnor to
the endorser, or the excuse for the nonperlormance
of these conditions. The declaration contains
neither allegation. But it is urged that it is
apparent that Wong Kwai is liable without
demand and notice, because he has waived the
necessity Of these conditions over his own lndors-
ment, as may be seen by copies of the notes
which are affixed to the declaration.
The notes are not recited in full in the body of

The Mute Appeal.

This subject represents a beautiful Italian girl. dressed in
her native costume. She is what. is known as a Street Music
ian, and earns her livelihood by her violin and voice. She
has played and song TO the crowd, and has quietly folded her
right arm over and around her violin, while her left arm is
o~utstreched, thus mutely appealing to the public to give her
what they may. Ii is a lovely picture. The girl, though only
a strOlhng player, Is rarely beautful-the sweet, beseechinr
expression of the face could but make the most sordid find the
way into their pockets, and give her a few pennies. 1t is one
Of the richest pictures we have seen for many a day. Ii is
brought out in Oil Colors, and is equal in every respect, to
any oil painting, and few can tell whether Ii an Oil Chrome
or an Oil Painting, so faithfully il is reproduced. To see it is
to fall in love with itat once, and every one who sees it, will
have IL.

Myers at Chickies station, on the Pennsyl
vania railroad. between Columbia and Ma
rietta, was broken into by thieves who car.
ried off about $500 worth of merchandise.
mostly dry goods. In this building is the
ticket Office of the railroad company and a
small sum of money was stolen
from it. No tickets are missing.
The whole store was turned topsy-

spent some time in it. They went up
stairs. and, after emptying a sack Of pea
nuts on the floor took the sack
and carried a lot of the stolen
goods off in it. The thieves first
broke into the tool house Of H. NJ.

the store. The store is situated near the

did their work while trains were passing.
