Rules Governing the Transfer of Stocks.

A case was recently decided by the
Supreme Court of this State, which an
nounced rule governing the negotia-
b1lity and transfer of certificates of stock
in corporations, which is of the utmost
importance to the business community.
The rule established is so technical and
exacting in its requirements that those
dealing in this kind of personally will do
well to obtain a correct understanding
of the full scope of the decision. The
case referred to is that of the Farmers
National Gold Bank vs.. William G. Will
son. On January 2, 1879, one Shartzer
was the owner and holder of eight shares
of the capital stock of the Home Mutual
Insurance Company, which he trans
ferred on that day to the bank as collat-
eral security for loan. The stock was
allowed to stand on the books of the
corporation in the name of Shartzer.
Wilson, knowing nothing about the
transfer of the certificates to tho bank,
attached the stock in o suit brought
against Shartzer. Wilson followed up
the attachment with judgment, and on
execution was proceeding to sell the
stock through the Sheriff, when the
bank obtained an injunction stopping
the sale until its right to the stock could
be determined. In passing upon the
merits of the case the Supreme Court
holds that certificates of stock may be
transferred by Endorsement either. to
purchasers or PLEDGES, and the transfer
will be good against an attachment
against the party in whose name the
stock stands recorded on the books of
the corporation. In other words, rs
one can tell by looking at the books of a
corporation who are its stockholders,
and must fluid the certificates if they
want to make sure of an attachment.
An unrecorded transfer of certificates of
stock, therefore, is good against an at
tachment levied on the stock standing in
the name of the transferer on the books
of the corporation. The Supreme Court,
however, holds that if the person to
whom the certificates have been trans
ferred allows the attaching creditor of
the person tran sferring the stock, and
in whose name the stock stands on the
books of the corporation, to sell the
stock at Sheriff's sale to ii person who
knows nothing about the transfer of the
certificates of stock, the purchaser will
then get a better title to the stock than
the holder of the unrecorded certificates.
This decision makes certificates of stock
transferred from hand to hand by in
dorsement, without any change of own
ership being made on the books of the
corporation, good as against all attach
ments against the recorded owner, but
not good against one who purchases
stock at the sale of the stock by the
Sheriff, without having been notified of
the transfer of the certificates.-SGn

Pumpkins and Squashes.

These are neglected crops in most
parts of the West where corn can be
grown to good advantage. In the East
thew receive much attention and are
used not only for the food of men but
for animals. They are planted in corn
fields and on broken ground that can not
be tended with implements drawn by
horses. Boiled pumpkins are excellent
for fowls and hogs. Raw pumpkins are
readily eaten by all the animals gener-
ally kept on farms. They are specially
valuable for mich cows at the season
of the year when grass becomes short
and they have little disposition to eat
hay. They help fill the gap between
green and dry food. Squashes are in
most respects preferable to pumpkins.
Their meat is richer and they may be
kept longer. There is little trouble in
keeping some of the ''hardshell'' va
rieties all winter. Long-keeping varie-
ties of squashes are now articles of COM
MERGE and shipped to Eastern markets
in quite large quantities. Lately some
have been exported, and it is thought
that there will soon be a considerable
foreign demand for them. Bakers in
cities buy them in large lots for making
pies. Squashes that are suitable for
baking furnish the best substitute for
sweet potatoes in places where the latter
can not be raised.-Chicdgo Times.

Uncle Sans Men.

Uncle Sans letter-carriers are = hardwork-
ing set of men, and are liable to contract rheu-
matism because of the constant exposure to
which they are subjected. Calling at the
Post-offfce the reporter had a pleasant CONVEX
sation with Mr.. J. H. Mattern, one of the
most popular and clever letter-carriers in In
dianapois. Mr.. Mattern said that, while In
the army during the civil war, he sprained one
Of his ankles, which was always worse in the
spring during the period of the rapid changes
in the weather. He did not find much relief
from the several remedies he applied. But
two years ago he hit upon st. Jacobs OH, and
experienced wonderful relief from its use.
Several applications of the Great German
Remedy relieved him entirely. The reporter
talked with others among the letter-carriers
and found that the Great German Remedy was
popular in the Post-office. They use it for
sore feet, rheumatism, ETC., and praise 1t high
ly.-Indianapo1is (Iad.) NeUs.

"A Fargo, Dakota, paper says: To
the thousands of farmers who, from
year to year, have fattened stock on
timothy or Hurd grass, it will perhaps
be interesting to know the origin of its
name. A century or more ago wealthy
gentleman living near Albany, N. Y,
had imported the first seed of that grass
ever brought to this country. The gen
tleman's name was Timothy Hurd, and
his neighbors, after testing the merits of
the grass, gave it the name of him to
whom they were indebted for its intro
duction into the country.

The Established Church in Vermont.

Few people are aware, speaking OF
taxation, that Vermont has an ''Estab-
lished Church," for whose support the
people are Indirectly taxed. Yet such
is the case. In the original charter OF
The ssNew Hampshire Grants" from
George Ill, through Benning' Went
worth, the last royal Governor of New
Hampshire, it was stipulated that one
lot i'm each town should be set apart for
the Society for the Propagation OF the
Gospel in Foreign Parts, one for the
SUPPORT 0 the first settled minister,
and one for public schools. Many years
ago all these lands were leased IN per-
petuo at what were fair rates then, but
very low to-day, the rental to be In lieu
of all taxes. For many years past the
rental has been much less than the
taxes would amount to, and hence the
sslease-lands," as they are called, are
very desirable, and are much sought
after. Near the beginning of the pres
emit century the venerable society above
referred to transferred its interest In
the lands to the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and the income from them
about S3, OOO-is paid to the Treasurer
of the diocese. These lands, together
with those sequestered to other rellg-
ions objects and the public schools, ag-
grecate nearly 100000 acres, the annual
income from which is about $32,OOO.-

A Mean Husband.

Many of the singularities of the Jew.
ish question in Russia are due to the
autonomy in some respects enjoyed by
the Jewish communities there. For ex.
ample, they have their own marriage
laws-the marriage laws of the Talmud,
that is, and of the ancient Hebrews. In
accordance with these laws divorce is a
very easy matter. Husband and wife
have but to agree to separate, attend be-
fore the Rabbi, and the thing is done
the ceremony, consisting solely in the
handing of the s'bill of divorce to the
woman. Under these circumstances
strange things sometimes occur. A few
months ago a young Jewish girl, an
orphan, arrived in Odessa, intending,
as many young Jewesses do, to obtain a
situation as sistant-housekeeper in a
Jewish family. While looking for a
place, she was recommended to stay
with respectable middle-aged married
woman, whose young husband was away
Jewess soon wound herself into the con-
that the young girl would have dowry
of some 500 rubles whenever she mar
ried. Thereupon she formed bold de-
olSu. SHC pCI Su1luCo CAC XII W udII
instead of going into service, promising
to procure a suitable husband; an un-
dertaking not uncommon among Jews.
When her own husband returned from
his journey she impaired to him her
plan. He was to divorce her, marry
the young Jewess, secure her 500 rubles,
and then, divorcing the new bride, re-
turn to his first spouse. After seeing
the promised bride, the husband agreed.
The divorce was given; the marriage
took place; and then the husband, per-
fectly content with his new partner, re-
fused to divorce her. Furious at this
breach of promise, the divorced wife
summoned him before the Chief Rabbi,
Schwabacker. He, however, pro-
nounced the divorce binding and the
marriage valid. But as a solatium he
decided that the disappointed woman
was entitled to commission of twenty
five rubles, or per cent. of the dowry,
for having acted as ''schadchen," or
marriage -broker!-S. James, Gazette.
