An Interesting Case.

In the Court of Common Pleas yester.
day there was decided case of singular
interest. The case was entitled Sallie
P. Hall vs. Lorick & IIowrance, and
originated in this manner:
Mrs. Sallie p. Hall has separate es.
tate in the hands of Colonel J. H. Rion,
and it is claimed that from the proceeds
of the estate all the personal property
was purchased and held in the name of
Sallie P. Hall, who has husband and q
large family. Her husband came to
Columbia, bringing wagon and team,
and obtained supplies for the year 1880
from Lorick G Lowrance, mortgaging
the mules as security. The crop Of that
year falling co pay the debt by seventy
five dollars, the next year he mortgaged
the came animals to secure additional ad-
vances, which he obtained for the year
1881. Supplies were obtained under
these mortgages from time to time by
different members Of the family, and at
the end of the year 1881 the balance due
the defendants was about $3.50. Two
sons Of the plaintiff having come to
town with the wagon and mules. the
team was seized by the defendants under
the mortgage. The plaintiff notified the
defendants that the mules belonged to
her, and disputed her husbands right to
mortgage them: and she further demand.
ed the return of the animals. The de.
fendants refused to return them, sold
them and applied the proceeds to the
debts secured by tho mortgages, leaving
a balance still due. The plaintiff sued
the defendants for $500 damages for
wrongful seizure and sale Of animals.
Mr. Barron, assisted by Colonel Jamea
H. Rion, conducted the plaia&f's suit,
while w. s: Monteith, Esq. managed
the case for the defendants, and managed
it, too, with conspicuous ability. So
strong were the points he established
that the Court held that if the plaintiff
allowed her husband to hold himself out
as the owner of the mules and thereby
deceive the defendants by his false po.
sition, she could not recover. The jury
quickly coipcided with this view, and
rendered verdict for the defendants.-

For Cid Times Sake.

Come in, Ben," said the Governor of
Arkansaw, addressing an old colored man
who presented himself at the door of tho
executive chamber. The old man dro,,.

Ihe old man was silent for few mo.

They struggled for few moments and
the Governor went down with a thump
that caused the Secretary of State to re.

When the Governor returned to the
executive chamber, old Ben leaped over
the fence, and exclaimed: "Dar. Fac

He had made bet with party of

DEAF AND DUAB.-Quieily entering
barber shop, the stranger removed his
hat and coat and taking O card from bia
pocket wrote on it.:
II want to be shaved"
A barber stepped forward, read the
card, and, pointing to chair, said to
his brother artists:
Deaf as brass kettle and dumb as
an OYSTER"
The man Strengthened himself out in
the chair, when his manipulation began
lathering bis face.
"This deaf cues has cheek like a
stone WALL" hs said, when q general
laugh followed.
"Stick pin In him and see IL he is
entirely dumb" said another.
The victim remaining undistufbed,
the following shots were fired at him by
the delighted tousorial artists:
HE needs shampoo, his head is
dirtier than q cess. pool"
''Shave him with O stool leg, dem.
epoil your razor on that stubble."
"Gracious, what a breathl II smells
like Dutch band of music"
'He ought to rent that nose for a 10.
comotive headlight" &c.
While all these complimentary allu.
sions were flying about him, the opera
ton of shaving was finished, and the
man arose, put on his coat, and then
turning to the astonished barber said:
"How much for the shave and com.
piiments7"
"I-I-I-I," gasped the astonished
man. ooh, nothing nothing, call again,
excuse" and, as the stranger left the
shop, the discounted BARRIERS swore they

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.-A rather
sad affair took place on one of our streets
the other day. A young lady with her
arms full of bundles emerged from a dry
goods store, when one of them fell on
the sidewalk without her noticing it.
Just behind her was q young man, aud
he quickly stepped forward to pick it up.
Now O bundle done up in q piece Of
paper with dry goods advertisement on
1t is apparently as harmless as a mothers
spanking, and there it lay as guiieless as
an angleworm on sidew ak after rain.
Just as he stopped to pick it up there was
q rustling of the paper, the twist began
to come out of the ends, and in another
instant bright red thing, q. sort of a
cross between balloon and a devil fish,
flew into the air before his eyes, and a

and the young man Strengthened himself

with face that resembled a sunset on a

SOME THINGS I HAVE NoTIcED.-I
have noticed that when horse gets up
be gets up fnrward first and Jerks his
mind parts after him, while q cow will
get her hind ner!s hslf .s e.! .:zh..S .a;, ana
draw her forward half up iu place; also.
when drinking, horse will draw in
water rapidly with every breath; the
COW, on the contrary, will suck in one
continuous draught as long az she can
hold her breath.
l have noticed that sheep and goats
are both buffers, yet sheep has to run a
few steps backward before he can butt.
while the goat hes to raise himself on bis
hind legs to execute the same movement.
One. is called the buck sheep, the other
the battering ram. They arc the only
two animals ever saw whose butt ends
are in front.
A squirrel can run down tree head
frat. Tho cat and the bear must get
down tail first (if left to themselves).
II your dog finds his way into your
cellar and sees nice piece of meat lie
will steal it and run out, but if your cat
gets In and finds steak she wilt sit right
down by it and eat what she wants (if
not surprised before).
l have noticed that leather strap
puckieu about the height of yourself
around young tree will in few years
be away beyond your reach, but If nailed
at the same distance will never ge. any
higher (oniy the outer shell runs up).
Although turkeys are much more swift
on foot than geese, yet in weeks drive
the flock of geese will come in ahead |;
tor geese you can drive at night, especial
~ moonlight, but when evening ap-
proaches turkeys will roost.

middle of room and put on his shoe,
while woman must lean I'D agajnot

A man holds the needle in his left

agree with me: Dress q man as woman

DON'T BRIGHTEN CHILpREN.-.The
Macon Graphic ,elIs the following sad
story: Those who were at the depot the
other evening might have seen q sight
that would forever have acted as a terri
bio warning against the senseless and al
most criminal practice Of frightening
children. Mr.. @. T.. Armstrong, Of
Heard County, was carrying to Miliedge.

Intelligent boy. 1t appears tha. he and
his elder brother were in their bedroom
one night, when some one thoughtlessly
or maliciously stuck horse head or
masked head Of some kind in at the win
dow, frightening the little boys so badly
that they at once lost their reason, and
shortly afterwards went blind. The older
brother was first taken to Milledgeville,
where he died, and now the younger is
going over, probably to share the came
fate. Death, in fact, would be relief
TO him, blind and idiotic as he Is.
The perpetrator of such q hideous
piece of folly will, no doubt, carry
through life the lesson thus learned and.
IL is TO be hoped that this sad story will
be circulated throughout the country and
have its due effect.

A brother who was in trade, at that
moment rose up to 60 out. Several peo.

guilty party, and he felt himself forced to
halt and observe:
