crvsn,ao a Howard.

We take pleasure in calling the
attention of our readers to the new
firm of Crusman & Howard, whole
sale and retail dealers in groceries,
produce and liquors. This firm is
composed of Capt. j. J. Crusman
and his nephew, Capt. E. M. How
ard, who he has just admitted into
full partnership in his business.
Capt. Crusman Is too well-known to
the citizens of Montgomery county
and the surrounding section of
country as staunch, experienced
and clever merchant to need any
special mention from us. Capt.
Howard, the new member of the
firm, is young man who has long
been connected with his uncle's
house as book-keeper, and is pos
sessed of sterling business qualities
and great enterprise and energy.
Crusman & Howard make a strong
combination, and we predict for the
new firm the greatest measure of
success. They have greatly en-
larged their facilities, and now have
on hand one of the fullest and most
complete stock of goods in this line
to be found in this market. Call on !
the new firm of Crusman g. How
ard. You cannot deal with cleverer

A Rehe of 10. the Poor Indian.

We were shown the other day by
Mr.. Josh M. Rice, the clever pro-
prietor of Dunbars' Cave. rather
queer and rare relic of "Ye Olden
Time" when the native Indian
inhabited the land and roamed the
trackless forests, unmOlested by the
crowding steps of civilization. 1t
was an Indian calumet or pipe of
peace, which, judging from its size
and the engravings on it, was
doubtless the pride of some warrior
chief who enjoyed the fragrant weed
from its capacious bowl while sit
ting around his wigwam at night,
surrounded by his young braves.
This pipe was unearthed about 100
feet from the mouth of the cave,
some eight feet under ground by
workmen, whom Mr.. Rice had
making improvements on the
approaches to the cave. Although
it had thus DOUBTLESS lain buried for
years, rough engravings of turkey
gobbler, a pheasant, horse and Il
chicken-cock could plainly be trac-
ed on its sides. 1t is indeed rare
mementO of the early history of the
country.

WE would especially call the at
tention of those wishing to purchase
one of the best and most convent
emily located river-bottom farms in
Montgomery county, to the adver-
tisement of such farm elsewhere
in this issue. This farm is known
as the Bryan place and is located
ON the Southside only one and
a half miles from the city. 1t
has both railroad and river advan-
tages, has good, comfortable
dwelling, barn, stables, tenement
houses &C., as well as good water
and plenty of timber. 1t consists
of $50 acres, $50 of which is good
river bottom land, rich and pro-
ductive. There are 200 acres of fine
upland, part in timber and the bal
ance in a good state for cultivation.
The property is always in demand
for rent and pays yearly ten per
cent. on the money invested. 1t is
certainly as desirable farming land
as there is in the county. Mr..
Johnson's desire to concentrate his
means in his new manufacturing
enterprise is his only reason for
wishing to dispose of this valuable
property. Call on or address Mr..
10. T. johnson, this city.

Circuit court has been in session
here for about two weeks, closing
on Tuesday. The docket was
light and a good number of cases
were disposed of. One of the most
interesting cases on the docket, oc-
cupying the last three days of the
court, was what was known as the
HOnion Case" it being suit OF
Messrs, Mccall & Meriwether,
market gardeners, against Messrs.
Owen & Moore, of this city, agents
of d. III. Ferry d Co., seed mer-
chants of Detroit, Mich, for $500
damages for selling them defective
or degenerated onion seed. The
case is interesting as being the first
case of the kind ever coming up in
our courts, in fact, the first case of
the kind we ever remember to have
heard of.
The facts of the case in substance
are these: Some time last spring,
Mccall who tended the garden,
went to Owen & Moore and pur-
chased of them 10 lbs. of what was
printed on the package "white sill
yer skinned onion seed" The seed
were from the house of ID. M. Ferry
q Co. as above stated. Mccall car
ried the seed home and planted
them. The seed came up and were
cultivated as onions usually are,
but when the time came for their
maturity, it was developed that
they were not onion sets but what
is known to gardeners as shalots or
Ieeks. Messrs. Mccall q Meri-
wether claimed they were damaged
in the sum named and sued accord
ingly, upon the ground of an i'm
piled warranty. Messrs. Owen &
Moore, as agents of ID. M. Ferry &
Co., plead in defense that the seed
were as represented, and that the
seed were not properly cultivated
or were not the same seed.
The case was tried before a magis-
trate, judgement being given for the
defense, the plaintiffs appealing to
the Circuit court. There was much
in the case, which we
give in detail, and it was
holly contested on both sides. The
plaintiffs proved that the seed sown
were the same seed bought of Owen
& Moore as "white silver skinned
onion" seed, and that they were
properly cultivated, and that the
product was not ''silver skinned on
ion" sets, but shalots or leeks. The
defense plead in reply that other
seed of the same kind, sold from the
same lot, had produced good SSH
yer skinned onion" sets, and that
besides this there was no implied
warrants in the sale of the seed and
that the damages claimed were
remote and speculative. Col. T. l..
Yancy appeared for the plaintiffs
and Judge 81. H. LurtOn for the
defense. The jury was dismissed
by agreement of parties, and the
case heard before Judge Stark. We
did not hear the argument of coun-
sci, but they argued on the points
above.
We also failed to hear the Judges |
opinion, but learn he gave the
plaintiffs a judgment for $l27. 80 and !
costs, the $3.50 being the actual |
paid by the plaintiffs for !
the seed and 500 for the work actu-
ally done in the cultivation of the |
crop deciding against the plaint- |
ifs as TO other damages claimed, as
being remote and speculative. The |
defendants prayed an appeal to the
Supreme court. The case is de- |
interesting and important |
one, and will doubtless be fully re-
ported in the Supreme Ourtreports. |

YOUNG to Mrs. LAURA WESTBRooK.
The groom was formerly of GAINESVILLE,
Tenn. !, and has been in our midst about two
years, during which time he has made
many friends by his courteous and kind
treatment of all. He is hard-worker, n
prosperous farmer and good citizen, and
we bespeak for him a happy household.
The bride has been tor many years the
reIgning belle of this section and counted
her admirers by the score, but Mr.. Young
comes quietly among us and carries off the
prize. Both being cognizant of the fallibility
of humans and ready at all times to make
allowances for their shortcomings, we pre-
dict, and hope that their future will he one
of prosperity and happiness. They are now
comfortably settled in home of their own,
just over the corporation line, west of town.
