The teacher arose and giving out the first lesson of morning prayer read, from the fifth chapter of Amos as follows: ''The virgin of Israel has fall en; she shall rise no more she Is forsa- ken upon the land there is none to raise her up" This was too much. A long-suppressed litter pervaded the school room, the teacher looked up, and the devotional exercises closed forthwith
 Adrian North professional gambler who died in Memphis last week, was member of wel-known Connecticut family. He was graduated from Yale college. His appearance and personal qualities were such that he made many friendships among orderly people. From his boyhood he had passion for gambling. The most trivial incidents were made the occasion of wager with his associates. He was heir to $50, GOO but did not make use of his money Tn gambling. He was sufficiently skillful with cards and dice to hold his own with the most practise d gamblers. For ten years North had travelled through the West, making Louisville his head quarters most of the time. His death was brought about by an extraordinary run of good luck in Memphis. In cele- brating the event with boon compan- ions, he prolonged his dabauch until he was to weak to recover.

We presamo there is hardly a lady to be 'ound in our broad land who if she does not already poss,ss a sewing machine, expects some day to ae come the owner of one.
 The household of a young Wite is how con- sldered iucon pleto without a sewing machine.
 Next to her lovcr the thought uppermost in the mind of the maiden just blooming into womanhood is sewing machine.
 When ask ked by her parents or affianced what her Christmas or birthday present shall be, the answer in | majority of cases is, "A sewlng machine "
 Bat after the mind las been fully made up to pn:chase one or these indispensable articles ti!e questioi, arises to what kind of a ma chine to buy.
 It should be so simply construct ted that the most inexperienced can successfully operate it. The other points mainly to be considered, and which arc tie most desirable, ale dura- biity, rapidity, capacity of work, ease of oper- ation, regularity of motion, uniformity of ten sion, and silence while in operation.
 The Light Running New Home'' fills the above requirements, and is said 10 combine the good points of all other sewing machines, with the addition of many new improvements and labor-saying devices.

It is sweet, savory and tender and so long as we have mule left we are satisfied our soldiers will be content to subsist on it.
 This, under the head, ''Gen Robert E. Lee Again, shows some of their more sanguine expectations:
 Again we have reliable news from the gallant corps of Gen Lee in Virginia. x Our brave men under Lee are striking terror to the heart of all Yan- keedom. Like the Scottish chieftain' s braves, Lees men are springing up from moor andr brake, crag and dale, with flashing steel and sturdy arm, ready to do or die in the great cause of national independence right and honor. To-day the mengrel administration of Lincoln, like Japhet, are in search of father for their old Abe has departed for parts unknown. Terror reigns in their halls. Lee is to the left of them, the right of them, in front of them and all around them; and daily do we expect to hear of his being down on them. Never were the French in Algeria more put out by the mobile raids of Alb Del Nader than are the Federals of Maryland, Washing ton city, Pennsylvania and Ohio by the mercureal movements of Lees cavalry. Like Paddy's flea are they to the Feder- als-now they have got them and now they haven't. The omnipresence of our troops and their throwing dust in the eyes, or rather on the heels of the panic stricken Federals in Maryland and Pennsylvania, clearly prove that Lee just now is the right man in the right place. We lay before our readers in this issue an account of Lees brilliant and successful onslaught upon the abo lition hordes and show cen from their own record how our gallant boys of the cavalry have flashed their swords to the hilt with their vaunting foes and how each musket of our infantry has told it's fatal leaden tale. To-day Maryland is ours, tomorrow Pennsylvania will be and the next day Ohio-now midway, like Mohammed's coffin-will fall. Sue cess and glory to onr arms God and right are with us.

GOODWIN Ys. DEAN.

The case of Erastus D: Goodwin of Salisbury against Lee P. Dean, Esq, of Falls Village, recently decided by the supreme court of this state, is one of no little interest to the legal fraternity.
 The action was brought by MT Good win as assignee of mortgage given by one Abraham Herman to Samuel s. Robbins, William H. Barnum, and Will liam H. Barnum executor of Leonard Richardson's estate, for 5000 and inter- est from May 27, 1867, when said mort gage was executed. The property in controversy was wood lot of about 100 acres on the ''Cobble,'' so called, in South Canaan, which was conveyed by the Herman mortgage, above mentioned and by three mortgages, given to MT Dean by Herman, dated respectively April 1, 1876, October 5, 1876, and Mo- vember 7, 1877, and amounting to about 5000. The plaintiff, MT Goodwin, sought to foreclose MT Dean, because he had, as attorney and scrivener for the parties drafted, witnessed and taken the acknowledgement of the Herman mortgage under which he claimed in 1867, and because the defendant, as town clerk, had neglected to record said deed, which the plaintiff claimed had been left with him for record at the time of it's execution. The defendant denied having any knowledge of the existence of the Herman mortgage at the time of taking his subsequent con- veyance, and furthermore that said mortgage, under which the plaintiff claimed was not left for record and re- corded until March 9, 1877.
 Hon George c. Woodruff, as @ com mittee appointed to find the facts, fully sustained MT Deans claims and only found that ''said note and mortgage of the plaintiffs was drawn up by the de- fendant, Dean, as attorney and scrivene1 for the parties on the 27,h day of May, 1867, and that the execution of said mortgage deed was then duly attested by him as subscribing witness and that he took the acknowledgement o1 said deed and the defendant had actual notice and full knowledge of said mort gage deed and its contents" So the question was whether the plaintiffs un recorded prior mortgage was entitled tc priority over the defendants subsequent mortgages, which had been duly record ed when they were given, and whethe defendant Dean, having actual notic

 held to remember this fact nine year later, when he took his mortgages
 The supreme court rendered 8 deci sion in MT Deans favor.
