Important Decision.

On Wednesday of last week, Judge Nc
Laughlin, in the Circuit Court, delivered a
decision of great interest to persons doing
business as traders, if they are agents for
or partners of others. The kernel of the
decision is that such traders must disclose
the name of their principal, or partner. by
sign, at the place and by published notice.
In 1881, J. A. Heller of Harrisonburg,
desiring to go into business, borrowed
money from 2. Swoope, for the payment
of which Hon. John Paul was surety on
the bond. Heller failed in business and to
pay the debt In 1884, G. f. Heller,
started his father, J. A., in tobacco and
cigar store, as his agent. The State and
corporation licenses were taken out in the
name of G.. F. Heller, and the United
States license in the name Of J. A. Heller,
Agent.
The sign over the store was 'sHeller's
tobacco and cigar store" Swoope S admir-,
for the relief of Judge Paul, who idemni-
fled. levied Oh the stock in the store. On
interpleader by G. F. Heller, after he had
given suspending bond, Judge Nc Laugh
lin held that, as J. A. Heller was trader
within the statute, ". c. ed. 1878, Oh.
143, sec. 1877 and had failed to disclose the
name of his principally sign in letters
easy to be read, placed conspicuously at
the store, and also by notice, published for
two weeks in Harrisonburg paper, the
stock was liable to be sold for J. A. Hell
ler's debt, and gave judgment accordingly.

AS it will be remembered, a sale Of the
personal property Of the late Adam Nc
Chesney took place on the 9th nit. Not
withstanding the day being a very wet
one, the attendance was unusually large.
Mr. Adam McChesney, his uncle, lived in
the immediate vicinity near thirty years.
He intended to have made Washington
county his home. but, as he remarked to
gentleman at the sale, he met SO cordial
greeting from Ills old friends, he now
thinks seriously of ending his days il. old
Augusta. So mote it be. We regret to
learn, as an incident of the sale. that Maj.
McCue lost blank book, containing about
125 subscribers to his proposed history of
this county. He thinks it may have been
carried off in mistake. and hopes it will
be returned to either of the newspaper
offices Of the county or to Nj. Jno
Harper or Saml. Fl. Steele.

DEATH OF MIR. DANIEL DECHERT.-,
The telegraph brought us the intelligence
Of the sudden death, on Sunday morning,
of Mr. Daniel Dechert, senior editor and
proprietor of the SPIRIT of the Valley, Har-
risonburg. He had been complaining for
| several weeks, but had sufficiently recov-
cred to be going about. About O'Clock
Sunday morning, he arose and prepared to
kindle a fire. His wife was asleep in bed.
butain short time after Mr.. Dechert had
left the couch she was awakened by dense
cloud OF smoke in the room. On getting
up she found her husband PROSTATE before
1.-THE CRATE, and his clothes on. fire. 1t is sup
! posed that Mr.. Dechert, while in the act
OF lighting a match, dropped dead from
heart diseases and the lighted match falling
on his bosom ignited his clothes and con-
siderably burned his breast and arm. Life
was entirely extinct, when Mrs. Dechert
reached him.
Mr.. Dechert was native of Pennsyl-
wanna, and thief founder of.the Chambersburg
VALLEY Spirit. In his younger days he tray
ersed the Valley of Virginia from the Po-
tomac to the Tennessee line, soliciting pa
tronage for his paper, and thus secured a
large list OF properties toadvertise. He went
from Chambersburg to Hagerstown and
purchased the Mda which he conducted I'M
til it was destroyed during the war be-
cause of its Southern procivities. Suisse
| quently he was awarded damage for his
loss. Sometime after the close of HOSTILE
ties he purchased property in Pittsylva-
MIA county, and not succeeding as well as
| he expected he removed to Danville,
| where he was engaged in newspaper work,
but it not proving remuneratiye he left
there and became connected with the
Rockingham Register, which relation he
| maintained but u short time He then
started the Spirit Of the VALLEY, and by his
remarkable energy and incessant applica-
tion in securing patronage, he built up a
prosperous paper, and remained connected
with it until his sudden DEATH
MI. Dec.ler5 was a kindly disposed gen.
| tleman and had many friends in the Val
| ley. His care for and devotion to his
! family were marked. Throughout his bust
| ness mutations and the froWns and smiles
of fortune, there was one spot where his
affections always lovingly turned, and
where the warm heart welcome ever
awaited him. We sincerely sympathize
with the disheartened family in their be-
reayement. His remains were taken to
Shepherdstown, w. Va, for interment
He was 60 yeaIs Of age.
We learn that Mr.. D. bad his life in
sued for $4,000, and this with the proper
ty he had accumulated by his untiring en-
ergy, will leave his family comparatively
comfortable.

Mr.. Geo. d. Anthony Of this city, has
made draft of a design for the Confeder-
ate monument to be erected in Thornrose
cemetery which seems to be peculiarly
appropriate. 1t is majestic column sur
rounded by the statue of Confederate
soldier. Each block represents state and
the blocks, which are to be Of white mar
BILE, are separated by rounded copings of
black. On the base of the monument will
be two canons crossed. The design is sym
etrical and beautiful and should receive
careful consideration by the committee.

room, and the first intimation they had of
the fire was the dense. smoke pervading
the rooms The alarm was sounded and
