HoppocI v. Cray.

Hoppock v. Cray.
In the Court OF Chancery yesterday
Chancellor McGill was engaged with the
case of Hoppock v. Cray ct al.
The bill was filed to obtain an injunc-
ton against selling certain real estate in
the city OF Lambertville under execu-
tions at law issued against Cray and his
trustee. The principal object Of the COM
plainant was to set aside certain mort
gage of $4,000 executed by Cray and his
trustee in May last. And also to set aside
a judgment for 1856 confessed by the
same parties, upon the ground that the
trustee had no power to confess the judg-
ment, and that both the judgment and
the mortgage we're void for want Of con-
sideration. The answers, which were
lengthy and voluminous, denied the
compliments alleged facts, and also de-
MED his legal positions. The court was
engaged until recess listening to the read
ing OF The full answers and affidavits.
Subsequently 1t was agreed between the
parties that the property should be sold by
the Sheriff of Huntcrdon county on the
executions In his hands, and the money
paid in the Court Of chancery, where the
equities Of all the parties should be ad-
justed by that court. The Chancellor
was much pleased at the course the case
had taken, and thanked the counsel for
saving him from hearing and determining
. lengthy and complicated case. Charles
A. Skillman and John Lilly, Of Lambert
Vile, appeared for the complainant, and
James Buchanan and W. d. Holt for the
defendant.

The best fish story Of the season thus
far is the following by the 'Local'' OF the
H,snterdon Democrat:
Theodore Servis does not lay claim to
being the handsomest fisherman In Flem-
ington, nor does he own eighty-nine dol
lars worth of silk wound poles and MCKEE
plated reels, but he justly feels that as
manipulation of the ordinary bamboo pole
and linen thread line he will compare fav-
orably with the best Of them. Last Mon-
day he took pleasant boat ride and at
the same time captured the biggest fish
ever taken from the Branch. II was
German carp measuring 30 inches In length,
8 inches in depth, and weighing 9 pounds.
The big fish started with him as soon as 1t
got fast to his line, heading for Clinton,
but after going half mile or so 1t seemed
to get tired, and in compassion Mr.. Servis
dragged it on board his craft, merrily
singing meanwhile "Who built the ark %
and the intelligent carp joined the chorus
with: "Noah, Noah-Noah built the ark. !"

WHAT WAS THE MUSICAL ACCENT.

At trial in the Court of Kings Bench
as to an alleged piracy of the "Old En-
glish Gentleman" one OF the first witness
es put into the box was Cooke. Snow,
sir" said Sir James Scarlet, in his cross
examination Of Cooke, 'you say that the
two melodies are identical but different.
What am to understand by that, sir :"
"What / said," replied Cooke, "was
that the notes in the two arrangements
are the same but with a different accent
tho one being in common while the
other is in triple time; consequently the
position of the accented notes is different
In the two copies"
"What is a musical acccnt2n Sir
James flippantly inquired.
s'My terms for teaching music are q
guinea lesson" said Cooke, much to the
merriment Of the court.
81 do not want to know your terms for
teaching" said the counsel; 81 want you
to explain to his lordship and the Jury
what is musical accent" Sir James
waxed wrotb. "Can you see it 2" he con.
tinued.
"No," was the answer.
Scan you feel 1t :"
w Gil, Cooke uraWleu out, "a musl-
clan can"
After an appeal to the Judge, the exam
lining counsel again put the question -
"Will you explain to his lordship and
the jury-who are supposed to know
nothing about musc--the meaning OF
what you call accent"
"Musical accent, rejoined Cooke, sis
emphasis laid ON certain note Just In the
same manner as you would lay stress on
any word when speaking, in order to make
yourself better understood. l will give
you an illustration, Sir James. II were
to say you are donkey" the accent
rests on donkey; but II instead said
you are a donkey, 1t rests on you, Sir
James, and have no doubt that the gen.
tlemen of the jury will corroborate me In
this" The story is more personal than
polite, nevertheless 1t is well worth telling
as an instance of forcible illustration. II
is useful, too, since It may serve TO i'm
press upon tho minds Of that very large
circle of people who plume themselves on
being musical, some faint notion OF what
accent in music really Is. 1t Is the out
come OF that wonderful invention, the d.
vision of music into bars, but for which
music might still be only the magical ac-
accomplishment OF few.-From the Gen.
tLenae1a's Magazine.

OUR MUSIC COLUMN.
POOR PIANOS.


How frequently one hears the remark,
"Yes, know 1t is cheap instrument,
but 1t is good enough for a beginner. Z"
Can any one produce good work with
poor tools 2 The difference Of touch,
tone, action, in poor pianos from good, is
as great as heaven from earth. For ex-
ample: One of the greatest beauties Of
piano playing is evenness of touch. 1t is
utterly impossible to acquire this upon
piano of uneven action.
A poor piano cannot remain In tune as
long as good one. The amount Of in
jury done to child's musical sensibilites,
by constantly practicing upon an ''out of
tune" piano, is incalculable.
A low grade of instrument is always
out of repair. The strain upon a piano
action is enormous, and, when made of
unseasoned wood, inferior metal, by in
competent workmen, the forlorn result lie,
las many can by experience testify,) bro
ken strings, rafting keys, squeaking
pedal, &c. The piano (soft) forte (loud),
80 called from its equal command of soft
ness and strength, has It's place in almost
every home. The chief beauty of this in
strument is its capacity of obeying the
touch, thereby enabling the performer to
give the most delicate shades, as we'll as the
boldest strokes of musical expression.
The tone of this instrument depends al
most wholly upon the seasoning of the
wood, particularly in that part called the
sounding board, which, should consist of
the finest deal, or pine, similar to that
used In the upper side OF q violin. There
fore 1t is always better to purchase an in
strument from factories whose means en-
able them to expose their materials to heat
and cold, for years together. 1t is most i'm
portant that the wood forming the block
upon which the wires are strung, should
be thoroughly seasoned, for, il untemper-
ed timber be used, the piano will only not
remain In tune, but the quality OF the
sSAN "hA No StCNtAy AulutCus
For many years our pianos were impor-
ted from Europe; but the humidity of the
atmosphere, during the passage across
the ocean, was found to open the joints,
rust the wires, loosen the keys, and en-
tirely destroy the tone of the instrument.
This, among other causes, led to the con-
struction of piano fortes in America. At
first, deficient in skill, our artists were
not very successful. But they had in
genuity and perseverance, and, exper-
fence soon supplied the rest. For excel
lence Of material, elegance of finish, and,
above all, for mellow sweetness, brilliancy
and permanence OF tone, the American
pianos, now challenge competition from
all parts of the world. Now, that we
have these beautiful instruments at our
very doors, why practice so-called econo-
my, when, by tho addition of few more
dollars, we can have the best, which, as
all practical economists know, is the.
cheapest.
