And thus addressed the pastor:

A gobbler from my master.
The pastor said: 'Thou shouldst not thus
Present the fowl to me;

And Will act for thee"
The preachers chair received the boy,

With pleasant smile and look.

A gentleman and scholar

A most peculiar tWitching;
And to the gobbler holding fast,
He "bOlted" for the kitchen.
He gave the turkey to the cook,
And came back in minute.
Then took the youngsters hand and left
A half a dollar in it.
Nuisances Cannot be Maintained in
COMMUNICATE the Court of Appeals on the
18th instant Judge Robinson filed an opinion
in the case of the Susquehanna Fertilizer Com
pany against Daniel Malone, an appeal from
the Circuit Court for Baltimore county. This
is an action for nuisance says the court, and
the questions to be considered are more than
ordinarily important. At the same time it
does not seem to us that there can be any great
difficulty as to the principles by which they
are governed. The plaintiff is the owner of
five dwelling-houses on Eighth avenue, in
Canton, one Of the suburbs of Baltimore. The
corner house is kept by the plaintiff as kind
of hotel, and the other houses are occupied
by tenants. On the adjoining lot is large fer
tilizer factory, owned and operated by the de-
PENDANT, from which, the plaintiff alleges nox
fofrc NOT
discomfort to himself and tenants, but also
causes maJel1a1 1llJusr ,..-~.s--+.v
In affirming the judgment of the court below
in favor of Malone, the court says: '"The law
in cases of this kind will not undertake to bal
ance the convenience or estimate the differ
ence between the injury sustained by the plain
tiff and the loss that may result to the defend
ant from having its business, as now carried
on, being found to be nuisance. No one has
the right to erect works which are nuisance
to the neighboring owner"

argument of certain pleas and demurrers.
When these are disposed of jury will be i'm

ly the case will consume some time, the defence

point raised by counsel on Thursday and which
