INTERESTING DECISIONS.

The following are synopses of inter-
esting decisions rendered by the Court
of Appeals at Wytheville on Thursday,
mention of which was made in yester-
days GAZETTE:
Clendenning's administrator VS..
Thompson's executor, and others.
From the Circuit Court of Loudoun
county. Decree of the court below af-
frmed. Opinion by Judge Harrison.
This was suit by the representa-
tives of the estate of Elizabeth A. Glen
denning VS.. the estate of John n.
Thompson, to enforce collection Of a
bond executed by Thompson to the
trustee of Elizabeth A. Clendenning.
The court held that the circumstances
of the case, together with the relations
of the parties, the transactions between
them, laches in the assertion of the
claim, and lapse of time, were sufficient
to raise the presumption of payment,
and to satisfy the court that the claim
had been settled.
Lagorio VS.. Dozler. From the Corpo
ration Court of the city of Norfolk.
Decree of the court below affirmed.
Opinion by Judge Keith. In 1861
Robert Rhea, of the one part, and
Clement Hill and Mahala, his wife, by
deed, undertook to exchange lots in
the city of Norfolk. BY inadvertence
the names of Hill and wife were omit
ted from the deed as grantees. The
court holds that by looking to the
whole paper it may supply the names
Of the grantees, and that there being
no latent ambiguity in the instru
ment, the court cannot consider
eXtrinsic evidence to aid it in its in.
terpretation that being deed
Of exchange, the grantor of the one lot
must by necessity be the guarantee of
the other, and it is. therefore, consid-
cred that the conveyance must be read
as though the names of Clement Hill
and Mahala, his wife, had been inserted
as grantee from Rhea. A court of law
has now power either to reform a deed
or to set up and execute resulting
trust.
Fifer, ETC., vs. Tyler, etc. From the
firmed. Opinion by Judge Buchanan.
The interesting points decided in this
case were:
A court of equity has jurisdiction to
enjoin the sale of married woman's
equitable, separate estate, levied upon
for her husbands debts, even though
there were complete and adequate
remedy at law under section 2999 of the
Code, since courts of equity had such
jurisdiction before that statute was
passed.
A married woman who united with
her husband in deed of trust to secure
his individual debts upon her inherited
lands, in the absence of any agreement
to the contrary, is treated as his surety,
and if her interest in the lands have to
be subjected for the payment OF such
debts it is good consideration for set
Element upon her by her husband to the
to the extent of the consideration furn-
ished.
The engagements ofa married wom-
an can only be enforced against the
equitable separate estate which she
held at the time of entering into the
engagement, or so much thereof as she
owns when the decree is rendered.

club. The noise frightens the animals out. From the formation of their legs they are naturally slow runners. They are knock-kneed and their hind legs are wide apart. When they leave the huts they are despatched with clubs. It re- quires but a short time to kill them When the colony is planted the animals are branded, and at butchering time these are preserved for breeding pur- poses. It is said of the beaver that it lives, active and vigorous, to the age of fifty years.
 As soon as the killing is done the gates are closed and the farm is flooded again. The belts are taken off the dead beavers and stretched over forms made of bent elm strips. The fur side is on the inside. Saltpetre is rubbed into the flesh side of the skin and it Is exposed to the atmosphere for two weeks; then the belts are packed in bales and taken to market.
 The pelts are classed according to their size and the length of the fur. The poorest brings $15, and from that figure the prices ranges to $25. The fur Is used in the manufacture of coats, hats and garments for women. A good deal of it is shipped to China, where it is made into expensive shoes for aris- tocratic women.

In that association the direc- tors each paid themselves $105 a month and credited it on their stock. In seven years they would have had $84,000 cash without having paid cent. We peo- pie of Indianapolis don't chip into these institutions. They go out and milk the whole State. I don't think you ought to consult the men who are fleecing the State and their shareholders in the way these men are doing. Not week pass es but some poor washerwoman comes to me to ask what this bylaw of 'one- tenth of one per cent means. Build ing associations were organized for the benefit of neighborhoods, and those who organized them worked for compara lively nothing" The representative of the Government association above re- ferred to tried to defend the expense fund on the ground that their agents cost them a great deal of money. On cross-examination he admitted that with expenses of over $13,OOO last year they could not pay these out of the profits.
 It is well to have these matters in- quired into early. It would have been a good thing for many thousands of the people of this country if "endow- ment insurance" schemes had been in- vestigated long before they were.
