The doctrine that mans ownership
in his land extends within his boundary
lines from the centre Of the earth TO
the sky, has received a severe shock
from the Supreme Court of Colorado
which holds that man cannot pump
from a well on his own land water
which. if let alone. would make its way
TO a stream in which another man has
recognized rights. The newspapers
state the case as follows:
"a man named Wilson, living in Lone
Tree Valley, dug two artesian wells. and
with the water procured from them
brought 4SO acres of hitherto useless land
TO a high state of cultivation. But Lone
Tree creek. which runs near by his land,
showed the effect of the artesian wells
very decidedly in its decreased flow. A
water company which had been supply
ing its bitches from the creek obtained
an Injunction to prevent Wilson from
using his pumps. This injunction has
been made permanent by the Supreme
Court which holds that Wilson's pump
ing diverted water which would other
wise have gone into the creek, and is,
therefore. an interference with the rights
of others

Meeting of Infants Home Board.

There was a full attendance, and an
enthusiastic meeting of the board at the
Infants Home on Thursday. The re-
ports Of the different committees show
good work done, and much progress
made in the three years of the homes
existence.
The Admission Committee reported
several requests had come for admission,
but as the funds of the home are limit
ed to the support Of twelve babies, they
had TO be refused. The Dismissal Com
mittee had allowed two children 10 be
adopted, after much investigation and
forethought on their part. 1t is the hope
Of this committee 10 find good homes
for all the children

A Faithful officer.

The position Of Acknowledgement Is
very exacting in its duties. When a
man I'm full practice accepts the place,
he virtually surrendcrs his home prac-
tice: and the requirements are too re-
sponsible TO be entrusted TO ore not en-
toying n good practice. When a man
does the work OF the office 80 faithfully
as Major Scott has done he. should be
allowed TO hold II for three terms. and
not be turned loose TO commence build
ing I'D his practice again as beginner

DREW MONEY THAT WAS NOT HIS.
How n Prominent BusIness-Man
Came Near Being Prosecuted.

How n Prominent BusIness-Man
Came Near Being Prosecuted.
The importance to businessmen of
seeing that their bank accounts are pro-
perly kept, and not overdrawn, is
shown by the following article from
the New York Herald, which tells Of a
merchant who narrowly missed being
prosecuted for drawing out OF bank
money that had been improperly credited
to him:
Selleck Seeley, the produce commits
sion merchant, who, as told in the
Herald, was arrested on Saturday
evening on a charge of grand larceny,
preferred by the cashier of the Clinton
National Bank, in Hudson street, was
arraigned i'm the Centre Street Court
yesterday morning. The merchant was
angry. and denounced his arrest as an
outrage and a piece OF mean persecution
on the part OF the bank officials who
he said, were smartlng because they
were responsible for big blunder.
Frank $. Hyatt, cashier of the bank,
was also In court, and said he was
anxious &c withdraw the charge, as Mr..
Seeley had made restitution. Magistrate
Simms would not consent TO this until
he had heard all the particulars or the
case. and then the question of Seeley's
discharge or commitment depended upon
q matter of four minutes.
HAD TO EXPLAIN BLUNDER.
Hyatt was rather loath 10 explain the
nature OF the banks mistake, and tried
to have the matter quietly disposed of,
but he was Obliged to make all the facts
public He said that on October 23d
the iirm OF Sentenne x Green, printers.
OF No 81 Hudson street, had deposited
1866 80, which. by a clerical error, had
been credited TO the account OF Seeley
Tho latter closed his account on the
first of the year. and was paid this
amount In addition TO his own funds that

Kind Words for Mr.. Burr.

The Danville Register in its account OF
the death of Mr.. A. Il. Burr. formerly
of Richmond. says:
The deceased was member or the
Church of the Epiphany. and vestry-
man. He was an active church worker.
Mr.. Burr was an upright. honorable
man. good citizen, and possessed the
klndlest disposition. His sympathes
were large, and exemplified as they
were in the every day routine OF life, the
secret Of esteem, amounting almost
to affection. in which all classes and con-
ditions held him Is easily explained.

To the Editor of the Dispatch;
/ heartily commend your criticism Of
Mr.. Dawson's article in to-days Dis
patch. Mr.. Dawson's sanguine tempera-
ment may account for his roseate view
OF the colored question. Your strong
array Of facts outweighs all mere specu-

The questions involved are of pro-
foundest character. and should excite the
deepest interest Of all true lovers of Vir-
ginia and the South.

There seems to be growing opposition
to Il large representation in the Demo
cratic convention this year. There will
be important work to do and body OF
eight hundred men can do it better than
sixteen hundred. Stlll. there is going to
be a fight to keep the basis of repre-
sentation of one delegate for every one
hundred Democratic voters. The basis
will be the vote Of last fall, and the
southwestern and western counties will
lose slightly. while the eastern and south
ern counties will gain a few delegates
