From the Norfolk Post. 2dth< Mr. BulU, the defendant, is a lawyer, who came to Norfolk during tho war, and rented a bouse from - Mrs. Tunis. In 1864. He continued io bold the premises throughout the following year, 18US, atan advanced rent. But, in July last, the dwelling was leased to Mr. Gilbert C. Walker, for the year 186G-^and Mr. Buttz was notified of the fact. Previous to this time, according to the evidanco of Mr. Buttz himself, ho aud the plaintiff had been an friondly terms, and he was in the habit of visiting her house, frequently, as ho says, “taking wine with her.’ 1 But, when they fall out About the house, Buttz discovered wlml be suddenly conceived to b« a vary grave omission on the part of Mrs. Tunis. That lady had actually for gotten or neglected to affix the necessary revenue stamps to the receipts she had given U> him fur house rent. This Vas a great oversight on tho part of the lady, and one which would auhject her to a prosecu.ion for violating the intarnal rev enue laws, and the payment of a heavy line on each receipt. Whether pronpted by motives of patriotism or revenge, it is difficult to say; but Mr. Buttz declared it to be an impulse of purest patriotism. lie took the receipts to Colonel B.qoe, collec lor of revenue, and iusisted thiil the lady should ho prosecuted. The Collector at once summoned Mrs. Tunis before him to an.-wer for the offence. Bhe pleaded igno ranee of utiy wrung intention, end lbe Collector condoned tho act by allowing her to affix the stamps then and there, is his presence. Subsequently Mr. Buttz caljvd, and op being informed of the manner in which tho matter had been compromised, de clared that it did not satisfy him; that he would lay tho case before the authorities at WashiugluD t have the law enforced, and demand bis half of tho Buss assessed, which ho would he entitled to ax jpforaier. As he bad to incur the odium, it was but proper that he should receive compensn- lion. This ended the mutter in regard to lbe revenue stamps and Mr. Butts’s revenge. Now comes the question of forgery. , On the trial a receipt was produced by Mr. Buttz signed by Mrs. Tunis, purport ing to have Veen given fur the month of January, to which is added tho clause, "For the house rentod for the years 1866 and 1806 to C. W. Bnttz.” This last clauso was held to have the binding force of a lease or contract, as it was signod by the owner of the property. The history of this receipt is rather interesting. The theory of the plaintiff's counsel was that Mr. Buttz bad interled this clauxe after the lady had signed the original paper ; and in support of this theory Mrs. Tunis made oath to the effect that when sho signed that receipt in her own houso, wuore it was made out by Buttz, the latter clausa was not contained io it. On the contrary, Buttz, when put upon the stand to testify ki his wwa behalf affirmed that tho redeipl was g'-nuine, and had not hern tampered with Thus the matter stood when the evidence closod. There was no now principle involved in tho suit, but there was considerable hard .wearing. We have laid a plain statement of the faots, as diiolosad by the evidence, befure eur readers In order tbit they may form ibeir own opinion as to the amount of forgery, perjury and revenge thire may be coutatuoii in them. •JJUty of tho :'Altorne.v-General to meet th® eminent counsel of Mr. Davis, Chas, O Conor, of New York, and Hon.

Our c mmuhity was sta-tled Thursday morning last, by the announcement of the death of'the Hon. Ashbury IIuP one of our oldeet and most influential citizens. M Hull Was known throughout the 8’-. -having narticipaied in her logisla- tivpdellherati Jnskor many years, and held giiR>y ijpportabt trusts. H» Wat for many years cashier of the State Bank at this place, served once or twice as Presiden tial E.ector, and was, at the timo of his desjUv Prmlfand qt the Southern Mutual Imnfndtrti rVWifntny and Secretary of the Board of T(iute|«of the University of Georgia. The last time he served tho peo ple in e representative capacity was in 18ttO-’Gl, in the State Convention. The deceased wrv distinguished for strong common sense, conservatism, and abqVegll,,-for kitilindipg integrltv, lofty patriotism ana unaffected piety. Ilia good example will be felt many years to come in the fcommweily where he lived so long, and bia memory cherished bv our whole people. The manner of his death was il lustrative of ilia (whole tenor of his life. Ife Heft Tcwlinr) tfie Ptble!

STAMrs on Subscriptions.—Wo find in an exchango tho following roported de cision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue: In the esse of a subscription list, where the heading involves a promise to pay the sum annexed, the putty signing is liable to the Blamp du‘ y required on promissory notes unloas he pays lbe sum annexed to his namo at the timo of signature, in which qgsutlie signing nf his name should be regaraed as a more part of a memo randum. Where the beading of a list involvos a condition on which the subscribers will pay the sums annexed, then each signa ture it held to create an agreement, aub- ject to a duty of live cents.

Wiiut credit ciiii be given to Dr. Hlnnd’a aluto- mont, We ar® not in a position tn decide ; but we may at uli events believo that ho himself is a tirm beliover in it. The ac count he gave ivua read at tho French Academy,' q«d in substance it rond as follows i “A young woman, twenty yeara of ago, fell usleep and slept for 6fty days. This wts idIHM, and (milling of the kind re- ourred until the beginning of 1803, when she suddenly fell usleep again, and did not wake till Marsh, I8(i;t. Kvry imag inable effort was made to rouse her, but ithout effcot; she continued to remain usleep without showing the slightest sign of being distuibed. Her breathing wus almost imperceptible, the pulse low, tho skin rosy aud fresh. Bho neither ute nor drank, and yet there uppoured to he a slight tendency toWurd fattening.” On reading Ids first paper, tho Doctor entered into some speculations concern ing sleep, wbioh are very imperfectly re ported. It seems that no distinguished throe kinds of Bleep—the diurnal, the an nual and the metumorphio. We have all had experience of the first; the second corresponds with (lie hybernation of cer tain animals; the third is transitory, ns in the case .of tho trunsfermutiou of a caterpillar inti) a butterfly. Sloop he considers to be a peculiar form ot life, and the primary condition under which iifo is manifested. Everybody will not agree with him in his theory, but bis views uro worthy of attention. Subsequently he rnude unother state ment on the seme subject, und iu con firmation of it ho quoted the names of other doctors— Segalas, Dumond, Dsr- sonville, Fuel and others. For an ontiro year a pidy presented the sumo symp tom's asMadamtilacIcod and Louise Du rand—that is to say, uniinul life null, orgauic life good, but reduced to a min imum, the pulso slow, breathing almost imperceptible, the llosh soft and fresh, no (limimiiitkl of flush, butun absolute insensibility and general contraction. At the first every effort was made to awaken them; or to keep them from falling to sleep again when they were awake; but finding the utter uselessness of this treitiuoit, the doctor thought it waweruej tojoobdiiue it, and sutfured the lady firshiolerA a te to sleep as much as she was inclined, its salutiiry influence having been speedily disceruod by him on tho two first occasions of her falling asleep, they having followed on two se vere attacks of IIIlcss, attended by in tensely uoutu suffering. Tho question why sleep should enjoy tlio privilege of rendering persons insensible to pain, und ot preserving them fr» in tho loss of flesh, is one which men, with ull lheirsoieutifio knowledge, mm vary unli > fly to solvo.— Once a Week.
