I had left ls-hind at Grenoble two-
thirds of my travelling oompuiona, for
whose ronvej;in<-e*'3irrui', , es were wa.timf.
Many of them wishing at any cost to Ik;
at 1^ Salette on the 21st, boblly relied
upon their own resources, and marched
off the mountains to t)*? holy sane-*
tu;try, which they reached on Wednesday
night, after travelling for fccvezxtees
along the most abrupt and fright
ful jmth.-. or rather tracks. Others, after
waiting until five in the evening, at last
on in all sorts of vehicles, which
hastily converted into diligences by
placing planks across them, which form
as many pilgrims as could
find places. These people reached Corps
after a fourteen hours* journey, and be
ing unable to procure mules, had iiame-
liately to commence the ascent of La
Salette, and I saw the first of the
here al half-past ten o'clock in the
morning.
I could not help admiring the eager
looks of those who thus made their ap-
potroncc on the summit of the holy
mountain, their faces bathed in sweat,
their clothes covered with dust, and
despite fatigue, hunger and thirst,
their eyes gleaming with feverish dearc
to obtain a glimp.<e of the sanctuary
which they had travelled so far to see. As
simple historian, I relate, I admire, and
them in the prosecution of the snit at J proceed. The path was filled with pilgnms,
the time it was brought, and when they I priests, peasants men and women, gentle-
turned over the deed* to him they turned I m pn and ladies upon mules and asses,
over the o&mo as the deeds of Turin 1 u * - *■ — * - **""
the time the suit was brought, and in all
his connection with said case, Tomer
treated the deeds as his property. The
dufemlant, after showing that he lutd
made search for the original title papers,
and being unable to find them, then
offered in evidence the record book
of deeds of Worth county contain
ing the record of a doed from
David Myrick to Beard, dated*3d Oc

cuted not being stated but left blank,
and was signed thus : David X his mark.

and Thos. G. Hate*. J. 1*., recorded 3d

deed from Board to Sinclair and Calhoun
ex«*cut4*d by Johnson under a power of
attorney dated 14th November, 1854, re-
ramied 30th Noveml*er 1854. Aloo&deec
from Sinclair and Calhoun to Ford, dated
10th of February, 1H65, and recorded 17th
Augu»t, 1857. It uppears from tho evi
dence in the record that when Furd pur-
cluuie## the lot he took possession of it in
2855, there was a woman living on thi
lot, Becky Wilson, who attornod to him
as his tenant. Tyson was made a party
defendant to the suit by order of tin
Court, but it does not appear that ho had
any paper title to the land, was in pos-
session of it and put huImtuntial improve
monte thereon, and claimed under Ford’*
title. Tho plaintiff made oJfidiivit that
tho deoil purporting to have been modi
by David Myrick to Beard on the 3d of
October, 1M2M. and witnessed by Brook.-
and Thomas Bates. J. I*., under which
the defendant claimed was a forgery am’.
the defendant also made an affidavit that
the d«*ed purporting to have bum mad#
by David Myrick t<> Is>ng in 1825, mule
which tho plaintiff claimed was a forgery.
Tho plaintiff offered in evidence a cer
tificate from the Executive Deport
ment of tho State nowing that no
such Justice of the F* see as Thomas Ilate<
was in commission as such at the ilnt»
of the deed from Myrick to Beard. Then
is other evidence in tho record going to
show the time at which Myrick becomi
climbed up the ascent in the invigorating
air of the early morning. From time to
time I came upon a group of pilgrims,
with its pastor at its head, preceded by
the Cross, the men and women singing
the hymn of the Sacred Heart, while
those who passed took up the chorus—
** Lieu do Clemente.
Dicu PwiKluir,
Sauvex Rome et la France,
An nets do Sucre Carnr."
It is difficult to convey .an impression
of the wonderful effect of a number of
strong and hearty voices repeating in
unison this fervent appeal, which was
echoed and re-echoed in varying tones
by tho surrounding mountains. There
arc few more picturesque or more poeti
cal positions than the rood which is
traced along the flank of the mountain
leading from Corps to the Convent of La
Salette. It is after quitting the plain
that we come upon the little hamlet of
La Salette. which takes or gives its name
to tho plateau upon which now stands
tho convent. In the windings of these
mountains ore the thirteen little hamlets
which constitute the Parish of La Salette.
A poor little church, whose door opens
directly upon the path, is the place of
worship far the seven hundred and eighty
souls which form the united population
of these thirteen hamlets.
These people, separated from the rest
of the world by paths which are often im
passable, by ravines which are enlarged
by the autumn rains and contracted by
the winter snows, have now, for more
than twenty years, been accustomed to
see multitudes gathered from all parts
passing along their mountain tracks,
lint so completely are they separated
from tho rest of the human race that du
ring those twenty years none of them
have sought to obtain a knowledge of
that outer world whose representatives
I miss occasionally betas their eyes. They
are accustomed to continual struggles on
tho mountain side to obtain their scanty
livelihood, and they pursue their ardu
ous and ungrateful labors with unremit
ting and unrepining perseverance. Ev

their possession was in subordinati

317th Go. E^*p., 40tf. The court fur-
the.- cluu*gtsi the jury, that if the do
fondant and those under whom
claims have been in the actual unin!
rupted continuous possession of the Lin
as their own, under a color of title for
seven years, the defemiant’s title ha-
ripened into a title by prescript!
which is good against the claimant. Thi:
charge of the Court was also error, o>
did not state to the jury that the defend
ant. and those under whom lie claimed
must have been in the posset-don of th
land os their own under color of writte
evidence of title and claim of right f«
seven years next befere the common
rnent of plainti^s action. The Court
also charged the jury, tliat if they were
satisfied from the testimony that Myri. ’
was insane on the 11th May. 1825, or <
the 3d of October, 1828, then the deeds
executed by him at the respective date
thereof were void. This charge of th
Court, in view of the question st issue
and on trial between the parties,
error. The question at issue and
trial, was not whether the deeds were
void on account of Myrick’s insanity
but the question was whether he eve
made ana executed the rospectiv
deeds, or whether the same were forge
ries; and the evidence of his insanity
at a stated period of time, was only ad
missible for the purpose of illustrating o:
throwing light upon that question, inas
much as an insane man would not hav
been a*, likely to have executed a deoil a*
a sane man. Neither party sought t-
tvoid the deeds made by Mynek on th
ground of wMoiuiy, but attacked them on
the ground that the same were/orpsd.
The evidence of Vason as t*» the admis
sions of Roltert Myrick, as to the genuine
ness* of the deed under which the plain
tiff claimed. Robert being one of the heirs
of David, and both being dead, was admis
sible. in view of the facts and circum
stance* cf this case. If the deeds were
forgone*, then the land on the death
of David would have descended to his
heirs, and it would have been the in
terest of his heirs to have established
that fact rather than to have estab
lished the genuineness of the deed which
passed the title out of him. It is true
that the plaintiff does not claim title to
the land under the heirs of David My
rick. but the question made on the trial
bj the affidavit of the forgery of the 1
•t was to be seen the red cross of the
pilgrims. I soon found those with whom
I was travelling. They had forgotten
their fatigues and their trials. They
were cheerful, happy, and joined heartily
in the chorus raised by new arrivals, for
they were at La Salette.
A Peculiar Dog.
Not a hundred miles from this city says
a Kingston paper, lived a family who
owned a dog. The dog’s name was “Col
onel.” He was. however, loss military
than theological in his tastes. In
respect of the latter subject he made ex
tensive researches. 'When a neighboring
church bell rang the people to the house
•f prayer Colonel would howl in unison
rith it. On one or two occasions he visited
the sacred edifice itself, and after listen
ing to tin* sermon for awhile, he emitted
short yelp of disapprobation, dropped
his expressive tail, and went home in a fit
of deep dejection. We should have men
tioned that Colonel was of the New
Foiindiand breed, and his immense size,
combined with his glossy blackness, im
ported great solemnity to his appearance
and manner. One day the family were
nt, and Colonel was unintentionally
locked in the house. He recognized his
pportunity, and walking into the p.trlor,
^d the big Bible from the tabl*
and began a studious perusal of that
holy volume. Fearing hat he should
r«*nd the same port mart than once, he
rvfully tore out tho leaves as he passed
er them, and arranged them in a heap
on the fi^*or. Wlu-n the unsuspecting
family returned they walk**dt into th.
parior, and h-^ri* saw th.- canine .vouien-
ugngeu in his lalK>r of love. He
had dipped into Eiodiu». but nothing
mon*. Tho Old Testament wasn’t to his
taste. But he had been fa.-, mated with
the Epistle of St. 1‘aul. The letter to
the Romans Colonel had swallowed en
tire, thereby »ur|KiAsing m.it-t other theo
logians. who never could get it down.
The Gospel by St. John he hod ala., de
voured. He liked its loving flsv >r. The
Re relation was too tough for hi 11. Ho
had disposed of two chapters, but ho
stuck on the l*east with seven heads and
the horns. When his admiring proprietor
led him out of dour* a piece of scripture
hung to his eye teeth, on which was
printed the admonition, " Beware of
dogs.” Such a gorge of Gospel could
hav** but uOe result on a dog: Colonel is
dead now.

W OULD take this method of informing the public that hundreds are now in use from Virginia (a

For the information of those who have not seen tlie (Jin in use, would state that it runs light; gita
fast, cleans seed perfectly, and makes a beautiful sample of cotton. Tbe roll box is so conitrurtri
that it is impossible to break the roll or choke the Gin by any fair means, and a child ten yearn old
can "eed it a*t well a* any one. All of which 1 guarantee, and warrant every Gin to give entire tea-
faction or no sale.
One improvement in my cotton or roll box is, that it is longer at tho top than where the rotten i*
pulled between the ribs.
Parties purchasing Cotton Gins would do well to look to this before purchasing other masks, u I
am determined to protect my patent from any and all infringements.
Parties wishing to purchase Cotton Gins would do well to examine the EXCELSIOR COTTON
GIN before purchasing. Samples can be seen at
