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 tol kt, 1M2M; the county where it wits exe cuted not being stated but left blank, and was signed thus : David X his mark. Myrick. and witnemed by Brooks. and Thos. G. Hate*. J. 1*., recorded 3d November, 1854. Also, the record of a 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.

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 Texas. Wherever it has been introduced it 1ms proven a success, and liecoming in general us*, j 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.
