The first American city to light IU' streets wholly by electricity is Ogden, Utah. A Venetian steamboat company lias been formed, and the days of gondolas arc numbered. SAMAM Bernhardt and her managers bave abundent reason to be satisfied with the finaucial result or her engagement in New York. The total receipts dnrlng her foar weeks’ performance were in round figures $09,000, making an average bf about $25,000 per week. Mr. Robert Barton, one of the Pa cific coast millionaires, has picked up bag and baggage and left San Francisco in disgust, lie announces that he is going to dispose of every dollar’s worth of pro perty owned by him in California and take the money $) some place where rich men are not made the targets for “Sand- lot demagogues and legislative robbers.” He proposes to take up liis residence In New York. An invention which will considerably infiuer.ee architecture and sculpture has just been made by Dr. Gehring, at Land- ahut, in Bavaria. Dr. Gehring, by means of an enamelling liquid, renders any kind of stone or cement harder than gran ite, and gives it the absolute and indel ible appearance of any ofller mineral that may bo desired. Tho enamel may also be applied to metals, which it is said to completely protect from nut. Mr. and Mrs. Charles were on their bridal tonr, and bad reached Marietta, Ohio, when Mr. Coons, the bride’s divorc ed husband, presented himself and de manded possession of her. The rival claimants drew pistols, but were disarm ed. Mr. Coons then went to consult with a lawyer, knowing that three hours would elapso before the couple could’get away on tbo next regular train; but they chartered a special locomotive, and so continued their Journey unhindered. Mil John Bright has become a very outspoken champion of republics. In his groat speech at Birmingham, on Novem ber 16lb, lie said: “For my share, I do not learn from history that everything has been wisely done that Las been done by mouarclis and by statesmen. On tbo coulrary, almost all the greatest crimes of history have been committed and all the greatest calamities in history have been brought upon mankind through the in strumentality-the direct instrumentality —of monarchs and statesmen. I would rather have the judgment of an intelligent and a moral people informed as to their interest and their duty.” Mr. Gladstone to go into the Lords.—Mr. Louis Jennings telegraphs to tho New York World that Mr. Glad stone will speedily be forced to follow the example of Karls R issell and Beacons- ficld and retire into the House of Lords The strain of leadership iu the Commons Is more than his nervous system bear in his preseut poor state of health, and liis physician has peremptorily de manded Ins withdrawal from the scene of so many of his victories and triumphs before tbe beginning of the arduous labors oftbe coining exciting session. It it cur-’* reully reported therefore that as soon os the budget has been introduced in the Commons Mr. Gladstone will accept a peerage and take his seat in tbo House ol Lords. A Pittsburgh dispatch says: John Ncimyr, 14 years old, was injured on Fri day last by falling on a nail. Tho nail entered the temple and passed through the skull into tbe brain, which oozed out tlirough tbe aperture as soon as the metal was withdrawn. Since then there has been an intermittent discharge of brain matter and clotted blood, which requires attention by the lad’s nurses. Tbe physi cian who is attending the patient says that there is a reasonable hope of the boy’s recovery. He has treated the case by means of local applications and counter irritants to keep to wound open and pre vent infiammation and congestion. To day tho boy was bright and cheerful and asked several times for soda water, which he seems to crave. A Strange Sight is New Jersey.— New Jersey is full of leafless apple trees that are still laden with fruit. This is because of the unprecedentedly large crop, which was too abundant to be en tirely gathered. At the cider mills hun dreds of bushels of apples lie unprotected and ruined on tbe ground, the capacity of the presses not being equal to the demands upon them. A Dutchess County farmer says that his apples sent to New York netted him, after ill expenses were paid, just five and a half cents a barrel, and bis pippins ho sent to Liverpool netted bim $1.80 a barrel over and above ail costs of commission, river and ocean freight. Applejack is almost as free as water in New Jersey, two little counties alone having made more than 100-000 gallons. Captain General Grant.—A Wash- j mgton special to the Cincinnati Enquirer aays: After a day's reflection on the President’s recommendation to provide the office of Captain General in tbe army for Gen. Grant, there is a feeling grow ing, regardless of party affiliations, that just such a measure ought to bo passed. Tho idea of creating such an office is not original with the President, but tbe fact ofits going before Congress in a message from him has given tbe plan a decided impetus. Of course it is gratifying to the friends of Gen. Grant that snch a distin guished compliment is thus accorded him. Iu tho President’s message on this subject there was a singular mistake, which is explained. In the message, the General is referred to as “tho Commander-In-Chief of our army during the war of the re bellion.” As tho President of the United Slates is the Commander-In-Chief of tbe army and navy, the wording of the mes sage has caused some comment. The fault was in fhe proof reading of the printed copies which were given to the press. In tlie original mauuscript of tbe message tho paragraph in relation to Grant refers to him as “commander and chief of the army.” It was citnply the combined error of the printer and proof reader. » - ■ i — The Minneapolis Tribune of Saturday comes to us with nearly eight columns of names representing the liabilities .and as sets of the suspended firm of N.

Walks and His Cab.—The Prince of Wales lias taken very much of late to S rivate hansom. He attended the last andown meetings in it both days; and while the Prince deserves credit for adopt- in.; a mode of conveyance at once sen sible and unostentatious, the cab itself is worthy of notice, for it is an embodiment of comfort and good taste. By a simple application of lever principle tbe driver from hisseat behind can open aud shut the doors ;in addition to large side-windows, two smaller windaws in tho tack of the cab permit the occupants to cast a Par thian glance behind when need be, and a travelling clock with a luminous dial-face iu tlie centre oftbe splash-board prevents tbe necessity of unbuttouing the great coat to have recourse to a watch. 2.

The Calaway-Tison Case.—A good deal of public interest is felt in tlie case of Mr. John P. Callaway, who killed Mr. I. P.

They say it is their iutention to as sist and promote the prosecution of the same. Secretary Evarts is favorably im pressed with the present scheme and says the bele noir that was urged against any foreign government having a foothold on the continent has been done away with, as the canal company is a private corpora tion. - Other Cabinet officials state it will be very advantageous to the commerce of tho United States.

Republican Caucus. Washington, December 0.— A joint caucus or Republican members of tbo Senate end House was held in the hall of the House to-night to decide on the party policy with regard to the senate electo ral count resolution now pending. Eighty or ninety Senators and Represent atives were present, and the discussion lasted two and a half hours. The princi pal speakers were Senators Blaine, An thony, Ferry aud Teller, and Representa tives Lapham, Hawley, Conger, Keifer, Haskell, Butterwoith, Hickok and Robin son. The only question upon which any difference of opinion existed was tho extent to which it was advisable to oppose the adoption of the pending rule. While none of tlie speakers believed there was any purpose on tho part of the Democrats to attempt a reversal of tlie result of the re cent presidential election, the majority held that a great principle was at stake which might at some time affect the stability 'of our institutions, and that every known parliamentary method should be employed to prevent tho adop tion of a rule which is unwarranted by tlie constitution aud at variance with tho precedents of tlie past. At the conclusion of tlie debate a vote was taken on Judge Laphani’s resolution declaring it to be tbs sense of the caucus that tbe Republican minority should resist the adoption of this joint rule by every means authorized by parliamentary law, and without dissent it was adopted. The Electoral Count Rules. Washington, December 10.—The Star this evening says: “The action of the joint Republican caucus last night, decid ing to resist tlie passage ot tlie pending electoral resolution, may bo tbe means of precipitatiug au extra session ol Congress, unless tbe Democrats either get a quorum together or back down. There are at present twenty or thirty Democratic mem bers absent. Until these abseniees get there, tlie Democrats are powerless to force a voto if the Republicans filibuster, as they indicate they intend to do. “Even with a quorum of their own, the Democrats may not be able to pass the resolution, as it is rumored that two or three of their members believe that the constitution is a law in itself, and there is no legislation or rule necessary to count the presidential vote. “The leading Democrats have as yet no plan as to what will be the further course of the Democratic side. The impression is, however, that after making a sufficient issue to attract tlie attention of the coun try the Democrats will abandon further attempts to pass the resolution, set it' aside and go on with tho funding bill.” THE HOOD FEND.

The railroad acts oflliu recent assembly were very important. Only three were passed. One was to charter the Atlanta and Alanama railroad, with-, A. Austell, S. M.Inman, E. F. HowelJ.W. P. Inman, Anthony Murphy, J. W. English, £. W. Marsh and other prominent men as incor porators. The bill provides for the con struction of a road from Atlanta to some pojut on the Alabama lino in the direction of tlie coal fields, arid al$o prescribes that the capital stock of the company shall be $1,000,000 with the privilege of raising it to $5,000,000 at sbareS'of $100 each. So far as Atlanta is concerned this Is the most important bill of the sifelon. The bill to charter the Rome and Chat tanooga railroad provides for Us manage ment by J. W. Maddox,D. li. Hamilton, II. M. Smith and others, and that its stock shall be of tho value of $100 a share and that the total amount shall not exceed $1,300,000. As this road will connect Rome and Chattanooga, it will become an Important factor in the great railroad problem of the South and-West. It Is-pos sible .that the construction will be begun at once and'pushed.to speedy completion, as tlie capital is already promised in amounts amply sufficient to secure the speedy success of the new road. Tlie Buena Vista railroad also received a charter, and will develop a country very much In need of a railroad. Its incorpo rators are F. W. Miller, T. L. Rogers, Edgar M. Butt, James M. Lowe, J. H. Dunham and other men in whom the pub lic have confidence. The capital stock is limited to $300,000, at flOOjier share. It Is probable that the work of building the road will be begun at once. A singular veto. The Governor has vetoed but one act passed by tlie General Assembly and that is an act to Incorporate tbe Commercial Bank of Savannah. Tills bill is vetoed because tlie Governor declares that he believes it opposed to true public policy. The bill declares that stockholders'sha’l be liable only to tbe amount of their un paid stock and the Governor declares that as the amount of deposits the bank may receive is unlimited be does not think the liability of the stockholders should 1 $ limited, or that tney should be awarded I the advantage over those engaged in aid- j ing any business transact! jus.—Atlanta , Constitution. The Cetten Crop. j XoKf olk, December 9.—The following is the report of tlie cotton crop made by i the Cotton Exchange, and is based upon eighty-two replies from thirty-two coun ties in North Carolina aud Virgil.a: Thir ty-seven repiiex show that the weather has been favorable from the 1st to tlie 13th. To tbe 30th of November forty-four show unfavorable weather; one quite favorable. Sixty-eight replies show less favorable weather than last year, four better weath er and ten the same weather as last year. The average of the eighty-two replies shows that 85 per cent, of the crop has been picked and with good weather tbe balauce could bave been picked by tbe 15th to 20th of December. Fifty-three replies show an average increase of 19 per ceut—five a decrease of 24 per cent,, twelve tbe same yield as lost year and two a worse yield than last year. Little or no damage has been done by the frost. The average of tbe eigbty-two replies shows that 75 per cent, of the crop has been mar keted. The replies indicate that the tine weather in September and October ena bled planters to make good- progress in gathering the crop and that saved pqor to the first of November is of good quality and staple. Since November 15th there lies been little or no picking done,in eonse- queuce of wet and cold weather. Should wet or cold weather'continue much of tlie cotton remaining uugathered will be lost. Galveston, December 0.—The Cotton Exchauge has 121 replies from SI coun ties. All report the weather since No vember 1st as wet and unfavorable. All but two report the weather less favorable than at tbe same time last year. - The re plies indicate a saving of 75 per cent, of tbe crop, the gathering of the remainder depending upon the weatherfrom now on. Ten estimate the yield greater than last year, 18 the same, 4 less and 89 show an average increase of 20 per cent. Twenty-seven report an average damage of 18 per cent, by frost. Tho proportion of tbe crop marketed is estimated at 53 per cent. Many correspondents complain of rain, cold, sleet and snow during tbe month of November, which interfered with outdoor labor. New Orleans, December 9.—The Cotton Exchauge report for Louisiana is compiled from one hundred and thirteen replies received from thirty-four parishes, of tbe average date of November 39th. Without exception, the correspondents re port a heavy aud continued rainfall throughout the mouth, with damaging re sults. There have been only five or six picking days dnrlng the month. In tlie northern portion of the State considerable snow and sleet have fallen. Tbe weather, as compared with last year, is decidedly less favorable for gathering the crop. The average portion'bf the crop picked is 70 per cent. The date when the remain der of the crop will have been picked de pends entirely on the weather from this time on. The yield as compared with last year is reported to be 32} per cent, less, except in the parish cf east Baton Rouge and the Fellcianas, which report an increase ol 13 per cent. The damage by frost is slight. I here has been on an average 50 percent, of the crop marketed. Complaints have been made of heavy loss from cotton rot ting and wasting iu the fields during the continued bad weather. Cattle have bro ken into the fields, doing considerable damage by eating aud knocking cotton out of the bolls. GEORGIA. Savannah,December 9.—Tho weather has been rainy throughout the mouth and was far less favorable than last year. Three-quarters to seven-eighths of the crop has been gathered. That remaining in the fields Ulna very poor condition. Nothing i3 expected from tho top crop— wet «■ eather aud frost having caused un matured cotton in bolls to rot. About three-quarters of that gathered has been marketed. In tho Southern por tion of the State reports represent au in crease of production over last year. This is about lost in other sections, so that,even taking the increased acreage into ac count, tlie yield of the State will hardly exceed that of last year. . FLORIDA. There was rainy weather throughout the entire month. Seven-eighths of the crop is reported gstliered and three-quar ters marketed. ' The out-turn will not vary much from last season which was rather a poor crop. The yield promised well in August, bill wotm3 and rust and then storms aud continued rains have materially cut off the prospect. The sea bland crop has been affected by bad weather like the upland. Picking is nearly finished. Some localities report a decrease from last year while others a slight increase. The result, however, will be about the same as last year. SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, December 9—The re port of the Charleston exchange on the condition of the cotton crop in November is computed from the replies of fifty-five correspondents in twenty-eight counties. The reports about the character of the weather ail agree as to its having been V2ry wet and unfavorable, and they also state, without exception, that it has bedn less lavorable than tho saino time last year for gathering the crop. Tho propor tion of the crop picked up to the 1st in stant is reported by none under three- fourths, by most as seven-eighths, and by a few nearly all of the crop is stated to have been picked. Ali expect the last of the crop to be picked during December. The yield as compared with last year is estimated by five to be. 20 per cent., by eleven to be 10 per cent., and by eleven 5 per cent, more; by fourteen about tbi same; by seven 10 per cent., aud by scVen about 15 ;>er cent. less. About half report that little or no dam age has been Gone by frost, white the other half state that nearly all tlie late cotton has been partly or wholly destroyed. The ram has damaged the uugathered crop more than frost, and from tbis -cause most ot the unopened bolls will rot. Those reporting an increase in yield do not estimate that it will be so great as last year per acre, but attribute it mostly to an increase oftbe acreago plaulcd and to the greater use of fertilizers. Thq proportion'of the crop that has been marketedis estimated at from 75 to 90 per cent. -u MISSISSIPPI. New Orleans, December 0.—From thirty-five counties in Mississippi we have 137 replies Oftbe average date of Novem ber 30. The weather, is generally-reported as extremely unfavorable for gathering tbe crop, bwiug to excessively heavy rains. During the entire month there bave been only a few days of picking, and as com pared with last year decidedly less favora ble. There has beau an average of 72 per cent, of tlie crop picked, and much will depend on the character of the weath er as to when the remainder will be gath ered. The yield is reported 32 percent, less than last year, Tbe damage by frost is slight, and about 52 per cent, oftbe crop is marketed. We have universal complaint of great damage from stiaw, sleet, and cotton rotting in the fields. Bottom lands have been generally over flowed, aud much of the open cotton washed away and abandoned. ARKANSAS. i, We haye 180 replies from tlilrty-two of tldrty-four counties south of the Arkan sas river, oftbe average date of November 30. The Weather has been extremely un favorable. Excessive and continuous rains, with heavy;aleet, snow aud ioe have prevented the gathering of the crop, aud have damaged it to a great extent, and a comparison with last season is needless, as many reports show from - two to fire days only as fit for field work during the month. Sixty-three per ceuLof the crop is picked; and it depends upon tlie weath er as to when'it will be finished. The yield is 29 per cent, less than last year in all the counties except Sebastian, where it can be saved, and the yield there will be tbe same. No special damage by frost U reported. ALABAMA. Mobile, December 10. — Forty - ono counties send fifty-nine letters. The weather during the month was cold and rainy and less favorable than last year for gathering the crop- About an average of 67 per cent, of the crop has been picked, and ail will be gathered about the middle Of December. The yield is estimated ip twenty-seven ol the mrst productive counties at an average of ( 7 per cent, less than last year. Some of, these counties report an increased yield of from 5 to 10 per cent., and others a de crease of 60 per cent. In poorer counties the yield is estimated at 8 per cent. less. Tbe damage by frost was slight—continu ous, cold rains doing tbe injury. About 05 per cent, of the crop has been mar keted. MISSISSIPPI. Twenty conuLies send thirty letters. Tbe weather in the State has been the same as in Alabama, ami less favorable than last year. About 80 per cent, of the crop been picked, and all will be gathered between tbe middle and last ol December. Tbe average yield is estimated at 11 per cent, less than last year. Two ot the most productive counties and one poor county report increased yiold. Tbe damage by frost was slight. About 57 per cent, of tlie crop is reported as having beeu mar keted. New Orleans, December 9.—The statement of the Natioual Colton Ex change to be issued to-morrow, shows that the mills have taken overland direct 178,- 009 bales during the past quarter, against 192,776 bales lost year. The total tak ings of Northern spinners were 654,- 353. a gain over tbe same period last year of 11,521 bsles. Tbe total amount of this year’s crop received at the ports and shipped from overland points of crossing is 2,058,914 bales, au excess over last year of 208,835. Canada has taken over land direct 8,731 bales, a gain of 0,928. Richmond, December 10.- William A. Robinson,an old citizen of Richmond, died at bia residence iu Henrico county, Thurs day, in his 8Sth year. The deceased was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was for many years before the late war connected with the bank of Virginia in tbis city. Tbe loss ou Jones’ factory amounts to only $20,000; insurance on tbe building $7,500 in tbe Mutual Insurance Society of Virginia; on stock and fixtures, $10,000 in tbe K.ehmoud Banking and Insurance Company. Hew York Board of Aldermen. New York, December 10.—The Board of Aldermen met at noon and a message was presented from the Mayor. A motion to postpone action bn any communication from liis Honor was defeated by a vote of 0 to 13. The message was then read, withdrawing the nomination of Allan Campbell for commissioner of public woiks. Alderman Sauer moved to refer this to the committee on county affairs, and a vote being taken it resulted in 9 in tho affirmative and 13 in tlie negative. Alderman Ferley then moved to receive the communication and place it on Ale, which was carried by a vote of 15 to 5. Similar disposition was made of messages withdrawing the names of Clifford A. Hand, for police justice; Lucius J. N. Stark, for dock commissioner, and Smith Clift, for tax commissioner. A flutter of excitement was then caused by the reading of a communication from the Mayor nominating Alderman Camp bell for comptroller, in place of John Kelly. An alderman moved to proceed to confirm the nomination, and Ald.erman Kirk moved to ameud by referring it to the committee on county affairs. A vote wa3 taken on the amendment, and during its progress Alderman Haughton voted In favor of it, because he said the Mayor bad not consulted the Democratic members of tlie board before making up this slate. When the name of Alderman Sauer was called, lie said Alderman Carapbel! was an unscrupulous man, and dcuonnced tho statement tbet Tammany HaH had affili ated with the Republican party for any nomination. Allan CaihpbeU was con firmed by a voto of thirteen to eight. Public Health Association. New Orleans, December 10.—Tho Public Healtli Association convened at 10 o’clock this morning. Tbe committee, with Dr. Eliliu Harris, of New Yotk, as chairman, appointed to consider certain portions of the President’s message, re ported resolutions commending tho efforts of till! National Board of Health to secure uniformity of notation and nomenclature of diseases and causes of mortality, and requesting the medical and health author ities to do what they can to promote this uniformity. Under resolution, a commit tee was appoluted to have tbis subject un der consideration aud report at the next meeting. Resolutions were adopted on the follow ing subjects: “Investigation of the causes of diptberia by the National Board of Health,” “Compulsory vaccination,” and “Contagious diseases.” A committee was appointed to draw npa project for State boards of health, and to draft a law to prevent venereal diseases. Resolutions were adopted requesting the passage of a law to preveut the spread of infectious and contagious diseases. Five hundred copies of Hon. Era3tus Brook's address ou “what the States owe the people” were ordered to be printed and' sent to tho governors ot tho various States, with the request-that they refer the matter to the consideration of their re spective legislatures. Prof. R. E. Chaiile, M. D-, of New Oi- lea;is, read a paper giving a summary of the conclusions of tbe ilavaua Yellow Fever Commission, of which he was presi dent. DA J- D. Burns, of New Orleans, read a paper oh the fever of the lower coast. Dr. Burns reviewed all the facts connect ed with tho fever in Plaquemiues parish ■luring the summer. He, together with Dr. George Sternberg, of the army, and Dr. Davidson, of New Orleans, constituted tbe commission which was sent by tbe resident member of the National Board of Health to report on tlie fever in Plaque mines, which Dr. Sternberg diagnosed as yellow fever, and the others as malarial fever. After reading the paper, which was very lengthy, a discussiou ensued on tbe facts m tbe paper. Remarks were made by Dr. Jerome Cochran, of Mobile, Drs. Stern- berg, Cliaille and Davidson, of New Or leans, Dr. A. M. Bell, of New York, and others. Dr. Sternberg offered a resolution pro viding for the appointment of a competent person by the National Board ot Health to make a thorough investigation of the circumstances attending the epidemic last summer in Plaquemines. Some discus sion took place, and the resolution was withdrawn, it being opposed by Dr. Bil lings and others, wlio thought that no good results could be attained by inquiry at tbis late day. The following resolution, by Dr. Baker, of Michigan, was adopted :, Resolved, That this association deems it important that in time of doubt respect ing the nature of an outbreak of disease, which lias some of tlie characteristics of an epidemic disease, the National Board ot Health and State and local boards of health should give the benefit of the doubt to the side of safety to the people, of whose lives they are the sworn official guardi ans, and that in all such cases the boards of health should take such action as would be appropriate for the destruction of tlie epidemic disease which it is reasonably suspected exists. After tbe transaction of some miscella neous business and remarks by the new president, Dr. E. B.

C." Kedzic.presiding. A Jc-ttej' from J. G. Clarke, general manager of the Jackson railroad, was read, in Which he asked that a committee of seven from certain States be appointed to prepare a schedule embracing such articles as can be safely transported from any point where contagious or infectious diseases may exist to any port where such diseases do not exist, without risk of such articles conveying any infection. When quaran tine exists at any point, such a schedule should he used at all.points, so as O have a uniform quarantine regulation at all points. Mr. Clarke urged that the conrse proposed would enabio transportation companies fully to co-operate with the health authorities to preveut (be spread of such diseases along public highways. The letter was read and the chair au thorized to appoint a committee. A resolution offered by Dr. Rauch, of Michigan, was adopted, declaring that it would tend to the j&toration of' confi dence If the State Board of Louisiana would request the National Board of Health to place an inspector at each quar antine station and one iu New Orleans, and furnish them with ail information concerning the public health. The Sani tary Council then adjourned. THE SUPREME COURT. , PertHiM Mow. ft. I MW. Abridged for the Telegraph and Messenger bp Hilt A Harris, Attorney* at Law. St aeon, O orgia. Thomas vs. Wilkinson. Injunction, from Coweta. Where a wife sought to enjoin tbo sale of her husband's land ou tbe grounds that she bad an interest of $905 principal in tbe fi. fa., that the bolder, who was ft transferee, bad knowledge of her Interest, that she was ui.able to bid on the proper ty, and desired to bave tbe sale restrained until she could contest ber rights with tbe bolder, there was no abase of discretion in refusing to restrain the sale, bnt or dering a sufficient amount to secure his righta to be retained by the sheriff until further order. Brown vs. The State. Murder, from Pike. Tnat persons discussed a cate on trial near the jury will not be ground fora new trial where it appears that the jury did not beftr anything that was said which could have influenced tbeir find ing. (a.) It is tbe better practice to have tbe grouuds of a motion for new trial correct in themselves before granting a rule niai, and Dot to refer tbe entire charge to quali fy tbem. 2. While tbe general rule is that cases will not be continued on account of tha absence of witnesses outside of the reach of the compulsory process of tbe court, yet where there has been no want of dili gence, and the witness has promised to attend, his testimony being of groat ma teriality, if tbe application is not made for delay only, but there is a reasonable expectation of procuring tbe testimony within a reasonable time, tbe case should, be continued or postponed to a day cer tain, so as to give an opportunity to ob tain it. Alien ct al. vs. Sharp, guardian. Rule to distribute money, from Monroe. 1. Where suit was brought on a note given by S. as trusteo for his wife, “for purchase money of house and lot in tha town of Forsyth,” and judgment was ren dered thereon, to be made out of tha house and lot named iutbe note, in a con test between the execution issued there under and a younger fi. fa. founded on a judgment against tbe specific property, from tbe sale of which the' fund iu the sheriff’s hands arose,' it vu Competent to show that the consideration of tho note was tbo purchase money of this particular property; aud if shown, the older fi'.' fa. would be equally entitled to the fund. 2. In a contest over a fund in tbe bands of the sheriff arising from the salo of trust properly, If tlie equitable claims of the A. fas. are equal, that funded on tbe oldest fi. fa. wilt take tbe fund. (a) Where a vendor who had given a bond for title subsequently recovered judgment for the balance of the purchase money due, tiled a deed to the vendee, and bad the property levied on, in a con test over the fund arising from tbe sale of the property, the Hen of his fi. fa. would be superior to that of a younger fi. fa, founded on a debt for money borrowed to pay part of tbe purchase money. Peck rs. Wright. Equity, from Polk. A prayer for general relief, in addition to specific prayers, in a bill of equity, will only warrant the granting of relief uerti* nent to the case made by the bill. There fore such a prayer added to a bill, tlie spe cific object of which was to obtain’a tres pass, would not warrant a determination of the title to the premises. Dwinnell-vs. Brown. Complaint, from Floyd. One in possession of land under a claim of right—renting it to another, who et\joys the fall term of tho lease without being iuteirupted or required to attorn to anoth er, the tenant cannot recover back the money paid to his landlord, though the same land may afterwards be recovered from his landlord by action of ejectment or by a voluntary’surrender thereof to a superior title without suit. Morgan vs. Morgan. Money rule, from . Campbell. 1. Where parties in a rule against the sheriff for the distribution of money claim it in their individual characters, and it appears from the testimony that whatso ever of rights they have arise in a repre sentative character, the pleadings should conform to the proof before the same is awarded to cither. 2. A tenant at will or his legal repre sentative u entitled to emblements, whether the tenancy is terminated on notice or by the death of tbe tenant. .3. One renting land from another be comes his tenant although he may not own the land, and the relation of landlord aud tenant exists, with liability to pay tha landlord or his representative tbe amount due for rent. Dent vs. Cock. Certiorari, from Coweta. 1. The age of legal majority in this State is twenty-one years. Anyone of less age, whether male or famaie, is an Infant. 2. Indentures* of apprenticeship during minority do not give to the master any higher rights or greater control over a female apprentice than such as tbe parent could legally exercise and therefore are cot void upon htr arriviug at the age of eigh teen years, as being in restraint of her marriage. Comer vs. Grannis. Equity, from Bibb. Where it does not appear on what ground the presiding judge granted a first new trial, this court will presume that he acted ou sufficient grounds, unless something to the contrary appears. Coffee vs. Adams. Homestead,from Camp bell. The record of the application for an exemption under tbe homestead laws of tlie state, must affirmatively disclose as whose property, whether of tbe husband or wife, the exemption was claimed. For failure in this respect, tho exemplication of the proceedings in securing the ex emption was properly excluded. Toots Styles vs. Tbe Atlanta' and West Point Railroad Company. Case, from Troup. Where defendant’s passenger train was temporarily stopped some distance from the depot for receiving and delivering passengers, until two freight trains in advance of it could be moved out of tbe w*ay, and plaintiff brairded sneb train in search of his wife and child, who were thereon as passengers, and in attempt ing to move from one car to another, by passing around an intervening car, stepped off tlie platform into a culvert fifteen or twenty feet deep, which he could not see on account of the darkness of tiie n ! gUt, thereby sustaining Serious personal injury, Uie company was not liable therefor, even though the lights in some of the cars had beeu blown out by drunken and disorderly men. The exorcise of ordinary care on the part oftbe plaintiff would have avoided the injury.
