Notes of Hand—A Popular Er ror. [Stndersrille Herald.] The belief obtains almost univer sally. that an entry of credit upon a note prevents its running out of dato, and that eaoh credit gives tho pa|>er a new lease of six years. This how- over is not tho law, but the law de clares the entries of credits do not keep a note in date, but the balanco unpaid at the expiration of six years, is barred by tho statute of limitation. A,ease of this kind recently came up in the magistrate’s conrt for the 03rd district whore W. T. Wood, Ex’r of tho estate of H. II. Wood dee’d brought suit against. Win. Shorling, and Judge R. L. Rodgers counsel tor defendant showed that tho claim was barred and that decis ions of tho Sifprome Court bold that such credits do not keep them in date. Tho dosign of tho law doubt less is to pro von t tho holder of a note entering a credit without theoousent of the maker in order that tt may not he barred. Our Notary Publio win perhaps knows more law than any othor act ing Notary Publio in tnis district, as well versed in mutters of law as on Post Master, says that entries o orodits should bo* signed by tho ma ker of the note wluoh will give the noto tlio date of oredit.

Electrical Phenomenon. 2\'mex ] During a min storm which pre vailed here on Tuesday last, between 8 and 9 o’clock a. in., the telegraph pole nearest the office was struck by lightning, the current entering the oifioo of tho operator breaking the wires and melting tho brass fixtures in several places. Onr olftcieut de- S »t agent and telegraph operator, r. E. E. Wilkins, did not escape unscathed. Having but an instant before the accident removed bis lin ger from the machine, he was severe ly shocked, his knee and foot nearest the battery being most affected, liis escape was most wonderful, and due. certainly, to the removal of his hand from the machine, luckily just in time, Mr. Wilkins is a very popular offi cor of the road, aud it is the wish of this community that henceforth he will stand ideal* wlion the forked lightning begins its pranks.

This splendid machine combines all tbe improvements. Is far ahead of all others in beauty ami durability of its work, ease of management, light running and certainty of operation, is sensibly made upon sound principles, with positive working parts all steel, and can be safely S ut down as the perfection of a Serviceable liuttlo Double Thread Sewing Machine, in every particular, that will outlast any machine, and at a price far down below any other. It is thoroughly warranted for five years. Kept in order free of charge. And sent to any part of the country for examination by the customer before pay ment of the bill. Wc can predict equally as largo a demand for them in this section as in others. Families desiring the best machine manufactured should write direct to the factory.
