tween Mr. Harris, contractor on the
building, and Mr. Quinn Bohannan, who
was employed by Harris to do some
painting, and who recently came from
Missouri. The trouble seemed to be
something about Bohannan'spay. High
words led to Ihe flourishing of a stick
and a hatchet by Mr. Harris and the
display of a revolver by Bohannan.
During the melee the revolver was dis
charged, whether accidentally or other
wise our informant ' was unable to say
(and probably the parties themselves
cduld- uqt tell). 2io damage was done,

A somewhat interesting law suit was
had in Judge Child's court last Monday,
which may affect various claiir s of the
same character throughout the State.
It appears that a firm named Kirkhao
k Cone, of Iowa, appointed Mr. Jasper
Bed well, of this county, their agent to
sell a patent seeder which they were sole
proprietors of. The seeders were to be
sold at $75.00 each, and the agent was
to have $25 and the owners cf the pat
ent $5'J from the sale of each machine.
The agent was to be appointed for the
term of ten years, and Messrs. Kit kham
k Cone were to have the entire proceeds
of the sale of the first four machines.;
In order that there might be no misun
derstanding in regard to the matter, Mr.
Bcdwcll gave his note for 100 to the
owners of the patent, to cover the $25
on each of the first four machine?, after
which Mr. Bedwcll was to have the en
tire profits. The note was given with
the understanding" that it was simply a
memorandum cf the agreement, upon
which no payment was required except
as stated above. The patent proved to
be a swindle, and no machines were ever
sold. The notes were sold (or trans
ferred) to Mr. Granville Ensign, who
commenced suit to recover. A jury was
had, and tho defendant's attorneys
(Maxwell k Chapman) set up the plea
that the note was obtained through
fraud, and that Mr. Ensign knew of the
fraud when he came in possion of the
note. There was no positive evidence
that he knew of the fraud, but there
were many circumstances in connection
with the matter which were viewed as
sufficient evidence of such knowledge.
The jury ret imed a verdict in favor cf
the defendant.

ANOTHER MASTERY SOLVED.
Chemists being unable to discover th
ingredients in fragrant Suzodout, which
removes all stains from the teeth and im

that it is a preparation from the Park of
Quil'aya Saponaria or Soap Tree of
Chili, imported fcr the first time into
this country for this snviai purpose.
Such is the purifying and inocous effects
of this rare botanical agent, that it re
moves discoloration? from the most frag
