Mitcheii. jjjsiory cf the Case.--7he Verdict dard, t e- ; " The. trial nf a verv int.firnstn', ami ini- portant salt which has been ia progress eight days was concluded in circuit court No. i and submitted to the jury on Tuesday night. I he case, under the instructions of the court, involving the title to an undivided halt oi eleven acres of land, in the city of St. Louis, fronting on Caroudelet avenue, aud lo- cated lust north t the Arscna'. . I he nartics to the suit were Lucien Cubanno and others, heirs of John 1$. Cal anne, deceased, plaintiffs, agaim-t Thos. Walk- er and others, liens oi xsaac w aiser u&- flndants. I he facts in the case are interwoven with and form xnite an interesting por tion in the early history of St. Louis. The title to the property in controversy has formed a bone of contention between different parties for nearly half a century. lhe first claimant oi the properly was Pierre Fraucois HeVoIse, who obtained a grant for 340 arpents, which embraced the land now in dispute, from tha Span ifti governor ot tne territory, upon tne condition that he should cultivate the land 'within a year aud a day from the date of the grant. l)e olsey appears to have teen a sold ier of fortune, who was not remarkably successful in the acnui.-mon ot wealth Atone time he served with some dis tinction as an officer in the French army, l :.,:.! ; ,.,A f UUtA lljuiwu in iuc L'l ijuu nui; KJl i Knight of the linyal Order of St. Lou- is. coming to tins couuery at an eany day, he married aLout the 3 ear 1700. Like several other titled and untitled Gentlemen whose names apcear in his tory, DeV olsey had "more heirs of love than law," and one of them was a natu ral daughter by a mulatto mistress, upon whom he seemed to lavish the whole wealth of his effections. and to whom he Iott, by will, his estate. De Volsey died in 17'J5, leaving a childless widow. At the time of his death he was living with his natural daughter, having separated from his wife many years previous. An act of Congress was passed in 1S12, confijming .aj.l te Spani.-h grants when the claimants had -"inhabited, cultivated or possessed" their claims prior to De cember, 1803, and further providing that the lands covered by these grants should not be subject to entry by other parties or to sale by the United States, between the year 1S03 and 1829. The act also provide iSizt claimants un der these Spanish gran j be requested to tile the evidence of their titles and prove up their claims before the land commission. In 17U9 one Joseph Bra zeau obtained a grant of certain lands from the governor of the territory of Louisiana, which embraced the 240 nr pents and included the 11 acres iiow in controversy. The grant to Brazeau re cited the alleged fact that the land so granted had .co known owner. In 1817 John li. Cabaune purchased of Fran cesca Du Preys, the natural daughter of DeVolscy, who was then a widow, all the land granted to DeVolscy by the con cession of 1705, for the consideration of $500. In 1820 Joseph Papin entered the eleven acres in question, and the year following obtained a patent there for. In 1834, Congress passed anolher act confirming these old Spanish grants excepting that portion 01 tijem wnicu had been sold and patented to other par lies in accordance with tho laws of the United States. After this latter act of conarmatioa John Ii. Sarpy, the agent and son-in-law of Cabannc, took possession of the premises. Some years later Papin sued Sarpy for the possession of the land. The suit was carried up to the supremo court of Missouri, and was .decided in Papin's favor, who thereupon took pos session and subsequently sold the land to Isaac Walker. After this the school board brought a suit against Walker for the land, claim ing that the tract was included in the school lands reserved for school purposes under tha laws of Congress. This suit was decided against the school board and Walker continued in possession. Last of all, some three or four years ago, the present suit was brought. The plaintiffs in their petition claimed title to the entire tract, but the court ruled that under the Spanish law which pro vides that husband and wife sha'l be equal partners in the ownership of all property acquired by them or either of them during the existence of iho mar riage relation, DeVolsey could .oqly con vey an undivided halt of his property, by deed, will or otherwise, and that;con- sequently the plaintiff in no event could recover more than an undivided half of the land ? u?d for. The case has been hotly contested on both sides. Messrs, Hill & Jewett and Jobnl- Darby, Esq., appeared lor the plaintitt, and .Messrs ulover and bhenlev tor the delence The jury at a little after noon on yes terd3', returned a verdict for the plain- tin tor the undivided halt cf the land, nr.

IFrom the Loubvillo Courier-Journal. For some time the mora hnrtimliatA I friends of Mr. Greeley have knofl. that, though nominally returned to his place aseditor ot the Tribune, he has been able to perform none of its duties. Dur ing several weeks before the death of his wit i he has watched her bedside with the constancy and eagerness of his na ture. He tended her drv-time and night time until she died, and her death left him prostrate from loss ot sleep and nervous anxiety. There is no doubt, we take it, that the result of the Presiden- ,tia! election CQtuijr. speedily upon this cad lnri.ict? liflwiatrdtnpnl fV!lwirb m nrfl than usual painfulncss upon his acute v.. . .w. w v ... . , and rjuickene id sensibilities It was not so much the disappointment of defeat, I fnr Mr rjroolpu i nsit. a man tn br nri- ously depressed by losses of a material or ambitious kind.

In this way, being an old man, he Quite broke dowu under an esaeratcd 'beac of domestic sorrow and popular reproach. If our theory is correct, his case is ai peculiat as it is painful, and we do not think wc arc very far wron"r in our surmise. o uian ever lived with impulses more tender and emotional than those of Mr. Greeley.

TES HOLSS KSSibs. - As there seems to be scarcely a doubt that we have the horse distemper among us, the Herald will endeavor to set forth, in as few words as possible, the symptouis, Ireatcacat and effects of the disease. Being a great lover of the horse, and apprehending that our time must come sooner or later, we have watched the course of the disease close ly, and compared the treatment and remedies offered carefully, clipping out for reference, perhaps, fifty different modes of treatment, "hints and sugges tions'' from our numerous exchanges, and comparing thern. SYMPTOMS. Prostration of strength ; less of ap petite, hot mouth and sore throat ; swal lows with difficulty ; coughs frequently : pulse pick, 50 to 70 ; eyes watery and red ; discharge from nose j cold legs and ears ; disposition to croop ; looseness oi bowejs. TREATMENT. Keep tLo patient well blanketed, in a .clean, .airy stabie ; give it a steaming, by plaripg a peck of scalded oaN into a bag, aud so tying this to the head that the steam from the oats will be inhaled, un .til discharge from nostrils is of a natural color : sponge eyes and nostrils with lukewarm water several times during the day. If tie throat is sore or swollen give the following by rubbing it well from the jaws to the chest, twice a day : Tine ture of Arnica, Chloroform, Ammonia, Sweet Oil, each lour ounces; mix well If the legs are cold, baudagcihem loose- ly.

Medicines, however, aro but a poor" resort ; cood tursincr is tha mai,i and beet "holt" you can take, to cure the' zoot. Uy good nursing, we dp not mean standing a horc still in tho stall and. blanketing him to death. The injudi cious use of blankets has killed Pianv a' horse. Blanket only to protect from" chill, not to steam andsffcat; neither' lo we think absolute rest to mean stand-' ing in the stall, Every horse should bo' walked about every day when pleasant,' or turned out in a warm yard. The discharge which frightens most' people so, is the best pymptom, and in fact all the cautions about blanketing, not working, Icepiog wind off, fcc., is simply to prevent this discharge from being stopped or driven in and the' ducts closed; when this happens the" horse dies. The owner of Butcher Boy says : TLe horses are the worst who were1 worked the longest after" the disease at-' tacked them. Mr. George Sa-very, who has been" where the disease prevails ;'q its worst form, writes back to the keeper of hi, valuable horse "Butcher Boy," that if he gets sick to blanket him well, give him the fieedom of a wide stall, a good bed, feed him warm mash, keep him out' of cold drafts of air, and let him alone ; ted if a horse doctor attempts give him medicine of any kind, shoot the doctor on the spot This is the most successful treatment where the disease is the most severe, and it ;s the most sensible. There ia doubt it will have its run' here, as elsewhere, and country hone' will be no exception. Farmers will do' well to use ,thejx horses with caution,' and when hey come to tho city, drive slow, load light, and if they leave their teams fur any length of time, have them protected from wind and cold They had better drive their teams into' town and house them La a warm place, than to seek to avoid the disease by leaving them outside the city, exposed to cold and wind; for by thus doing they may lose their teams, by tho very means by which they sought to eavo them. Whatever you do for your hor ses, do not give a cathartic, as it is fctal. Keep cool, let your hair grow, and don't pull or drive your hordes and the "Zoot" will soon leave. It take from1 ten to twenty days for its course to run,' and the danger lies mostly in the first five days."
