Sev eral weeks ao some of tlio creditors stopped In and petitioned the dlstt let court to appoint a receiver. Peters was appointed , nnd ever since that time ho has been holding down tlio farm against all comers. The Scars outfit , In the meantime , had made up their minds not to allow Peters to run thorn off entirely , and made numerous tin eats as to what they would do if ho did not ictlio and leave tliu Held to them. Peters was somewhat nlatined by the threats , and hail a number of able bodied filends .stay with him Thuisdaj evening to assist him in case it was necessary.

The-other tlireo men in the meantime wc-to wotkiug busily with their icvolvura , aud several snots were fired at Peters , some of tb m taumg cftect. The assailants then bioko a hole in the door and entered. The ooy was speedily kicked out of door and tan three miles baic- footed acioss the country to the Plumer house , where ho trave the alarm.

ISCIILASI : t'Minit ot.n i.vvv. .Soldiers pensioned at loss than t,0 per month , and wholly disabled for the perform ance of manual labor by teason of disability on account of which they nro pensioned , are e titled to Increase of pension to that amount per month , and If the disability Is such that they require tlio regular uld and attendance of another per son , they may obtain pension at the rate oi $7 per month. Any pensioner under the old law , whoso disability hhs Increased since date of the IsVio of his last pension cortltlcato , may ob tuln an Increase of pension proportionate to the Increase ot his disability. ADDITION VI. NEW MW. Soldiers pensioned at loss than $13 per month for dis'ibllltv incuned In the service , who are also suffering from ether disability of nuy nature , not due to vicioin habits , may obtain additional pension under the now nvv. Tuis pension commences from tbo dnto of llling the cliim and cannot exceed f2 ! per month. The now law is of special ad vantage to this class of pensioners , for the reason that it they have a disability other tnan that for which they are pensioned , they may obtain additional relief from date of fil ing cliim , and if , in the future , tlio disability for which they weto originally pensioned undortho old law incteascs to such an extent ns to entitle them to more than 513 per month , they may surrender their pension under the new liw nnd resume the pension under the old law at sucti increased into as may bo propoitionnte to the degree ot dis ability nt that time. Pensioners nt less than $13 per month , desiring - siring increase of pension , will liud it to their advantage to apuly unuer both the old and new law , for the reason that any increase up to $13 per mouth will date from the day the claim is filed in the pension bureau , whereas a claim for increase under the old law , will secuto incioased pension duty from the date of examination , which , on account ot thu work in the pension bureau being very much dcla.vcd.is usually some mouths utter the date of llling the claim. iv CASI. or vnvv taw rrvsiov Any invalid pansionor under the now Invv receiving less than * 13 per month may obtain an increase of pension whenever the disabil ity on account of which ho is pensioned in creases in severity to a material extent , ot ho may procure additionnl pension up to $13 per montn on account of any uow or additional disability which ho has incurred since his last medical examination or which Is not in cluded in his ptesont pension certificate. M3VV l.VVV. Any soldier of the United States who ' soivo'd ninety days or moie m the war of the lubcllion , and was honorably dischargedmay obtain pension under the now law if now suf fering from any disability of n permanent na tuio , not duo to vicious Imbits. This pen sion will commence f torn dnto of filing the claim , and the rate of pension is fiom $ < ! to $13 per month , according to tlio degree of dis ability for the porformnnco ot manual labor. Title to the pension is solely dependent upon n service of ninety dajs , an honoinblo discharge and the present existence of a disability , physical or mental , not duo to vicious habits , which causes a partial inability - ity to perform manual laborns a means of live- lihond , etiunl to the degree of disability re quired to entitle a pensioner under the old law to n pension of $0 per month or more. It does not matter what the disability is , if not duo to vicious habits , whether wound , injury or disease , nor is the time and place of the origin or iiiouirenco of the same In any way material. Title to pension under this law is no way dependent upon the soldier's pecuniary cit- cuinstances. The fact that ho is able to per form skilled or professional labor to such an extent ns to enable him to earn n comfort able support , or the fact that he bus an In come sulilcioat for his support , has no bour- ng upon his tltlo to pension under this law WIDOWS. The widows of soldiers who died from dis ease , wound , or injury incurred in the United States seivico uro entitled to $13 per month , mid $1 additional for each child under the ago of 10 yearto date from the day of the soldiei's death , except in cases whore tlio death occurred prior to March 10 , 1SSC > , when the rate is $ S per month up to said date and J13 per month thereafter. WIDOWS' xi w i.vvv. Thowidowt. of soldiers who served ninety days or mete in the late war und wore honor ably discharged are entitled to pension under the new law at trie tate ot fb per month , and $3 additional for each child under the ago of JO years ; piovided , that the widow was mar ried to the soldier prior to June 37 , IhOU , and Is now dependent In whole or in part on nor own labor for her support. Tlds pension commences from the unto of llling the application therefor , and is payable whether the soldier's death was o ausod by disease or Injury Incurred in the United States service or not. Widows may obtain pension under the now law pending the settlement of their claims to pension under the old law without losing any rights which accrue to them under the old law. If a widow receives a pension under the new law , and afterwards establishes her riL'iit to a pension under tnu old law , stio will receive pension for the who o period from the date ot the soldier's death , less the 5" > n- sion which has been paid to her in tbo mean time under the new law ; In other words , she will receive an additional ft per month for the whole of the potiod dining which -she drew pension under the new law , and In addi tion thuioto , pension from the date tlio sol dier died to the d ita of the commencement of the now law pension. Whenever n soldier or sailor of the late war dies fiom causes otlginatliig In the serv ice and line of duty , leaving no widow , his children un ler sixteen years of ago uro en titled to all the pension to which the widow would have boon entitled were she living , up to the date the youniroat bocomoi 111 years of ago. In case of the lomarrinijo of u sol dier's widow the pension which sno has been drawing or to which she would otherwise boontitlod , is payable to the childtcn under 10 years of ago at tbo date of her rcninirlauo and continues until the youncojt child touchoi the age of 10 years. Children have the same rights under the now law , no matter what thu cause of the soldier's death , provided they have not sulll- cient income fiom sou i cos other than their own labor for their comfortable support , ex cept that tuo pension dooi not communuo until the date of llling a claim therelor.

Fir Q.3J nomic reasons before maKing ap plication to the patent ofllco for a patent , the novoltv nnd patentability of the inven tion should be nsceitaincd , because , if the nvcntion is not now or not patcntabio an unnecessary expense is incurted by llling an application on which a patent can never bo granted , etc. 'Iholirst thing to bo done is to find out whether or not the invention is new ana palcntablo. For advice on the point it is necessary to send to tlio bureau a ront'h or complete sketch or a photograph of the invention , to gether with a biicf description thoicof , setting forth the object ot the Improve ments , the aitangemi'nt of the paits and the advantages attained. While a model is very seldom necessary , yet it is often of great assistance. The latter can bo made ot any cheap material , ard will be letuincd if n request is made to that effect.

In this connection it Is recommended that the best und safest course Is to have u special search rondo in the patent otllco to ascertain whether or not the invention has been heretofore patented. Tno advantage of such a search is that it noauticipaiin r patent is dlscovcicd the application ciin bo Hied with u gieator decree of certainty , whereas If the invention is lound to bo old all further ex pense is avoided. The cost of n search of tills nature is $ . " > , and with the report of the result thereof the in\enter will bo furnished with copies of such patents , if any , as em- biaco his ideas. It Is much better to have this search made in the outset before incur ring any expense whatever regarding the ap plication for patent. If it is found that the invention is now aud patentablo the client .s advised to proceed with the tiling of mi application for patent , and will then bo requested to letntt 15 to cover the Hist government fee and 55 in payment of cost of drawing , when ono is necessary. As soon as possible after the leccipt of this lemittauco the specification of the invention will bo carefully prepared nnd forwarded to the inventor , together vith lorms lor application lor patent lo.iuy tor execution. Upon return of the latter tlio case will bo promptly ilied at the patent ofllco nnd notice .vlll be sent whoa action is had there on , nnd also of the nature of such action.

A trademark Is n fanciful or arbitrary de vice or symbol used to distinguish the goods of n pirtlcular manufacture. The owner of every trndc'innrk Is entitled to register the name , no matter how lone It tins been in uso. The life ot the certlllcMto of registration Is thirty years nnd may be renewed for n like period Tlio government fee , puvable on llling each application for registration of trademark , Is fi't. The bureau's charge Is about $ W. IllllC N. Labels of nil kinds , designed to bo at tached to manufactured nttlclo * or to bottles , boxes , etc , containing them , have heretofore been received for legistration in tha patent ofllco nnd u cettlllcnte Issued accordingly. Under u very recent decision of the supreme court of the United States It is held that there Is no authority in law for granting cor- 1 1 II cat en of logUtratlon of labels which simply designate or describe the ar ticles to which thov are attached , nnd which have no value senainted therefrom. A label to bo entitled to togistration must have by Itself some viiluo as a composttlo i , at least as serving some purpose or ether than as a mcro designation or advertisement. Many now holding certificates of tegistiatioii of la bels are totally without any protection what ever. Many registered labels comprise sub ject imtter resHterab'o ' us trademarks. Whenever this is < o. or whom bv n slight change it can be made to come within the purview of the laws govcrnlnc tradomatks , registration should oo sought under this hend. The govtninont fee in u label case Is * 0 and the bureau charge Is $3"i. ( 'ottjrl.liti can bo had for books , maps , engravings , photographs , piintlngs pictutos , etc. The total cost thereof U about $0 , including all fees. An inlet feronco is n judicial proceeding in stituted under the diicctlon of tlin commis sioner of patents to enable him to do- tcimino the question of prioiity of Invention between livid claimants. The bureau , recognl/lng tlio fact that extiaor- dlnary caio and skill nto tcqnisito on tliu part of an attorney in charge ct a case In In- tcrfetcnce has at its command counsel nrc- paied to conduct n case in interference fiom the very Inception down to n final dctei initia tion of the met its of the cau o. Testimony will also bo taken undorour diieetiou in any part of the United States. While no spr cillc sum can be s > ct down as applicable to all in- terfci once cases alike , jet ttio charges will ulwajs bo as reasonable as possible. Inli injj The question whether or not ono patent in- f tinges another is tile very soul of all patent litigation. The ( tuestioiib involved are 'ninny , and of ttio most intricate natuto. It is al ways a matter ot such gieat importance that no ono should over claim that another Is in fringing on his tixhts , or , likewise , no atten tion should be paid to the claims of infringe ment by other- , until tlto questions involved ate carefully passed upon by a teliablo at- totnoy. Tor such sot vices the char/es are always fair and teasonablc. KorHfjii Patent" . In addition to the buieau's facilities for attending to the interests of its inventor-pat rons before the United States patent olllco and couits , it is also enabled to procuto witoi'ts for inventions in all countries of tlio world. In many of the foteipn coun tries , notably Canada , Knclatid nnd Ger many , patents for inventions previously patented in thisionntry mo looked upon with cicat favor , ami inventors urn there very fiequently mote likely to roah/o piolUb from their inventions than they are even in this countty. Thoost of foreign patents vniioswith different cases , out as a general rule the expenses of procuting patents , covering oring all ehaiges. is about as follows : Canaun , $50 ; England , J'U : Germany , $90 : Franco , ? b" ; Spain , J'.lO ; Hnliuin , $00. Ad ditional information regard in K tlio cost , etc. , in any foteisjn country will bo furnished oy letter on application. In all such requests mention haviiif lead those instructions in Tin ; IJni. . Important Wiirnln . It seems remarkable that in this enlight ened ago it becomes tbo duty of every re liable and trust vorttiy nttornc.v in patent matters to advise his clients to beware of the many sharks who sot out with the up- paient intention of defrauding invontois immediately after the issue of their patents. When a patent appeals in the Patent Ofllco Ga/etto patentees aie beset with Innumer able offers , solicitations , icquosts , etc. , some preteni'iug to watit to piucliaso their pitents , whllo others offer to take an intetost therein under promise of ptocuring foreign patents. The solo object of those peopln is to obtain , nionov from inventors , and they never make the slightest endeavor to carry out their giouudless or worthless promises. MoilclH. As herainboforo mentioned , models nro not requited in tlio patent olllcc except in intri cate or complicated cases. But at the same time wlinn an invention can bo better ex plained bv a model it Is w ell to send the. same to us. A iiiodei should always ba of n size not larger than ono .squato foot , and in send ing the same by oxpioss the charges should be piopald and the box addio sej to Tin.
