Old Dominion Magazine. The De
cember number of this excellent peri
odical published at Richmond, Va
has reached its, and the choice matter
with w hich it is filled made it a wel-
come visitor, me contents cmurace
articles from some of the most popular
writers in Virginia, which will be pad
with interest. , 'Gertrude of Wyoming,'
by T. B. Balch, D. D., is a pleasant
Story of Virginia life in former days ;
"The Nightingale," trpnslated lroni the
French, is concluded; Hannah Marsh
contributes quite a readable ' ittle
romance lentitled "Buried, but not
Dead ;; the conclusion of the interest
ing story by Mrs. N. . Ogg, ''Carrie
Clifton," is given. A chapter on "Mar
bles," by Win. N. Nelson, is decidedly
good, and brings to mind the hanpy
days or boyhood.' A short Crmstmas
story, entitled "The Little Red Break-
last Cape, byJMary Wilkinson,and 'l he
Iron Captain,' are both excellent. A
very interesting sketch or "Home,77 and
its author, John Howard Payne, is also
good reading ; and the same may be
said of a revicw of Gen. Wise's "Seven
Decades of the Union." Mrs. Wallace
concludes her charming story of "Mrs."
'Judge i Clayton's Post-ofhce" m this
number. In addition to the above will
be found some sweet pieces of poetry ;
"the Editor's Table," full of reliable
items ; book, notices, and useful house
hold recipes by Mrs. Judge Clopton.i
We hope the Old Dominion will meet
liberal support during the present year.
As it has great merit we recommend it

for the Insurance Company in Mobile.
The answer ot the Company that Mc
Coy's power as agent had bee,n revoked
about the commencement of the war in
1861 and that the plaintiff was duly
notified of the revocation, and that ccn
sequently anv payments she' might hato
made since that time were of no bind
ing effect upon the , Company: " Judge
'Bfatchford to day decided that the evi
deuce did not sustain the allegations of
the. Company. But also holds that the
plaintiff tails to show she paid her pre
mium at the proper date in 1SG3, or at
all in 1S04 and therefore cannot recover.
