ESTABLISHED 1812. A. CLARK, SOLE AGENT, 400 The distinctive features of this Spool Cot ton are that it is made from the very finest SEA ISLAND COTTON. It la finished soft as tbe eouon from which it in inade. it has no waxlnar or artificial fin ish to deceive the eyes ; it is the strongest. smoothest and most elastic sewing thread in the market ; for machine sewing it has no equal ; it Is wonnd on WHITE SPOOLS. The Black is the most perfect 7JbtlT17 BTiA OK, ever produced in spool cotton, being dyed by a system patented by ourselves. The col ors are dyed by the NEW ANILINE PROCESS, rendering them bo perfect and brilliant that dressmakers everywhere use them instead of sewing silks. A Gold Medal was awarded this thread at Paris 1878. We Invite comparison and respectfully ak ladies to give it a fair trial and convince themselves of its superiority over all others.

J. : Egerton vs. Logan, from Rath ford. An action against an attorney for tncmey collected by him for his client and not paid over is barred by the lapse of three years after demand is made. The Court while feeling itself bound so to decide by the letter ; of the law, expresses its RS5ipP?f he great wrong and fraud pefpetrat d the defendant (ex-Jadge George W. Logao), upon an ignorant and unlettered client. Note. The amount wrongfully withheld by Judge Logan is about 2,000. Ruffin vs. Green, from Franklin. Where an administrator is also the guardian of a ward to whom his intestate was indebted, whatever sum came into the hands of the administrator which was applicable to the debt due the ward is imme diately transferred co imtanti, by operation of law, to him as gusrdi an, without any act done by him as administrator, and the sureties on the guardian bond become responsi ble therefor to the exoneration of the sureties on the administration bond. Where such administrator erroneoudly paid over a portion of the fund applicable to the debt due the ward to the intestate's other creditors, the sureties on the guars dian bond can follow ouch fund in to the hands of those who participa ted in the misapplication. By Ashe, J. : Hilliard vs. Phillips, from Ohatr ham. Declarations of a vendor of land as to the fraudulent character of a deed executed by him, made, after its execution, but while he still re mained in possession, are competent evidence against the vendee. Parol proof is admissible upon the identi ty of land described in a deed ex ecuted by a Sheriff. Cannon va. Morris, from Macon. The act of March 2, 1867, sas f 'ending, the statute of limitations rom May 20, 1861 to January 1, 1870, does not apply to causes of action arising on contracts made af ter May 1, 1865. A bond executed before the adoption ot the C. C. P. is governed by the previous statute of limitation. Hence on a bond executed March 5, 1866, the pre sumption of payment arises March 4, 1876. The act of March 11, 1879 renders either party incompe tent as a witness to rebut the pre sumption of payment. The written evidence taken down in a trial be fore the magistrate is inadmissible to rebut the presumption, even if competent under said statute, when the witness himself can be called. Where the court promptly stored, a counsel who was attempting to abuse his privilege by alluding to the fact that the opposite counsel was related to one of the parties, the 'ourt performed its duty and there is no ground of ex cop 'ion lo either party. Lanier vs. Bell, from ZZalifax. No "laborer's lien" has the effect of a Hen upon land unless the notice of lien ia filed ia the office of the Superior Court Clerk. The lien for material furnished does not at tach on lumber sold, which was not used in the erection, or repair, of a building, unless it was sold with an understanding that it should be so used. Capehart vs. Seaboard B. R. Co., from Northampton. A Common carrier can not by a special notice, brought home to the knowledge of the shipper of goods, much less by general notice, nor by contract even, exonerate itself from the duty of exercising ordina ry are and prudence in the trans portation of goods, though it may by special contract, or notice brought home to the knowledge of the shipper, restrict its liability as an insurer, when there is no neglis fcence on its part. Where the jury finds as a fact that the common carrier has been puilty of negli gence, a stipulation iu the bill of lading that the damages must be assessed before the removal of the goods from the station, or that the claim for losses must be made with in thirty days, is unreasonable and roid. By Dillard, J. : Cobb vs. O'Qagan, from Wilson. Where a defendant who had a cause at issue and standing on dock et for trial, staid at home, thirtys seven miles away in the country, expecting his two counsel to notify him when he case would be called but without any arrangement to that effect, he is not entitled to have the judgment set aside under C. C. P., 133, because one of; his counsel became sick, and the do fendant not being notified was not present at the trial. The defend ant did not use dun diligence and should have attended the court. Bell ys. Cunningham, from Mas con. Where a judgment was ' obtained subsequent to the discharge of the aoiendant in bankruptcy,- but he did not plead the discharge and frequently thereafter promised to pay such jurgmsnt, it is too late to plead the discharge in bar to a mo- tion made tor leave to issue execu tion after the judgment has becom dormant. Brickell vs.- Commissioners of rTi;f p rv-i- ' . 1 juamax, irom jaauiax. County bonds issued during the war for the purchase of salt for the destitute are illegal, being in aid of tne uoniederaev. .Leak vs. Com missioners of Richmond, 64, N. C.j 134, cited and approved. .Simmons ya. Fogcue, from Jones: t ? Where no -of threa CommiiMoni ers appointed to make partiionof real estate withdrew and the other two commissioners: appointed a sub stitute, without objection fromeiths er party, and he co-operated in ex ecuting the partition, the parties being present, it is too late, after such acquiescence, co object to the third commissioner after the report is filed. Besides the report would have been valid if signed by only two of the commissioners. Upon the evidence sent up in the appeal, the Court holds the partition to have been fair and eqwtable. Fobes vs. Branson, from Wake. A seller of goods is answerable for the reasonable consequences of representations made by his agent, but not for their Bpecial effect on the purchaser's mind. The jury are to draw their own conclusion as to the purport of the representations from the evidence. Where there is a misunderstanding as to the terms of the contract, the purchaser should have promptly notified the seller of the goods, on their arrival, of his refusal to take them and fail- in g to do tins, ne is liable. Is sler vs. Koonce, from Jones. Where under a proceeding against a trustee in a trust deed tosecure debts, a foreclosure is ordered, the purchaser at the sale - acquires - the estate, though - the trustor for his heirs or personal representative if he be dead) is . not made a party. The failure to make them - parties to the foreclosure suit may give them a right to require a re-sale and an appropriation to them of the surplus, but iMofeerpeaea obsta cle to an action brought by the pur chaser for possession. ' Pattoa vs. Ship man, from Hen derson. ' ... r.rtl . Previous to the present cohitita tion, the Superior Court had juris diction when the sum sued for, prin cipal and interest, amounteato $100. - Where an action for a sum less than $200, was pending in the Superior --Court! upon the adoption of the present constitution, - it was properly transferred to the new Superior Court. Ey .Ashe, J. : Davis vs. Moss from Wilson. Petition to re-hear same case, 80 N. C. 141. The former decision reversed on the ground that the at tention of the court was not called on the previous argument to sec. 3C6 C. C. P., and the cause dis missed, it not having been brought as a Quo Warranto by the Attorney (General in tho name of the People on elation of the claimant. Ilenly vs. Wilson, from Chat ham. An instruction of the judge bes low, that a devise of "all my land on botn sides ot Haw river, in Chatham county, together with mills and appurtenances, being the property known as the McClanahan mills," was color of title in the devisee, provided the jury should find that the tract was well known by such name, its metes and bounds all ascertained and the land had t . i a neen iu tne actual auverse iosses sion o the devi3ee and those claim ing under him, up to those bounda ries, for seven years, excluding the time durinz which the statute of limitations was suspended, was suf ficient. A finding of the jury un der such instructions that the plain tiff held under color of title was equivalent to finding that the name set out in the will was well known, etc. The name of a place, if well known, with settled metes and bounds, is of itself a sufficient iden tification. 7ndeed the phrase "all my land on Haw liver," it not ap pearing that the devisor had any other land there, would have been sufficient. Where the flooding of the plaintitt s mill wheel, caused by the defendant, is aggravated by acts or tbe plaintiff, it does not ex cuse the wrongful act of the defend ant, though it mitigates the amount of damages. Two countrymen were looking at a watch "marked down in a show window, which among other virtues, showed the day of the' month, day of the week and the moon.

It o them, The main . point brought ont-in each one is that girls should be taught tq cook ana doieenere) hoasewock; whatever else their acbomplishmentaj may- be; for, krruns the c avenge: article, a woman euzht- to krrow hovivork ought to be done even ii she does not . have to do it : herself, else the servants will .take ad van tage of her ignorance and the ..do-I mestic machinery will not run very smoothH. And beside, the servant girl might take it bit hr4te4 to b v', uyrfc ftwsff j,w ei 5 ;sx. and m either case .wMt woold mad am do if she didn't knew how' to fet her husband something to eaf ? or he, being a man, would prefer potatoes and beefsteak to the last new song, orj even's kill, if he hadn't had any breakfast. And so the article goes on I to the end of the chapter, and mothers are ad vised, exhorted, cautioned without; stint in hehalf of the girls, while scarcely a word is said regarding the boys. As. the matter now stands it: teems to me rather one sided. Why ignore the boys ? Why not give a little advise in their ; he half ? Why not teach them how. to cook, wash dishes, keep, their own rooms in order, and sew on thair own buttons ? ! Do you say that it 13 not necessary for boys to know how to do such things ? i Then I beg leave to differ with you. Such knowledge stands alboy er man iti good stead many time, and there is no reason why a marl aheuid not be able, jn the absence of other help, to get his sick wife something;. to eat in a proper! manner, and also to put the house to rights and get his meals. It is hot necessary in. or der to do this to know ho if to make flakey pie-crost, snowy bread or delicious oake, but he should know how to make a cup of tea or coffee' and prepare a dish of toast, to cook potatoes or. make a gruel. ; Nor need they Serve a long apprentice ship to gain this knowledge, any more than a girl should devote alt of her time and energy in learning sometimes from what they read that the chief lend of woman; ought to be eookinfiT. dishwashinfir and general' housework'.' No wj IT claim subs it is nec necessary' zor any gin or woman, unless they intend) to make that their, life-work (and! in such casr of course ithej will not wish to -get married for- they'f can not very well attend: to the1 -care of a family of slamil and was cook in a hotel at the same, time,' any more than they oould follow some other pursuit in connection with their family duties), to know 1 how to cook, everything ; in short, become,: walking cook-book. r II is not essential to their happiness nor that of their husbands and children that they know how to make sixteen kinds of cake, twentysfive kinds ef pie, to - cook potatoes , in a , dozen different waysj or make ag- 'manj. kinds of soup. Teach ,the. girls the general , principles of cooking and how to-cook few things well, but do not keep them at it all the time nor give yourself uneasiness for the future because they) do not mani fest as much interest as you desire. Girts do not take the interest in cooking women do, nor ought it te be expected of them. They do not understand why . they should, nor will they ever , uncu they have a home of their own, or ia some other way ceme to have the care and re sponsibility of a housekeeper. But to go back to my starting' point I do not understand by so much is said about fitting "girls to become wiyes and mothers and soHittle said on the! other side.' .So far as I am able to judge, the girls are ai well fitted for the - future as the hoys: in ! other words, the av erage girl is plenty good enough as she is for the aveaaee boy. Not but what there is heed of reform, for there is indeed : but why seek to ref orm one and hot the ' other T Why must a girl be lectured all her life on her duty as wife and house keeper while! the boys go without one word being uttered to them re garding their j duties as husbands ? A Lrtpenu upon it, u u moca suvipe, was bestowed! upon boys as there "i on the girls there t would be happier homes than there are now 1 1 know that much depends; upon the ,wife, but as much i. depends oh the . bna band ia the making: of a trucLhome and untile mothers teaoh their soas as .they do their daughters, to be re and virtneos with alove' for pure a heme and its duties n4 please ures, the matter will ttattd taucji as it;does-now. H' T To close , with, let the' . boys ; and girls hoth ' learn all they can hot book . learning alone,' but" practical things, and do -.not keep the ' girls eooking to the exclusion of etery thing else Don't keep the girls in the house all j the time : doing fancy work Decease! it isn't sice for girls id romp, nor j keep them waiting on their brothers. , Let Julia bring in torn voo4;; while) Tom mends his own mitteni, jQd. let Ton hang np hif icsp and ; dast hia own clothes, and it ; wouldn't hurt him to- help Julia wash the dishes, , then she can help hiinJ4o.hachores.

And when the bear had pulled hisself iegether again and I shuk the dust out of his hair, he sed : "I have observed that lams' tails woz quicker'n lightnin', but I dident know they wos powerfuller, too." t I Just then he seed how it wos, for there stude the ole ram, holdin' down his head, redy to let him have it agin, and shakin' jt, like he sed : I "That little shaver wudent make more'n a mouthful for a feller like you.
