On behalf of the rule, depositions were offered, which, it was claimed showed a different state of fscts. But, under the practice in such cases, the Court did not allow the depositions to be read, the rule being that when an attorney under oath disputes any ot the material facts upon which sction is taken, or if he claims a portion of the money as fees, the summary proceedings must be discharged, and the parties put to their action at law, to recover tho money as a debt.

Pittaton, July 2a, 1861, An Original Duel.—Old Colonel S., of Wisconsin, was an old genius, a queer compound of comic »eriousness. Replete with jokes, both original and selected, he was not slow in hatching them up and dealing them out in small doses on different occasions. One evening at a party, a young gentleman upon whom the colonel had told some cutting jokes, feeliner himself insulted, challenged the colonel to mortal combat. The challenge was accepted. Having the choice of weapons and the appointment of the place of meeting, the colonel told the young man to repair the following morning at six o'clock to a certain spot, and added, " that he would see that the weapons were there." The following morning, at the indicated time, the young man repaired to the indicated spot; said spot being among the lead mines, was naturally furrowed with mineral holes. "Well, Cnjester," said the oolonel, sticking his ds in his pockets and ejecting a superfluous quantity of tobacoo juice from his oapaeious mouth, " are you ready T" Receiving an affirmative answer,he oontinned: "Here's where we are to fight," indicating a mineral shaft near by, which waa at least fifty feet deep, " and here are our weapons," pointing to a pile of rocks. " You're to go down that ar hole and throw rocks up, and I'm to stay np and throw rocks down." It ia needless to add that the challenge was withdrawn.

Hovr to Prevent Wet Feet.—A writer in the Meobanica' Magizin; says: I have had thiee pairs of boots for the last six years-—and I think I shall not require any more for the next six years to eome.— The reason is that I treat them in the folio ing manner: I pat a pound each of tallow and roeiu in a pot on the fire; when melted and mixed 1 warm the boots and apply it hot with a painter s brush until neither the sole nor tne upper leather will soak in any more. If it is desired that the boots should immediately take a polish, dissolve an ounoe of wax in a teaspoon f'ul of lambiack. A day or two after the boots have been treated with the tallow and rosin, rub over them this wax in turpentine, but not before the fire. Then the exterior will have a coat of wax alone, and ahine like a mirror. Tallow or grease beooaee ranoid, and rots the stitching and leatherj but the rosin gives it an antiaeptio quality, which preserves the whole. Boots and shoes should be so large as to admit of wearing cork soles. Cork is so bad a conductor of beat that with it in the feet are always warm on the ooldest stone floor. Bwotlsnd, I'ettibone and Shook vs. McLean. This wii an iuue asked for by Sheriff Van Loon under the interpleader act. After delaying the case ten days, when called for trial it waa found that the Sheriff had made no return to his writ. Of course there was nothing for the court to act on. The issue was continued to February with very slim chance of trial at that time. The fund in the case is due to a large number of laborers who must wait the result .with such patience aa they can summon. The Court intimated that if " gentlemen of the Bar" would pay a little attention to the preparation of their cases before called for trial it would save much time, expense and trouble.

The contract with defd'te provided that plaintiff was to have $900 per year and 2} percent, on all the profits of all goods sold in his department. This arrangement was carried out until the last 6 months of 1860,during which time it was ascertained that the profits of plaintiff's department amounted to $10,000 but owing to embarrassments originating in 1867, in Dec. 1880 Lambert A Co. suspended payment, when the senior Lambert took it into his head to refuse to pay the 2} per cent, on the profits.

Tbi Atlantic Ocxan —The Atlantic Ocean includes an area of 25,000,000 square miles. Suppose an inch of rain to fall upon only one fifth of this vast expanse it would weigh 360,000,000 tons, and the salt which, as water, is held in solution in the sea, and which, when the water was taken up as a vapor, was left behind to distjrb the equilibrium, weight 16,000,000 more tons, or nearly twice as much as all the ships in the world could oarry at a oargo each. It might fall in a day ; but occupy what time it might in falling this rain is oaloulated to exert so much foroe—which is inconceivably a great—in disturbing the equilibrium of the ocean. If all the water discharged by the Mississippi river during the year were taken tip in one nightly measure, and cast into the ocean at an effort, it would not make a greater disturbance in the equilibrium of the sea than the fall of rain supposed. And yet to gentle ire the Operations of nature that movements so vast are imperceived. ROBERT L. MULFORD, CORTLAND A. BPRAIiL'E Sculptor, and Dealer in MULFORD & SPRAGUE, Foreign and Domestic MARBLE.
