We ought to listen to the to maxims of experience, and respect the advice and institutions of our ancestors; and above all we ought to have a and grateful sense ofthe superintending goodness of that Almighty Being whose wisdom shines equally in his works and in his word, and whose presence is every where sustaining and governing the universe.

The table of month, is articles shews its usual richness of principal Besides this there is a great amount matter. of statistical and miscellaneous information.

Among its Law Cases is the following report of a case, bringing into view some features of the Exemption law, which we have seen reported before, but not so fully Landlord and Tenant -Action of TrespassEremption Law of New York of 1842. In the Court of Common Pleas, Judge Inglis presiding. Morris Flynn vs. George Barclay and Simon P. Huff.

This was an action of trespass under the act of 1842. It was to recover damages for illegally seizing a horse of the plaintiff's for rent, in violation of the law which provides that, in addition to the articles now exempted by law distress for rent, shall exempted from such distress, and and sale, necessary there. household furniture and working-tools, and team owned by any person being a householder, or having a family, for which he provides, to the value of not exceeding $150.33 In this case, the plaintiff rented a stable, on which rent was due to the defendant Barclay, who procured a landlord's warrant, and levied on the plaintiff's cart-horse, and had it sold. On the the of the plaintiff, it was contended that horse came under the articles exempted by law under the term TEAM, and that therefore the defendants have committed a trespass against the plaintiff by levying on it. The court charged the jury.

The first inquiry whether the property levied on was of that was, sort exempted by the act of April 1842. The emption extends to $120 worth of household furniture, tools, wearing apparel, and team owned by the lodger- -and if $150 worth articles were left, although other articles enumerated amongst those which are exempt, are levied on, and taken away, it does not rerder the person taking them responsible for doing 80. If the articles are not owned by a householder, or man having a family, the law does not exempt them. Much criticism has been resorted to in relation to the word and I have taken some pains by looking into dictionaries and other sources, to ascertain the meaning of that word. But before I state my conclusion as to its legal meaning, I will observe that it often happens that statutes are not drawn up with clerical correctness, or logical or critical propriety, from the persons who do it not paying sufficient attention to these matters.

Therefore, the great and important ques. tion to be ascertained is, as to the sense in which the legislature intended to use the words. It is said that the word team' cannot refer to the horse of a carman, as the word team is used by the best writers as referring to more than one animal, and cannot be held to mean a single horse--and I confess that, so far as the usage of this word by old English authors, it appears, from many examples, that the word I had originally only a plural sense. It is, however, said that the word is not derived from the Latin, but from an Anglo-Saxon word, which means a yoke, and that it does not refer to more than one animal. Counsel says that such i is the proper use of the word, and I think it is, at least in the present case; although ordinarily, when we speak of a team, we mean more than one animal.

But we must look at what was the object of the legislature in ing the law in which this word is used. The object of the statute was obviously to prevent the poorer class having all their little chattels taken away from them, or be deprived of the means of procuring subsistence. With this object in view, we that the law has exempted furniture and a team' from being levied on; and I think, under that view of the law, a horse must be held to mean a team. But for the remarks of counsel, I might have been inclined to think that the legislature meant more than one horse by the word team. But the act was perhaps drawn up by a person who resided in a rural district, and therefore used the word team.

But if asked what did the word mean in case of a farmer, who was so poor that he possessed out UNC would most probably say that the word team' meant but one animal. And, though I say it with some doubt, I think the word team means a single animal. If, therefore, in import and judgment of law, this horse was a then the next inquiry is, was the pl intiff a carman. It appears that he had the mayor's license, dated in August belore; and, although he did not do much work with his horse, and had offered to sell it, his having done so does not take away the privileges conferred on him by this act. As to his being a householder, I think that a man who rents the part of a house comes under the denominaupper tion of householder.

If you come to the conclusion that he was a householder and carman, then the question will be, were there sufficient articles left him to amount to $150. If there were, then the horse was rightfully taken. As this is a special statute, taking away the common-law right of the landlord, it is the plaintiff's duty to make out his case to you plain, and without doubt.

This was an action upon a policy of insurance upon a frame house at the corner of the Third Avenue, which the defendants insured for the plaintiffs, describing as to be kept for a The house took fire and was consumed; and in the progress of the fire, an explosion was caused by a barrel of gunpowder in the grocery. The defendants contended that the policy was annulled by reason of the plaintiff's keeping powder, an extra-hazardous article, on the premises insured. But his Honor, having declared it to be the law that the rights of the plaintiff must depend on the question whether or not it is customary' for groceries to contain gunpowder, and the plaintiff having proved such to be the custom, a verdict was rendered for plaintiffs for $1,500.

SUMMER RESORT. Mr. -Among the numerous and delightful places of Summer resort, which I have occasionally seen or heard extolled, there is one quiet, delightful and healthy spot, which I have never yet seen publicly noticed, either in prose or rhyme." I allude to 66 Highland House," kept by Mr. Schenck, situated about a quarter of a mile from the Telegraph Station, on the hills of Neversink. Here you will find a good, comfortable, clean house, with very commodious accommodations for families or single persons, kept by a plain, respectable family, who take pleasure in making their guests comfortable and happy- -orderly and respectable company--and though last, not least, a right good table.

Therefore, to all who desire to enjoy a healthy and charming retreat -to ramble through fields and woods -climb hills, or explore the crater of a volcano, and return laden with lava, inhale the bracing breezes of the broad Atlantic-or to enjoy from the cupola over Mr. Schenck's house, one of the most extensive and beautiful prospects that can well be imagined -I say, go to the Highland -all these pleasures can be enjoyed there.

Rochester Democrat. A POSER FOR PARSON -We see it stated that Parson Miller is still alive and kicking. Will he be so kind as to explain the following, which we find in the Boston Recorder. MILLERISM VS. MILLERISM.

Or Nebuchadnezzar yet Eating Grass. In the interpretation of prophecy, it is a fundamental principle with Mr. Miller, that a time and times and half a 1260 which are equivalent to each other--are to be interpreted as denoting prophetic time by which, we are told a day is made to represent a year. Of course the period which is signified by each of these expressions is 1260 years. By the same principle of interpretation the expression seven times" denotes double the time of the former period; or 2520 years.

We are told in Daniel, chap. 4th, that Nebuchadnezzar should driven from men, and his dwelling should be with the beasts of the field, and he should eat grass as oxen, and seven times should pass over him." According to Mr. Miller's established Nebu- principle, this must mean 2520 years. chadnezzar lived about 600 years before Christ. 600 added to 1843 is 2443.

This subtracted from 2520, the time that Nebuchadnezzar was doomed to eat grass, leaves 77 years, which yet remain for Nebuchadnezzar to spend in eating grass. Now we request of Mr. Miller two things; first, that he would furnish us with satisfactory evidence from Missionaries in those regions, from foreign travellers, or otherwise, that Nebuchadnezzar is yet ing grass and when he has done that, secondly that, he would inform us how Nebuchadnezzar is to continue to eat grass, to fulfill the prophecy, until the year 1920, while the end of the world is to be between March 1843 and March 1844! From he Georgian. INTOLERANCE- -THE RECENT INSULT TO MR. -It is a strange anomaly that persons frequently prefer to see a person of no religion at all than of one differing from theirs.

The bitter hatred existing between the Puritans and the High Churchmen of the British Commonwealth is a matter of history. The recent insult to our Minister at the Court of St. James, at Oxford University, is a fresh example of this, as it was understood that the objection to his receiving a degree was his Unitarian views of Christianity, while it is notorious that in times past avowed Infidels have received the honors of that orthodox school. This tendency in many to prefer (practically) no religion to one differing from their own, reminds me of an anecdote of Louis XIV. so illustrative of it that it will bear repeating, even to those who recollect it The Duke of Orleans proposed to him an Embassador to Spain, whom he accepted, but the next day recalled because he had heard he was a Jansenist.

By no means, your Majesty," said the Duke, for, as far as I know, he does not even believe in a God." May I depend upon that asked the King, gravely. Certainly," replied the Duke, smiling.

Almost every which arrived from Eufrom March to October, 1842, saw ice on rope the Atlantic. It was abundant--flowed early, and continued to flow late, and must have divested the arctic pole of its frigid covering. Some mighty convulsion must have put it in motion and kept up its flow.
