In the case of Peck vs. Powers, as outsiders understand it, the suit grew out of a misunderstanding, as to the location of a line fence, Surveyor Brink locating it on one line, and Surveyor Willis on another, and Surveyor Prickett, while ia the main agreeing with Mr. Willis, did not exactly agres with either. So the parties in order that the court might hare all necessary testimony agreed to a continuance for further opportunity to establish the true line if pos­ sible. Some said the variation might be at­ tributed to the chain carriers, and ethers charged to the surveyors. So, a new light having sprung up, with a species ef sponta-, neity. in the science of civil engineering. In the person of Capt. O. H. Tryon he was en. gaged to m&ke still another survey. On Tues­ day, the 5th inst., aided by Thos. McD. Rich, aids, Esq., a practical surveyor, as cbatn ear- rier, Mr. Ttyon ran the lines. With whom he agreed or where he established the lines the writer is uninformed, but tne result of his survey seemed to satisfy both parties, as the case was promptly settled and costs divided. Moral--As blood tells on the race course, so science tells on disputed liaes, and Charley has the scieiice and the instruments. Em­ ploy him and avoid litigation. On Monday, the llth, at noon, F. M. Bunker was startled by a smoke rushing np the stair­ way from the basement of his store. The fire was promptly extinguished by his little son Tracy, who, while the rest were hunting for buckets caught np the sprinkler, and dashed its contents on, and thus » lively blaze was quenchedv4t was a clear case of spontan«. ous conibustioh. Mr. Bunker had received a large invoice of goods packed in excelsior which had been stored in large quantity in a deep dry gosda box, paaked solidly in the hex. The excelsior was stored just before the Fourth. He was saving it for cushioning crockery. Frank says he has no farther use for the stuff about his store. Had it waited twelve or even ten hours, another mysterious (Ire would have remained unsolved and as just as honest man have burned and been charged with incendiarism, so he in addition to his loss might have heard the dark insinu­ ation from the lips of envy.

V Had you passed down jsetith Street oa Thursday evening last you would have wit- nessed a social circle comprised of the aged, middle aged and young of both sexes, gath­ ered on the lawn and in the well ordered par­ lors of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McD. Richards, all welt lighted and seated for the comfort of the guests. Vonns, begirt with her magic girdle, seated in her chariot, was drawn toward the western horizon by her graceful swans, nor did she withhold the goddess' smiles from the charmed circle . Jupiter, too, the model of dignity and majesty of mien, his countenance grave but mild, with the eagle by his side and his sceptre in his hand. looked upon the scene with complacent smiles. And to add to the enjoyment of the occasion, the festive mosquito deigned not to disturb the gayety and merry-making. The occasion was a "reception" given by Mr. and Mrs. Richsrds in old fashioned parlance, the infalr of Mr. and Mrs. Streot, on their return from their wedding trip. The host and hostess, the latter the mother of the groom, Mr. and Jfrs. Ohoate, the parents of the fair, accomplished and happy bride, were at their best and spared no pAins to make every guest glad of the coining.

The refreshments consisted of so extensive and excellent a variety of cakes and fruits that my nomenclature fails me.

At about half past ten the adieus were spoken and ihe company to the number of about one hundred, separated well pleased that they wore numbered among the honored guests. Flour and Feed!
