Decision by Jed Korrisan in Ftvcr of the Grsnssrs. Arising oat ot the FcJtere ef Hr$zm Sons. Judge Morrison delivered an im portant oral decision yesterday, in the . caeeof Charles Gieen et al, vs. Daniel Meyer et al. There are seve ral similar actions now pendinfi, and the amount of money involved in the transactions between the Grangers and Meyer approximates $1,000,000. The opinion is as follows: This action is in the nature of tro ver, and the averment in the com plaint is that on the 21st of October, 1874, the plaintiff was the owner and entitled to the possession of the fol lowing goods and chattels, that is to say: 15,453 sacks of wheat, of the weight of 2,410,018, of the value of $51,000 and some odd dollars. Ti e evidence in this case shows that the house of Morgans Nons was doing business in the city of San Francisco, and engaged principally in receiving for shipment and sale in foreign ports wheat lrom the' far mers who were known s Grangers; that, under the ti e contract between this house and thefarmers,this house undertook to ship grain belonging to the Grangers, and to make cer tain advances. The evidence shows that the wheat was to be shipped in the names of the farmers the own ! ers. 31r. Green and others sent f Vallejo this wheat to bo shipped on ou the vessel called the The Pride of j if"ie ol alcott, who was the agent j ue jiorgaus oons iiere, procured bills of lading in the name Morgans Sons, and invoices in the same form and the same name, and a policy of insurance to Daniel Meyer and transferred them to him ; where- upon jieyer made advances upon this wheat. Morgans Sons failed to j pay these Grangers the advancesj which they had agreed to pay them, J and when the plaintiff ascertained what had been done in respect to this wheat, he went to Daniel Meyer and demanded of him the possession oT the property. Meyer refused to d Her the this action. possession, and hence The law is well settled in this tvourt, in tne case of YA right vs.Sol oraoii, 19th Cf l. l:,-jOt;': "The fac tor cannot pledge as security for his individual debt the goods of his principal consigued to him for sale." The cvidcuce shows that this was a pledge made by Morgans Sons, through their aeut Walcott, for money advanced bv Mever to Wal cott for Morgans Sons; that the money was ap ropriated by the house of Morgans Sons to their own use. Morgans Sons were factors; aud under the authority of this de cision of the Supremo Court they had no power, they had no right to pledge this property for the security of money advanced to' them. It is shown by the evidence that Morgans Sons were to advance one cent per pound upon upon this wheat, for the Granger i. But they had. no right to pledge this propei ty for the pur pose of raisin g that' money. Thai never entered into the contemplation of the owner of the property ; and that right did not vest in Morgans Sons iu their relation of factor. It is said that this rule has been changed by the Code; that the rule that the factor ca .not nlede the goods of hia priucipal as security for i his ow n debt, has been changed by the Code; and the Court is referred in support of that proposition to sec tion 2,1)91 of the Civil Code, which is in this language; "Ono who has allowed another to assume the ap parent ownership of property for the purpose of making any transfer of it, cannot set up his own titlo to defeat a pledge of the property made by the other to the pledges who re ceived the property in good faith in the ordinary course of business and for value." Tho answer here is that Mever did not receive this property in good faith,; The Court does not intend to impute to Meyer any actual fraud, bu the ingenuously admits tuat he knew at the time he advanced this money to Walcctt for Morgans Sons, that the Grangers were the owners of the property; therefore hp did not receive it in good faith within the meaning of the law. The next cpiestion arising in this case is, has this plaintiff a right of action in trover against Meyer for the conversion of this property? I can see no good reason why he has not. There was a conversion of this prope rty by Meyer. The assignment to him of the bills of lading, etc., passed to him title to the property and operated as delivery, a construc tive delivery at least; such delivery as only could be made under the cir- cumstances. The property was at sea: and when Green, who was the owner of the property, demanded the possession of it from Meyer, it ! was Mejer's duty to deliver the pos session to Green. That could have been done by a reassignment of tlo bills of lading. But he refused to do that, and now snys that he had already sent the bills of lading to Eu- rope. The evidence shows that he had placed these bills of lading out of his power and could not assigu them. But that is no defense to this action. He was guiltv of the eon - version of the property, and the light ,t antmn orietu it fitvir .-wf 4lm nloin. . w uwivru u uiu vy vub uiuu- ! tiff. ' Let judgment lc entered in favor ' ot ihe plaintiff for $31,053 77 with THREE ESSENTIALS FOR BUTTER. In making fancy butter there are three essentials color, texture and flavor. The color .must be a rich golden yellow; the texture firm, te nacious, waxy, with that nutty flavor nnd smell which imparts so high a degree of pleasure in eating it. But ter of the very highest quality will bring SI a pound readily. A Phila delphia maker who receives this price, gave J. B. Lyman of Boston these facts as to his management : He feeds on clover or caily mown hay; cut fine, moistcns.and mixes in com- j tiou of pipes, according to their rm meal and wheatsu idioits; feeds of- j tionality and chronolological order, ten, and a little at a time; uses no a few days before his death ho sum- roots except carrots; keeps his pas- U'om weeds; keeps the temperature of the milk-room at 58 degrees; skims clean; stirs the cream in the cream pot; churns once a week; just before tho butter gathers he puts a bucket of ice cold water into the churn; he works out all the buttermilk without the use of the hand, absorbing the drops with a fine lioen cloth wrung from cold water, and at the second working handle delicately, with fingers as cold as may be; salt nearly 1 oz. per pound. It may be thought by some of ourl readers that wo have too much to sav about good butter. We do not feel so, and we think there is need of say ihg a great deal on this important subject. Wo had occasion, within threat weeks, to buy a tub of butter for our family use; and though we went to a wholesale store where there were many tons of butler stored, we were told there was none anion;? it as good as we wanted, and that there t was probably none to be had; and if I it could be found,, the price would be higher than that we naid last fall. f wr r ivl-tm aw ar a a Ww Iaa Yin 1 1VVB W BMVtilb n A V AO I4UW IUV srivs tnat tnere snouId be so roucu poor butr made that will, if it sells at all. only brinor a small price, when it is in the power of many who now make poor butter to make a good ar ticle that will always sell, and bring a good price.

A curious fulfillment of a . dream occurred at the battle of Prain Grove, Ark., under my own eyes. . A man by the name of Joe Williams had, told a dream to many of.Jiia fellow-soldiers, some of whom had re lated it to me, months previous to the occurrence which I now relate. He dreamed that we crossed a river. mcrcbed over a mountain, and camped near a church located in a wood, near which a terrible battle ensued, and in a charge, just as we crossed the ravine, he was shot in! the breast. On the memorable 7tla of December, 18G2, as we moved al double-quick to take our place iu il m a i w lue line oi oaiue, men ajreauy iioi ly engaged, we passed Prairie Grove church, a small frame building be- i longing to the Cumberland Presby- Brians. I was riding on the ilank of the command, and opposite to to Williams, as we came iu view of the house. "This is the church, Col onel, I saw in my dream," said he. J made no reply, and never thouflit of the matteragain until in the evening, We had broken the enemy's line and j were in hot pursuit, when we came j up to a dry ravine in the wood, nnd j Williams said "Just on the other side j of the bellow I wan shot in my dream 1 nnd I will stick my hat under my j shirt."

L. IV. fA'u-in Tore? Christian Alrw,'r, . He Smoked Four Tons of Tobacco and Died. .. Mr. Kalaes,who waskuown among his acquaintances by the name of the king of smokers, has just died near Rotterdam. He had erected a mansion, one room which was devo- ted to the arrnngments of a collec- j moned his lawyer and made his will. in which he directed that all the smo kers in the cou itry should be iuvi ted to the funeral, and that each should be presented with ten pounds of tob:icco and two Dutch pipes of newest fashion, on which should bo engraved the name, arms and date of the decease of the testator. He requested all his relatives, friends nnd funeral guests to be careful to keep their pipes alight during the fu funeral ceremonies, after which they should empty the ashes worn their pipcBou the coffin. The poor of the neighborhood who attended to his last wishes, wero to receive annual ly, on tho anniversary of his death, ten pounds of tobacco and a small cask of good beer. Ho desired that j his oak coffin should be lined with ! the cedar of his oldHavana cigar box es, and that a box f French capso- ! ral nnd a packet of o'd Dutch tobac co should be placed at the foot of his coffin. His favorite pipe was to le placed by his side, nloug with a box of matches, a flint and steel and some tinder, as ue said there was no knowing what might happen. A correct calculator has made out that Mr. Kalacs had, during his eighty years of life, smoked more than four ou8 of tobacco, and had drank about 500,000 quart- of beer. Ti-og Tune.

The characteristic of the domoe ' tic cow are dependent upon a great 1 variety of circumstances. They mr ' partly hereditary and partly acquired f or implanted ' in the nysteul by the ' managemenradc(pled Wteiring ana r ri treatment for specific purposes. What are called dairy qualities . are not , r stnetly inherent in any particular t breed, race, or family but may flls f found more or less developed iu in- , ' dividual animals not only among the well established breeds, but al so among those not recognized as j belonging to any particular breed, as . , the common, or "native," stock o i the country, T li a larmer ciesucu to coueel a djtfry-stock for any'pecial purpoiio like that of the production of butter -or cheese, or the manufacture of ' large quantities of milk for, sale, as such, or for the supply of what is. known as the family cow, he could find individual animals, not only araos-g our common stock, but also among all the well-know breeds that would be well' adapted to his object. Still theie would be a de cided difference ' in these tBiuutls. With those selected from any- of the well etitablisned breeds, especially cows that have been bred wit i refer-, ence to the dairy, he would find a re markable degree of uniformity, lie . would find that they transmitted their good qualities, to their offspring ! with some degree of certainty, am t that tliey could rely, upon them to produce their kiud.espccially if brrd j to a male of their owu class or breed,, j while with those selected from the . j common stock of , the country, ho, i ( i would find no uniformity ; cither ( irj size, color, or milking properties, j and that they could not be relied up- , on to produce a pi ogeny , like them- ' telrtav. And here is the great and most striking defect of the native' ' stock of t!i c country Though much of it possesses high qualities, there is no reliance upon the quality of its progeny, as thero is among the well established breeds, and hence the advantage of a resort to the latter. Ploughman Wo beleivo with the writer of the above, that if one would be pretty sure of good animals, it is far better '' to take those ot pure blood. For In stance, if for very nice crcanvand butter, tho Jersey. If for quantity of milk of good quality, tho Ayrshire, If for size, beauty, and beef, the short-born, and so on. One cannot depend upon getting a good calf from a good cow. Wo remember once having a rery fine native cow, and we were anxious to get a calf from her, thinking it possible it might be , equally good with the mother. We raised ouo from her, and it prored ' to be ono of the ugliest and moat good-for-nothing cows we ever " saw ' or heard of. ' Little dependence can be placed on native stock for perpet uating their good qualities. Con grit gationclut, , At het in the Orchard. D. W. Kauffman of Dea Moines, Iowa, writes to the loicn Jfometltait that ashes are worth one dollar ;- per : bushel to put about fruit trees, and that he would not sell his ashes at that price and do without their use in the orchard. He has used ashes ' about fruit trees for fifteen yean; and dnringthat time has never aeeuy a borer where ashes were used. The borer is a terrible pest to , tho fruit grower, and if all other impediments to successful growing were as" 'easily ' overcome and completely controlled as the borer; then fruit growing would be very successfully practiced. At the recent, meeting of the Froit Growers' Association , of Ontario, Mr. Moodie stated that he had been iu the habit of using unleached ash es as a manure for bis fruit trees, and that he values them more high ly for this purpose than barn yard manure. If our farmers knew tne' value of wood ashes for the gVrdi, orchard and farm they would not rell them for a few cent per bushel..
