CO Av ASTORIA, OREGON, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1834 PRICE, FIYE CENTS. VOL. XX, NO. J 03. BUSINESS LAWS IN DAILY USE. The following compilation of busi ness laws contains tlie essence of a large amount of legal verbiage: If a note is lost or stolen it does not release the maker; he must pay it, if the consideration for which it was given and the amouDt can be proven. Notes bear interest only when so stated. Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents. Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm, except in cases of special partnership. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. The law compels no one to do im possibilities. An agreement without a considera tion is void. A note made on Sunday is void. Contracts made on Sunday cannot by enforced. A note by a minor is void. A contract made with a minor is roid. A contraot made with a lunatic is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of intoxication cannot be collected. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A receipt for money is not always conclusive. The acts of one partner bind the rest "Value received" is usually writ ten in a note, and should be, but it is not necessary. If not written it is presumed by the law, or may be sup plied by proof. The maker of an "accommodation" bill or note (one for which he has re ceived no consideration, having lent his name or credit for the accommo dation of the holder) is not bound to the person accommodated, but is bound to all parties, precisely as if there was a good consideration. No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its nature. Checks or drafts must be presented for payment without unreasonable delay. Check or drafts must be presented during business hours, but in this country, except in the case of the banks, the time extends through the day and evening. If the drawee of a check or draft has changed his residence, the holder must use due or reasonable diligence to 2nd him. If one who holds a check as payee or otherwise, transfers it to another, he has a right to insist that the check be presented that day, or at farthest, on the day following. A note endorsed in blank (the name of the endorser only written) is trans ferable by delivery, the same as if made payable to bearer. If the time of payment of a note is not inserted, it is payable on de mand. The time of payment of a note must not depend on a contingency. The promise must be absolute. A bill may be written upon any pa per or substitute for it, either with ink or pencil. The payee should be distinctly named in the note, unless it is pay able to bearer. An endorsee has a right of action against all whose names were on the till when he received it If the letter containing a protest of non-payment be put into the post office, any miscarriage does not affect the party giving notice. Notice of protest may be sent either to the place of business or of residence of the party notified. The holder of a note may give no tice of a protest to all previous en dorsers, or only to one of them; in case of the latter he must select the last endorser, and the last give notice to the last before him, and so on. Each endorser must send notice the same day or the day following. Nejther Sunday nor holiday to be counted in reekoning the time in which notice is to be given. The loss of a bill or a note is not sufficient excuse for giving notice of protest If two or more persons as partners Are jointly liable on a note or bill, due notice to one of them is suffi cient If a note or bill is transferred as security, or even as payment of a pre-existing debt, the debt revives if the -bill or note be dishonored. An endorsement may be written on tae.face or back. An endorser may prevent his own liability to be sued by writing "with out recourse," or similar words. All claims which do not rest upon a seal or judgment must be sued within six years from the time when they arise. Part payment of a debt, which has passed the time of statutory limita tion, revives the whole debt, and the claim holds good for another period of six years from the date of such payment A verbal promise to pay, made without conditions, is generally held sufficient to revive a claim other wise shut out by the law of limi tation. ""If, when a debt is due, the debtor is out of the state, the "six years" do not begin to run until he returns. If he afterwards leaves the state, m the time forward counts the same as if he remained in the state. A Southern Darkey's Prayer. "One of the most remarkable and original prayers I ever heard," said a gentleman to a Herald reporter last CTeuing, "was just after the war closed and I was taking a run down through Georgia in hope of finding a desirable cotton plantation. One bright summer night found me at the cabin of an old negro, wno nad once been & slave, but who located on the old plan, after the war, and was his ownjnaster. He gladly welcomed me "to liis humble abode and tosuch bed W board as he could provide. jSupper over, and a most excellent one, too, the old man regaled me "with stories of plantation life until fr una, m. good chunk of a boy, came liome from a neighbor's. Before re tiring the old man asked me to read a chapter in the Bible, when he would pray. He said he couldn't read, but was powerful in exhortin' and prayer. After reading a chapter from Job and a part of a Psalm we knelt down, and the sable brother let his soul flow out to God. Even in the uncouth language of the old slave every word was sublime, and seemed as coming from one inspired. I remember one passage remarkable for its beauty and unapproachable as a figure. Said he: lf I had de wings ob a dove Pd mount de golden steps to de New Je rusalem, and dip my fingers in de blood ob de Lamb and write de word Kedemption on de blue vault ob Heav enf He prayed for the President of the United States, all its Cabinet, the army, the navy, the Governors of all the states, for me his guest, for his neighbors, for his absent children, for himself and family. He asked for giveness for many sins and thanked the Lord for many blessings. '"Well, I began to get tired. I had rested my knees the best I could, but wanted to sit up badly, and at the same time did not want to give offense to my kJid host. The bay re clined next tome with his head in the chair sound asleep. Touching him gently I whispered. 'About how soon will your father get through V 'Hes he got to de place whar Moses orossed.de Bed Sea?' Being assured that said point had not yet been reached, the boy yawned and contin centin ued: 'Well, when he gets to whar Moses crossed de Bed Sea, he's jist half done,' and ho relapsed into un consciousness." Dayton Herald. m . Invited to Leave. L. T. Nichols, a Christadelphian preacher, was shot iu Yamhill county about six months ago by the sons of a Mrs. Martin, who accused him of swindling her out of her property. Nichols disappeared shortly after and has not since been heard of. Several members of his congregation have, it seems, since his departure made themselves obnoxious by en deavoring to convert their neigh bors to -their peculiar soul sleeping belief. It appears that the Tamhill branch of this denomination are very ultra in their views, and the people in the section where they labor have become tired of them. Five men and one woman, the most prominent of what is called there "Nichol's Gang," lately received let ters signed "Vigilance Committee No. 3," ornamented with drawings of bodies hanging on a gallows, coffins and other suggestive designs, and warning them one and all to leave the county and state within a certain brief time on a penalty of death. A correspondent states that the parties warned are disposing of their prop erty and preparing to leave. They say it is hard that in this enlightened land people cannot read and construe the Bible as their wish. The people of Yamhill say that they are willing the soul sleepers shall take any view of the Bible they wish, and will allow them full liberty of conscience, but cannot allow them the liberty of tongue which they desire. FOR THE FAMILY SCRAP BOOK. Boasted coffee is one of the most powerful disinfectants. Beeswax and salt will make flat-irons as smooth as glass. rusty Wild mint scattered about the house will rid it of rats and mice, Save your cold tea; it is excellent for cleaning grained wood, A little oweet oil and beeswax rubbed on mahogany polishes it up beautifully. The unpleasant odor left in the breath after eating onions is entirely removed by a cup of strong coffee. If you wish to pour boiling hot liquid into a glass jar, or tumbler, it can be safely done by putting a spoon in the dish before you pour. A dish or vase of fresh water should be kept in every room where there is a fire, especially an open fire. The water absorbs the gas arising from the coal and other impurities in the air. A slightly damp cloth rubbed over a dusty carpet brightens it wonder fully and gathers all the dust This is an excellent way to cleanse the floor of an invalid's room, where noise and dust are objectionable. Stale buns may be made to taste as nicely as when fresh if they are dipped for a moment or so in cold water and then put in a hot oven for five or ten minutes. They will turn out as light and crisp as when first baked. When one has had a fever, and the hair is falling off, take a teacup of sage, steep it in a quart of soft water, strain it off into a tight bottle. Snoncre the head with the tea fre quently, wetting the roots of the hair. One of the best ways to cure a sore throat is as follews: Wring a cloth out of salt and cold water, and keep ing it quite wet bind tightly about the neck. Cover this with a dry cloth. It is best to use this remedy in the night Troy Times The Furious 'Flames.
