MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Importart Dkcihion. JuJg Thomas hag Just delivered an able opinion In one of the most important cases that ever oatne before our count, the Property in controvert y being estimated at tlUO.OOO in value. The facta briefly are these: In . January, 1803, Mr, Kobert Rolling contracted with Mr. G. Lersner for the sale of the magnificent estate, Bolling brooke, on which he reside, situated In Upper Fauquier; the consideration waa to be Con federate Treasury notes. Lersner did not punctually fulfil his engagement to pay the money In cash; the war terminated while Lers ner was still In default. Rolling then claimed tbat the default of Lersner had relieved him from his legal obligations to perform the con tract. Lereuer filed his bill vs. Boiling in the Circuit CV.it of Fauquier, praying a decree for a specific execution of the contract. The points of the defense were the default of the plaintiff, Lersner, in failing to pay all the purchase money, associated with the gross in adequacy of the price, making it inequitable to decree a specifio performance of so hard and nnoonsoionable a bargain. Judge Thomas sustained the position of the defendant, Boil ing, and rendered a decree refusing execution of the contract and ordering it to be annulled. It may be proper to add, that the prinoip'es upon which the decree waa rendered do rot rest on any political considerations, but are as old and w ell established as the Court of Chan cery itself. The decision, so far aa we are in formed, gives geneial satisfaction. The case was very ably and at great length argued by Colonel J. S. Moseby and Ueneral W. II. Fayne for the defendant, and by Hon. J. R. Tucker for the plaintiff. Warrenton ('.) Sentinel. Thk Feince Imperial on Doty. A foreign paper says: "On Sunday the visitors to the camp at Chalons beheld a curious and interest ing scene. Two sentinels, wearing the uni forms of Grenadiers of the Guard, with their gnna perpendicular and knapsacks on their backs, were walking gravely up and down be fore the unoccupied apartments of the Empe ror. A few moments before, a captain of the Thirty-fifth of line, who was in command of the post of honor at the Imperial quarters, had taken these two soldiers, put them through their exercise, inspected their armg and accoutrements, and then placed them as sentries before the Emperor's door, at the same time giving them the password. Their names were Eugene Louis Napoleon and Louis Con neau, both en fans de troupe of the first Grena diers oi tne uuard. The Prince, wishing to gain an exact idea of the duties of a sentinel, had himself desired to put them into practice, and for the time mentioned both he and his youthful comrade carried and presented arms according to the rank of the superior officers and others who passed before their post, ac quitting themselves of their duty with admir able self-possession and gravity." Ankcdotb of Hazlitt. Charles Lamb tells this characteristic story of Hazlitt: "I took him to see a very pretty girl, where there were two young girls; the head and sum of the girlery was two young girls, they neither laughed nor sneered, nor giggled, nor whis- pered, but they were young girls' and he sat and frowned blacker and blacker, indignant that there should be such things as youth and beauty, till he tore me away before supper in . perfect misery, and owned he could not bear young girls, they drove him mad." Freight Railroads in the Southern States. A large and enthusiastio meeting of the citi zens of Harris county, Texas, was held at Houston on the 16th of August, for the pur , pose of founding an "Anti-Monopoly Cheap Freight Railway League." Mr. Feter B. Gray addressed the meeting at considerable length. He advocated the construction of a double track freight railway from Galveston, Texas, to Fort Riley, Kansas, a distance of four hun dred miles, the road to be open to everybody who may wish to use his rolling stock on it, at a reasonable compensation. The Golden Flebcb. The Memorial Diplo matique says Senor Gonzales Bravo, Spanish Minister of the Interior, has just received the insignia of the Golden Fleece. There exist only fifty-seven decorations of this class, the greater number of which have been conferred upon foreign sovereigns and princes. Marshal Rarvaez, Duke de Valentia, has possessed this order since 1847. In Spain, in addition to the royal family, thirteen grandees have received the distinction. Burned to Death. Mrs. Pendleton, of Windham, Pa., married about one year ago, returned from church on last Sunday week, started a fire, and was in the act of removing a lid from the top of the stove when the flame burst up, setting fire to her clothes, and burn ing her flesh to a crisp before her husband, attracted by her screams, reached the room and succeeded in extinguishing the fire. She lived in great agony some twenty-four hours, when death put an end to her sufferings. Morb Gold Discoveries in North Caro lina. Two more gold mines have been dis covered in Rowan county, North Carolina. Several specimens of quartz ore, exhibited to the editor of the Salisbury Banner, were speckled with the yellow ore, many of the little particles being half as large as a grain of wheat. These specimens are from the surface of the two recently-discovered mines, whioh, it is said, are likely to prove very valuable. Ah American Quben. Mrs. Bishop, the wife of an American banker at Honolulu, has a good prospect of becoming Queen of the Sand wich Islands. Kamehameha. the nresent king, is slowly dying from the effeota of a de bauched life. He haa no heirs. Mrs. Bishop is an accomplished lady, and the lineal repre sentative of a powerful chief who waa over thrown by the ancestor of the present royal house. Foubil Ivory. About forty thousand pounds of fossil ivory, that is to say, the tusks of at least one hundred mammoths, are bartered for every year in New Siberia. As many aa ten tusks have been found lying together in the "Tundra," weighing from one hundred and fifty to three hundred pounds each. Notwith standing the enormous amount already car ried away, the stores of fossil ivory do not appear to diminish. A Remarkable Case. A Coroner's inquest waB recently held in London upon the body of an unknown woman, supposed to be tne ille gitimate child of a Sootcn nobleman, who for fifteen years had disguised herself as a man. Several witnesses testified to the completeness of the imposition. The surgeon who waa with her at her death said she had a "most mascu line face," and a Blight beard. Her hand was feminine.

The audiences at Concert Hal) have been the largest aud most respectable that have ever assembled there; and no wonder, for Blind Tom Is certainly one of the most marvellous and incomprehensible beings of the nineteenth century: it is impossi ble to convey in words a description or his per formances on the piano. Alter witnessing bis execution of a piece ot music after hearing it but once, playing three distinct tanes at once, and then Lis gentlemanly conductor (Mr. How ard) requesting- any one in the audience to hold ud any article unseen by "Torn," and sounding the different keys of the piano, hearing this almost idiotic boy spelling out the article, as "umbrella," "stick," Ian," "programme," "opera ela's," or "baby," as the case may be, and always spelling it correctly, is certainly a won der. Blind Tom performs every evening this week, 8nd on Wednesday and Saturday after noons at half-past 2 o'clock. Americans have fairly naturalized the soda fountains in Paris.
