Decisions of the Court of Appeals.

Reported expressly for the Ctntmonwaltk by Jonx. iirowb, Ailorney-at-La- Prankfort, riy.J

Jan, (of color,) )vs. v Appeal from Fleming.

Pratlr's adm'r et al. )Judge Wood delivered the opinion of the

Court.Id the case of Jas. H. Prater va. Edward

Pint! et al, this court decided that the devise ofthe woman Jane to Edward Pioes, a free man ofcolor, in the 7th clause of Jeremiah Prater's(2nd) will was utterly void, and that the woman

pawed to the personal representatives of PraterThis woman, Jane, has since brought an action

in the Fleming Circuit Court, against the administrator of the above mentioned testator, claiming that the devise to Pines was made for herexclusive use and benefit; and it seems to be

supposed that under that void devise she is enti-

tled to some right or benefit not clearly defined.

Her petition contained a prayer that the admin

istrator be restrained from removing Jane from

the State and selling her, and that he be com

pelled to execute the will of said Prater accord-- .

log to its true spirit and intent.We are still of opinion that the devise to

Pines was void. Jane acquired no right underit whatever, nor is her claim to freedom at allaffected by it.

She, however, claims her freedom upon anoth-

er ground. She asserts that by virtue of certainprovisions contained in a will of Jeremiah Pra-

ter, Sr., made in 1812, she has been free from

her birth. That will contains this clause, "It is

also my wish and desire that negro Jinny shallbe free on the day of my death. And it is my

further wish and desire that negro Diner shallserve six years after the day of my death. Negro Bob to serve two years after the day of my

death, and negro Tom to serve three years aftermy death."

A subsequent clause provides and directs that"if the above named negroes cannot be freed

under the laws of this State, they shall be soldfor cash, after the death of my beloved wife, audthe money divided equally between JeremiahPrater, Zephaniah Prater, Ashfoid Prater, andPatsey Collins."

Jane asserts a right to freedom upon thegrounds, 1st, that she is a child of the woman

"Diner," mentioned above; and 2d, that Dinerwas free by the will of the elder Prater, from

the day of his death.It may be regarded as established, that Jane

was the child of the woman "Diner," and was

bom before the expiration of the six years afterthe testator's death. The condition of Jane as

to freedom or slavery, depends upon the condi-

tion in which her mother was, at to freedom orslavery, during the period of six years immedi-

ately succeeding the death of the testator. Themaxim is well settled in this State and the otherslave States of the Union that "partus sequiturventrem," and it follows that if "Diner" was a

slave at the birth of Jane, the latter is also alave.

To determine whether "Diner" was slave orfree when Jane was born, the intention of thetestator must be deduced from the language em-

ployed in the will.Of "Diner," the testator says, "he "shall

serve six years after the day of my death." No

words indicate an intention to give "Diner" herfreedom immediately as in the case of tbe negroJinny. But the words used indicate that "Diner's slavery was to continue for six years from

tbe death of the testator, and the testator inten-

ded to distinguish her case from that of Jinny.This intention is more clearly established by thesubsequent clause of the will quoted above.

The testator says, that if "the above-name- ne-

groes, (meaning, clearly, the three last named,Tom, Bob and "Diner,") cannot be freed underthe laws of this State, they shull be sold for

cash, &.c."

The phraseology of the clause points to someperiod in the future. .The testator must be pre-

sumed to have known the law of the State at thetime of making his will. But he could not know

what would be the law at the expiration of sixyears, and it is therefore provided as to "Diner"that if she cannot be freed at the end of six

years she is to be sold, which reservation of apower to sell, negatives most emphatically theidea of an antecedent freedom. Tbe conclusionis irresistable that "Diner" was a slave up to

the termination of the period of six years fromthe testator's death, and Jane having been bornof "Diner," within the six years from tbetestators's death, and while "Diner" remaineda slave, was and is also a slave.

This conclusion is not in conflict with theopinion in O'Bryan vs. Goalee, (10 B. Mon.100,) relied on by appellants counsel in argu-

ment. In that case a proper construction gavetbe negroes a right to immediate emancipationwith a mere reservation of their services to thev heirs, until they should have attained certainprescribed ages. The words of gift were in thepresent tense, clearly indicating the testator'sintention to terminate the slavery of the negroesat bis death.

This case, however, belongs to a differentclass, the peculiar feature of which is, that onlya prospective right of emancipation is given, totake effect at a given time in the future, and (inthis case) only then upon condition.

Ned vs. Beat, (2 Bibb 298;) Emeline vs. Jam-on- ,

(5 Dana 207;) Either et al vs. Akin$ heirs,(3 B. Hon. 60 j) Johnson's Adm'r. it. Johnson' $

heiri (8B.Mon. 471;) and Spurrier! heirs vs.Parker et al., (16 B. Mon. 274;) furnish ampleauthority for the conclusion in this case. In thelatter case the language of the deed was evenmore favorable to the claim of the appellees forfreedom than the language of Prater's will is tothe claim of appellants.

The judgment of the Circuit Court is in exactaccordance with this opinion, and is therefore af-

firmed.Cord, for appellants; Lindsey's, for appellees.

Coal Oil for Lubrication and Illumiuation.

We have for several months been using the

Lubricating oil, made from the Cannel Coal, by

"The Kanawha Cannel Coal Mining and Oil Man-

ufacturing Company," on our steam power

presses and engine, and find it greatly superiorfor our purposes to the best Sperm or Lard oil.

It does not gum; is more cleanly every way, and

the machinery runs with greater ease than when

we used other oil, end of course with a smallerpressure of steam to give the required power.

This is our experience in relation to this oil aftera fair trial of several months, and the superin-

tendent of our machinery, who is a practicalmechanic, gives it decidedly the preferenceover any other oil which he has ever tried.

The fine Machine Oil made by this company ,

is greatly superior to any other oil to use on

Sewing Machines, making them run more easily;and if it should drop on the carpet, or a lady'sdress, will not leave greasy spots, but being vol-

atile evaporates. This we know from actualtrial by our better half, and some other of ourlady friends.

We have also been using, for some time past,the Burning Oil made by the same company, andwe now, after fair trial, say that we have neverused any kind of light that pleased us bo well.

It gives fully as clear and beautiful a light as

coal gas, and does not dazzle the eye so much.

And for economy, we have no doubt it is thevery cheapest light that can be found, when theamount ot light is taken into consideration.The lamp we have used is what is called the"Waterburg Burner," aud will give as much

light as five or six star candles, while consumingnot more oil than would cost as much as one

candle; and the size of the light may be reduceduntil it gives a light about the size of that madeby one candle, though more brilliant, and the costwould thea not be more than one fourth the costof a candle.

The lamp which we have been using illumi-

nates a large room, 27 by 16 feet, sufficiently to

enable n person to read easily any where in theroom; and while giving this amount of lightcosts no more for the oil consumed that would be

the cost of one candle for the same time; andwhile giving this beautiful light, there is no un-

pleasant scent emitted.Another great advantage which this oil pos-

sesses is, that, being volatile, if spilled on a car-

pet, or the finest fabrics of lady's dresses, eitherof wool, cotton, or silk, no stain is left it allevaporates on exposure to air and heat. Thisproperty in it we think will be a recommenda-

tion to the ladies who fear to use oil on accountof the danger of greasing by it.

The office of the "Kanawha Cannel Coal

Mining aud Coal Oil Manufacturing Company"is at 97 Walnut street, Cincinnati, Ohio, and

orders for oil may be addressed there to C. RHasKiN, Agent, or to Col. A. G. Hodoes, Treasu-

rer of the company.Mr. J. R. Graham, of Frankfort, keeps a

supply of the Lamps and Oil for sale, and we

advise our friends to try them.

The Yacht Wanderer.The famous yacht Wanderer, which cleared

from Savannah, some time since, without theknowledge of her owner, has arrived at Boston.The Wanderer sailed from Savanuah in chargeof Captain Martin, for the coast of Africa, totake on board a cargo of slaves. She touchedat Fiores and took on board two Portuguese women. Captain Martin subsequently went ashorefor provisions, taking with hira the chronometerand charts.

Ia bis absence,-Mr- . Walton, the mate, got thevessel under weigh, and steering for the American coast bore up for this port. Walton statesthat he was carried off from Savannah againsthis will, and that .Martin was an assumed name.The Captain's real name is Lincoln P. Patton, ofBath, Maine. I he yacnt is now in charge ot tbeUnited States Marshal.

The Wanderer left Savanuah under the following circumstances:

On the 15th of October last, Lincoln Patton,under the assumed name of David Martin, putfilteen men ou board tbe Wanderer, then lyingbelow Savannah, to assist in taking on boardprovisions and water. Soon afterward Pattoncame on board himself, together with EdwardTalbott, the pilot, and Captain J. B. Black, shiping agent. He immediately called all hands toget under way, aud drawing a revolver, sworebe would shoot any one who refused to work orattempted to interrupt his movements. He alsothreatened the ship'mg agent and pilot with deathif they attempted to leave the vessel. Some ofthe crew who knew his plans, loaded two piecesof cannon with grape, aud armed themselves toenforce ration s orders against tnose who naabeen induced by false pretences to come on board.One-hal- f of the crew were carried on against tbeirwill.

The crew of the Wanderer, ten in number,have been committed to jail. The vessel remainsin charge of the authorities.

Sensible Talk. Now, "bonnets" don't curethe heartache; and all the rings and braceletsyou could toss into a woman s lap, (1 speak ot atrue woman,) are not worth one clasp of yourarm around her neck when you come home fromyour place of business. We don't want foreverto take it for granted you love us. We are de-

monstrative, we women. There is no need ofyour breaking your backs to pick up our hand-

kercheif as you used to in the old courting times;(heavens, how you stepped round then!) neitherdo we want you, after hanging up your hat inthe hall, to sit down in the parlor and eross yourlegs, without ever coming up stairs to give usthe return kiss, which is so potent to make usforget all the little musquite stinging householdannoyances, which are but a leather's weightwhen our hearts are light and happy, for it isnot work, but worry, which makes leaden heartsand footsteps.

Sotposld Slaver on the Coast of Georgia.Capt. Hill of the bark Sarah Ann, loading at St.Marys, says that two weeks, yesterday, he heardfiring off that port, and that a gentleman of St.Marys, who was at Fort Clinch, saw with a spy-

glass distinctly, an American armed steamschooner firing into and chasing two schooners,one small, supposed to be a slaver, the otherlarger, carrying a topsail, supposed to be a ten-

der.The larger qne stood out N. and E , followed

bv the steamer which brought her to in some fouror five miles. While boarding and examiningher papers, the smaller schooner slipped oil tothe southward. The steamer was said to be theHarriet Lane. Not long after this affair shewent into St. Marys and searched all the vesselsin that port. Savannah Express, Dec. ith.

The Clerk said that the resolution was not inorder, several gentlemen having objected, andbesides, other Questions are Dendins.

Mr. Moore remarked that he introduced theresolution honestly, hoping it would meet the ap-probation of a majority of the House. He trust-ed that ull had earnestly endeavored since thefirst day of their meeting to effect an organization, and been governed by the same honesty,canaor ana irantness by wluch he himself wasactuated.

Mr Barksdale, of Miss., reminded Mr. Moorethat the resolution had been objreted to, and thegentleman theretore had no right to debate.

Mr Moore replied that Mr. Smith had yieldedthe floor to him.

Mr. Smith observed that he did so for the pur-pose of hearing what Mr. Moore had to say.

Mr. Moore replied that all he wanted the gen-tleman to hear was what he had to sav. Laugh-ter 1

Mr. Smith supposed that what Mr. Moorehad to say was embraced in the resolution, andhe had no idea of yielding the floor for him to

HOSTETTER'SSTOMAGHJjlTTERS.

The proprietors and manufacturers of H03TETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT-TERS can appeal with perfect confidence tophysicians and citizens generally of the UnitedStates, because the article has attained a repu-tation heretofore unknown. A few facts uponthis point will speak more powerfully Uiaiivolumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery.The consumption of Hostetter's Stomach Bit-- "

ters for the last year amounted to over a half-milli-

bottles, and from iiB manifest steadyincrease in times past, it is evident that duringthe coming year the consumption will reachnear one million bottles. This immense amountcould never have been sold but for the raremedicinal properties contained in the prepara-tion, and the sanction of the most prominentphysicians in those sections of the countrywhere the article is best known, who not onlyrecommend the Bitters to their patients, butare ready at all times to give testimonials to itaefficacy in all cases of stomachic derangementsand the diseases resulting therefrom.

This is not a temporary popularity, obtainedby extraordinary efforts in the way of trum-peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solidestimation of an invaluable medicine, which 1

destined to be as enduring as time itself.Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved

a Godsend to regions where fever and agueand various other bilious complaints havecounted their victims by hundreds. To beable to state confidently that the "Bitters'are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and likediseases, is to the proprietors a source of un-alloyed pleasure. It removes nil morbid matterfrom the stomach, purities the blood, andimparts renewed vitality to the nervous system,giving it that tone and energy indispensablefor the restoration of health. It operates uponthe stomach, liver, aud other digestive organs,mildly but powerfully, and soon restores themto acondition essential to the healthy dischargeof the functions of nature.

Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily asper directions on the bottle, and they will findin it a stimulant peculiarly adapted tc comfortdeclining years, as it is pleasant to the palate,invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic,and rejuvenating generally. We have the evi-dence of thousands of aged men and womenwho have experienced the benefit of using thispreparation while suffering from stomach de-

rangements and general debility ; acting underthe advice of physicians, they have abandonedall deleterious drugs and fairly tested themerits of this article. A few words to thegentler sex. There are certain periods whentheir cares arc so harassing that many of themsink under tbe trial. The relation of mothe.and child is so absorbingly tender, that themother, especially if she be young, is apt toforget her own health in her extreme anxietyfor her infant. Should the period of maternityarrive during the summer season, the wear ofbody and mind is generally aggravated. Here,then, is a necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the energies of the system, and enable themother to bear up under her exhausting trialsand responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene-rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigorators that receive the endorsement of physi-cians, because it is agreeable to the taste aswell as certain to give a permanent increaseof bodily strength.

AIL those persons, to whom we have pat ticu .

larly referred above, to wit: sufferers fromfever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea,dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, andall diseases or derangements of the stomach,superannuated invalids, persons of sedentaryoccupation, and nursing mothers, will consulttheir own physical welfare by giving to Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.

CAUTION. We caution the public againstusing any of the many imitations or counter-feits, but ask for Hostetter's CelebratedStomach Bitters, and see that each bottle has

' the words " Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters"blown on the side of the bottle, and stampedon the metallic cap covering the cork, andobserve that our autograph signature is on thelabel.
