CHAPTER XXX, (Continued. )

** Well, sirs, he started at first, as one that heareth that which he expects not; bet [presently recovering himself, he wawls on me with his gray een, likea wild-cat, anu opens his mouth, whilk resembled the mouth of an oven, for the deil a tongue he had in it, that 1 could spy, and tuck upon his ugly self a’tugether the air and bearing of a bull-dog, wnuik I have seen loosed at a fair upon a mad staig; whereupon I| was something daunted, and withdrew myseil tv call upon sister Baby, who fears neither dog nor devil, when there is in question the litte penny, siler.. And truly she raise to the fray and hae seen the Lindsays and Ogiivies bristle up, when Donald Me- Donnoch, or the like, madea start duwn frae the Hich'ands en the braes of Islay. But an old ustless carling, called Tronda Deuns- daughter (they might call her Drone the sell of her, without farther addition), fluog herself right in iay sister's gate, and yel- loched and skirled, that you would have thought her a whole generation of bounds ; whereupon I judged at best to make ae yoking of it, and stup_ the plough. until | got my sister’s aasistance. Whilk when | had dong, and we mounted the stair to the apartmeut in which the said dwarf, devil, or other apparition was to be seen, dwarf, horn and siller, were as clean gane as if the cat had lickit the place where I saw them.” Here Triptolemus paused in his extraor- dinary narratioti, while the rest ef the party looked upon each other in surprise, and the Udaller muttered to Claud Halcro: ‘* By all toxens, this must have been either the devil or Nicholas Strumpfer ; and, if it were him, he is more of _a goblin than e’er I gave him credit for, and shall be apt to rate him as such in future.” Then, ad- dressing the Factor, he inquired, *‘Saw ye udught how this dwarf of yours parted com- pany ?”

**As I shall answer it, no,” replied Trip- tolemus, with a cautious look areund him, as if daunted by the recollection; ** neither 1, nor Baby, who had her wits more abyut her, not having seeu this unseemly vision, could perceive any way by whilk he made evasion, Only Trouda said she saw him flee nerth of {he window of the west roune! of the auld howsé, upon a dragon, as she averred. . But as the dragon is held a fab- ulous aniaal, 1 suld pronounce her aver- ment tu rest upon deceptive visus.”

‘*Bat, may we not ask farther,” said Brenda, stimulated by curiusity to kaow as much of her cousin Noyna’s family as was possible, ‘* how all this operated upon Mis-- ter Yellowley, so as to occasion his being in this place at so unseasonable an hour.”

** Seasonableit ust be, Mistress Brenda, since it brought -us imto your sweet com- pany,” answered Claud Halero, whose mer- curial brain far outstripped the slow con- ceptions of the agriculturalist, and who be- came inpatient of -being sv silent. ‘* To say the truth, it was I, Mistress Brenda, who recommended to our friend the Fac- tor, whose house 1 chanced to el] at just after.this mischance, (and where, by the way, owing doubuless to the hurry of their spirits, 1 was but povrely received, )

And as our friend the Factor serupled travelling on horseback, —-in respect of some tumbles from our ponies-——”

** Well, Fowd,” continued Halcro, “I undertook. to carry him to Fittiul-head in iny little bout, which Giles and I can manage as if it were an Adusiral’s barge full manned ; and Master Triptolemus Yellow- ley will tel! you how seaman-like I piloted lim tu the little haven, within a quarter of a mile of Norna’s dwelling.”

** { wish to Heaven you had brought me as safe back again,” said the Factor.

** Why, to be sure,” replied the minstrel, ‘* Lam, as glorious John says, —

‘A da ing pilot in extremity,

‘*T shewed little wit in intrusting myself to your charge,” said Triptolemus ; * and you still less when you upset the boat at the throat uf the voe, as you call it, when even the puor bairn, that was mair than half drowned, told you that you were carrying woo much sail; and then ye wad fasten the rape to the bit stick on the boat-side, that ye might have time to play on the fiddle.”

‘“* What!’ said the Udaller, ‘‘ make fast the sheets to the thwart /—a most unsea- sonable practice, Claud Halcro.”

** And sae came of it,” replied the agri- culturist ; *‘ for the neist blast (and we are neyer lang without ane in these parts) whomled us as a gudewife would whomle a bowie, and ne'er a thing wad Maister Halcro save but his fiddle.

Liability of Telegraph Co's.

The Supreme Judicial Court of Maine has just given a judgment in the case of Ayer vs. the Western Union Telegraph Co. which will prove of unusual interest to the commercial public. The circumstances of the case were as follows: Ayer sent a tele- gram from Bangor, Me., to his correspond- ent at Philadelphia, saying: ‘Will sell 800 M. laths, delivered at your whari, two ten net ‘cash. July shipment. Answer quick.” The message was deliverd with the word **ten” omitted, and the reply was sent: ‘* Accept your telegraphic offer on laths. Cannot increase price spruce.” Although the error was, subsequently dis- covered by correspondence, the Philitel- phia merchant insisted on the purchase, and Ayer sued the Western Union Tele- graph Co. to make good his loss. The company put forward in its defence the printed message form coutaining the stipu- Jation that the company should not be held liable unless the message was repeated by by the sender at his own cost. The supreme court over-ruled. the defence, and gave damages to the plaintiff ou the ground that the stipulation as to the non-liability for an unrepeated message is vcid, and that the mistake was the fault of the company’s officia!s.

The judgment a ** Telegraph companies are quasi-public servants. They receive from the public valuable franchises; they owe the public care and diligence ; their business intimately concerns the public; many and yarious interesis are practically depeudent upon it; early all intefests may be affected by it, and thus negligence in it may ofteu work wre; arable mischief to individuals and

hould they pot

accepted the message, why

dv all things, including the repetition of the despatch becessaiy for correct trans- nussivn?) We think that, baying uhder-

taken to transmit this message, the defend- apt must deliver it as it was received.”

This decision will tend to make the telegraph officials and vperators mere care- ful than they are acemtomed to be. In Canada the Gould-Wiunan telegraph monopoly must either bs taken under government contre! or else their wifes ‘must svoner or later be duplicated by the govern- ment. In the meantime any legal decisions will be gladly welcumed that may tend to enlaige the responsibilities of the company and compel them to be more consicerate of public and individual interests. ~Eacaange,
