Law of the Case.

No man who builds up to his line has the legal right to open a window upon his neighbor’s land. The main reason for refusing such a privilege is that after twenty years’ enjoyment it becomes a vested right, so that the owner of the land upon which the windows open cannot build it up, and thus by his own walls close up the windows. An owner of a lot up town allowed his neighbors on each side to open side windows to their houses upon it, supposing that they could only enjoy it until he wished to build. Alter twenty-one years he found that he could not build so as to close the windows, nor could he sell the lot for anything like the value it should have represented. One of the natural curiosities of Nevada, according to the Reno Gazette, is a petrified tree, near Lovelock station, which measures 600 feet in length and two feet in thickness. Its roots and most of its branches are still perfect. The tree is described as lying on he surface of the ground and petrified through and through from bark to core. He held a seductive-looking piece of jewelry in his hand as he kept calling—“only 25 cents and did you ever see anything so cheap?” “Yes,” roared one of the crowd—“ Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup is the cheapest and best remedy known for childrep."
