The Fairbanks
APPEAL from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, in which court the owners of the brig Santiago filed a libel against the steamer Fairbanks, to recover damages sustained by the brig in a collision with the steamer.
The collision occurred in a fair, mild night of June. The weight of testimony from witnesses went to show that the brig had properly kept on her course, which was about north by east, and that the steamer, which was running about south by west, had not properly avoided her. Opposed to which was a fact, testified to by some witnesses, and which seemed to inspection to be true, viz., that the steamer had been struck in the collision by a square blow, indicative of the fact that the approach of the brig was at right angles.
The District Court decreed in favor of the brig. The Circuit Court on appeal reversed the decree.
Mr. J. C. Carter, for the appellant; Mr. R. D. Benedict, contra.
Mr. Justice CLIFFORD gave the details of the case, and delivered the opinion of the court.

# The Fair Singer

To make a final conquest of all me, Love did compose so sweet an enemy,
In whom both beauties to my death agree, Joining themselves in fatal harmony; That while she with her eyes my heart does bind, She with her voice might captivate my mind.
I could have fled from one but singly fair: My disentangled soul itself might save, Breaking the curled trammels of her hair. But how should I avoid to be her slave, Whose subtle art invisibly can wreath My fetters of the very air I breath?
