folk Insurance Company. This was an
action to recover partial loss on the A
merlcan brig Benjamin Ruggles. The
facts % the case were, that IN 1880, and
within the date of her policy, the brig ar.
rived az Newport, in Wales, which is a
dry han bor, and took in a'cargo Of iron. -
Shortly afterwards, il was discovered that
she leaked very much, and it became ne
cessary to take her INTO craving dock
for repairs, the expenses attendant upon
which, examination by surveyors, and
other matters, amounted 10 abou, S Sl60O
Or Sl7O0, and for this sum compensation,
is sought from the insurers. The latter
contend that the cause of loss does not
come within the terms of their policy, or
OF marine risk T; that the injury to the ves-
sci al ose from her having IN heavy car
60 while lying aground, which had strain
ed her and caused the leak ; that this
could not be considered a peril of the
sea, but was an ordinary loss, for which
the overs, and not the underwriters, were
answerabie. The whole of the evidence
long dispositions Of ship builders, piIois,
and others, taken in Wales-went to con.
firm Ice fact that the injury TO the vessel
had resulted from the cause stated by the
underwriters. There WIS some mention
Of the damage having been occasioncd
by the brig OVERLAPPING her berth in the
harbor, and of her having come in con.
tact with some hard substance in the
mud, but not particle Of proof, that we
could discover, to warrant such suppo.

"As we owe, we pay but 40 the payment has

II is probable, also, that the American Govern
ment will think proper not to send him back TO
France, in order TO spare him the inevitable en-
barressment under which he must labor, after the
written expressions that have been attributed to
him in the course Of the debate. We do not
blame the American Government for having given
50 complete and SO prompt publicity TO Mr. Liv-
ingston' letters perhaps il was demanded by the
forms and practice Of her institutions but such
publicity must often have the effect Of sacrificing
individual negotalors, it being impossible TO re-
quire that the negotiator who has spoken publicly
i'll Of the country TO which he is accredited, should
continue to be we'll received by the people he has
offended. These are the reasons which induce US
to look upon the longer stay Of Mr.. Livingston in
Paris as very difficult, and his return very uncer-

more than two thirds Of the votes given.
A motion was now made for recess. and the

TEMPERANcE ON RAIL RoAps.-In build
ing the three Rail Roads from Boston 10 Pro,i-
dence, Worcester. and Lowell, total abstinence
has been the rule with regard TO the use Of ardent
spirits and il is now TIM rule for all those who
manage the engine the ines and cars on the
roads. In building the roads some Of the con-
tractors from the first refused 10 furnish their men
with spirit, or permit them TO bsing il on tho
ground 1t was soon perceived that those con-
tractors avoided oil difficulty with their men that
their men did more work and that although most
of the Iaborers were Irish the territories Of the
Temperance contractors were SO much more COM
Portable, that they were most popular, and could
always select the bes, hands. This Board Of Di-
rectors became so fully convinced Of the ndvana-
ges Of temperance. that they make il condition
with the contractors that they should give the men
no intoxicating liquor. Coffee and tea were subst-
tutsd, and cold water.-Jour. Of Commerce.

PROTECTION AGAINST ERE.

We have olten had occasion to remark, both
from personal observation IN our own immediate
vicinity, and from articles which appear in the
papers in relation to the damage done by fire, how
inadequate the preparations are, in most places,
especially in country villages, for coniending a
gainst the ravages Of this devourng element. Ve-
ry few towns ever think Of making any appropri-
alton for such a purpose, until, they lose many
times the value Of the apparatus which would
have been sufficient TO arrest the fire in its early
stage, aud thus to have prevented great portion
Of the loss A remarkable instance of this kind Of
negligence was mentioned in the Northampton
Courier some time last winter. The editor says
in that town they :" have two miserable fire en-
gines, and recently, when alarm Of fire was
given, =" 50 deep was the snow piled up in front
Of one of them, that it found impossible TO get
the worthless thing out of the building - Such
statement in relation TO town so sseaiAy and
fourshing as Northampton, would indeed seem
incredible, IL il did not come from source which
precludes any doubt of its accuracy.
In Worcester, we believe, there were but two
Engines ill after the great fire which took place in
February, 1915. Another was then added to the
number. No further addition WINS made. Till with
in The last seven years, during which time three
more large and powerful Engines have been pur-
chased. one Of which is provided with suction hose.

with the requisite complement ofmen. The ex-
perience, however, Of several years past has shown,
that, to secure all the advantages which are at
tainable, more thorough ard efficient organiza-
ton is necessary. VIII this view, application was
made to the Legislature. at lis late session, for an
act TO establish Fire Department which was
granted, and the act has been accepted by tho
town. Worcester Spy.
.Ds Every town having Fire Department,
should see that it was regularly organized, with
proper officers, and it would be well for all the
members to meet, occasionally, to consult togeth-
er, and adopt rules and regulations which seems
to us must be necessary in order to carry into ef-
feet the great object for which they associated
In this town, there has never been any urganza-
ton other than that Of the Engine Companies. 1t
should not be so. A regular organization should
take place Immediately. Let meeting for that
purpose bo called, where each department will
have full understanding, and then they will be
prepared to meet the emergencies which may arise

II. S. Fay, in letter from Florence, to
tho Editors of the New York Mirror,
gives the description Of the washing of
the feet of twelve beggars by tho Grand
Duke, ceremony performed by him on
every Holy Thursday. After describing
his splendid reiinue and entry, he says
/" lie was then dvested Of his sword
by one attendant noble-equipped in n
lawn apron by another-a third turned
down and drew off the stocking Of each
poor old vagrant another presented a
silver salver, on which stood an ever al
50 of silver. The duke then taking a
sponge, upon which chamberlain pour
ed water, knelt, received tho bcggar's
foot in his hand, rubbed it with the sponge,
wiped il, bent down his head and kissed
it. Upon each of tho twelve this cere-
ceremony was repe ated, and all these pet
ty circumstances in the progress Of the
entertainment were devoured by the fash
ionabe and awe-struck auditors at first
with silent doubt, and afterwards with
mute amazement. The baskets were
then filled with the contents OF the table,
silver plate and all, present, l believe,
from their munifcent domestic, and the
menial duties Of transferring them from
the table TO the baskets, were performed
by the noble lords in the capacity of wait
ing men. The duke, the guards around,
the pages, the grand chamberlain, the
household, the noblemen of the court, and
and large crowd Of gentlemen then de-
parted as they came"

Mr.. Honeyman frequently crossed over to them, and

any reward, but an unexpected and surprising large
audience of people of many persuasion.
