BEAUrlEs OF LTlGATIoN.-A case WIS tried
last week, in the New York Circuit Court, in
which an individual sought to recover heavy dam
ages Of the Harlem Railroad Company, for the loss
of his son, who killed on the track Of the Com
pany, in the fall Of 1885, through the alleged
cssncss or negligence Of their agents, but in fact
The unfortunate lads own stupidity. Before the
case was decided, the company offered to compro-
mise the matter by paying $500. and costs to the
father. The latter was too fond Of litigation how
eyer--he refused the offer, pressed the suit, and
got siE cents damages and costs.

A clerk Of the Camden Bank, has rob-
b. d that institution Of $4,000. The ex.
ample of Lewis aud others, of more re-
spectacle vllany, is contagious. 1t is
supposed that he, like Lewis, will be per.
mitted quietly to enjoy his booty. This
is all owing to tho laxity Of the laws with
regard to the banks. Why are not some
of these gentlemanly cashiers and clerks
lodged in the Peniteniiary like common
hlghwaymenl Is rank and wealth to
screen them from punishment? An ex-
ample would be salutary at this time.
Philadelphia has lost $50, 100000 by
the late Bank disasters and commercial
embarrassments, and yet, to the eye of a
stranger, there are no visible signs Of a
distress. Alec. Gaz.

REV. Mr.. CooKMAN.-We yesterday
mentioned that this eloquent minister YVES
a passenger in the President. The Alex
andria Gazette makes the following touch
ing remarks with reference to him:
"The melancholy interest that, each
succeeding day, gathers round the fate of
the Steam ship President, is increased in
this community, where at least one of the
passengers was well known and beloved
by all our citizens, and especially by the
congregation in whose midst and for
whose benefit he labored for a year and
from whom, TO their deep regret, he was
separated to take this voyage, which, per-
hops, may be the last of his earthly jour
neylngs.
" 1t may be that the eloquent voice Of
Goodman is hushcd in death: that its
tones may never again thrill our bosoms;
and that the affecting appeals he was
wont to make to our judgments and our
feelings, may no more vlbrate upon our
ears and sink into our hearts If so, the
remembrance of them will alone live to
call up recollections Of the preacher who
seemed. at times, to have caught some OF
the inspiration which in olden days " sal
as cloven tongues like as of fire." upon
the disciples Of christianity.
"He was upon a mission of love and
