IMroRrASr LEGAL DEcIsioS.-The Boston Daily
Advertiser reports an important decision by the
Massachusetts Supreme Court in the case of Har-
bach ct. al. VS.. City of Boston. 1t seems that the
plaintiff sued the city for damages done to their
lands by carrying the Boston aqueduct through
them by means of a tunnel through ledge Of
rocks. The damages alleged was by the draining
of springs and depriving the land of water. On
this ground the plaintiffs recovered large dam
ages. ~.
They next sued the city for the actual value of
the lands taken by the commissioners for the pur-
pose of constructing the tunnel. This the city re-
sisted on the ground that 1t had only an easement,
and net fee simple in the land thus taken, the
general use of the land being still in the hands of
the plaintiffs The jury, however, under the in
structions of the Court of Common Pleas found a
verdict against the city. But on an appeal to the
Supreme Court this decisoni is now reversed, the
ground that the water act vested only easement,
leaving the fee simple with the original owners of
the land. 9agf+r.a

A WILL SET AsIDE.-The will of the late ]. R.
Moore, of Carthage, has been set aside in the Pro-
bate Court upon the ground that at the time Of its
execution in 1885, and of the codicil thereto, the
testator was under undue restraint. After be-
queathing $500 each 10 three nieces and $1,000
to the sister of his deceased wife, the testator
leaves $1,000 TO his executors 20 be placed at in
terest until principal and interest, together with
such contributions MS would be given by the COM
munity, should amount to $4,000, 10 be applied in
| the building of church at Carthage for the use
ofall religious denominations of christans-the
codicil contained the following singular clause:
ait is my wish that my executors shall sell ali my
personal and real estate, and appropriate the mon
cy towards completing the meeting house mention
ed above and for other purposes" apparently SUI
preceding the former requests to his relations.
The will was drawn by p. D, Riggs, of Carthage
Judge Warren was of opinion, after hearing the
testimony, that the degree of intoxication under
which Moore was laboring during the progress of
making the will and codicil, was such as to rem
der him unable TO comprehend the nature of the
devises therein, and that improper influences
were used in restraining the exercise of his free
will. The application to admit to probate was
dismissed at cost of applicants-and notice of APP
peal was entered. "-HI r.-1.

The Irish Exodua.

| From all quarters (says late Dublin paper the
cry is still the same. The population is flying by
Wholesale and unless some unforeseen obstacle
interposeS the next census will show more start
ling result with respect to the decrease of the old
race than the official return of 1851. The Glare
journal thus over the exodus of the people:
"All parties among us are seemingly turning
their faces to the far West-the home beyond the
deep. Old, middle aged and young are on the
be no hope for the young, where hope is building
with the certainty, in their imagination, Of bearing
good fruit. 1t is really distressing to contemplate
| the change that few years will effect in Old
Ireland, if the desire for leaving, that now agates
| the people, shall continue. Before this period OF
the yeaT until the present, all idea for leaving tor
America was deferred until "spring returned again"
The season for emigration closed at the beginning
OF our harvest, and the people never thought OF
facing the winlry blast before the coming spring;
but now, spring, summer and autumn are alike.
The streets daily crowded by families on the
move. II seems 20 them as If they had only TO
travel hundred miles instead of thousands And
why is this? There is now one great inducement
in addition to that which before induced them, and
that is their people are there before them. The
aforementioned faces that disappeared a few
months since waiting, with the blush os hope,
to assist them to leap ashore on the land oil their
| adoption, and to sleep once more under the. same
roof, with or daughter that they never hoped to
see on this side of the grave. This is now great
cause for the long continued stream OF emgration
Yesterday, nearly the entire day, the street was
crowded with cars waiting for families TO complete
their arrangements with the emigration agent.
They are gone, and the numbers are sufficient to
| leave blank, in the parish where they resided,
that will not be easily flled.' r.

A letter from Nismes of the LIST inst, gives some
few details of the assassination of the Marquis de
Dammartin, Mayor of UZes in the Gard. At the
moment when he was about to set out, accompa-
MED by his son. for Nismes, to be present at the
ception of the President, four armed men came up
to him, and one CT them discharged pistol point
blank at his breast and another at his head. His
death was instantaneous.
The ten days which interviewed between the pro-
mitigation and execution of the Presidential decree.
aggravating the duties to be levied at the French
frontier on coal and iron coming from Belgium,
were so well improved by the importers, that, on
the Valenciennes railway alone, 9,341, 900 kilo-
grammes of coal and iron were conveyed in 1860
wagons across the Customs boundary, between
September "a and October1. This is at the rate of
nearly 300 wagons per diem.
AT Ostrowa, in the duchy of Poson, four crimi
nails were beeaded on the oath ultimo in the court
yard Of the prison. They had been condemned for
murder. The death-wauant having been read to
them, they were taken separately to the block, all
traces of each execution having been removed be-
moved before another was led out. In twenty
minutes the executoner had severed the four heads
each with single blow of the axe-a dexterity
lauded by the journals, it presents contrast to
a scene which took place recently at Dresden,
whete the instrument was the sword. At Ostrowa
the execution was, according TO the PrusSian law.

The "North British Mail'' states that gentle
man belonging to Ayrshire, no less distinguished
as fearless horseman than man of letters,
made daring leap, few, weeks ago, which de-
serves to be recorded. When exercising in field
a celebrated steepe-chase mare, his own property,
he found it necessary to rush her at hedge TO save
himself being run away with. The mare boldly
rose at the hedge and took it; the heighth of the
leap, when afterwards measured, being found to
be no less than eight and half feet the rise being
about nine feet, and the fall the other side a

Misplaced Confidence.

Jones is, in general, q good
husband and a domestic man.
Occasionally, however, his con-
viVial tastes betray him into ex-
ccsses which have subjected him
more than once to the discipline
of Mrs. Jones. A few nights
since he was invited to 'partici-
pate with a few friends at Flo
rence's, by way of celebration of
a piece of good luck which had
befallen one of his neighbors.
He did participate, and to his
utter astonishment, when he
arose to take his leave, at the
wee short hour ayont the twi-
light, he found the largest brick
in his hat he ever saw. Indeed,
he was heard to remark solilo-
quently,l thing, Mr.. Jones, you
were never quite so tight be-

He reached his home finally,
but by route which was any
thing but the shortest distance
between points, not, however,
without having experienced
Aery considerable anxiety about
the reception which awaited
him from Mrs. Jones. He was
in luck that night, was MIR.
Jones, barring always his primal
transgression he got into his
house, found his way into his
chamber without waking crea-
ture-not even a mouse. After
closing his door, he cautiously
paused to give thanks for the
conscience unde fled, which Sc
cured to Mrs. Jones the sound
and refreshing slumbers which
had prevented her from taking
notice ofhis arrival. Being sat
isiied that all was right, he pro-
ceeded to remove his integu-
ments with as much dispatch
and quiet as circumstances
would permit, and in the course
OF time, sought the vacant place
beside his slumbering consort.

ham, it is stated that Cavendish
would never see q female serv.
ant, and if an unfortunate maid
ever showed herself, she was
instantly dismissed. He was in
the habit of ordeing his dinner
daily by a note, which he left on
the hall table whence the house
keeper was to take it /; and such,
was his horror of the sex, that
having one day met the maid
servant on the stairs with
ebroom and pail, he immediate
