IMPORTANT LAW CAsE.-The New York cores
pondent Of the National Ineligencer, in his letter
Of the 9th inst, says:
very important law case was decided in our
Supreme Court this morning, inas1nuch as it in
volved the question whether State can be sued
in its own courts. The case was that of "Kiersted
and others against the People of the State of New
York and the Rector, &C., of Trinity Church, and
had reference to certain estates belonging to the
Trinity Church corporation. Judge Mitchell rem
dered the decision Of the court remarking that this
was the first instance within eighty years since the
people of the State have been independent, in
which they have been sued in their own tribunals,
unless when they had specially authorized the suit
or had been made codefendants in an equity suit
for the purpose of defending their own rights, and
it was somewhat remarkable that if such suit as
the one in question sustanable, it had not been
brought before. The Judge then enlarged upon
the English practice in such cases by means of the
Court Of Chancery and its administration Of law as
a matter of grace all of which was not applicable
to this State. The Legislature was the proper
tribunal for the plaintiffs to appeal to; and the
court consequently decided in favor of the defen-
dants on the ground that the State cannot be sued
in its own tribunals by private individual.

A SINGULAR PHENoMENoN,-We have never
seen in print notice Of the following strange fact,
although every steamboat man acquainted with
Green River navigation can verify its truth. Just
above the locks, when the water is in certain
stage, very low for several miles steamboats, shut
their furnace-doors and allow no torches to be
lighted, for fear of what the deck hands call set
ting the river on fre!" Frequently boats using
torches or keeping their furnace-doors open at
this particular place, have found themselves en-
quilted in blue flames, greatly to the alarm of the
passengers, and in several cases setting the steam
ers on fire. In some instances the passengers
have only been prevented by the stenuous exer-
tons of the officers from leaping overheard in
their alarm.
The cause of the singular phenomenon is simply
this: The bottom of the river becomes covered
with forest leaves and rubbish to the depth of
some inches, probably several feet. Boats in low
water run through this bed of vegetable matter,
their wheels stirring it up thoroughly. An in
fammabe gas is thus permitted to escape, which,
on communication with flame, at once takes fire
with blue blaze. At such times the boat is stopped
and the fame ceases. When out, the boat goes
on again, taking the precaution mentioned above
Unless allowed to continue some little time, this
burning gas is not apt to communicate its fame to
woodruff it is quite sufficient to seriously alarm
those not acquainted with its cause.

A GHosr IN LovE.-A farmer who had lately
become widower was aroused at midnight by the
loud barking Of his dog. On going to it the animal
displayed extreme terror, whereupon the farmer
took his gun and proceeded to an inspection. All
at once he saw phantom, clothed in white sheet,
rise behind the hedge. The farmer turned deadly
pale, and his limbs shook with dismay. He, how
ever, contrived to calculate, eff you come from
God, speak, if from the devil vanish" "Wretch !''
exclaimed the phantom, /" I am your deceased wife
come from the grave to warn you not to marry
Maria A, to whom you are making love. The
only woman to succeed me is Henrietta B.
Marry her. or persecution and eternal torment shall
be your doom!" This strange address from the
goblin, instead Of dismaying the farmer, restored
his courage. He accordingly rushed on the ghosty
visitor, and, stripping off its Sheet discovered the
fair Henrietta B. herself, looking extremely
foolish. 1t is said that the farmer admiring the
girls trick has had the bans published for his mar
rage with her.-Gatesend( Emg) Observer.

HONEYMOON Soon OvER-SCARCE BEGUN
On the up trip Monday night of the Isaac New
ton from New York, young woman, pas
senger, became acquainted and was smitten
with one Rogers, fireman on the boat, and
matters progressed SO happily and rapidly that
in the morning the twain appeared before JUS
tice Cole, with request that he should join
them for better or worse. Justice Cole endeav-
ored to persuade them that the step was too
precipitate, and had better be postponed until
the brides friends we're seen or consulted.
But no-they came to be married, and nothing
else, and so married they were, the bride pay
ing the fee. They left the Office together to
make the visit out West to the brides relatives,
which was her original intention. But alas !!
when at the Railroad Depot something occurred
to mar the but just consummated happiness,
and an officer had to be called upon to interfere.
He aseertained that the groom refused to ac-
company her, and had in his possession, and
refused to return them, the rings and breastpin
of the bride, unless she would 60 back with him
to the justice and sign document never to
trouble him again, or call on him for support.
She refused TO do 50, and also refused to have
him arrested, saying that if her friends knew
what she had done they would kill her. All
efforts at q compromise, or for the recovery of
the jewellery, being useless, the unfortunate
bride was compelled, an in tears and disconsoate
to leave her lord and master to pursue his way
The affair attracted quite q crowd, from which
the lady sought refuge ii the cars. Shame on
the unmanly husband! Both were from the
Emerald Isle.-Albany ExPyess.

DECLINE OF THE ANr1-SLAyERY SENTIMENT
The anti-slavery newspaper published at Washing
ton complains sore Of losing subscribers in conse-
quence of the inroads made upon their list by the
Know Nothing movement. Other anti-savery
journals and interests have been heard to utter
similar complaints. Indeed, the great anti-slavery
movement, originated by Senator Seward after the
passage of the Nebraska bill, seems to have reached
it eliminating point long ago, and to be receding
fast. All the inhammable materials for an anti
slavery organization have directed their steps to-
wards the Territories Of Nebraska and Kansas.
There they have been met by fierce hot-headed
antagonists from the South, and the battle has
begun. The rest of the Union happily rid Of the
agitators, they are welcome to fight it out in the
Territories, to have deperate battle once year
and publish regular lists of killed and wounded in
order to excite the sympathy Of either party. The
ant-slavery excitement which grew out Of the
compromises Of 1850, did not last eighteen months;
the Nebraska excitement is not destined to longer
period of exittence-N Y Herald
