SUPERIOR COURT

 The Court, Judge Ellsworth presiding, has been in session three weeks. and has business sufficient on the docket to continue i, three months longer. The cases brought up tisas far are as follows: --s.. - Lyman Marks vs. G,eenpood's Insurcnce Co.-The plaintiff had house and barn, situated in Hsr,land, insured for $l050 by the Company. which property was barned in 1850. Suit was brought to recovsr in. surance, but the manner in which The fire originated acquitted the defendants of their liabilities, and verdict was rendered ac- cordingly.
 Barnum 4 Richardson vs. Horace Lsn- don # co.-Ssit for taking too large share of ore from the Salisbury ore.bed. Yer dict for plaintiff.
 Rodney Brace vs. Geo. Clercland and others. s.-This was case of trespass- about half an acre of land and rocks on top of '' Red Mountain." worth two and sixpence, is in dispute. The matter has
 
 been in court three years, and has been tried once before, the plaintiff getting we believe verdict of S2o; the present jury give him but half that sum. .e.. ss .-s.-.s Harvey Steel and Iron Co vs. Winsted Foundry and Machine Co.--Suit brought for excessive attachment, and damage 10 property attached. It appears defendants sent an officer to secure a debt due them i; the man attached lot of steel the night preceding the great freshet of November, 1853, and removed it to building which the next day was flooded, thereby damaging the metal. It was also shown that some eight different qualities of steel which were assorted at great expense. (.he metal having to be heated to test it,) were mixed-for which the plaintiffs claimed si600 damages. The jury could no, agree. standing eleven for plaintiff and one for deft. ss Chas. BooM vs. Daniel 4. .Grant.- Plaintiff bought horse which he claims was warranted by the deft. but has no papers or witnesses to show the fact The aninIai proved unsound, and def. denies the warrant; parties live in Torrington.- Verdict for deft. Id. .s. -ts... Daniel vs. Adam Bentley, both of Goshen Plaintiff claimed fraudulent sale of cow, and got S23 damages. Butler vs. Mason.-Action on award of arbitration; parties from New Hartford - Verdict for plaintiff SIP 80 and costs.

AN naNSbSNot 1NN AtSS.
 DEAR ESeUIRER:-I do not know that can convey to you any particular inselIi. gence other than is imparted through the columns of our local papers. and yet, i, may he that can more generalise through the medium of letter, or may more pro. perly say compress within it's limits gen. eral view of California. l may hurriedly say tha, we are a fast people out here, and as the people make the State, it is unneces. sary to add that we are progressive spe. cies of the human family. In fact we have in some respects carried this mania of pro- gress so lar. that, to use a common Cali. fornla saying. we nearly knocked the bottom out of our bucket" s....
 San Francisco has so liberally provided for her officials. that they have all become rich. and she has become poor. She un- doubted!y has been liberal mother, but the fountains of her bosom have become dry ; she is literally bankrupt. As I said before, notwithstanding the slate of finances, we are fast state. We have in San Francis co, two theatres, which for beauty and fin- ish will compare with any of the old cities on your side; we have besides neat little French establishment which only cost S6o,000, and we have negro minstrels' hall, with Eph. Horn as the presiding gen. jus. At Stockton they have G,e proof sa0,Oo0 theasre-at Sacramento. fire proof SIG, ,000 theatre, with front more beauti- ful in fnish than any we have yet seen in the S,aies. Throughout all the inland towns. these temples of the muses are rear ing their heads
 !. Now let us talk of another subject = Forgive me if mix up religious with se- cuisr matters, or If have put the drama before the church. For our tour places of amusement in San Francisco, we have al least 2l churches. many of them imposing edi6ces-many ofthem aided in their con sstraction by the funds of the gambler and the wanton. | do not like to say this, bus as have been taught 10 state the truth, in my youth. l will not disguise fact in my manhood. In Sacramento, they have aen places ef public worship--in Stockton ses- en, and throughout the State in proportion, five places for the worship of God to one of the deca! That, my religious friends nust do US tho credit to say, is at least a ehsefing prospect. s 2

A Speaker Elected.

We believe it is cheering announce ment 10 the whole country that Speaker has been elected by the House oi Repre-. senta,ives, and we know it is gratifying to tho North to learn that the man is Nathaniel P. Banks of Massachusetts. The plurality rn'e was 6naIly adopted last week, and on Saturday the l30,h ballot was taken. re- sulting as follows: Banks l03, Aiken 100, Fuller 6, Campbell of Ohio 4, Wells l.-- He had thus three plurality over Aiken of South Carolina, upon whom the Southern Know No,hings and the Administration Democrats had united The coalition was confident of success. as Aiken on Friday boiled more votes than Banks had receiv- ed. and it was bought he was safe. As i, is, the Democrats have the mor,ifying re- aection that they .bargained with their bit ter enemies, the K. Ms, and made nothing by it. The exhibition of firmness hy the friends of Banks, has been amply reward. ed. Its moral force will De manifested in future encounters between the North and the South. @@

A DISGRACE TO THE COUNTY.

A DISGRACE TO THE COUNTY.
 The barbarous outrage a, Kent. of which we spoke, last week appears even more dis, graceful as We learn the particulars. Wm. T. Elwyn was complained of for selling rum at Bromica, near the Warren line. and Justice F. NJ. Kellogg of Warren, found him guilty, and inflicted fines amounting to $40. On Monday otlas, week, Mir. K-l. logg again visited the place for the trial ol the seizure of the liquor, and no one ap. bearing for the defence, it was declared for. feited. A crowd of some two hundred men had gathered at the spot, and as Mir. K. started. a rail was thrust before the horses and the team stopped. He was dsagyeJ out, choked by his ,ippet until nearly in- sensible. then covered wi,h tar and pill .ow-case of fea.hers. thrown on, and then rode on rail--ali in open day light. We think Mr. Kellogg, the three men with him tn the sleigh. and Deputy -Sheriif Walter D. Speuy must have had an intense respec, Tor the non'resisiant principle, to hsv, sub mi.ted quietly 10 such tieatmeni-pzrticu- iar'y alter they were warned swhss so ex- pect.
 Those most actively engaged in she out rage have leh. some for the Wesl, and some taking refuge across the New York State Line. A bench wassaat was issued hy Jsdgs Ellswos,h. and some half.dozen others were brosgLt in las! week by Sheriff Wssslis they will probably hseszmiasd neA. week.

TOWN MEETING.

The adjourned town meeting was held tn the Court House on Monday, and tax of II cents laid on list of 1855. It was stated that Is cen, tax would pay up all the debt, and 1t appears to us it would be good policy to impose tha, amount, and clear the town of it's indebtedness at once.

A Dusiness Sketch of Business Man.
 We copy the following sketch of the life ol . very tx,raord'nary man, from an edi,oria! in the N. Y.Sun; ..s. -...
 As an illustration of business tact and tai. ent. we may point ,s the career Of Professor Holloway, the proprisior Of the most popula' medicines Of lhe age. The rise and progress of this extraordinary man have had no paral tel during the present century. He has vi.- tied nearly every Cou,t in Europe, and ob. tainci permission tor the sale of his Prepara tions from most of the crowned heads Of the Old World. The queens ot Spain and Por. tugal, the kings Of Naples and Sardinia granted him audiences; and in St. Peters. buzz, which city he visited short time before the commencement of .hs war, he was treated with marked consideration by the late Cza, and the nobility. .. .4
 Travelling in an elegant private carriage, attended by . courier, his equioage attracted attention in the towns and villages ihrougi, which hc passed. The hotcls where he iodgsd were besieged by persons of the hrsi distinction, and tho best society on the cont nent coarted his acquaintance.
 The subject of these remarks is unques. siousaiy an ambitious man. aud his skill and enierpnse have placed him lar in advance oi all his predecessors and contemporari,s in the same profession. He stands siene; aud the fact that he can maintain his high posi-. ton, despite the interested asssults of envy and presumption, proves that his medicines have an intrinsic value, which the world un dess,anJs and appre cis,es. e.
 The sums expended n advertising by Professor Holloway would be incredible if they wete not authenticated hy his books.-- f1s pHyments to the press range from sl5o, 900 10 20O, 900 per annum. There is no printed language in which his advertisements do not appear. gs.s
 Inc rami6ca,ions of his husiaess extend Tom the focal point-his vast establishment n ni in tho Straad, LOnden-over the whole face ofsthe earth
 This extraordinary man is nowin .his couniry --is tAis eify. The Tribune, in just tribute to his matchiess enterprise, eays, that having. like Alexander, subdued the Old World, he is now prepasing io corquei the .Ntv.
 Professor Holloway has 10, been tempted hthsr by thirst Tor gain.-for his wealth is sufficient to satisfy the most erigeaat worship. per of usamm"a-but by a ph.lsathropic de- siie 10 extend the benefit of his medic ines among . peop:e whose character he adn,lrcs Everybody is, of course. anxious to sec the greaieet sadvertisef in the world. In very short period, the American reputation of tloi. loway's Phls and Hollowsy's Ointment will r'val their European fame. @

Luther sIenson's Insurane. Co.


 The late Metropolitan fire and marine insurance company of Boston. as shown up in recent report of the insurance com- missioners, was the greatest piece of ras- csliiy in it's way ever perpenatrd in Mas. sachusetts. Luther Monson of Canaan, in this county. was the prime operator and the president of the company. None of its capital stock was ever actually paid in 1; yet 1t did an immense business, allowing to agents in some cases as high as 30 per cent on the premiums received by them. The books show S6s6 ,532 received in pre-. miums in IS mon.hs and 47I ,625 paid for losses and expenses; but the commission CTS seriously anpugn the correctness of it's own records of its business, and close their accom-, of the company by saying :. The causs of it's insolvency arises from fraud in the management of it's funds, reckless ex- travagance in its expenses, the extended field of its operations. and the failure of many of lts agents 10 account for the pre- miums received by them. "
 Monson is supposed to be at Cuba, and his partners are perfectly willing he should remain out of sight, as his return and ex animation might expose financial opera. tions not particularly creditabie to them. f .5
