IMPORTANT HOTEL CAsE.-In the Court of Com
mon Pleas, in the case of Forbes vs. Howard pro-
prietor of the Howard Hotel, where the former,
traveller had his room broken open and rob-
bed of his trunk and $3.50 in god and where
the latter refused compensation on the ground
that it was notified by placards in the hotel that
all boarders having valuable packages, or large
amounts of money in their possession, must de-
post them in the safe for safe keeping, or stand
their own risk of losing their property, the
judge decided that this notification did not alter
the case, that whatever be the nature of the inn,
or of the accommodations offered, if the inn-keep-
er receives guest and his goods, he charges
himself with their safe keeping. The moment
the goods are in, mira hospitia1m, the liability
ofthe inn-keeper attaches, and that liability OK
tends to all kinds of property. A judgment
was brought against the hotel keeper for s562.

ANIMAL INSTINCT AT FAuLr.-We observed
a flock Of wild geese, going South yesterday
morning. They had probably been making Tan
examination Of rivers, ponds and sloughs, and
had found all frozen up good and solid, and
therefore concluded to 60 back to the sunny
South and wait a little longer" They were ma
kisg a most dismal outcry in concert, which we
took to be an expression of their chagrin and
disappointment. Some persons are wont to as
eribe to animal instinct greater degree Of in
telligence than to mind. This, however, We take
to be pretty good evidence that goose may be
mistaken as well as other folks.

Two rival lovers who have been at variance
for some time, happened to meet at the house of
the fair damsel last evening, and questioning
each other as to who had the best right to show
his affections to the damsel, became angry and
finally got to blows, and for while matters looked
serious. The old lady happened in at this point
and learning the state of affairs, procured raw

eight years, lost his life Friday last, under the
following melancholy circumstances:
An elder brother of his had, unknown to his
father, procured pistol and secreted it, loaded.
in the house, during the absence of Edward, who
afterward discovered the pistol, and, not being
aware that it was loaded, put the muzzle against
his abdomen, a little below the stomach, and
while in that position it went of, lodging the en-
tire contents in the intestines. He lived few
hours in great agony. He was fine lad, sland his
sudden death is severe affection to his parents

THE GEAR N1cHoLAs.-It is said that the Paris
Conference will be carried on as though Nicholas
still lived. The Allies not having been officially
informed of the death of Nicholas, and the access
sion of Alexander, are supposed, automatically
to be ignorant of the change. And should IA
treaty of peace be signed, one of the first acts of
the Russian government will be, on resuming di-
plomatic intercourse with England, France and
Turkey, to inform those governments, that His
Imperial Majesty the Car Nicholas is no more
and his august son, Alexander, reigns in his
stead over all the Russias.
