Mr.. BARsuMs LIABlLITIEs.-The New


York Tribune says -
In addition to the facts given in relation
TO Mr.. Baruum, We have further details The
mortgage on Iraristan. which cost about
Sl50,000, is Sl25000. which is probably
more than it is worth. The mortgage on the
East Bridgeport property is Sls5,000. Mr..
Fred. Croswell has been appointed assignee
of Mr. B. on petition of the New Haven
County Bank, and Mr.. Landlord on petition
OF the Farmers Bank of Bridgeport. The
collision between these assignees must be set
tied by the Courts. Claims must be presen-
ted in sixty days. The mortgages against
Mr.. Barnunl's real estate on record in New
York are $4,000. His confidential debts
ore about 100000. The collection of curl
osities in the Museum is in the possession Of
Messrs. Greenwood d Butler. The assets
OF the Jerome Company, set down as worth
about 100000 would not probably sell for
over Sl50,000 or 100000 Mr.. Chauncy
Is. jerome, the founder of the clock compa-
ny, who owned $4,000 of the stock, has
also been forced into bankruptcy by the
Stamford Bank. He is reported to have

OUR RELATIONS w,rH ENGLAND.

The State Department sent into the SEN
ate a number of documents bearing on the
Central American question, as far back as
1850. Among them is plan proposed by
Mr.. Marcoleta to Lord Clarendon, two years
ago, that Nicaragua, Great Britain and the
United States unite in treaty for the set
tlement of the Mosquito Indian question.
Mr.. Marcy, in a letter TO Mr.. Marcoleta,
denies that Great Britain has any sovereign
right over any part Of Central America, and
to mite with her in the treaty proposed,
would be a distinct acknowledgment that she
has, and that any such arrangement would
interfere with the claims set up by Costa

EXTRAORDINARY NEEDLE CAsE.--The West
Chester (Pa.) Examiner says:
ave published, a few weeks ago, an article
relative to yonng woman about 10 years OF
age, in Warwick township, Chester county,
who had fifteen needles extracted from her
foot. Marvellous as the circumstances was
regarded at the time, the truth has not all
been told. Since the first needles were re-
moved, twenty-five more have been extracted
from the same foot, and one surgeon who
operated informs US that he thinks there are
some ten or fifteen more yet imbedded in the
foot pr. Heckel informs us thpt the needles
lie in and about the instep, and that the
points having worked TO the surface, they
are easily extracted by forceps. In some
instances an incision was made. aud the
needles removed. The limb does not appear
very sensible TO pain. The young woman
alleges that some ten years ago she jumped
or stepped on needle cushion, and that the
| needles entered her foot, and have since re.
manned there, causing no pain until recently

81 per ton, or ten cents higher than last year
The Pottsville boatmen were in favor Of last
years rates, but were overruled, it is said, by
the Richmond boatmen. The Miners Jour
nal regards this increase as bad policy, tend
ing to diminish the trade. Last year prov
sions were high and horse feed dear. This
year, every indication points to a reduction
in the price of these articles so that the ne
cessty for these high rates Of freight is moi
as great now as then, and a paying freight oI
last year may prove profitable one the com
ing season. The true policy, it says, is tc
start at low and fair paying rates, and there
by cause regular and steady business
throughout the season, and by all means
guard against falling market towards the
close OF the year There appears to be rea
son in the Journals opinions on this subject
but the boatmen doubtless understand thei
