FREsuErs Us. DRoucHTs.-There being
much apprehension lest the recent ffeshets
should prove prejudicinl to health, DR.. James
Higgins, late State agricultural chemist in
Maryland, has written a communication, in
which he says:
"Paradoxical MS Il may appear at first sight,
yet il is fact, that great Jreshets and excessive
dr0ughtS on water courses are alike produc-
tive of pestileniial and epidemic Diseases
and from the same cause. Excessive droughts
lay bare the beds of streams, their banks and
shallow places, and leave exposed to the
heat Of the sun the deposits Of animal and
vegetable matter, which, during n greater or
less time, have been nccumulatng. Great
freshets remove the deposits from the beds
of streams and spread them on land left dry
by the receding flood and thus they are
subject to the same causes Of decomposition
as II left dry in the bed Of the streams where
first deposited. That the decomposition of
those deposits of alluval matter is most
fruitful source of disease, medical history
everywhere and in all cases teaches"

IMPORTANT LAW DECrsIoN.-Judge Yer
ger, of vicksburg, in the case of Miles q Ad.
ans Us. Martha E. Jackson et al, decided that
a policy of life insurance is not subject to
attachment either in law or equity, to satisfy
the claims of creditors. In this case c. A.
Jackson assigned his policy of $4,000 to the
defendants, and the next day died insolvert.
Among other questions, the validity of the
transfer was brought before the court, and
decided affirmatively. The following is the
language of the court on this point, as repor-
ted in the Southron
II is further more we'll settled that where
n debt or service or compensation Of any kind,
is not due, and where the party to whom the
same is payable, by his own act, or omission
TO perform some act, may defeat II, u IS not
liable in law or equity TO be subjected to the
claims of creditors; ms where party's COM
pensation depends on his performing certain
services, and he may, by refusing or omltt'ng
TO perform them, be not entitled to anything
So here il at any time the party failed or re-
fused to pay his annual premium, or pay
ments, the policy is defeated, and no creditor
has right TO make such payment to uphold
the policy, and secure IL as means OF paying
his debt, unless, such right is inserted In the
policy itself.
In this view Of the law, this court would
have no jurisdiction TO grant the reliei prayed
for by compliments.
