A SINGULAR CASES.. NJ. Holden of Ann

ny of Maine, and $4,000 in the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York. All these
policies were obtained eight or ten months
previous to his death. His wife now sues in
the United States Circuit Court at Detroit to
recover the amount of the policies. commen-
cling with the New York Company. The in
surance companies refuse to pay the money
on the ground that Holden's death was pro-
cured by fraud for the purpose of getting the
insurance on his life that he was not pecu-
niarily able to obtain such heavy insurance,
and had to borrow money to paw the premi-
ums, and that he was engaged in no business
afterwards up to the time Of his death. The
prosecution deny all these allegations, and
challenge close scrutiny into the whole mat
ter. The result of the trial is looked for with
much interest.

Douglas to the United States Senate. The
letter will appear tomorrow.
Later.-Vice President breckenridge writes
to John Moore, Chairman of the Illinois State
Central Committee, in reply to an in vitation

Mr. Douglas being the leader of the

with him, desired his success, and trusts that
the Democracy of that State, which has never
given sectional vote, will not be found lag
gard in duty to the Constitution and the

A BRAVE GIRL-Another burglar Seriously
Wounded.-The Rev. John Parker of Carmel,
Putnam county, New York, had occasion to
leave home, a few days ago. During the
night, young English girl, domestic in
the house, was awakened by noise proceed
ing from the next room. She arose, and,
arming herself with corn-slash "a formida-
Bile weapon) went boldly into the room to
learn the cause, when she saw a huge
block arm thrust through the window into
the room, attempting to reach the fastening
inside the shutter. She ordered the intruder
to leave, and, the order being UNDECIDED, the
corn-slash descended with great force upon
the arm, between the wrist and the elbow,
inficting fearful cash. The negro did not
wait for further orders, but left the house and
ran across a meadow, followed by the brave
girl with the bloody cane slash in her hand.
The next morning traces of blood were
tracked to considerable distance. The me-
gro remained quiet until last week, when DR..
Adams was called to dress the wound, and
found that the limb would have to be ampu.
tated, for want Of timely care.
