George A. Richards has recovered a verdict
of S203 90 against the town of Enfield, for the
loss of a horse by an alleged defect in the high
way The horse was hitched at post on the
10th of March, 1857, from which he broke
away and ran violently short distance, when
he turned off the road down a decliyity, and
fell and broke his leg. The jury, after long
consultation, rendered a verdict as above.
Exceptions have been taken, and the case will
go to the Supreme Court.

LIE INSURANCE.

On the publication of tire Insurance Com
snissieners' Report a year age, communica-
xion appeared in the Bostea Advertiser, giving
Z. pretended comparison of the relative condi-
tioR and standing Of the several Life Insurance
Companies in Ibis State. Public opinion at
tributed the authorship of the communication
to an Individual who was supposed to have
personal interest in the matter, However this
might have been, the article revealed an lg-
norance of the subject which entirely disqual-
flied the writer to treat of it, or else wilful
and malicious intent to misrepresent it, and to
deceive the public, This was SO palpable at
the time that we intended to take up the arti-
Gle and review it, but the pressure of other en-
gagements prevented, till the article got mis-
laid, and so was never attended to.
That article, in making the comparison,
placed to the charge of the State Life Assur-
ance Company of this city the sum of fifty
thousand dollars as guaranty capital, for which
it was liable to the stockholders, over and above
the whole amount that had ever been paid in,
and, by this adrot maneuvre, succeeded in
making it compare unfavorably with the 9TH
er offices, when in fact, at that time, as the re-
port showed, it stood better it still does, than
any other office in the State.
The new report of the present Insurance
Commissioners, just issued, affords an oppor-
tunity of making comparison of the same
kind as that made by the correspondent of the
Advertiser, of which we avail ourselves to pre-
sent the table below. That table will show,
that while the rates charged by the State Office
are about 10 per cent. lower than the others,
its business has been SO prudently managed
that it stands better for the assured than any
other office in the State, its assets being larger
in proportion to its risks, as will be seen by the
two last columns of the table, We have also
added the returns of the foreign Offices doing
business in this State, as gathered from the
Coro,nissionaro, PoDort.

The NEPHEW OF HIS UNcLE.-Should war
occur between France and Austria, of which
there is imminent danger, it is believed the
French Emperor will take the field in person
1t is well known that he has long desired to
try his skill in the command of an army, and to
direct the order of battle. Recent Paris let
tiers say that he has even procured imperial
camp equipage and uniform, the latter includ-
ing grey coat and cooked hat like those rem
dered SO famous by being worn by the great
Napoleon. The Emperor has had a thorough
military education, and doubtless understands,
theoretically, the art of generalship; but
whether, in practical warfare, he would add
fame or ignominy to his name, remains to be
seen. A question of SO much doubt may well
be left for time to dispose of.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHooLs.-After n
contest of nearly four years, much resembling
that which took place in this city, the School
Committee of Lowell have made choice of a
Superintendent of Schools, who will imme-
diately enter upon his duties. The wisdom of
such course is manifest. In large places,
where the school system is so extensive and
complicated as to require constant watchful
ness and advice to save it from becoming jar.
ring and inharmonious, there should be one
person, of suitable qualifications, to devote his
whole time and energies to them. The neces-
sity of such a course is yearly growing more
and more obvious, and it will ultimately COM
mand universal approval.

COPPER SToCKs.-Some very pretty for
tunes-prospective or otherwise-have been
made in Lake Superior copper stocks within
the last six months. The rise of the Pawa-
bic is among the most noteworthy. A few
months since its shares sold at 81, and to-day
they are held at So. The sales have been
mainly to those within the circle of proprietors !;
which fact induces some minds to believe it is
a wheel within wheel'-in other words, a
sheer speculation. 1t is safe to say that time
alone will show the permanent value of the
stock. Several gentlemen of our acquaintance
have secured comfortable competency by dis
posing of their shares while those who "hold
on, are quite sure of realizing fortunes. We
shall see. Cline works wonders"

A KENTUcKIAN LIBERATING EIGHTEEN
SLAvEs.-The entire number of slaves en-
ployed on the plantation of Mr. Robert Bar
nett, of Lincoln County, Ky, were brought to
the Probate Court yesterday by their owner
who executed the deeds of their emancipation.
They consisted of an old negro and his wife,
with their children and grandchildren, all of
the pure African race, with the exception of
one bright mulatto woman and her four boys,
remarkably fine looking children, between the
ages of thirteen and seven years, and some
what of a darker hue than the mother; there
were besides three young men, and the re-
mander were adult women--making, in all,
eighteen negroes.
Mr.. Barnett is close on seventy years has
never been married, and believing his present
property was sufficient independence for his
remaining years, carried out the noble project
of freeing from servitude these negroes many
of whom, he said, by their labor, had assisted
in the making of his present fortune, which
was not equal, however, perhaps to the money
value Of his slaves. He was offered $4,000
for them on the previous day but rejected the
offer, with the remark that he would not take
$4,000, the motive influencing him being of
higher character than that of gain.-C Cincinnati

LETTERS FROM WASHINGTON,

The correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune says
"a motion was made and filed at the Exec
utive session to-day to reconsider the vote
whereby Mr.. Wiggin was rejected on Satur-
day as Commissioner under the Canadian Re-
ciprocity Treaty, but no vote was had on the
subject.
The opposition to the confirmation of Mr..
Black as Governor of Nebraska was on the
ground that he was too Incorporate This was
about two months ago. Ever since that time
he has been in this city, illustrating the truth
of the charges against him, and is at the pres
ent time reduced to a sad condition.
There is a report that the anonymous letters
to Messrs. Key and Sickes, warning one and
informing the other, were written by female
friend of the former belonging in Baltimore,
who was jealous of his attentions to Mrs
Sickles."
From the Herald's correspondence:
can important decision was delivered in
the Supreme Court, this morning, by the Chief
Justice, in the case of the United States Us.
Sherman II. Booth, the Supreme Court Us
Error to Supreme Court of Wisconsin. The
case involved the right of State courts to re-
lease on labeas corpus parties in custody UNI
der process of the United States for Offences
against the United States. This was done by
the court below in the instance of an arrest
under Judgment by the District Court of the
United States for a violation of the Fugitive
Slave law. The whole conduct of the court
below was held to be totally illegal and virtual
ly revolutionary; that the Marshal had right,
and it was his duty, to resist by force any such
interference on the part of the Seate powers
and that the Fugitive Slave act was clearly
constitutional. This is, of course mere out
line of the opinion, which is understood to
have been unanimous"
The SIcKLEs TRAGEDY.-Under date of
the Sth inst, the Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press says;
"Mr. Sickles continues to receive visitors in
the guard-room of the county Jail. Crowds
attend upon him daily His mails are enor-
nous, and he writes great many letters. He
is cool and collected, looking exceedingly well,
and dressed with his usual precision and taste
No complaints escape him, and though he con-
verses freely with his friends, he gives way to
no levity. His beautiful little girl, Laura, Wis
its him daily His father and mother are So
journing at the Mansion House, or old Ebbett
House, and see him frequently. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bagioli, and their hapless daughter Mrs

Two countrymen visited Niblo's, in New
York, last week, and rendered a 500 for tick
cts. They received the change, and after be-
ing seated, were notified that the bill was
worthless. They offered to redeem 1t with a
good one, but two policemen hurried them to
a station house on charge of attempting to
pass counterfeit money. They protested
against such treatment, but were liberated only
after giving the policemen $l0O Subsequent
ly they complained to the Superintendent
who discovered the officers, took away their
shields, ordered them to remove their uniform
and not appear on duty until further orders.
The poor countrymen, however, lost both
money and performance.
