Last evening about 9 o'clock, Mr.. ORLAN-

head and heart we had learned to love him
with n deep and holy love and few out of
his own family will miss him more than
ourself. BE was II ripe scholar, a forcible
writer, and deeply yersed in the politics

Though enfeebled in body for five or six
years by what has proved to be fatal mall

ways has triumphed over disease, and
proved superior to adverse fate.
We join with our friend of the Tribune
in our offerings of condolence to the honor

have experienced in this aud several other

LIFE Insurance CAsE.-The Rome
n. Y } Sentinel says case has been recent
ly decided by Judge Allen, involving a nov
eI and important question. Powers s.
Greene a resident of Little Falls, N. Y,
few years ago, being then unmarried, pro-
cured an insurance of $4,000 upon his life,
in his own name, and delivered the policy as
a gift to his aged, widowed, and dependent
mother. The gift was by parol with no
written assignment. Subsequently Mr..
Greene married. but kept up the payment on
his policy, and handed the receipts over to
his mother; by his will he also gave the
policy to her after mis- death, and in set
Ting up the estate, it was found that the
personal property was insufficient to pay his
debts the executors took this policy, pro-
cured the money uponit from the insurance
company, and used the money to pay his
debts, before resorting to sale of the real
estate The mother brought an action
against the executors for the money, and
the case was tried before Judge Allen, who
held the delivery of the policy and the sub
sequent receipts to the mother was a dOna-
ton, valid and binding without an assign
ment in writing. 7-za seea3 20 1g.1T

In the proceedings Of the Yanceyite State
mass meeting at Indianapolis will be found
their proposition for joint electoral ticket.
The Democratic Central Committee have no
authority to entertain any such proposition
or to make bargains of any kind with the
boilers. The Democracy will vote for no
man for Elector who is not pledged, fully
and unequivocally, to the support of Ste
phen A Douglas and Herschel Y Johnson.
That is the sentiment of every friend of
Douglas and Johnson whom we have heard
speak on the subject. AA
Our Enquirer thus discourses: -.
With the GOODNESS of a bankrupt gambler
they proposed to so into partnership with
men of substance. They have absolutely
proposed to unite with the men they de-
nounce as enemies of the Democratic party
on condition of receiving their share OF the
spoils.
These bellicose gentlemen may yet be
