SUPERIOR CouRr-Judge allen Presidinq.-
Ladies' Collegiate Institute VS.. William A.
French. This action was brought to recover
the sum of $40 alleged to have been subscribed
by the defendant toward the funds of the
plaintiff institution. The defendant contended
that the subscription constituted no valid CON
tract, that it was without consideration. that
the conditions on which it was made had not
been fulfilled, and that no notice of any com
planes had been given to him. He also raised
several objections to the validity of the organ
ization of the corporation, and claimed that
his contract was not with them, but with
another and different organization, under the
same name. The Judge, without expressing
his opinion on the various questions raised,
directed the jury to find by their verdict the
amount of the plaintiffs claim, and reported
the case TO the Supreme Court for a decision
of the legal questions involved. Dewey &
Williams for plaintiffs Hoar and Ranney for
defendant.
The case of Church Howe vs. Lowell Baker
was commenced. Devens & Hoar for plain.

Juries were dismissed, and the Court will hear

iect carefully, and digested plan, which he
presented to many of the leading statesmen of
the different countries. 1t received universal
appreciation as the most rational and feasible
that had ever been proposed. He then relin-
quished all personal considerations, and gave
himself wholly to tile advancement of his
great object. The writer of this spent
some time with him IN the city of
Geneva, Switzerland, last summer, and
learned from him his views and inter
tons. He seemed fully impressed with
the vastness of the measure and the
difficulty that stood in the way of lis accom-
pshment. But nothing daunted, he resolved
deliberately to consecrate his life to the attain
ment of his object, and had that life been
spared, we have reason to believe he would
have been ultimately successful.
He was man of enlarged views, of gener'
GUS and noble nature. lie looked upon the
subject as one of vast importance to mankind,
and entered upon his work with that heroism
which always ensures final triumph One
fact will give faint view of the magnitude
of the great evils now suffered from the an
tiquated and absurd ceremonies of the old
world. 1t has been estimated by those best
qualified to judge, that 100000 persons are
constantly employed in Great Britain alone by
the ertra lrork which a currency of pounds,
shillings, pence, and farthings occasions, over
what would be required by decimal cur
rency Thus the labor of 100000 men would
be saved annually in one kingdom alone, by
the reform proposed. So of all the natives
of Christendom. These considerations lead
us to regard the death of Mr.. Tefft as great
public calamity. Aw,

WHAT THEY WILL SAY OF HIM AFTER HE is
ELEcTED.-The editor of the ST. Joseph MOI
Daily West, having received despatch an
nouncing tho election of Mr.. Sherman as
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
smoothed the wrinkles which had gathered
above his democratic eyebrows, and wrote as
follows :-"Of course it is impossible to state
positively how this result was brought about,
but we presume the plurality rule must have
been adopted. From all we have heard of the
character of the Speaker elect, save his in
dorsement of the Helper book, we are inclined
to believe that he will make an able and i'm
partial presiding officer, and that his election,
however it may affect the interests of party
politics, will in no serious way initiate against
the interests Of the country at large" 1t is an
unexpected prophecy of the acquiescence
which viii follow the election of Mr. Sherman
on the part of every member of Congress who
is willing to remain and take his $4,000 per

BOLD ROBBERY IN BLACKsToNE.-Tw
persons, Alonzo Hurd and Lawrence Donelly,
were detected in Blackstone, Tuesday, in the
act of robbing the safe in the office of the Nor
folk County Railroad Company, in that town.
The circumstances, as stated in the Woon-
socket Patriot are as follows For several
months past, sums of money, varying from
$40 to 500, have been missed, at different
times, from the safe of the company. The
safe bore no evidences of violence, and the
conclusion was irresistible that the robbery
was committed by some persons who had a
key for their own private uses. One of the
detectives from Boston was secreted in the of
flee during the absence of the clerk and the
superintendent, who kept up his weary watch
for many days and nights, without success
On Tuesday last, however, while the officers
were at dinner, the quick ear of the detective
heard unusual footsteps approaching the of

and was about to transfer pretty roll of bank
notes to his pocket, when the detective sprung
from the clothes press, and took him prisoner.
The person at the door, Lawrence Donely,
surprised by the apparition, ran away, and has
not since been seen. The person arrested
proved to be Alonzo Hurd a young man 20
years of age, and Of good connections. He
made full confession, acknowledging the
robbery of several hundred dollars. In de-
fault of bail he was committed to Jail in this
city, to await his trial

debate at specified time" which is to be in
order next after the motion for the previous
question. A new rule is reported that ga mo-
ton to close the debate at specified time shall
be put at or before that time" Rule SO is
amended by providing that rule SO shall not be
suspended except by unanimous consent Rule
AZ is amended as follows:
mo person except members and officers of
the House, or members and officers of the
Senate, shall be admitted within the bar of the
House, without card from the Speaker
The other amendments are unimportant.
Mr.. HALE OF Boston expressed his approba-
ton OF the changes reported. The report was
then accepted, and an order adopted for the
printing of it.
Afterwards, MIR. GRIFFIN of Maiden moved
a reconsideration of the vote by which the
rules were adopted He proceeded to state
nus objections to the proposed substitute for
rule AZ. lie thought it would prove very in
convenient to the members, as well as to the
Speaker.
Mr.. TUCKER of Boston objected to the rule,
because 1t would be dead letter, like the pre-
sent rule. Mr.. MERRILL of Boston thought
tlle present rule preferable to the new one.
MI hiMBALL ot Boston moved to substitute
the following:
NO person shall be admitted within the rail
10 tie seats OF members or on the floor of the
House, except upon invitation of some mem
Der, or with the leave of the Speaker"
Mr.. HALE of Boston defended the rule par-
ucularly ON the ground that members of other
departments government would be excluded
from the House.
MI GRIFFIN replied and reviewed the ar.
guments OF Mr.. Hale, stating that in his opin-
ION the new system would prove wholly made
quate to cnre the evils complained Of The
lobby members and the members of the other
departments would be the very ones to get ad-
mtted. No speaker, however firm in his de-
termination to do his duty, would be able to

Marriages and Deaths in Worcester, in
1883.

Marriages and Deaths in Worcester, in
1859.
The registration Of marriages and deaths for
the year 1859 has been completed by the. City
Clerk, from whose books we have gathered,
with considerable care, some statistics of gen
eral interest.
MARRIAGES.
The whole number of marriages in 1859 was
307, or an increase of So over the number in
the preceding year. With reference to sea
sons, the largest number of marriages were
committed in autumn, the smallest in spring.
With reference to months, the largest number
was in October, the smallest in March. May
and June were favorite months and also JAN
uary and November. But the rest were hard
ly respectable. Of the recorded marriages, 15S
were solemnized by Protestant clergymen, SO
by Catholic clergymen, and % by justices of
the peace, while % couples went out of town.
The justices had nearly double the bust
ness of the year 1858, while the ap
plicationS to clergymen were, relatively,
about the same. In two cases only, out of
the whole number, were both parties bride and
groom, born in Worcester. To SO marriages,
both parties were of Irish birth to II others,
either one or the other was of the same natiyi
ty. In seven instances bridegroom and bride
were born in Germany. One stalwart product
of the plains of Asia was married to Cana
dian bride in the season of green leaves and
blushing flowers. OF native grooms II were
united with foreign brides, and 9 native brides
married to foreign grooms There was less
popularity than usual in the ages of the par
ties. Seven brides had not passed the age of
16 years, while others were past 40. The
youngest bride was aged Is years. The
youngest couple were youth Of 10 and a
maid of II. Of the brides, 33 numbered
18 years and under, while but two grooms had
less than 20 years. The proprietes of age
were preserved with great uniformity. The
few cases of disparity were the marriage of a
a groom of 54 and a bride of "a; groom of
29 and bride OF 80; groom of So and a
bride of 26; groom of 40 and bride of 20
groom of Al and bride of 10. In single
case the recorded age Of both was 60 years.
DEATHS.
The whole number of deaths was $40, of
which 261 were of males, and 249 of females.
The number OF deaths in 1858 was the same.
The ratio to population as l to 46. Of the
number, "a were inmates of the Asylum.
