The RAREY LAW SUIT.-Rarey, the horse-tamer,
is out in letter in regard TO the suit brought
against him by Mr.. Denton Olutt. Rarey says:
wish to say, once for all, that regards any
infringement of any mans rights, or violation of
contract, | am prepared to show, at any time, be-
fore any court that my skill in the management of
the horse, and knowledge of his nature, has been
acquired only by lifetime of assiduous labor and
study; that, at the risk of life and at the the
pense of broken limbs, have worked up to its
present degree of perfection my system of horse
mauship. This is as much mine and my right as
ever was the right of to anything gained by
long and honest labor. | will not answer any more
attacks upon my reputation, but will endeavor, by
traigLtforward practice of my SKILL to prove its
efficacy and benefit the world
Respectfully, John S. RAREY.

BRAVERY OF THE You've QUEEN OF NAPLEs.-A
correspondent, writing from Gaeta, says that the
young wife of Francis Ii. is always to be seen in
the place of greatest danger. During the bonn
bardment of the 24rh and 25th of December, two
officers of the household were killed in the very
room in which she sitting, by the explosion of
a shell. Although the danger was imminent, the
Queen did not stir from her chair, and gave orders
for the removal of the dead bodies in the coolest
possible manner. The Spanish Minister had also
narrow escape, for as he was lying in bed he re-
ceived the rather unpleasant visit of round shot,
which smashed the washing stand opposite
A CURIOUS REiIc.--The WILMINGTON IN. C.)
Herald says: We have before US very. curious
and interesting relic, which was picked up on
''Money Island" in Wrightsville Sound, some days
since, by Mr.. C. E. Burr. 1t is an Indian pipe,
made OF clay, and having the color of an ordinary
red brick. An ugly face is carved in relief on it,
the features of which partake more of the charac-
ter of the negro than the Indian; or, rather the
whole affair resembles an Egyptian antiquity more
than anything else. 1t is large and clumsy looking
and when found was thicky coated with Sound
mud. We would like some antiquarian to examine
this pipe.
IMPORTANT FROM SYRIA.-Letters from Syria, re-
ceived at Boston, state that new conspiracies have
been discovered there, and another explosion OF
NOhammedan fanantcism is feared A plot mas
been discovered at Aleppo, and fourteen persons
have been arrested 1t is evident that II the Euro
pean troops were withdrawn, that there would be
no safety for Christians in the land. But the most
important fact is that the French Emperor refuses
to withdraw his army at tie end of the six months
agreed upon, and it is thought may insist upon per-
manent occupation of the country.

THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH CoMPANY.-The New
York Herald, of Thursday, says
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
American Telegraph Company was held Yesterday
at the Office of the company, No. Wall street
From the sta emeuts made in the report the affairs
of the company would appear to be in a most flour
ishing condition, the net profits for the last wear
being over twenty-five per cent. 1t is the opinion
of the directors that the working expenses of the
lines can be reduced after little to sixty per cent
being saving of fifteen per cent. on the present
expenditures. A congratulatory allusiou was m ade
to the settlement of the difficulties with the press
and the conclusion of contract with it for five
years. The report was adopted without discussion

Mr.. AND Mrs. BURCH COMING TOGETHER AGAIN.
1t is cautiously whispered among the familiar
friends of both parties in Albany, that Mr. and Mrs
Burch, whose divorce controversy recently created
SO much excitement about the country, are about
to come together again. 1t was with the view of
accomplishing TINS end that the further prosecution
of the controversy taken out of the Court after
Mrs. Burch had obtained the custody of her Young
est child, and mutual friends are now engaged in
effecting reconciliation upon the basis indicated
1t may be that such a determination may bring
upon the heads of both the indignation of thou,
sands, but doubtless they were equally imprudent
in the course of conduct which finally broug them
prominently before the public and consequently
may well resume peaceable relations of man and
wife, without any very great sacrifice on either
side. Mr.. Corning, it is understood, will acqui-
esce in any satisfactory arrangement that is ac-
ceptable to Mrs. Burch. In the meantime what is
to become of the Rev. Mr.. Williams ?-Boston

NJ. RAPHAEL FELIX has built a monumental chap

DECISION IN A DRAMATIC CoPYRIGHr CAsE-The
Supreme Court of Massachusetts have returned
rescript in the of Laura Keene rs. Moses Kim
ball, which was application for an Injunction to
restrain him from causing the play of the "Aineri-
can Cousin" to be performed at the Boston Muse
um, about two years since, upon the ground that
she possessed the sole property of representation
Mr.. kimball at the time gave bonds to abide the
result, which, it will be seen, fully sustains him in
the right. The following is the decision: That the
representation by the defendant of dramatic
work, of which the proprietor has no copyright,
and which he has caused to be represented and ex-
hbited without license from such proprietor, is not
violation of any right of property, and unless
done In violation OF some contract trust, cannot
be restrained by injunction.

of the succession are revivng, and it is said that

strong for saving the Union, should sustain Gree

publican party, and the strongest noncompromiser

! FoR1Y Men LOsT IN THE SY0w.-An English Jour
nal says: "Perhaps no more severe weather was
ever experienced the Yorkshire moors than
! that which prevailed during the past week. The
snow storms were continuous and heavy, occasion
ally attended with thunder, and in some of the
valleys the drifts Of snow are still twenty feet deep.
All trallc was stopped, and the partrdges and
grouse were driven off the mOors by scores, and
were picked up in the streets of Nation half dead
with cold and hunger. Vast numbers of crows
and other birds are found dead. The works on the
hosedale railway, in course of formation, have
oeen entirely suspended, and the laborers reduced
10 great distress Forty of these men were driven
from the works to seek shelter at the Esklitt Huts
on the bleak m0ors. where it seems thev were SHOWN
over and could not escape. Their continued alb
sence caused a search party to set off over the
moors, and by dint of great labor a passage was
made to the huts, where, on the door being opened
the poor fellows were found in a very exhausted
con2ition. They had been prisoners for two days
and nights, and had eaten their last provisions and
used their last fuel"
MAssACREs IN THE CHINA SEAs-Advices recently
received at Loyd's furnish information of several
horrible massacres perpetrated by pirates in the
China Seas. One or two large English ships are
supposed to have fallen into their hands, and the
crews have been all murdered. The schooner
Christian, formerly called Kate Darling, was on a
voyage with stores from Hong Kong to the troops
at Peiho, when she fell in with feet Of piratical
Junks, near the entrance of the Wangchow river.
The junks at once took forcible possession of her.
The crew, which consisted of the MASTER mate,
masters son, and ten hands, were all murdered,
with the exception of the lad. The master was
killed as he endeavorng to rescue his son, who
was being speared by the villains. In the confu-
sion the lad managed to slip overheard and swan
ashore, and was fed by fishermen for four
Cays, when he was taken off by a lorcha and was
eventually handed over to the care of the British
Consul. The pirates are reported to be very nu-
merous on the 4angtoza river; and several Euro
peans have been chased, and one boat captured.
Her Majesty's ship Pioneer has gone in search of
them.
