The plaintiff employed an agent to take a
note to the bank of defendants for collection.
Held, That it was competent for him to show
what instructions he gave his agent at the time.
to show the special agency And that the
proof being admissible for this purpose, and
the court having admitted it upon this ground,
1t was not error for which new trial can be
granted, that the counsel for the plaintiff
claimed a'guendO that it was admissible upon
a different ground.
If the defendants feared prejudice from this
cause, they should have requested the court to
charge the jury, that they could only consider
the evidence for the purpose for which it was
properly admissible
A question which called only for the opinion
OF witness as to his sOlvency at certain time,
was properly excluded by the court
The fact of the insolvency of a person may
be proved by general reputation 1t falls with
in the class of exceptions to the rule excluding
hearsay evidence.
Where the jury agreed upon their verdict,
sealed the same and separated, and upon COM
ing into court the following morning, stated to
the court that they had agreed, but had made
mistake in their figuring, Held, That the
court committed no error in directing them to
retire and reconsider their verdict.
A new trial will not be granted on the
ground of newly discovered evidence, where
the applicant does not show that he has used
all due diligence to procure the testimony be-
tore the trial, nor where the evidence is merely
cumulative. The rule in regard to cumulative
evidence is not changed, from the fact, that in
this State, parties themselves may be witnesses.

CORoNER's INQUEST. Coroner Strother
held an inquest Saturday on the body of the
little boy Willie Morse, who was drowned a
few days since near Cobbs Mill. The body
was discovered by Mr.. August Golfers, gen.
tleman who CHANGED to be on the levee Friday
evening. He at once stripped off, waded in,
and brought out the body. The jury returned
the usual verdict in such cases. This poor
woman, the mother of the boy, has been sadly
afflicted. 1t is only few weeks since her bus-
band was accidentally poisoned by eating wild
artichokes, the following week her youngest
child died suddenly, and now, in two weeks af-
ter, another child is called away by violent
death. Surely this is a case deserving some as
sistance from charitable public.

false starts the animals-biped and quadruped-
got off in full style, closely followed by the
gallant Captain as time-keeper, and the indom-

time was excellent, both animals, displaying

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-A fire broke out
Saturday morning, about three O'Clock, in a
woodshed attached to the residence of Theo-
dore Borup Esq. on eth street, which quickly
communicated to the main building, and from
thence to the houses occupied by Mr.. Champ
lin and Mr. Lee.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
probable theory is that it originated in a heap
of manure which lay outside of the woodshed,
in an alley way, and which it is supposed may
have become ignited during the day by a spark
from the pipe of one of the men working
round the premises, and smouldered on unno-
ticed till the time it broke out in the woodshed
The Firemen were on the ground soon after
the alarm was given, and rendered considera-
BILE assistance in saving the buildings and also
large amount of property out of the burning
houses, but. owing to the almost total absence
of water were unable to subdue the flames.
The wind blew perfect hurricane, and flakes
of fire were carried about in every direction,
rendering it extremely difficult, and even dam
gerous, for the Firemen and others engaged in
the work of saving the houses on the opposite
sides of the streets.
The total amount of loss is about ten thou
sand dollars, on which there was an insurance
of about eight thousand dollars. as follows:
Mr.. Borup, $500; Mr.. Champlin, $4,000
Mr. Cakes, who owned the house occupied by
Mr.. Lee, 81 800; Mr.. Lee had an insurance on
his furniture in the Connecticut Fire Insurance
Company of Hartford, of 500. The other
risks were divided, we believe, between the
Home and Phoenix Companies. Mr.. Cakes
loses about 81, 900 over his insurance.
In addition to the above losses, a valuable
span of horses, worth about $500, owned by
Mr.. Champlin, were burned
The greater portion of the furniture belong
ing to the above gentlemen was saved, but
some of it, of course, in a damaged condition.
This city can i'll afford to lose a number of
frst-class houses, such as were destroyed last
night. If there were sufficient number of
cisterns located in proper positions, and Hose
Company established with about one thousand
feet of hose there would be no necessity to
talk of q steam tire-engne. We wOnld like to
know of what use an engine is without water
and where we cannot get water in sufficient
quantity to supply even one engine, as was
fully evidenced yesterday morning, we cannot
see how fire can be eXlinguished.
We trust that the City Council may take
some action in this matter, and have sufficient
additional cisterns built as soon as practicable.
The saving effected in one year would more
than counterbalance the expenditure incurred
in their construction.

SYLLABUS.
4 lease contained covenant to pay certain
rents and all taxes during the term, and also q
stipulation allowing the landlord to re-enter
for breach of any of the covenants on the part
of the lessee. There was a stipulation waving
demand in case of default in the payment Of
rent, in these words ''That if it snail happen
that any installment of the rent hereinbcfOre
reserved, shall not with the interest accruing
thereon be paid to the said party of the first
part, his heirs and assigns, without demand,
within thirty days after the same shall have be-
come due and payable, or at any time thereaf-
ter, if demanded, &c. The complaint alleged
breaches in the nOn-payment of rent, and also
taxes. Held that the stipulation to waive de-
mand, only obviated the necessity of making
the common law demand on the due date of
the rent, and that if the landlord desired to re-
enter under claim of the lease being forfeited
for the non-paymcnt of rent, at any time after
the due day, he must make a demand. Held
further, that no demand is necessary to entitle
che landlord to re-entcr for breach of a cove
nant to pay taxes.

for trial, created considerable interest. 1t was
that Of the United States VS.. Patrick Griffin
and the charge was brought by Mr.. N. N.
Thompson, Enrolling Officer for West st. Paul.

ment, that while in the discharge of his duty,
obtaining list of names of those subject to
militia duty. he was knocked down and abused
by the defendant. Griffin was arrested, brought
up before the Commissioner, yesterday, and
