Referee Ca,e,-A case Of some interest to
those who attend auctions, was tried before
Alderman Vincent on Friday morning last
It was as follows Mr.. John Stevenson sold,
with other things at auotion,-by Lewis W.
Stidham, Auctionesr, "a trunk that was lock-
ed, and the key at the time could not be found.
The trunk was knocked down to MIR. Joseph
Montgomery for "a. Mr.. Stevenson was in the
back part Of the building at the time OF the
sale, and was not aware that the trunk and
contents were sold, or that there was call
made for the key. The trunk contained va
rious articles Of clothing, valued by Mr. Sti-
venson at $23. He made demand on Mr..
Montgomery for the clothing, slleaging that
the trunk alone was sold, and not the contents.
Mr.. Montgomery on the other hand, insisted
that ne purchased both the trunk and contents
and refused to give them up. Mr.. Stevenson
accordingly brought suit before Alderman
Vincent for the contents Of the trunk. The
case was left to the following referees WIN.
Baxter, Thomas Roberts, and VIM. PrestoD.--
The auctioneer testified that the words used,
as near as he could remember, were, that he
g offered the trunk for sale, " and that he did
not intend to sell the contents. Other wit
nessss corrobOrated the words OF Mr.. S,idham,
but stated that they thought the trunk and
contents both were to be sold, and they bid at
1t under those considerations. Another Wit.
ness stated that "tho trunk might contain
clothes" Others said the auotion1er stated
that he sold the trunk as it stood. The re-
oeipt stated "the trunk was sold as it stood. +"
Two OF tho referees, Messrs. Baxter and Pres
ton decided that there was e. no CAUSE Of &C
tion." This Mr.. Roberts refused to sign con-
sequently the other two signed the award =
But as two are sufficient, the Alderman as le-
Rally bound, gave judgment in favor Of the
defendant.
We clip the following from the "Philadel-
pha Commercial List and Price current " Of
the l4th inst. The North American Transit
Company, OF this city, the only one of all the
numerous Insurance Companies chartered by
this State that makes speciality OF insuring
again Accidents. has this day paid three
hundred and ninety dollars (S390) to Mr..
John Schryock, of, ChambersOurg, who was
badly hurt on October l4th last, by the break
Ing OF an axle on the Railroad car in which he
WAS riding. He has been disabled ever since
Mr.. Schryock was insnied but for one day
| living paid ten cents for his ticket TO convey
| him safely to Philadelphia. On his way down
| the accident occurred, AID for six months he
| has been receiving at the rate of $l5 per week.
| We are glad Mr.. Schryock was insured, for
| bis own SAKE, as he was heavy loser by
| the rebel iucendiarsm at ChamDersburg,
which deprived him of nearly every thing that
he had, and this gratuity of $500 will no
doubt he very accept able just now. And We
| are glad, too, for the sake of the Insurance
Company, as it will show every day, and at all
| times aud must inevitably inurs to the bene :
| ft of the North American Transit Insurance
Company.

this Company. Gall upon them and get your
selves insured against accidents. Office 800

Rev. James S. Dichsrson. We are pleased Ia
| learn that the labors of our friend Dickerson

members have been added to the First Baptist
Church in Pittsbnrg, since his connection with
tone half the number by baptism and con
says, Rev. Mr. Dicksrson is, in the very best
aoceptation of the word, one Of the most pop.
ular of the Pittsburg ministers, while as a
Pastor few are his equals anywhere. His PEG.
pie seem devotehly attached to him, and God
has marked with unusual favor his ministry
among them. They have been worshipping
iu hall, but they have secured an eligible
site, and commenced the erection of house Of
worship which when completed, will vie in
beauty and completeness with any Baptist
church in the land.
