AGRICULTURAL PREPARATIONS IN
TExAs.-We read in a recent num-
Der of the Houston (Texas) 1cle-
graph: 81.
We hear of a great many contracts
having been made for the next year.
In fact, we believe that more than
half the agricultural freedmen in this
lower country have engaged their
homes, and will be ready to 60 to
work after the holidays. Contracts
are various. Some are for specific
monthly pay, also clothing, food,
doctors bills, an acre of land, and
Saturday afternoons others for
specific monthly wages without any
thing but board others for share
of the crop; and others still on wages
now, and so much a hundred for
cotton picking. Some pay monty,
others quarterly, others the first
quarters wages at the end Of six
months, and the balance at the end
of the year, Some furnish clothing
and medical attendance and charge
it against wages. In fact, no fixed
rule has been made, and the matter
as it should be is left as much as
possible to the law Of supply and
demand.
Those who are undertaking the
plantations are mostly their owners,
though we hear of large farms being
rented both by Northern and South
ern men. One Northern man has
taken place of 1000 acres, and EN-
ploys lao hands to work it. A
friend of ours, who has planted all
his life nearly, has taken three plan
tations and contracted with all the
labor he wants for them.

No RECOVERY UPON LIFE IN
sURANcE WHERE DEATH Results
FROM LAW BREAKING BY THE In
,sURED-tSupreme Conrt-Part III.
Before Judge Mullen. Burton E.
Clark, VS.. The Mutual Life Insurance
Company. The plaintiff brought
action as assignee of policy of in
surance made by Matthew /. Cluff,
,upon his own life, February 9th,
1858, for $4,000, upon which he
paid and annual premium of $40 90.
+: CIuf, who went South with General
]: Butler, died near Baton Rouge, Loui-
!: siana, February goth, 1864, and the
!: company refused to pay the amount
: Of insurance, alleging that his death
resulted from known violation of
; law, which was one of the exceptions
named in the policy.
1t appeared that Cluff, who resided
in Boston, went to Louisiana during
the war and obtained an order from
a government agent permitting him
I'd work one Of the plantations, owned
by a Mr.. Cox near Baton Rouge.
On the day of his death he met
William 7. Cox, young son of the
planter, whom he charged with being
indebted to him, and attempted to
take by force team the boy was
then driving, and upon the boys
resisting, he assaulted him. Young
Cox retreated a short distance, fol
lowed by Cluff, when, upon Cluf
turning back toward the team, the
boy drew pistol and fired, killing
him instantly. Young Cox was tried,
and the homicide was declared to be
justifable. The defendants there
upon moved to dismiss the complaint.
The plaintiffs counsel contended
that, according to the laws of this
State, the taking of Cuffs life was
not an excusable or justifable homi-
eide, and that, therefore, the Com
pany should pay.
The Court stated that such ruling
would be premium upon violence.
The motion was granted.-N Y.

worn over dress of gray poplin. The "Made

goats 's-hair cloth, trimmed with blue velvet,
and the Adelaide" dress, composed of two
shades of green satin. OF basques and jackets
such profuson Of styles WAS exhibited that
it is almost impossible to select any particular
