A very singular termination has just
been reached in a st. Louis Court, in a
case where a Mrs. Kerrigan, having been
injured by being run over by q car of the
St. Louis Railroad Company, and dying
of her injuries, the husband sued the COM
pany, claiming a large amount of damages
for the loss of his better half. During the
progress of the trial in Judge Moody's
Court, on Saturday, it was proved that at
the time of her death Mrs. Kerrigan had
a husband besides the plaintif-that, in
fact, the plaintiff was not her legal hus-
band, and therefore not entitled to dam
ages for her loss. Verdict for the defend

The prospects of the peach crops at the
East are very dismal. Nearly all the buds
are killed in New Jersey. North of Bur-
lington, and south of that, only a few
scattering ones are alive upon any varie-
ties, except Holes Early, which appears
to have been less liable to kill than other
sorts. In Delaware and Maryland there
may be one-third of the buds alive. They
are reported less injured along the south
shore of Lake Ontario, than anywhere
else.
A party of three seoundrels, Tom Nor
row, from Logan comfy, KY, and Will
liams and McCulloch, oS Tennessee, on
Tuesday of last week, rode up to the house
of one 0~nsbrook, in Summit sounty, Ten
nessee, called him out and accused him of
informing against them concerning the
robbery of a store, which he denied. Then
Morrow at once shot him with a pistol
four times, once after his wife had thrown
her arms around him. The other men
made no effort to prevent the murder, but
sat on their horses making sport. Ons-
brook lived but a few moments. The de-
ceased wa a good, peaceable citizen, and
leaves a wife and eight children.
The New Orleans Delta gives an ac-
count of a most audacious robbery which
took place near that city last week. Three
men, purporting to be special police Off
GERS, went on board the Atlantic as she
was about leaving her moorings, in search
of e well known horse-trader, who they
charged, had committed a robbery in st.
Louis, and as they showed q warrant for
his arrest signed by Il magistrate, the ira
der suffered himself to be taken along, al
though knowing himself to be entirely in
nocent. Accordingly he was taken from
the boat to the house of a well known cit
izen near by, and was then, in the pres
ence of this man, relieved very deliberate
ly of 5000 in United States Treasury
notes, a check on New York for SO, 900,
and a watch and chain valued at $500. A
memorandum Of these articles was made
in the presence of the citizen, and then
they marched the prisoner away, as they
said, to Jail. After having taken him,
however, a short distance, they began to
maltreat him in a very rough manner,
and on q show of resistance, took to their
heels and LETT. The unfortunate victim
reported at once the matter to the ge nu-
inc police, but thus far the most strenuous
efforts have failed to secure the bold rob
bers.

The rigidity with which American YES
sells in Irish ports are examined for Fe-
mans and Fenian supplies, is shown by the
that a vessel on which the American
Seaman's Friend Society had placed one
Of their libraries for sailors, was boarded
in an Irish port by an English detective,
who insisted upon examining the craft.
Coming upon this library he took down a
book here and there, and finding one
named "Alarming Facts" at once turned
TO the captain and demanded to know who
in charge of the library. Upon being
old, he ordered the sailor under arrest,
md kept him in confinement for twenty
our hours. Then the facts were investi-
rated by higher authority, and the prison.
II was released.
