INTERNAL REVENUE LAw.-The U. 5.
Circuit Court for West Virginia, Chief
Justice Chase presiding, has recently
decided that under the Internal Revenue
Law of 1864, receipts for freight on
goods delivered to q railroad company
for transportation, are inland bills of
ladiug and are not subject to a stamp
duty. It was further held that in the
case of an employee Of a railroad COM
pany issuing ~unstamped papers contrary
to law, the corporation should be in
dicted for an attempt to violate the
statute, and not the clerk.

ToucHIyG INSTANCE OF CHILDISH DE-
vorIoS.-Three children in New Bruins.
wick got astray recently. One was
about six years of age, the others four
and three. 1t was a wild region and in
wild weather, and at the edge Of night.
From signs, it seems that the six-ycar
old seon felt sure that there was no
hope Of their being found, or finding
themselves that night, and so it took
measures at once for the safe keeping Of
its little ones. Putting them into the
most sheltered nook it could find, it
then stripped away most Of its OWE gar
ments TO put or them, and set out to
gather dry seaweed and brush to cover
them up to defend them. Quite a guam
tity Of this lad been gathered and piled
about the babes into a sort Of nest, and
there they lay when the people found
them still alive ; but the six-year old
and martyr lay out on the shore
dead Of the cold-lsy beside the last
pile Of brush it had been able 10 gather,
but was not able to bring it. rgzs
