INTERESTING INSURANCE DECIsIoN.-The
Supreme Court OF Missouri recently decided a
case involving very important question of law
relating to liability of insurers for property des-
troyed by fire during the late rebellion. The
action was Tor recovery of SIC, 900 On hemp des-
troyed at Glasgow, in that State, while the rebels
were In possession of that place. The court held
the company exempt if the fire was caused by
the directa act Of the rebels or was the result of
their occupation. A new trial was ordered, on
the facts OF which there seems to be no doubt,
and the result was that the decision of the other
court was confirmed. Many cases of similar
nature have arisen in that and other border
States, involving very large sums and this, being
the first decision On these points, win doubtless
interest all, and particularly those companies that
may have policies on property similarly situated.

A Case Of Suspended Animation.
TFrom the Detroit Tribune.

From the Detroit Tribune
week SO ago, the wife of very respecta-
bic mechanic. residing on 18th street, III this
city, died after short illness, and the usual az
engagements were made Tor the funeral services.
One ot the city undertakers, at the request OF
the husband, provided Il very handsome coffin for
the deceased, into which the liteless Remains
were placed, and they were permitted to remain
In Il room. During the ensuing night however,
one ot the watchers, who had heard and read
Oh reports Of cases OF suspended animation, and
being lmbued with curiosity In the premises
decided to ascertain for herself whether there
Was any probability OF truth In such reports. A
favorable opportunity presented itself tur the full
tllnlent OF her schemes, and having satisfied her
self that she was really alone with the corpse
she obtalued small looking glass and lald it
upon the face of the diseased. To her great
surprise there appeared evidences of breathinss
upon the face OF the glass. and she resolved, toi
fear OF deception, to make another test, with
another glass. The operation being repeated the
same signs were manifested, and she revealed
her discoveries to her other watchers. Each In
turn tiled the glass and each had the satisfaction
OF observing precisely what the first had. OF
course, In the morning the whole affair was dis
cussed with the family of the deceased and it
then occurred that long time ago young man
member OF the WOMAN family, had died, and
previous to the burial, the corpse had actually
rolled over upon one side, showed signs Of bite,
and the case was declared to have been one OF
suspended animation by the best modest tes-
timony that could be produced. Under all
these circumstances, it was by the husband
deemed advisable to defer the funeral ceremo-
MES, and accordingly notice was given that the in
terment would not take place at the time pre-
riously announced. The corpse was left in the
coffin several days, and upon the fifth day after
the supposed death, signs of life were SO numer-
Gus that the body was removed to bed where it
gradually became warmer, and finally its pre-
rlous deadly expression forsook it altogether
Ihe ensuing day the woman opened her eyes,
spoke on the third, and she is now in fair way
OF recovery. ..-.s --

A False Assertion.

1t is stated in the wretchcd article that
SO dlsgracelully attempts to blacken the
character. and incite the most vindictive pas.
sions of the populace against the faithful
officer, and laborious and energetic Judge,
r. P Buxton, that "after making Conserva-
tive professions, &c, he had appointed
Callahan, radical enemy. in preference to a
native citizen. These assertions are false.
Judge Buxton has not yet appointed Clerk.
The Board of Commissioners have not yet
gotten through with the Bond; have not
accepted Mr.. Galatians bond nor rejected
it. Judge Buxton has never in his lie pro-
fessed to be Democrat. He was Conserva-
tive, when to be Conservative was consider
ed synonym for traitor" He has always
been Union man. The writer of this COM
munication heard the life of Judge Burton
threatened in April 1865 for his known Con-
sentative principles. His name was placed
upon the Conservative (O ticket in 1868 be-
cause that party knew that to oppose him
would ensure their defeat.

Judge Buxton.

"Not merely party NATTER is the con-
trmacious attack of the Fayetteville Eagle
and the Wilmington Journal; it is a matter
that concerns the whole world; the prlncl-
plcs that are assailed, in the person OF Judge
II. P. Buxton, and those that protect tue
best interests OF mankind at large. A faith
full officer, an upright Judge, and an honor
able christian gentlemen is vlilheti, ana
, held up as an object OF loathln@ ana WIFI
cring contempt, for an unfilnching discharge
of official duty. This thing is done by two
iuurnals I. f the Democratic, so-callcd Con-
scryativc party. What docs this mean
What are we TO infer from this? Does that
marty want to place different SOFT OF men
mon the bench of the Superior Court OF
Nortl, Carolina, that has commanded re-
spect and reverence everywhere? Docs that
party want men for Judges who will truckle
to party spirit, and meanly pander to the
prrjndices of few blatant, Inscriptions
demasogucs Docs that party want men
in power who will do dirty work to secure
lease in Officer" Does that party expect to
ride into popularity over the hodies-eihgy
burnt bodies, and pure principles OF such
high minded, patriotic men as Judge BuX-
ION bO tiCy Noii1 MN WV, "S'-,-S
sworn by the most sacred vows man can
utter to faithfully and impartially admins
ter justice to all men, to pervert the law, to
soil the garments of its sacred majesty with
the scorn of political, moral corruption Of
party spirit? Does the people OF North
| Carolina want partizan Judges Judge
Buxton is philantlropist, he is a true
patriot. he is a son of North Carolina, he
is devoted to her interests and honor, and
so long as he is entrusted with those in
tercsts he will protect them with Jealous
care he will uphold her honor, he will wave
her standard above his head through every
storm of faction. If North Carolina mus
sink to the slough of degradation, if under
the auspices OF corrupt men, her integrity il
to be destroyed, then he, and the like of hin
must first be buried in tie mire of her ruiz
and dishonor May God forbid the catas
trophe. This is matter for order order
loving, law-abiding and justice seeking PEG
pie to consider.
