A fathers RIGHTs.-The Supreme
Court has decided case of much interest,
the point decided having never before, we
believe, been raised in that court. Itcame
in the form of q petition by father for the
custody of his child. In the absence of the
father, who follows the sea, the mother
died, and the child, being of tender age and
destitute, was placed in the care of re-
spectacle family in Beverly to be brought
up as their own. When the child was nine
years old the father appeared and endea-
vored to assert his claims. Judge Hoar re-
fused to grant him the custody of the child,
holding, with the concurrence of the other
judges, that where, by mi 'ortune or acct
dent, father has left hi, hid destitute
and dependent upon char and the child
has been permitted to forE. Nrelations in
life SO deep and strong a. TO change its
whole nature and character, the child
should be considered as emaucipated by the
father, and the father cannot assert his
legal right to its custody.-Boston Aduer-
tiSer

INTERESTING INSURANCE DECISION
case of great interest to life insurers has
recently been decided by the general term
Of the Superior Court. A life insurance
company in Maine, in September, 1866,
issued policy for $4,000 upon the life of
a Mr.. Warner, of this city, who represented
at the time of his examination by the medi-
cal officer of the company that he had no
regular physician. Warner died in Febru-
airy, 1867, when it became known that he
had availed himself Of the services of one
doctor for himself and family for several
years, receiving prescriptions from him the
month before his application for life insu-
rance, and also after the policy had been
issued. Under these circumstances the
insurance company refused to pay the claim
of Mr.. Warmers heirs, and upon the trial
of the case before the late Justice Robert
son the position of the defendants was sus-
