A Philadelphia Vessel the Oldest AnOat

The .Truelove is the name of the oldest
vessel now ahoat. She was built in Phlla-
delphia in 1894, and is consequently one
hundred and six years old. The vessel
was built originally fot the merchant trade
but during the Revolution was used as a
priyateer. She was captured by British
war vessel in 1850, and was purchased from
the British government by pNrties in Hull,
England, from which port she now halls
She WAS employed in the wine trade be-
tween Oporto and Hull until 1854, when
she was employed in whaling. AS whaler
sha was exposed to many yicissitudes.
Tie Trueove, in 1880, formed part Of q
heet n Melville Bay, when twenty strong
,e-se.s were lost and twelve others
were seriously injured by the ice. This
vessel, on account of her peculiar build,
was able to stand the ice much better than
some other and stronger ones. When ex-
posed TO heavy squeeze between large
masses of ice she would be raised to the
surface, where she would rem in until the
pressure was relieved, when she would
again sink into the water. On one oeca-
SIGN this vessel lay on the ice in this man
ner for six weeks in Melville Bay. The
Truoloye has made eighty voyages to Green
land and Davis Strait. During all the
time that she has been engaged as wba-
Ter, she has carried oil from some three or
four hundred whales, and besides this has
been laden with seals and other Arctic pro-
ducts. Since 1867 she has been employed
in carrying ice from Norway to the Eng
fish market. She is said to be in as coed
a condition now as ever, and is still hard

An Extraordinary SANDER Suit.

Miss Della W. Moore, formerly teacher
in one of the primary schools in New York,
brought a suit before the Superior Court in
that city, on Thursday, against one John
II. Bornell, a young man, laying her dam
ages at SO, 900. She charges that, in JAN
usry, 1868, Bonnell circulated a report that
he was married to her, and that they had
lived together. When apprised of this Miss
Moore at once sent for Bonnell who declar-
ed that he was sorry for what he had said,
and voluntarily made an AFFIDAVIT. before a
notary that he was not married to her, and
that his previous remarks were untrue. She
then forgave him and let the matter drop.
Soon after, the SANDER, as Miss Moore calls
it, was repeated and when it came to the
ears of the principal of her school she WAS
forced to resign her position, which was
worth S70O or $500 year. Mr.. Bonnell,
in defense, produces the records of st.
Pauls Methodist Episcopal Church of New
York, upon which 1t is shown that he was
married to the plaintiff by the late DR..
McClint0ek November 26, 1864. lie stat os
that last January he made the remarks in
question when informed that Miss Moore
was about to be- married, and he contends
that he did not exceed his lawful rights az a
husband, even if he used the obnoxious
words he is accused of. There is evidently
some mistake here Just where it exists
the trial of the case may make plain, but at
present more distressing tangle was never
brought before court for abjugation.

DOES THE WANT OF \ STAMr YIrINrE
A CoNTRACr.-A very interesting case
was tried in the Supreme Court in
New York a few days ago, in which
one of the principal questions raised
was to the effect OF emitting to pot an
Internal Revenue stamp OH written
contract. The contract was for a.
600 pounds Of brass, and consisted of 4
letter making the offer for it, and a
telegram accepting the olier. There
was no stamp on either. Mr.. William
N. Evarts, who appeared for the de-
fense, objected to the Introduction OF
the letter and telegram. constituting
the contract, on the ground that, being
unstamped. the contract, under the In
ternal Revenue law, was void. ES-
Judge Fullerton, counsel for the plain
tiff, produced authorities to establish
that the omission to put stamps Oh Il
contract would render it void, unless
It was made ,riM he iRteation 10 de-
fraud the Government. He then placed
the agent of the plaintiffs. who sent
the telegram, on the stand, and he
swore that there was no intention to
defraud the Government in omitting
the stamp. Mr.. Fullerton next placed
a stamp on the letter, and anothe; on
the telegram, and cancelled them
and Judge Brady, before whom the
trial took place. then admitted them
as evidence. The Jury returned q ver-
diet for the plaintiffs, for the full
amount claimed. !

The Petersburg Val papers relate
the following registration incident:
An aged colorcd man came up to the
voting place upon crutolnes, seemingly
with great difficulty. The prescribed
formula, SHOW old are you:" was
asked, when the old man was thrown
into much perpleNity. Recovering
himself, however, he muttered In an
undertone, which was overheard:
"Well, how ole is my ole massa?" 2"
It 80 happened that gentlemln was
standing by, well acquainted with
him, who promptly answered:
"Your old master is about fifty-five
years Of age.

In Bethel VT, on Wednesday, a little boy
of five years, while at play on the highway
bridge which spans the deep stream passing
through the village, fell into the water. Fifty
feet below the bridge the water pours over a
high dam amoug the rocks and snags below,
tumbles along for another hundred feet, leaps
q second dam higher than the first, and sweeps
down under and beyond the railroad bridge
for two hundred yards perfect cataract. A
young man of Is years, named Edward Burn
EFT, who stood near, saw the child fall, and at
once divestng himself of his coat and boots,
plunged boldly into the river. He reached
the drowning child, clasped him in his arms,
raised the little fellows head from the water
and turned shoreward, when the current took
them over the first dam into the foaming vor-
tex below. For the space of a minute and half
the Mortified spectators lost sight Of the hero
ic young man. AT last, when hope had nearly
fed, young Burnett was seen drawing himself
out of the water by some bushes, fifty rods
below the lower dam, bruised, but not danger
ously injured. The body of the child had not
been recovered at last accounts. Young
Burnetts heroism is the theme of universal
praise in Bethel, the. opinion being general
that not one in hundred could pass down
that jagged torrent bed and come out alive.
Burnett says he was conscious all the time,
and saved himself by holding his breath.
