In the suit Of A. E. Smith, suing the
estate Of tho late Alexander Norton for
services as nurse and housekeeper, > judg-
ment has been rendered in favor Of the
plaintiff in the amount Of the sum claimed,
viz: five thousand dollars, with interest
from judicial demand. The court Oyerruled
the plea Of prescription Of one, three, five
and ten years, saying that it did not under
stand that in the character Of the contract
described, which has NO name in our code,
how prescription can attach while the party
who was to receive the services was still
living. In it's opinion the services were to
cease either ut the death or cure of the
party, and from that time alone the pre-
scriptiOn actually begins to run. The court.
after reviewing the facts elected in the
trial Of the cause, states that it is satisfied
that invaluable services were performed
since the war, and, considering the declara-
tions made by the decedent on many
occasions to confidential friends, OF his in-
tentiOn to remunefnte the plaintiff in q
manner adequate 70 the good and valuable
services rendered him BY her, and consider-
ing further tho sacredness Of such q promise

The evidence in the record shows that
the passage of the Joint resolution n the
act of repeal affected the credit of the
defendants 60 seriously that they were
unable to carry on the work; and that the
failure to complete the canal within tho
time fixed was owing to the unjustifable

The State should not be permitted to

Returned to Him After Many Days

The San Francisco Bulletin tells the fol-
lowing story of early life in California
"Splendid animals, those" remarked
one of our reporters, referring to pair of
massive iron-gray horses, drawing heavy
dray along Front street yesterday.
Eyes," rejoined companion; "they
have majestic appearance, and are valued
at high figure. By the way, observe the
driver closely, that tall, erect old man ;
there is an incident of his life worth hear
ing. He arrived here in 1949, fiat broke,
without relative or friend from whom to
obtain assistance. He Jared indifferently
for year or more, working whenever an
opportunity offered, only managing to
keep about even with the world. In the
spring of 1850, he succeeded in purchasing
a horse and dray, 'on time and fondly
hoped that in couple of years he could pay
for the team, and return to the East with
a moderate pile of gold. His expectations
were not realized, and three years found
him still owing for bis team and in poor
health. While loading some heavy goods
at the wharf, one day in April, 1858, a
young man, an entire stranger, by the by,
came to his assistance. When the loading
was completed the teamster and stranger
repaired to a refreshment saloon and
quenched their thirst; for it was the GUS
tom then, as now, to drink between meals.
The twain subsequently conversed upon
various topics, and became better acquain-
ted with each other. The teamster liked
the honest, cheerful countenanoe of the
stranger, and the latter rather fancied the
hospitality of the drayman. The acquain-
lance ripened into friendship, though
neither knew the antecedents of the other.
A few weeks elapsed when news came to
the Bay city the discovery of valuable pla-
Ger mines in new and hitherto unexplored
district. In the height of the excitement
which followed, the stranger evinced a
desire to seek his fortune in the gold
fields; but an obstacle stared him in the
tace--he lacked the funds necessary to
procure an outfit. In truth his buckskin
wallet was nearly empty. The teamster
came to his rescue, and almost robbed
himself to assist his new-found friend.
The stranger departed for the mines, was
lucky, and at the termination of five years
came to the metropolis with fortune
He hunted up his old friend, the teamster
and proved that he was not ungrateful for
past favors, by giving him the job oil
hauling a quantity of lumber to the lot al
the corner of --th and Folsom streets
presenting him with the elegant mansion
constructed of the lumber; also, the LOT
and comfortable bank account"

The San Domingo Resolution in the
House,

House.
The New York Tribune of Saturday has
the following from its correspondent:
The President said to-day that he did
not think there was any. doubt that the
San Domingo resolutions of Senator Nor
ton would pass--the House. He has con-
versed freely with many members of the
House, and is very confident of the result.
The friends of the proposition say they
can count two-thirds majority in the
House who will vote for the resolutions as
they passed the Senate, and oppose any
change or modification of them. 1t is
reported that General Banks, chairman of
the foreign affairs committee, Gen. Garfield,
and other Republican leaders in the
House, are in favor of amending the
resolutions, but it is not likely that an
opportunity will be given. Those having
charge of the matter will probably en-
deavor to get the resolutions before the
House, which can only be done by two
thirds vote, and this accomplished, day
or two will be given for debate. The
President has already selected the COM
missioners, but declines to make them
public. 1t was reported to-day that, in
order to save time, the President would
avail himself of his constitutional right
and appoint the commissioners in advance
OF the action of the House, and that they
would proceed to the island on Monday
next in the government vessel already pre-
pared for that purpose. This report, how
ever, is found to have no foundation what
ever"
