SENATE.

The army appropriation bill was proceeded
with.
Mr.. Mcdonald offered an amendment to
extend the jurisdiction of the court of claims
to all claims of loyal citizens arising in the
late instruction in any States, and repeating
all discrimination between such claimants,
because of their residence in said States :;
laid on the table.
Mr.. Sherman expressed his surprise that
such proposition should be seriously urged.
1t would deplete the treasury by saddling
upon the country all damages committed by
the union armies during the war and would
repeal the very laws of war by abolishing the
distinctions between rebellious States and
those which were supported by the govern
ment.
Mr.. Sawyer thought it would be better for
the government to recognize these claims,
even though they teok thousand million
from the treasury, rather than incur the dis
grace of such refusal to entertain the honest
claims that loyal southerners would inflict.
After discussion a motion to table the
amendment was rejected % to %.
Mr.. Conkling opposed the amendment and
after further discussion it was agreed that the
vote should be taken upon it tomorrow and
the Senate adjourned.

RESOLVED, That the removal of Drs.
Spooner and Hoppin from the Office of Pen

The last lecture of the course was delivered

last evening, by DR.. Hebbard, who was
greeted with full house. There was a feel
ing of regret at the close that the course was
| completed, but this feeling was relieved some
what by the hope that the Doctor may be in
duced to give another course, or repeat the
one already given. We are sure that these
lectures are doing much good large num-
Der of ladies have been in attendance on
each evening, and they are to be the educa-

esting and instructive. What a man shall
put into his stomach and preserve his health

The Doctor thinks that milk emptings, pota-
to yeast and salaratus, are not the most de-
sirable ingredients in bread making. Hop
yeast is the best, and does not destroy the
wheat taste as the other articles do. Bread
can be made with water and flour alone,
light and wholesome. But if "terbaccer" and

''Autumn among the Mountains" is the
title given by Mr.. Wesley Weber of Gardiner
to beautiful oil painting, upon which he has
been at work for number of months. The
Reporter says that this is the largest painting
he has ever executed, and is the best of his
works. The background of the picture is
filled with high hills and mountains, rising
above each other as they recede. In the fore
ground is level land, backed by trees arrayed
in all the beauties of New England autumn,
while at the base of the hill is limpid pool
of water, fed by little rivulet which falls
over high rock into the calm sheet below.
Near the pool of water is rough cabin,
whose occupants may be seen engaging in
household duties. We hardly know which to
praise most in this beautiful picture-the blue
haze around the mountains, the bright, warm
sky, or the clearness of the still water as it
sparkles from under the high hills and trees
that surround it. All parts of the painting
bear testimony to the genius and labor of MIR.
Weber, and we trust he may find an ap-
preciative purchaser for this his best work.
The painting may be seen for short time at
the store in Swift Bowman's Block, recent
iy occupied by B. Lawrence & Son, where a
large number Of ladies and gentlemen have
already visited it. 1t will amply repay all
who love to look upon fine work OF art to
spend a short time with "Autumn among the
Mountains"

At the last regular meeting of the Law
Club, the case presented these facts A
policy of insurance on building expired at
II noon, of a certain day, and had not been
reinsured. At 10 minutes before IL the build
ing took fire, and at II o'clock the damage
was estimated at $4,000. The fire con-
tinuing reduced the building to ashes. Is the
Insurance Company liable for the whole loss,
or only for such part of it as occurred before
~ o'clock?
Mr.. w. S. Choate argued that they were
responsible for the whole loss, as the efficient
cause was in operation before the policy ex-
pired, and the building at II o'clock was
worthless with such fire raging in it. Mr..
II. S. Webster argued that insurers are liable
only for damage which occurs within the time
of the policy, that at II o'clock it was not
certain that the building would be destroyed.
and If it had been, as it was not in fact des-
troyed at that time, plaintiff could not recover.
The decision of the case is to he given by
Mr.. Orville d. Baker.
