Murder in CODcOrdia.

The Vidalia Herald of the twenty-eighth
says;
A colored man by the name of Isaac
Lane, living on Omega plantation, in this
parish, on Saturday last was shot and
killed by white man named Joseph Cal
boon. Calhoon, who is a stranger in these
parts, has been engaged in some capacity or
other on the plantation of l.. Il. Field. On
the day of the killing he is reported to have
been In the town OF Trinity, i'll the parish of
CatahOula, and returned somewhat under
the influence OF liquor to the Omega planta-
ton, and there got into q quarrel and fight
with one Sam Jerdon, brother-in-law of
the murdered man. Lane, who was pres
ent, urged his brother, who was inclined to
retreat, to stand up like man and fight
CalhOon. There was present a white man
by the name of Barney, who at this juno
ture of affairs went into house for gun
When he returned Calhoon told him to
shoot Lane, or give him the gun and he
would. Barney handed it to him and he
did shoot, killing Lane almost instantly
CalhoOn was held by the people on the
place until a constable arrived with war
rant
There seems to have been good deal of
excitement, and a great flourish of arms
Two white men Whose names we withhold
for prudential reasons) persuaded all par
ules 10 give up unelF arms, Wnlcn was done.
Afterward they furnished Calhoon with a
pistol, and on the road to the magistrate,
got in a position between the guard and the
prisoner, gave the horse he rode a cut, and
before the guard could collect from their
establishment at the boldness of the act,
Calhoon was away and out of reach. He is
reported to have sought shelter in Cata-
hOula-a safe refuge for all outlaws. The
persons who gave the above particulars say
that it is the customary pleasure of certain
young white desperadoes living in and near
the town of Trinity, and in the borders of
Concordia, to beat and maltreat every col
cred man that is caught in isolated situa-
tons; that Calhoon and those who assisted
in his escape belonged to the gang. Whether
this be true or not, one thing is certain,
many colored people, after the present crop
is gathered, propose leaving the vicinity of
these outrages, and seeking labor on the
river plantations.

THE foll5wiog decision OF the Su-

ing Insurance policies as collateral sc
curity, is Important both to borrowers
and lenders
The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
Mr.. Justice Read delivering the opin.

lowing condition in policy of insur-
auce a,ains; ii is valid and binding,
to wit: That the policy shall not be
assignablc without the consent Of the
company expressed thereon, and that
10 case Of assignment without such
consent, whether Of the whole policy
or Of an interest therein, the liability
of the company in virtue Of said policy
shall thcnceforth cease. In the case
in question the owner Of certain prem
ises, who had insured his property
against fire, transferred his policy
containing the above conditions as
collatel o. FIR money loaned, which
was also secured by judgement can
iessed. After six months the cIsd /
tor transferred the judgement aud the
policy 10 q third party. Neither O.
these assignments were submitted tc
or approved by the insurance compa'
ny. On the expiration OF the frs
year the original owner Of the propcrt,
and insurer made the annual paymsn
for the continuance Of the risk, ant
the buildings having been burnec
down, he com menced sui, to recove
the amounts Of the policy, the debts

assigned, having fret been paid of b,
him. 1t was argued that The pro

Is THE Moon INHABITED The Cornhill
Magazine concludes an article on the habita-
bility of the moon, by saying that "astrono-
mers have long known full certainly that No
foru.s oflife, such as We are familiar with,
can exist upon the moon. They know that il
our satellite has an atmosphere at all, that at
mosphere must be So limited in extent that 70
creatures we are acquainted with could live
in it. They know that size has no oceans,
seas, rivers or lakes, neither clouds or rains,
and that if she had there would be no winds
to wait moisture from place to place, or TO
cause the clouds to drop iatnoss upon tho
lunar fields.
They know, also, that the moons surface is
subjected alternately to cold far more in
tense than that which binds our artic regions
in everlasting frost, and to heat compared
with which the fierce noon Of tropical day is
as the freshness Of a Spring morning. They
search only over the lunar disc for the signs
of volcanic action, feeling we'll assured that
no traces of the existence of living creatures
will ever be detected in that desolste orb"
