The following cases closed up the
term of Sessions
The State against Robert Snipe for

The remainder Of the cases in the

four cases were disposed of.
The fist over which a sharp fight
was had. was the case Of Angus Nc
MILAN. who sued John S. Tyler & Co.
for balance of wages due him for
services as Overseer previous to the
war. At the time that the Federal
army came to Beaufort Mcmillan with
the other inhabitants left the islands
for the main land. taking with them
such property as they could carry.
Tyler & Co. claimed that Mcmillan
took valuable horse, carriage and
harness SC, and set up counter
claim. The case was well conducted
on both sides, and the jury found for
defendants balance of S33. 81.
A case made up in the name Of the
State against Mr. Davant, late COM
missioner in equity, being a suit upon
his official bond, was submitted to the
court. but after most of the testimony
had been put, was continued. But the
case which elected most interest Of the
four upon the civil side Of the court,
that were brought up at all, was the
suit Of Miss G.. A. Hamblin, against S.
NJ. Wallace, for breach Of promises
not of marriage, but Of other contracts.
The arguments Of counsel upon the
admission Of testimony, and the exam
iuation of many witnesses consumed
something more than a day and half,
and when the court adjourned at p.
NJ. on Saturday, the jury had just re-
tired. They came in at y O'Clock,
midnight, unable to agree, and mis-
trial was ordered, and the court then
adjourned. The jury stood eleven for
the defendant, and one for plaintiff.

receiving an income of over 800, 600. 900. and
to say that community thus circumstance
cannot succor its own poor and needy, with
out receiving charity from abroad, is abso-
lutely absurd.
Harvard College suffered by the fire to the

ward this it has 800, 1000 good insurance, out

How Many Horses Are There.

The prevalence of the horse disease.
which has so disastrously affected bust
ness in this city and in other parts of
the country during the last two weeks.
makes it of some interest to note how
vast is the capital invested in horses in
this country, which has been placed in
jeopardy by the epidemic. The num-
Der OF the horses in the country has,
more than doubled since 1850, and is.
estimated to have been 100000 in
February last. They are estimated to
have been worth 1868, 7O7, 946, the
average price of each animal being
S73.37. They are owned in the largest
numbers in New York. Texas, Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, and Pennsylva-
country. There are also in the United
States l.276,300 mules, valued at
S., 242, 229. The gross value of the
horses and mules of the whole country
is $7S0,735, 232, compared with S321,--
5626 in oxen and other cattle
1895, 40S, 9S3 in mich cows; $SS,77l,I9T
in sheep, and $l38, 733,S2S in hogs. 1t
will be seen from these figures how Sc
rious an inroad would be made upon
the business of the country, if from any
cause we should be deprived of our
horses permanently or for any length of
time. 1t is fact, in spite of the great
additions that are constantly making to-
the means of general locomotion, that
the demand for horses is rapidly grow
ing in AL parts of the world. The horse
is an indispensable agent in civilization.
Every one has been made to feel how
much discomfort as well as actual loss
is entailed upon the community by the
absence of horses for few days from
their usual work, but it is too early yet.
to ascertain the actual diminution of
number which will result from the dis
ease nowraging. The number of horses
in the country has increased very rap
idly since the close of the war, and for
the past year or longer the price of
horsefesh has been much reduced. If
the result of the epidemic shall be to.
raise the value of good horses for time,
some of the horsemen will not be sorry.

NEWS SUMMARY.
The East.

The investigation into the charges of bribery
in the Philadelphia City Council reveals an
amount of corruption and venality rivaling
that exposed in New York last year.
The Centennial Commission has issued an
address to the people of the United States for
subscriptions to the proposed ten million dol
lar fund The Commission looks to the un-
failing patriotism of the people of every sec
ton to see that each contributes its share of
the expenses, and receives its share of the
benefits of an enterprise in which all are so
deeply interested. 1t urges the formation in
each State and Territory of centennial organi-
cations, which shall in time see that county
organizations are formed, SO that when the
nations are gathered in 1876, each common
wealth can view with pride the contributions
it has made to the national glory.

Immediately suggest itself as one of the

incident to trial of speed between feet

obviated, and the laudable occupation
