The LONGEST DAY.-It seems like but
few days ago that we announced to
our readers the shortest day of the year,
the period when the sun had arrived at
its southern limit, 234 degrees south OF
the equator, yet already tomorrow we
we will have the longest duration OF
daylight within the year, the sun then
being vertical over the tropic OF Cancer,
the most northerly parallel OF latitude
at which it is vertical, and giving us the
longest day in the year in the northern
hemisphere-l5 hours and 4 minutes.
On this day the summer solistice really
commences. There will now hardly be
a perceptible difference in the length OF
the days for some time. Each season
is 81 days, when the sun is farthest
from us and nearest to the tropic OF
Capricorn in the southern hemisphere.

FIRE LAST } NIGHT.
.Lynns Foundry Destroyed
The Work Of Incendiaries.
THE LOSS ABOUT 100000.
Partially Covered by Insurance

Last night about halfpast nine
o'clock an alarm of fire was given,
caused by tho burning Of the Island
Foundry. owned by D. Lynn & Co., and
located on Zane street, in the Seventh
ward, a short distance from the west end
of the Suspension bridge.
The FIRE had been burning some
fifteen minutes, probably, before the
alarm reached this side Of the river, 90
that, although the engines were on the
ground with most commendable prompt
ness aud did as fine work as ever was
done by firemen, the flames had made
such Roadway before their arrival that
it was impossible to save the foundry
and nothing but its blackened walls
remain.
The fire was confined to the foundry,
the fire department by their successful
combat with the flames preventing them
from reaching the frame building that
Joined it on the east or the stables in
the rear.
Mr.. John Lynn informed US that the
loss will probably reach $4,000 in
buildings, stock, stoves and patterns.
The insurance is estimated at $4,000,
and is held by the West Virginia,
German, Peabody, Andes, Franklin and
other city companies.
The FIRE originated in the finishing
shop, and was, undoubtedly. the work
Of inoendiaries. A woman residing in
the neighborhood, just as she saw the
flames break out, beheld three men
running out Of the large gate on Zane
street. One of them had on light
coat. He ran towards the north end Of
the island. The other two were
dressed in dark clothes. They ran
towards Bridgeport.
This will be heavy news to David
Lynn, the active man OF the firm, who
is at Troy, New York, on business.
We deeply sympathize with our
friends in their loss, and hope to see
their foundry rise phHnix-like from its
ashes

CIRCUIT C0URT.-1 esteTuoy "oi u'HS
the case of Geo. w. Robinson, TO-
keeping gaming table, was called,
Capt. r. n. Cochran appearing on be-
halt of the State, during the illness Of
Prosecuting Good. The defendant filed
40 affidavit to the effect that he was
not ready to go to trial because of the
absence Of some important witnesses,
80 the case was continued until the next
term.
The suit brought by the firm OF
Willets & Co. against Forbes, Collins
&lCraig. of. this city, to recover $1,000,
which had been sent them in the shape
of draftfrom the Wheeling Savings
Institution, and which was lost to the
New York parties because they didn't
draw the money on the draft on receiv-
ing it, was decided in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, the jury deciding, in effect,
that due diligence had not been used
by the New York firm.
As this case has attracted m ore than
usual attention, we give the following
report of the case:
On the 23d day of February, 1871,
A. C.. Quarter, Treasurer Of the
Wheeling Savings Institution, made
his check on the American Exchange
National Bank, in the city OF New
York, payable to the defendants, or
their order, for $1,000, which check was
indorsed by the defendants, in full, to
the plaintiffs. and then Immediately
mailed the same to the plaintiffs, at
New York, their place OF business,
which was received by them on Friday
the oath OF February, between two and
halfpast two o'clock, P. M, and they
having made their deposits for the day,
put this check into their safe, and on
the next day, Saturday about two
o'clock P. NJ, deposited the same in
St. Nicholas National Bank for collec-
ton, and that the same was not pre-
scented for payment at the American
Exchange National Bank until Mon
day, the 9th day OF February, 1871 {;
and the notary testified that it was
not delivered to him. for demand and
protest until after three o'clock OF that
day, and that he made the demand
after the banks had closed, and the
Clerk protested the same for non.pay.
ment, and sent notice of the same to
the defendants on the 28th of Feb.
ruary.
The defendant cited the case of Smith
vs. Miller, 43 New York; report l6l.
The Court (Hon. E. B. Hall presid-
ing) instructed the Jury that the plain
tiffs had not, under these circumstances,
used the diligence required by the law
in collecting the check, to charge the
defendants, unless the Jury would find
that the plaintiffs could excuse their
neglect in not presenting the check for
payment on Saturday, the 25th.
To the instructions given to the de-
PENDANTS the plaintiffs excepted.
The Jury found that the plaintiffs
had made the check their own, and
credited the same on their amount sued
on.
The case may 60 to the Court Of APP
peals on writ of error, where it may
undergo another examination.

PROVED AT LAsr.-That good toned
and lasting piano can be made and sold
at very low price is fully demonstrated
in the Emerson Pianos, which deserve
the statement of their agent in this
city, V. Harding, that they are the best
pianos for the price, and the cheapest
good pianos that are made. Made OF
thoroughly seasoned wood, they will
stand the sudden changes Of our cll-
mate; and the purity and sweetness OF
their tones is something charming to
hear.
All persons desiring the best cheap
piano in the market should not fail to
examine the "Emersons" before pur'
chasing any other kind.

A WONDERFUL P0wER-ln speaking
Of runaway horse that fell down. got
entangled in its harness and made trou;;
bic generally, the Iaselhgener, OF yes-
terday, says:
/, His driver thought the animals Leg
was broken, but upon using the Wnlp,
the horse soon proceeded on Its way
without further trouble.
We reproduce these few lines fol. the
purpose Of calling attention to the won
derful power exerted by that whip upon
the mind of the driver, as well as upon
the legs of the horse. No sooner was
the whip used than the driver changed
his mind and the horse proceeded on
it's way without further trouble" The
condition of that drivers mind, the
condition of that horses leg and all the
other conditions Of the case would have
been TOO terrible to contemplate, put
upon using the whip" all these troubles
melt into thin air and the horse goes
cavortiug and rearing forward. As q
sample of this mixed order Of reporting
things we call our neighbours attention
to the following description Of a fash
ionable bride. He will see that it is
somewhat after his own order OF archi
lecture: She stood before the altar on
her head, a fair wreath OF orange
, blossoms upon her dainty feet, lovely
white satin shoes upon her roseate lips
a couading, happy smile as she gazed
lovingly upon him who stood by her
side. ....
