Life Insurance company of that city to reccyer
sic, coo, the amount OF her husband's life insnr
ance, she alleged in her pleadings that she
paid to Thomas w: Mccoy, agent for the insar-
ance company in Mobile. The answer Of the
company was that McCoy's power as agent rad
been revoked about the time Of the com mence-
ment Of the war, in 1861, and that plaintiff was
duly notified OF the revOca ton, and that couse-
quently any payments she might have made
since that time were of no binding effect upop
the company. Judge Blatchford YESTERDAY de-
cided that the evidence did not sustain the allie
cations Of the company, but also holds that the
plaintiff fails to show that she paid her premium
at the proper date in 1868, or at all in 1854. and
therefore can not recover.

A NOVEL BATH.-One of the therapeutic
novelties In London, recently introduced from
the Continent, consists in the erection of estab-
iishments for administering hot sand baths, as
q remedy for rheumatssm, recent cases of
nervous disorders. affection Of the kidneys, ami
all cases where heat ia wanted as the chief
therapeutic agent The advantages of this
treatment are that 1t does not suppress respira-
ton like the hot water bath, but rather in
creases 1t, and does not interfere with the respi-
ration like the steam bath or Turkish bath.
The body can endure its influence for O much
longer time, and q much higher temperature
can be applied. II can be used for infants. and
permits Of easy application to part or to the

STOCK IN WINTER.-The Rural Home saws
An experienced farmer can tell very quickly
by glancing over his flock of sheep whether any
are cropping, and If they are he will have til EN-
removed to separate yard where they can
have better nursing. Cattle should be FED i'm
such way that the strong one cannot drive the
weak away from their fodder and water. Stock
should always have plenty of clean dry bed
ding to lie upon at night. 1t is perfectly cruel
TO allow live animal to sleep at night upon a
hsrd, cold plank, or upon wet, filthy straw
Dry straw, besides being soft to lie upou. is a
poor conductor of heat, and consequently keeps
within the animal his own heat.

A NEW AND SHRBwD FRAUD-The latest
dodge In the market line is larded corn meal, or
corn meal larded. This new article OF com
merce Is sold for lard, and is composed of about
equal quantities Of genuine lard and fine white

the lard and then add the meal, stirring them
wen together. The compound can be easily
detected by its rough and grainy appearance
The meal IL fully developed when the article ia

The DIR GOODS MARKEr.-There was not
much business done in the New York dry 20 'ds
market last week. The Daily Bulletin says =
The commission houses report trade as very
for the season; their stocks are unprecedentedly
light, and their orders for future delivery are Of
highly satisfactory character, but Invested of
the least speculative tendency. The jobbsrs
have generally completed taking account OF
stock, and as Q rule their accumuations Of
goods are by no means so heavy Is to prevent
their entering the market at an early date as
liberal purchasers. Prices have experienced no
alteration during the week for either cotton or
woollen goods, and the market for both Is IN
questionably strong at ruling quotations, and II
from the interior, where depleted stocks exist,
would have tendency to advance the prices
of cotton goods at least. On the whole, the
prospects for an active spring business are in
every way favorable. Woollen goods and i'm
ported goods were strikingly dull throughout

After desperate fight with the police, McCrory

him. The Jail was succe ssfully broken into
after two or three futile attempts, the sheriff
ana his deputies overpowered in spite of all
their efforts to maintain the Law, and the pris-
oner dragged out of the prison byan infuriated
crowd. They threw . rope around the villain q

to see that life was totally extinct, the crowd
dispersed, leaving tie corpse in its semi-nude

THE GARD OF TRUSTEES CENsURED BY
MEETING OF CoLoRKD CITIZEXs.
At mass meeting of colored citizens at
Israel Church, Capitol Hill, last night, the
chairman, Rev. Charles Keys, stated the object
OF the meeting to be to protest against the late
action Of the colored school trustees towards
the colored preachers who called on the board
to state the objection OF the ministers and their
congregations TO the singing in the colored pub
Tic schools of secular songs by the pupils, dis
tasteful to some Of them; and also to protest
against the action of the board in discharging
pupils frem the schools for refusing TO sing such
Objectionable songs. Even children could not

were arrogant in the extreme. They thought
they knew everything. Mr.. G. F. T. Cook the
superintendent, had said that the colored
preachers Of the District were not enlightened
enough yet awhile to offer suggestions as to the
government Of the schools. Perhaps he would
md out better vet. He then read letters from
tina Warfield, Julia Washington, and Fannie
b George, all teachers, stating tn at pupils had
objected to joining in the singing Of the secular
songs. The chair then offered resolutions CEN
surfing the eolOred school trustees.
Richard Tompkins inquired If the meeting
was public one wherein any one could discuss
the questions submitted, and quite Q commo-
% withdraw If it was NOT such meeting. Mr..
TomFkins said that he was opposed to the reso-
lntions in spirit and letter, and knew of many
Others who were.
