INTERESTING INSURANCE SUIT,

The case of the Home Fire Insurance Com
pany of New York, against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, which was on trial last
week in New York city, contains several
points of interest to the public. The com
pany Insured a barn and contents on the line
of defendants road, and on a windy day in
October, 1867, four trains of the defendant
passed within fifty feet of the barn. Within
"A few minutes of the time fire broke out
in some straw in the barnyard, which com
municated with and destroyed the barn and
contents. The plaintiff had insured the
same property, and paid the loss to the
owner of the barn, and sued the railroad
company for its negligence.
The defendants claimed, first, that they
did not set fire to the barn; that their en-
gines were of the most improved pattern j;
and, second, that if they did cause the fire,
it was because the straw and ,ther stuff was
scattered neglgently around the barn, and
this should defeat any recovery on the
ground of contributing negligence on the
pat of the owner of the barn; and, finally
that no suit could be brought in the name
of the insurance company for part of the
loss, but that the action must be in the
name of the owner of the barn for his entire
loss. The jury rendered verdict for plain
tiff for the full amount claimed, viz: $4,000.

Minister Jewell was present at the grand
ball given in honor of the Duke and Ouch
ess of Edinburgh in ST. Petersburg, and
describes it as follows in letter to his folks
at home: "At the ball at the palace there
we're $500 guests, 1900 Of whom sat down
to supper at o'clock in the morning, and
600 took their lunch standing. 1t takes
As 900 candles to light this place for such il
ball At this ball there were royal persons
more than ever saw together before, the
Empress Of Russia, Crown Prince and Prin-
cess of Prussia, Prince and Princess Of Wales,
Crown Prince Of Dcnn.ark-the above are
all Of imperial rank: Of royal rank there
were the Duke and Duchess Of E,iinburg
all the Russian Grand Dukes and Dnchesses,
Prince Arthur Of England, and fifteen or
twenty Princes from Asia ami Europe be-
Sides We had separate presentation to
them all previously. They all danced and
mingled with the crowd. The new-married
Duchess of Edinburgh, in whose honor this
ball was given, wore the celebrated Russian
diamond necklace, estimated to be worth
1000, 90. The Empresss' dress was trim
med with solitaire diamond buttons, each
one Of which was worth $4,000 or 100000.
All the imperial ladies wore diamond crowns.
1t is thought there were more diamonds
worn that night than ever before at one
time, as they came from the three empires
of Germany, England and Russia. 1t is OF
no use to try to describe the scene."

NEW YORK.
A DEFAULTER OF TASTE.

New YORK, April 7.-Oliver T. Soaring,
late Secretary Of the Montana Insurance
Company of Brooklyn, who left suddenly for
California several days ago, is defaulter to
the amount of $4,000, expended on works
of art, curiOsities and literary treasures.
They have been turned over to the company,
which will, however, hardly recover more
than halt its loss.

A new luminary has suddenly shone on
the United Stat Senate. He is from the
home of the poor but honest miners in Ne
vada, and his name is Jones. There is not
much in the name of Jones, bnt judging
from the first speech of Senator Jones on
the subject Of imitation, there appears to be
great deal of good stuff in the man. He
said very many good things in the course Of
currency, instead of being the spade of
the husbandman, is the dice of the gambler"
This is sound Granger doctrine. 1t is a
financial sermon and an epic poem on Jay
Cooke, and will crowd in among the wise
saws and modern instances of the time. Go
on, Mister Jones from Nevada.-St. Louis Rep

One of the bOldest robberies of the times
was lately frustrated in Brooklyn, New York.
It was nothing less than stealing canal
boat loaded with $4,000 worth of wheat
The captain Of the boat went to the theatre
with his family and left boat-hand to
watch the cargo, which was awaiting ship
ment to Europe. The hand hired tug and
had the boat towsd away to some secnrer
spot. Here the pirate was joined by four
other men with sacks, and the five COM
menced the work Of transferring the cargo
into the sacks. A stray policemen saw the
men working very hard at an all-night job
in an out-ofthe-way place, and suspected
something wrong. He went to the station
house for force, and after desperate re.
sistance all five of the men were captured

containing II 900 pounds of wheat, and had

were recognized as noted robbers and dan

Bald Mountain Shaken ia Answer
Pos v Owensby's Prayer.

According to the statement Of Miles Hig-
gins to the correspondent of the Raleigh
News, the Bald Mountain earthquake was an
answer to prayers sent up by fervent
Baptist preacher. Mr.. Higgins is thus re-
ported:
.'lt was about three days before the first
shock that notice was sent over the noun
tain that Rev. Posey Owensby, a sort of a
Baptist preacher that lived on the noun
tain, would commence revival of religion
at the schOOlhOuse on IA certain night. He
came, but met only slim congregation.
He kept up his revival three days and
nights without getting up the slightest ex-
element. On the night of the 9th OF
February he made long and fervent
prayer, in which he said: 80 Lord, for
three days and nights hath Thy servant
| endeavored in vain to move the strong
hearts of this wicked people. Now, We
beseech Til &c, that Thou wouldst, i'll Thy
great and omnipotent power, cause the
mountain to shake and tremble beneath
their feet, that they might be brought t" a
consciousness Of Thy power and wrath"
etc., etc. The people still remained I'M
moved, but at the hour of ten o'clock next
day the mountains shook and tremhled be-
meath the feet Of the people. The Reverend
Posey was at work clearing up new ground
Hnrrying to the house he told the old
woman to make all possible speed for an I'M
mediate evacuation. When the sun rose
next morning Bald Mountain was far i'll
Posey's rear.

Academy of Music.

There wa. remarkably large and fash
ionable audience assembled at this theatre
last evening, on the occasion of Miss LeOna
Dare's benefit. The fair beneficiary was
even more attractive and daring than syer ;
her perilous feats causing many of the lady
members of the audience to close their eyes
or turn away their heads during parts OF
the performance. Upon her descent to the
stage, the gathering storm Of applause burst
in all its fury, and fairly poured shower Of
flowers upon the young performer, who was
again called before the curtain. Her bene-
fit was decidedly success, and in fact per
feet ovation.
The rest of the entertainment was like
wise very interesting aud amusing. In the
play of Skmmerhorn's Boy, that meek and
unassuming individual, Billy Gray, excited
the risibles of his hearers with effective farce
and sustained his reputation Of being care
full and pains-takng actor Of the burnt cork
school.
Miss Mile Freidenbergh, whose natural
grace and unaffected manner never fails to
place her in the good graces Of the audience,
also made favorable impression. c, nsid
cred from every point of view, last evening
was happy occasion at the Academy.

sition. 1t is advertised as being drawn
by sixty Rail Road Cars, and the number
of men, horses and animals is said to
reach one thousand. 1t is one of the
largest combinations in the United States.
The Menagerie is very extensive, embrac-
ing Lions, Tigers, Camels, Elephants, a
large Sea Lion and numerous other rare
curioslties of the animal kingdom. Their
Circus and gymnastic performances are
exceptionally good. They have in their
employ a clown who is world renowned

The Great New York and New
Orleans Geological and Eeues-
trim Exposition.

The grand aggregation of Geological
arenic wonders will appear in our city for
two performances only, on Saturday Au.
gust 18th. II will be remembered that
last season it achieved a most brilliant
success, being the only institution of such
magnitude that ever crossed the continent
to the far off shores of California, where
it met with a perfect ovation wherever il
appeared-This is always an evidence Of
the merits of an exhibition of this charac>
ter. But since last sumnler its proper
lions have beer enlarged to gigantic di,
mentions.
1t now requires one>third more cars to
transport tit has one.third more dens
of animals-spreads hundreds of feet more
canvass, and a grand triple circus company.
The business thus far this season has in,
creased in proportion as to its magnitude,
and the success OF great establishment
is assured.
We append the following hearty and
cheerful endorsement from a valuable
st. Louis Exchange at is the most ei-
gantic affair of the age, having an immense
oblong tent for the arena, and others
much larger than heretofore have been
used by similar institutions. II com.

attractive curiosities of an aquarium ; the
principal feature of which is the monster

men Ct its class, astonishing all beholders
as a representative of the wonders Of the
great deep.
The thousands of pleasing attractions of
its many departments will greatly amuse,
instruct and benefit the public taste for a
moral show, and WILL at once display the
wonderful accomplishments Of genius and
art.
The N. Y. & N. O's., Exposition is one
OF the latest show triumphs in which the
splendors Of the middle ages are equalled
If not eclipsed. The genius, tact and
excellent management of its Proprietors
stamps them already at the monarchs
among the showmen Of the present day,
and we doubt if there are any who can
dispute the palm With them on the con-
tinent. A larger list of artists, male and
female, were never exhibited for one price
OF admission, and a more costly mounting
for a circus has never been seen, while a
better selection Of animals and curiosities
cannot be found on the globe. Remember
the day and date. Saturday August 18th.
