A strange insurance case was

A strange insurance case was
on trial last week in Fonda. A
Mr.. Minch insured his wife for g.
900. She was examined and
pronounced sound. Soon after
she died from cancer. The life
insurance company paid the claim,
but afterward discovered that the
woman had the cancer when in
sured. They sued to recover the
81, ZOO, charging Minch Snd the
physician with fraud. The case
has been tried twice. If the CON-
pany loses, it will have to pay
nearly the amount of the policy in
costs.

The Case Of Fitz-John Porter,

EItz John Porter career, up to the time
of his court martial, was successful one
lie was repeatedly brevetted and promot-
ed tor gallantry during the Mexican War
lie was afterwards detailed as an instruc-
tor at West Point. He rose RAPIDLY in
rank during the first two years of the late
War, and was Breyet Brigadler in the reg
ular army and Major-General of volunteers
when he was cashlered. This record. hon
orable as it is, should not shield him from
blame, If the charges against him were
true, but it should create a presumption in
his favor. The case against him, which he
wishes reheard. is in briet, this: He was
an ardent friend of Mcclellan. and conse
quently not friend of Pope. After the
execution of the Peninsula he was under
Pope's command, and, as alleged, disobey-
ed his orders. Formal charges were pre
ferred against him, and he was relieved.
At Mcclellan S request he was reinstated.
He did good service during the Maryland
campaign, but was afterwards tried, and
was cashiered Jan. q, 1868, for disobedi-
ence of order.
He asks for rehearing on the ground
that the trial was during period of great
popular excitement; that the court was

Confederate officers, then inaccessible, will
show that his course was justifable. The
last point, it found to be well taken is suff-
Gent in itself. And it seems to be well
taken. He was charged with dlsobeyiug
two orders. The first, sent to Mcdowell
jointly with him, directed that it should
not be carried out if any considerable ad-
vantages were to be gained by departing
from it. Both Generals disregarded it,
as they nadia right to do, and by their dis
regard saved Pope's scattered army from
an attack by the whole force under Lee.
The second order directed Porter to ad-
vance on Jackson's exposed flank 1t is
claimed that it was then too late to d.
any thing 1.-THE order was sent at 80 pm.
and that, instead of 'Jackson's exposed
flank, Lee and Longstreet confronted Por
