Court CAlltllQS.

Penelope Jacobs against g. W. G..
Johnston and members of the Board of
improvements. This case came up in
the District Court, and was an action
for writ of command TO be issued by
the Court to compel the defendants to
nav her $1,700 which, she alleges, she has
sustained as damages t0her property by
the opening of Columbia avenue. The
plaintitf also alleges that her claim for
damages was submitted to arbitration by
the defendants and herself, and the sum
of 81, 700 was awarded to her; that the
Board of improvements refused to draw
a warrant on the County Treasurer to
nav the amount. The matter was taken
under advisement by the Court.
Henry M. Peyser has brought a suit
against Dora M. Peyser, to dismiss 8
proceeding on appeal, because notice
was not given at the term at which the
| Judgment was rendered, and the bono
was not filed within thirty days.
The case is now in progress in the
District Court. The suit was tried some
time ago, and is an action to set aside
the marriage of the defendant with MAJ
NJ. Peyser, deceased, on the ground o
fraud on the part of the defendant, ant
of the insanity of Max M. Peyser.
| The Court at that time rendered 9
Judgment against the plaintiff, dismiss
ing the bill. A motion for new tria
was overruled. The plaintiff then gav'
notice of appeal. In introducing th
motion it was contended that the over
ruling was q final judgment.

TIE Board of Directors of McDllcken
University are now appointing the mem
bers of the Faculty. So much, all III
fact. depends upon the initial character
of The institution that too much care and
deliberation can not be given to the sew
eralappointments. We understand that
the professors already selected are East
ern men. This is well, provided they
are superior to any who could be found
in the West. Other things being equal,
the appointments should be from
the West. There is something
peculiar in Eastern men, in their
relations to Western. They cherish,

There Is generally more working capaci

far more inclined to roll uI

be found to whom the preference should
be given. There is danger of persons
being placed in the faculty who thini
more of comfortable place to retire tt
for ease as well as honor, than of assum
ing responsibility with the determine
tion to more than answer all REASONABLY
expectations by industry as student

professorship who does not himself lear
more year by year than any student .
his classes. We hope such faculty vii
be secured as will give the institutio
the great advantage Of a high characte
from the start.
