A Singular Mania.

1t is difficult to account for the pro-
ceedings of a " "fre-bug named Al
fred e. Jewell, recently arrested after a
long Incendiary career at Railway, N.
.. This person was church member,
and seemed good sort of man without
any sort of harm in him. He sang in
the choir, and was liked by all. Mean
while for period of years houses and
barns in the vicinity were burning down
under circumstances which could not he
the result of accident. Insurance com
panles declined to insure Structures
menaced with such mysterious peril.
Tramps and suspicious persons OF all
sorts were kept under strict espionage.
even sometimes arrested and "held TO
answer this, that or the other arraien-
ment, but the source of the fires were
undiscovered. They still occurred with
undlminished frequency. Sometimes
these lncendiary attempts failed, and
shavings saturated with petroleum and
partially burned were discovered near
buildings the destruction of which had
been attempted. A watch was at length
set, and in the still hours preceding the
dawn lurking figure was observed To
stealthily approach the building in which
the watchman was concealed. After due
circumspection, and finding the coast
apparently clear, he unfolded his fire
bug wings and touched off his little pe-
troleum torch against the weather
boards of the barn. At the same in

and put him upon the line of immediate
and terrified fight, which was, however,
quickly intercepted, and the man was
lugged away to Jail, and of course to the
speedy and certain chastisement which
infallibly awaits offenders in New Jer-
sey. Thus far no sufficient motive for
for these incendiary acts has been shown.
He did not own any of the buildings, and
therefore he could not hope to
obtain from their destruction any part of
the insurance money. Some of them
again were not insured owing to the un-
Willingness of the companies to incur
such dangerous risks. Nor does he
seem to have had cause of enmity against
those whose property he destroyed

Sunday Travelling.

A decision under Sunday law has
recently been made by the supreme
court of Vermont in the case of johnson
against town of Warburgh. A statute
OF that State provides as follows: " No
person shall travel on the Sabbath OF
first day of the week, except from neces.
sity or charity" In the case cited the
court held that "one travelling upon the
Sabbath without excuse cannot maintain
an action against the town for any dam
age. he may suffer Though defects in its
highways" ..O..
This judgment is in harmony with
Maine and Massachusetts, decisions, but
in other States different rule has pre-.
vailed. In Wisconsin the plaintiff in
the case of Sutton against Wauwatosa
drove his cattle to market on Sunday,
and they were injured by the breaking
of defendants bridge. 1t was held that
damages could be recovered, the CHIEF
Justice of the State saying in his opinion
"The cases may be summed up and
the result stated generally to be the
aflirmance of two very just and plain
principles of law as applicable to civil
actions of this nature, namely: First,
that one party to the action, when called
upon to answer for the consequences OF
his own wrongful act done to the other,
cannot allege or reply the separate OF
distinct wrongful act of the other done
not to himself nor to his injury, and not
necessarily connected with or leading to,
or causing or producing the wrongful
act complained of and secondly, that
the fault, want of due care or negligence
on the part of the plaintiff which will
preclude recovery for injury complained
of, rs contributing to it, must be some
act or conduct of the plaintiff having the
relation to that injury of cause to the
effect produced by it"
In the Vermont case the court re-
viewed the Wisconsin case; and answered d
in the negative the following question
" Was the town under legal liability to
furnish the plaintiff safe highway to
travel on at time when he was by law
forbidden to travel on it 2"
