MARCH CIVIL TERM, 1876, sYMoNDs, j., PRE-
SIDING.
MoNDAY.-In the case of Merrill VS.. Merrill, re-
ported yesterday, the defen1ants counsel files ex-
ceptions to general rulings dnrng the trial. and also
to portion of the charge to the jury
Daniel R. Bush VS.. Isabella Murray and Michael
Murray. This is an action to recover damages aleg-
ed to have been sustained by reason of the defend
ants furnishing the plaintiffs wife with whiskey,
whereby she became intoxicated broke crockery,
furniture, and spent large sum of money. DANA
ges claimed $4,000. The action was brought under
section 80 of the laws of 1874
The defendants denied that they sold the plaintiffs
wife the whskey at this time; and said they never
let her have anything intoxicating but once except
at the request of the husband. They put in testi-
mony tending to show that the wife was in the
habit of purchasing liquor at other places and that
sometimes her husband colored man and sea-
faring man, in the habit of bringing her liquor
when he returned from voyage. Both parties re-
side on Washington street. Verdict for the defend
ants.

II. 3. Cleaves for defendants

UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE CoMPANY.-We
lay before our readers today brief but com
prehcnsive annual statement of the Universal
Life Insurance Company of New York, to
which we call attention. AS will be seen by
reference to it, the com pany had nearly Sc, 900,
600 accumulated assets January /, 1876, an in
crease during the preceding year of over one
million dollars, notwithstanding it had return
ed, we are reliably informed, to it's policy hold
ers or their legal representatives over two mil
lion dollars, and an annual increase of over SO,
00OO
After setting aside an amount sufficient to
meet all actual and contingent liabilities, and a
premium reserve sufficient at 4I per cent in
erest to reinsure all of its risks in force in any
good company, the Universal still has a sur
plus of over $G50,O0O.
This financial exhibit demonstrates the safe.
ty of its low rate of premiums charged, about
20 per cent. less than usually charged by mu-
tual companies. a reduction equivalent to an
annual cash dividend of 25 per cent.
The cheaper the rates consistent with safety
unquestionably the more within the reach of
mass is life insurance. Surplus premiums with
out individual accounting responsibility neces-
sarily tend to extravaganza. The low rates of
the Universal would seem to be n the interest
Of the people.
These special features of the Universal with
its sound and prosperous condition must be a
source of satisfaction to the company's success
full General Agent of this state, NJ L. Stevens,
Esq, of this city, as also to the many policy
holders under his jurisdiction. With this tav-
orable annual exhibit, u would seem to depend
upon Mr.. Stevens to fix the magnitude of his
new business during 1876.

play selected was Sheridan Knowless drama,
"The Wife, play certainly not well adapted
to the Museum company, as it requires, to use
the expression of one familiar with the play,
flour leading men," The play dragged until
the appearance of Mr.. Wheelock in the second
act, and excited no deep interest until the
close of the fourth
MI Wheelock's first appearance provoked
hearty applause, which was renewed eyery
time he stepped upon the stage His Julien
st. Pierre was finished and effective imper-
sonation, admirable throughout, and in the
closing scene of the fourth act rising to great
power. ln that scene, where he compels "Fer-
rado'' (Mr. Waldron) to sign the confession, the
most was made of a very effective situation,
and the audience, wrought up TO high pitch
of excitement, insisted on his appearance be
fore the curtain. His acting certainly justified
his reputation, and gave promise of many fine
representations during his stay here. Did the
play drag even more than it does, it would re-
pay sitting through merely to see the fourth
act.
The "MarianEe' of Miss Miles was very
uneven performance. At times it showed great
power, at other times it was sheer rant. Taken
as whole it was hardly satisfactory per-
formance. The support was in genera. no more
than fair. Mr.. Waldron, however, was very
effective "Ferrado." At times he too ranted
but in the main the impersonation was praise
worthy. La the closing scene Of the fourth act
his playing was especially good and he fairly
divided the honors with Mr.. Wheelock. The
other characters require little mention. 1t
might be objected to Mr.. Snyde, as 'Father
Antonio" that his appearance sayored too
strongly of the church militant, aud that his
moustache set with ill grace upon the lip eccles.
iastical. Mr.. Shorey as LEONARDO showed
emotion in his usualway by breathing hard and
looking up at the chandelier. Mr Calder as
''Bartolo" tried hard to be funny aud failed.
The play will be repeated this evening and
at the matinee tomorrow. The acting of Mr.
Wheelock is alone sufficient to call out big
