FHHLATE THOMAS GRUBB.
ArSival Of tho Body.

The body of the late Thomas Grubb, was
brought to this city last evening, from the
place in Hartford county, Maryland, near
Magnolia, where 1t had been inferred after
an inuuest had been held. At the depo* it
was met by several Of the friends of the
family and taken to Brandywine Hundred,
where he leaves wife and three children.
Mr.. Grubp lived upon q small farm of
about twenty acres in Brandywine Hun
dred, near Shellpot Creek. He was an
Industrious and thrifty man, about fifty five
years of axe. He inherited his estate from
bis father, Curtis Grubb, who was former
Iy sexton Of the Newark Union.
There ia no doubt but that the deceased
was deranged. In conversation with his
SON. law, just before his disappearance,
he seemed much depressed about mouey
matters, and also complained of q pain IN
one Of his limbs. He was continually
exclaiming, "that dog" After bis disap-
pearance, search was made for him and the
last information received by the family was
that q man answering his description had
been seen on the Christiana Bridge, at New
port, asking the way to New Castle, until
they heard of his body being found as
stated, nothing was known of his where

A DtstressIx0 Case Of Poverty.

A gentleman living in quiet portion of
the northwestern section OF the city, was
surprised about ten o'clock one night .
week ago, to hear ring at his front door
bell. But he was still more surprised at
the object presented upon opening the door.
It was q stalwsrt white man, shivering In
the chilly night air, with a raiment that
would have hardly protected him In mild
weather. He asked for shelter and food.
His story was straig ighforward, and told with
an earuestness that caused the listener to
lend patient and attentive ear. He had
a wife and child in the interior Of Pennsyl-
yanis, that he left almost upon the brink of
starvation, and he had come away rather
than endure the realization ofthis terrible
punishment to his own. The gentleman
took the name of the place, and wrote If
such was the case, to parties whom he
knew there. After investigation he received
an answer that such was the case. but 1t
was not now. A relative had arrived during
the abserce of the husband, and searching
out the family had made them comfortable
with his ample means. The husband was
overjoyed at the receipt Of the news, and
has gone home to meet those well and
hearty, whom he left 90 near death.

OBITUAHY.
john TOsCnSessa.

John Townsend is no more; life's ftful
fever, with fts joys and sorrows, Is over
with Uncle John, as bis younger friends al
ways called him. '- '.-,
We have known John Townsend for over
sixteen years, during large part of that
time We have had many opportunities of
obtaining knowledge of him. Few men
there were whose character better stood
the test Of intimate sccqusintsnceship.
man of considerable intelligence, OF great
power of perception, and almost intpittve
ability to measure the worth and ability of
anyone, with whom he was thrown into
contact; these faculties gave color and tone
to bis whole being. If he felt you were
worthy, he treated you - friend; If not
you never became more than . more &C.
quaintaucs. He was man Of unsulied In
tsgrity of broad charity, with heart that
never hardened, aged nor grew cold.
There were combined in his nature great
masculine courage, with the simplicity Of .
babs. Although older than his brother
Samuel, he was entirely overshadowsd BY
him, in all matters of political nature, an
submitted to and was led by him With the
confidence Of q child, ia strong lusty COM
panion. Wherever Samuel was, whether In
convention or county meeting, etc., thound'
ing out his views, In his own peculiar style,
John was there-snd 40 responsive as an
octave Of music to its fellow, he always
chimed In, "That's 30 that's 20 Sam"
Never again will the old Court House in
New Castle lock down upon the two broth
ers standing up for what they conceived to
be right, careless of the odds against them.
The death of John must be . sad blow TO
the great soft heart Of Samuel. Their
affection for each other was remarkable,
indeed enviable, and put one strongly ia
mind Of the Cheerably brothers immortals
lied BY Dickens. One of the old land
marks of the county 10 gone, warming US
that time flies and eternity approaches.
Life like every other blessing derives It's
value from the use We make of it. John
Townsend made good use of life, he was an
intelligent, progressive, and thrifty farmer
an upright, orderly, and patriotic citizen /;
an attached, sincere, and unseldsh friend;
an affectionste and indulgent relative be
we'll performed the duties Of his state IN
life, and we feel he has already obtained
from tho great Master of all bountiful re-
ward.

A Very Interesting Insurance Cas-

A Very Interesting Insurance Case
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The following
cases were argued before the United States
Supreme Court yesterday:
Nos. o1 and 90. The Mutual Life 1nsn-
rance Company of New York, vs.. Anna M.
SNYDER, and the same vs. Lewis W. Snyder.
Error to the Circuit Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania. These were actions
on three policies of insurance on the life OF
Monroe Snyder, of Bethlehem, Pa, for $40,
900 each. The defense was that at the time
of issuing the policies the insurers falsely
stated, in answer to the question: "How
long since he had been attended by a physi-
clan and for what diseases" that he had not
been attended by physician for twenty
wears. It WAS proven In the trial that the
insured, in 1867 (about five years prior to
the insurauce), while unloading slate from
a wagon to q car, fell from the top of the
car to the ground, striking his head in the
fall either against the wagon or the car, so
severely that he laid in an insensible con
dition acopsiderable time, and was attended
bv a physician six times before he was re-
partled as convalescent,a ,and that even at that
time be complained of an unnatural or un-
usual giddiness, and was thought BY the
physician to walk slower than was his won't
Upon this proof the court was asked to
instruct the jury that the policies were rem
dered void by the untrue statement made.
But the chalg ge was as follows
"If the fall upon the head for which Mon
roe Snyd.r was attended by physician was
q severe one, the answer was untrue, and
the verdict should be for the the defendants:
So If the jury found that the attendance OF
the physician was for any disease or injury
within the meaning Of the question the YER
dict should be for the defendants"
It is here urged that the negative reply,
rendered the policy void without the proof
of any further fact, and tnat the charge OF
the court in making the severity OF the hurt
the test of the truth of the answer to the
question was equivalent to leaving 1t to the
iury to determine whether the matter
incurred of was material to the risk. And
this it is contended was not question open
to be tried by jury.
VIM. A. Porter and George W. Biddle for
plaintiffs in error. E. J. Fox and Henry
Green for defendants.
