] vol, 8vo Beveled boards, red edges. s.
'sWe are shown, step by step. through a
long procession of the ages, the manner in
which the human race, in various lands, at va
rious times, and from widely different materi-
ais, constructed habitations which, however
rude at first, gradually advanced into the
magnificent architecture of later times. We
have the whole story told, aud shown by en-
cravings, from the rude shelter Of primitive
man, the shifting habitations Of nomadic
hordes, the massive grandeur of Egyptian and
Assyrain dwellings, the quaint peculiarities of
those of China the elegant abodes of the cul-
tivated Greek and wealthy Roman, the lordly
castles Of feudal times, and the sumptuons
mansions of the Renaissance. In short. this
is the history of domestic architecture in all
times and nations, and, apart from the knowl-
edge it communicates, win be found as enter
tanning as a romance" I'll Philadelphia Press.

INTERESTING INSURANCE CAsE.-ln the
United States Circuit Court, at Baltimore,
on Saturday week, Judge Giles decided
fire insurance case, in which there are some
interesting points. Rayfeld, Riggin & Co.,
oyster packers, effected insurance in the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
of Delaware, for $500 on frame oyster
packingh house, in Crisfield. Nd One of
the conditions of the policy was that the
assured should comply with the bylaws of
the company, requiring that if the assured
had policy in any other company on the
same property, he should so state in his ap-
plication; and if he effected any addition
al insurance in other companies, it should
be made known to the insuring company,
and its assent thereto be endorsed on the
policy. Plaintiffs subsequently effected in
surance on the same property in the PhG-
nix and in the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance
Companies, and sent notice of the fact to
the secretary of the defendant, but received
no answer. Soon after the property insured
was destroyed by fire. On application being
made, defendant refused to pay the amount
of the policy, claiming that it had been can
celed by the act of plaintiffs in obtaining ad.
ditional insurance without consent. Archi
bald Stirling, Jr., and George III. Chandler
for defendant, argued that the cancellation
took effect Immediately on the additional
insurance, and that no notice was requisite
Of the refusal of the company to endorse OF
the policy. John II. Handy, for plaintiff
urged that the policy was only voidable
and not voided by the additional insurance
that having given notice of the additiona
insurance, plaintiff had fully complied will
the condition of the policy, and that then
was at the option of the company to cance
the policy, or to allow it to remain in force, c
,, which election the defendant was bound t
give notice to the plaintiffs; that having faile
: to give the notice until after the fire ha
! occurred, it was precluded or estoppe
from aviling itself of the provisions of the b!
4 laws, and that the policy continued in force
: Judge Giles decided that the policy wa
> void ipso .tactO by the act of plaintiffs in ol
y tanning additional insurance, and that tn
II cancellation was not necessary. Judgmen
> was therefore rendered for defendant.

Rev. DIR. G. D. CARRow IN TROUBLE
Rev. DR.. G. D. Carrow, prominent Meth
odist minister, and native of this section, is
now filling pulpit in Stroudsburg, near
Philadelphia. At the last session of the
Philadelphia Conference, it may be remem-
bered, certain charges were preferred
against him by Rev. S. NJ. Cooper, also well
known in Smyrna. What the charges
were never fully transpirod, as they were
never published and never fully investiga-
ted to the satisfaction of many. But a
woman was in the question. After con-
ference the charges were repeated by Thos.

phia, and DIR. Carrow had him brought
before q Church tribunal for SANDER The
investigation took place in the Spring
Garden st. NJ. E. Church last week, before
committee of church members, and il
seems that the Doctor failed to sustain the
charge of slander. He and Mr.. Price were
both represented by counsel, and the
Doctors counsel proceeded to show tha
the charges were not true. To this end the
Doctor was put on the stand and sustained
a hard cross examination. Then Mr.. Prize
proceeded 70 show that they were true and

THE Smyrna Loan Association sold two
parcels of real estate on Saturday, to wit:
The John w. Thomas hotel property, at
Clayton, to DR.. Harris, agent for Whortenby,
for slO4. Also the "burnt store" lot, back
of the depot there, to Jos. Smithers, for
$40. These parcels, when bought by
Thomas, he secured $l4O0 from the Loan
Association of which he was a member to
pay for them. In the mean time,
Whortenby gained the title to the land,
when Thomas stopped his dues to the Loan
and moved away to Pennsylvania, two years
ago. He let the whole matter go by
default, after he had paid into the Loan for
over three years, and of course the property
| (what Whortenby didn't claim) reverted tc
the Association, which bought it in al
sheriff sale last summer, at nominal figures
1t is now again sold at nominal figures, al
above, and the Association gets out abou
whole while Whortenby gets the propert!
and Thomas gets out of the State to saw
his bacon what was left of it. So mucl
for the complications that came of tn

quently fails to note, or to care for, what is

what is going on in New York" Not wholly
unlike this was the experience of a "libera

England recently he happened to have som'
theological discussion with lady belonging

agree with her in opinion, she REGARDED

Woodward, who was paymaster of the

Chicago about the time Tweed turned up in

knows. There can be no doubt that he
knows a great deal. He has, it is said, all
of his checks, which were supposed to be
lost, but which somebody has kept for him
during his exile and returned to him last
week. They will make interesting reading,
and it is possible that some people may be
hurt who were not known to be vulnerable
