concerning the death of a patriot
during the siege of Paris. Soon
after the gates Of Paris were closed
a Prussian regiment was established
at Bougival, and Geographic com
munication was opened with the
headquarters at Versailles. The
wire was repeatedly cut, and the
suspicious of the Prussians fell upon
Francois Dubergne, a gardener,
who was arrested and taken before
a military commission. He admit
ted having cut the wire, and when
asked his reason replied, Because
| am a Frenchman, and your ene-
nv" lie asserted that if he were
released he would do it again, and
was condemned to death. AS he
was generally esteemed by the citi-
zens of Bougival a fund was easily
raised for his ransom, AS soon as
he heard of the endeayor to save
his life he repeated that it was use
less, as the next day he would cut
a wire. He was duly executed, and
fell pierced with eighteen balls.
His former townsmen have determ-
ined to perpetuate his memory by
the erection of a monument.

Decision was rendered recently
by the Supreme Court, General
Term, in the case Of Henry B. Todd
against Sidney f. Shelbourne,
Judge Daniels writing the opinion.
A note was made by the defendant
for SO, 900, payable in three years,
not as a payment, according to the
finding of the Referee, but in con-
temptation of a settlement which
was never effected. The court finds
that James Cummings, the payee,
would never have enforced the note.
The plaintiff bought it for $500
before it was due, and Judge Dan
iels discusses at considerable length
the question whether the Referees
decision that the full amount of the
note is due to the plaintiff under
these circumstances is valid or not.
He decides that, as the note was
invalid in its inception, all the
holder can recover is the amount
he himself paid, on the principle
that where one of two innocent
parties has given occasion for a loss
he must make it good to the other,

Council Bluffs is just now deliri-
GUS with excitement, consequent
upon a social sensation in the shape
OF a double elopement of lovers of
very tender age, none. of the parties
exceeding eighteen years. The
names of the boys are Willie Hag-
gerty and Johnny Cohoon, but the
names of the girls are withheld,
on account of the hitherto very
prominent positions which they
held in society. The elopement,
it appears, has been under consid-
Grafton by at least one of the
couples for the past three weeks,
and as soon as they fully decided
upon the step, they drew into the
snare the second couple, for COM
pany's sake. One of the girls
managed before leaving home to
possess herself with about seven
hundred dollars belonging to her
mother, and which she drew from
a bank. The young couples crossed
to Omaha and took train to San
Francisco, after having purchased
four through tickets. Steps were
at once taken by their parents to
have the young clippers intercepted,
and they were arrested at Chey-
enne, and in a day Or two will be
returned to the place whence they
started. 1t is hardly probable that
these young people were aware of
the very foolish step they were tax
ing when they left home, and it is
to be hoped the mantle of charity
may be thrown over them, other
wise the future of their lives will be
a blight.
