THE supreme court has rendered the
following decision liz the New Jersey
Mutual Life insurance company vs..

seeks to avoid the payment of policy
on the ground that certain answers
made 10y the Insured a, the date of the
issued policy were untrue. The court
find no evidence that the policy con-
tanned any agreement that the state
ment of the applicant should express
warranty or that they should have any
effect whatever, or that the application

ance company or that the policy WAS
based on the application. Ii is further
found that the agent undertook to in

AUSTRIA finds herself compelled to
interfere in the southwark march of
the legions of Russia. She plants her
self upon the line aud calls upon the
other powers who were parties to the
famous tripartite treaty of 1856. to
come forward in compliance with its
terms, to drive the hordes of Russia
back to their frozen magni6oence in the
north. England dare not turn deaf
ear to the call. She is already putting
herself in a position to answer it in an
effective way, by strengthening her
force at Malta, and sending her won
derful navy into Turkish waters. Ii
Is an ominous circumstance that France,
the third party to the treaty referred
to, IS not called upon or expected to do
anything, because she has her hands
full in watching, and preparing to take
advantage OF any complication which
might give her momentary aavan-
tage over her subjugator Prussia. War
and rumors of war are waited on every
gale which sweeps over the broad At
iantic to our western shores.

Texas and Pacif , railroad matter. The

Central Pacific road, are bitterly OPP
