AT different times the LEDGER hai
published an account of the loss of
boy named Bruce Brown who, Decem
Der a year ago, left the house of hii
mother at Forrest Hill, in this county
and has never returned. The Centre
vile Pionser, of the 22i, has the follow
ing:
Last week an article from the Mem
phis LEDGER appeared in our paper in
regard to a missing boy Of Mrs, l. c.
Brown, named Bruce, Of Forest Hill
Shelby county, who left home last No
vember and had not since been heard
from. Iua day or two after the paper
went out one Of our readers, Mr.. T. ",
Easley, came in and told Us that last
September q boy appeared in Gray's
Bend in this county, where Mr.. Il. lives,
and called at bis houee, aud that night
staid at Mr.. John Nicks' in the neighbor.
hood. He said the boy was aged about
fourteen years, and exactly suited the
description given 10 the paper; was a;
ragged as could be; in fact be hardly
had on any clothes; asked for work;
said his name was Bruce Brown,
and that be was on bis way to
Nashville. The same day we were
stopped on the street and told the same
thing by Mr.. Nicks, who also said he
gave the boy a pair OF pants belonging
to one Of his own CHILDREN. Now the
only thing in the world that remains in
doubt or uncertainty as to his identity, is
that he Is reported to have left home in
November, while the boy we refer to was
seen here in September; however we
suppose there must have been a mistake
about the time. made by the LEDGER;
and we sincerely hope that Bruce may
yet be found, if he has not been ere this.
Any further information about the miss.
ing boy would doubtless be greatly appre.
ciated by the mother, who Is at TullahO.

THE ADxIRALrY CASES.

The Questions of Bar Lenses, InsuR-
auce, n Otner Contracts, aa Ne
lated 30 Maratims LlenH-Ne Sc
cisiOn.
Further argument wal made yesterday
in the insurance cases in the United
States Court before Judge Trigg. the
opening address coming from Mr.. W. K.
Poston. This gentleman eontended that
the court had heretofore decided the
question Of C. o. d. claims adversely
to the libellants, who had shipped under
such contracts; that the decision had
been affirmed 10 the Circuit Court, and
maintained that upon principle that de-
eision was right, aud hoped the court
would consider itself bound by it. He
attacked the bar leases, and read author
ity 10 show that the insurance claims Of
the steamers Cheek, Illinois and White
should be allowed. Judge Tom W. Brown
followed and strongly urged that bar
leases were in no sense Necessary to
commerce, aud must be excluded. he
claimed that, unlike some other libel
lants, his client had brought his amended
libel both against the boat and the own.
ers; aud commended that in any event,
even if the court shoald decide that
there was no lien entorcible in rem.
in his favor, still he was entitled
to judgment, and to come in
upon the funds in court. He main
tanned that the accounts we're made out
by Mr.. Karr, his client, against the
boats and. whatever might be urged to
the contrary, the contract was made, so
far as his client was concerned. with the
boats. BE would not touch upon the
C. 0. DIS bills, as they had been fully
argued, but could see no reason why in
surauee should be deemed a maritime
lien. Judge Brown was understood to
maintain that maritime contacts should
be followed by maritime liens, and that
the State lien was in effect a maritime
lien. He was followed by Mr.. Paterson
who represented two Of the bar leases,
and who read authority on that side.
District Attorney Murray maintained
that the question before the court was
whether the libellants had sold supplies
to the vessels upon the credit Of the
boat, or upon that Of their owners. Ia
the home port the law presumes hat the
articles we're sold to the owners, and it
devolved upon thoSe suing the boat to
prove that the contract q made with
the boat aud not with the owners. He
insisted that as to a large number Of the
claims the proof aud facts showed cor-
clusively that the credit was given to the
owners, and not to the boats; and hence
these libellAnts and interveners we're o0t
of court. Mr. D. N, Scales followd ia a
short speech Other speeches were made
and Judge Trigg has the case under ad.
visemeut.

United States Court asking o decree Of

a bill to make Shelby county responsible

The demurrer fled by the county Of
Shelby to this suit was sustained, aud
the bill dismissed during the present
term of the United States Court. Since
then General Pillow, as attorney for said
Tappan, has fled a supplemental bill in
which it is sought to make the first mort
gage bondholders in the Blackburn case
parties to this bill. A rule was made
that said Blackburn and Others show
cause why they should not be made
parties, and the case consolidated. The
status of the question is thus seen, and
entil it is decided nothing can be done
in the way Of securing the Selma railroad
