Principal and Agent.

an Interesting Decision 6y the Supreme Court
of the United States in Insurance case.
In the United States Supreme Court on Mon
day last the following decision was announced {:
No. 156. Southern Life Insurance Company vs..
Mccain. Error to the Circuit Court for Ala
bama.
In this case it is held that where the assured
was not informed of the fact that the agent Of
the company had ceased to be such, and paid
him money, its receipt by him bound the COM
pany. Also, that where the company so received
money without At the time notifying the as
cient under the rules and regulations Of the
company it could not afterward rely upon the
defect. No company, say the Court, can be al
lowed to hold out another as its agent and then
disavow responsibility for his acts After it
has appointed An agent in particular business
parties dealing with him in that business have
right to rely upon the continuance Of his au-
thority until in some way informed of its revo.
cation. To this effect the authorities are nu-
merous, and the law is equally plain that special
instructions, limiting the authority Of general
agent, whose powers would otherwise be cock
tsnsive with the business entrusted to him, must
be communicated to the party with whom he
deals, or the principal will be bound to the same
extent ~ though such special instructions were
not given Were the law otherwise the door
weuld be opened to the commission Of the gross
est frauds Good faith enjoins that the principal
shsuld be held by the acts of one whom he has
publicly clothed with authority to bind him.
Neither is there any doubt Of the law as to the
silence Of the company after the reosipt of the
premium by the agent with its knowledge. Az
frmed. Mr.. Justice Field delivered the OPT nion.
It is a fact we'll established by unquestionnble
testimony that Halls Hair Renewcr rcnews,
cleanses, brightens, invigorates and restores to
it's orisinol color and lustre, faded gray or dis
colored hair. cheaply, quickly and surely. The
poorest people prefer to buy it and use it, rather
than to proclaim in q manner more forcible than
words can delineate, through blanched locks or
grizzly beard, that they are aged and passing to
decay. A very short trial will convince tho
most skeptical that it does eradicate the scalp
diseases which rob the hair of its color and life.

MIR. EDITOR: case of some interest to the
free school public i. pending here. in which the
meaning of the above notice is involved. Tho
facts are briefly as follows: Al meeting of
the Trustees held on the - ult., three persons
applied for the same school /; Of this number
only one had certificate from the present
board. One Of the others had neglected to at
tend the meeting Of tho board, but held a GER
titcate from q former board the other had new
er taught and had no credentials
Under these circumstances number three had
No claims whatever, and so the issue lay between
number one and number two.
While Trustees A and B decided that number
one, having been properly examined, could be
selected, c, in presenting the claims of number
two, eontended that it was unnecessary for q
person who held o Teachers Certificate to be
examined again, but might take the School, and
have the old certificate revised somc .ther time.
The Trustees falling to agree, another meeting
was appointed. At the next meeting one of
them failed to attend, and, of course, the two
could not agree, consequently the school is with
out teacher, and the teachers without school.
Mr.. James has been written to and the Trustees
are awaiting his instructions. We hope, how
ever, he will consider the matter of sufficient
Importance to make public his explanation, as
his decision Will affect other schools and teach.

WAITING FOR CoNPIRNATIoN.-WAsh WAshington,
January 28.-In the Judiciary Committee, to-
day, the case of Mr., Northrop, nominated to be
United States District Attorney for South Caro-.
lima, was discussed briefly, but was laid over at
the request Of Senator Patterson, who wrote
asking that no definite action be taken upon 1t
until he was able again to take his seat in tho
Senate. This he hoped to doin few days, and
IL is inferred that he has given up the trip to
psnnsylyania which he had Contemplated
What has induced him to change his mind II not
known definitely, but II is considered probable
that his action is to some extent influenced by q
report which has been current here for q day or
two past, that Gov. Hampton had forwarded 10
the Democratic Governors of Maryland, Del
aware and Ohio, through which States the
Senator would have to pass en- route for Pcbnsyi,
yaaia, acquisitions for his arrest, on the same
charges which were brought against him some
time ago. In the meantime, the friends Of Mr..
Northrop are doing their utmost to have him,
confirmed, while Judge Carpenter and his sup.
porters are confident that he, and not Northrop,
is the coming man.

moderately indulge therein. The blood
moves more rapidly and conveys diff

the body as it visits them on that par
ticular mystic journey when the man is
laughing, from what II does at other
times. For this reason every good
hearty laugh in which person INDUCES
tends TO lengthen his life, conveying, rs
it does, new and distinct stimulus to the
vital forces. Doubtless the time will
come when physicians, conceding more

OF each other In many respects. Their success
was substantially the same in its true quality,
Whatever its outward manifestations may have
been. Good sense and long-winded industry
capable Of rising on occasion to intense energy
and inspired by the instincts Of possession,
were the groundwork and conspicuous endow-
ments of them both.
After we have said what there is to be said of

BUFFALO BILL IN PORTLAND,-No with.
standing the storm, Music Hall was very well
filled last evening, on the occasion of the visit
of Buffalo Bill to this city for few days.
There is an attraction 10 Buffalo Bill and his
entertainments that almost always assures q
full house. He is accompanied by a remark
ably strong dramatic company, which num-
bers several artists of more than ordinary abil-
ity The company appeared last evening in
Col Ingraham's thrilling frontier drama of
'Knight of the Plain, or Buffalo BilPs best
TRAIL" in which are introduced genuine Indian
chiefs in faithful portraiture of life on the
plains. The entree of the renowned scout and
guide was the occasion Of tremendous applause.
The drama is quitea meritorious produc-
ton, replete with startling effects, thrilling
situations and fine pictures. The appearance
of the Pawnee and Nez Perces Indian chiefs
was novel affair, they being the same that
we're summoned before the Indian Commits
sioners in Washington, D. c., September 18th,
1878, while playing at Ford's National Theatre,
and afterwards released by Secretary Schurz,
who also appointed Hon. W. f. Cody over
them as Special Indian Agent. A very inter-
esting feature that is introduced into this play
is the shooting by Buffalo Bill, which is almost
unerring in whatever position he places him.

COLLEGE CAPERs. "A ridiculous affair
happened at the Bates College chapel the
other morning. When the students arrived at
prayer for some unaccountable reason the door
was missing and during the night all the
settees had been removed outside, but Just
before prayers had been discovered by the
janitor and taken in in somewhat damp con-
dition. The young men Immediately perched
upon the back of each settee and just as all had
become comfortably roasted the professor who
was to conduct the exercises of the morning,
made his appearance. He entered and a look
of CONSERVATION and mild reproof
o'erspread his countenance at seeing each of
the d'gnified young gentlemen of Bates. The
professor twice commanded all to be seated but
somehow they were 10th to comply with his
wish, and at last. after sternly looking st them
for about ten minutes, during which time a
most awkward silenced ensued, he asked them
to stand which they gladly did, and saying that
the devotional exercises would be omitted for
this morning, quietly dismissed them.
