IMPORTANT TO THOSE WHO HIRE
HoRsEs.-A case Of considerable inter
est to lenders and borrowers of horses
was decided in the On. J.,) District
Court by Judge Hopper yesterday at
termoon. On Easter Monday last Rich
ard OyerdUking, a minor, hired a horse
from John Thompson to take Susan
Van Houton to Little Falls, four miles
distant, to spend the afternoon and re-
turn early in the evening. When he
got to Little Fall she concluded to go
further, and drove on to Newark, ten or
twelve miles beyond, and did not get
back to Paterson until 8 or 10 o'clock,
when the horse was found to be in a
very bad condition from over-driving,
and died the next morning. The in
variable remedy, OF New Jersey in such
cases is by an action on the case for vio
lation of contract, but the counsel for
plaintiff brought his action for trover
and conversion, which he thought
safer course in suing in infant. He
drove the horse beyond Little Falls he
not only violated his contract, but that
he WAS guilty OF converting the horse to
his own use. The defense strenuously
objectedto this, but the court sustained
the claim. and the facts being proved,
found the defendant guilty Of trover
and conversion, and assessed the dam
ages ut $500 in favor of plaintiff. 1t is
said to be the first action of the kind
ever tried in New Jersey, at least there
is none reported in the books. The de-
fendant (for whom the court had ap-
pointed a guardian to defend the suit) is
liable to be imprisoned under the judg-
ment of the court in an action of. tort,
until the amount awarded is paid. Pro-
badly nine men out of ten who hire
horses would be equally liable to suits
for trover and conversion (Which is the
civil courts phrase for stealing) of the
hacks they hire.-[New York Herald.

DooToRs, Sun AND AIR.-The air of
the rooms we live in is more or less
alive with germs. Sunlight with air
will kill them, sunlight without air
won't kill them consequently sunlight
and ventilation are essential conditions
of health, and there must be at least
two hours of sunlight to produce effec-
tive results. 1t is neither necessary nor
desirable to allow the scorching sun to
pour through our windows all day long,
but we must have enough of it to keep
our homes sweet and fresh, or we must
suffer the consequences. We may keep
our houses open till ten o'clock in the
morning, and close them during the
heat of the day, reopening them in the
afternoon when the noontide feryors
are over. The amount of good round
doctors bill for attendance on q case OF
dintheria or TYPHOID fever will amply
suffice to put wire netting over all .our
doors and windows, SO that no trouble
some insect can find entrance, while
sunlight and air may freely distill upon
us their blessings.

A French Fighting Editor.
rCornhill Magazine.1

Barbelard, sub editor, was a literary
curiosity, for he could only read with
difficulty, and spelled no word OF our
language correctly save his own name.
He had been appointed sub-edltOr Dy
reason of his gigantic stature and his
power with all duelling weapons. An
old sergeant Of the Cent Gardes, VINO
had been decorated for carrying OIL two
Austrian colonels prlsOners-o1e undeT
each arm-in the Italian war, he STOOD
six French feet in his socks, and had a
pair of bristling red moustaclles, Which,
when he was angry, looked as II they
were afame. 1t was Barbelard who
assumed all the responsibility OF all
the unsigned articles in the Republlcan
journal which employed him and II any
stranger came to ask Tor explanations
about personalities, this imposing SUB
editor was there to answer him in the
correctest language of chivalry. He
tendele ed no apologies Or explanations,
but would forthwith be ready to accept
a challenge to fight next morning early
. with swords or pistols, accOralng as
might be most convenient. Inns olteh
led to little dialogues, somewhat III the
following fashion .,.

the offending journal in his hand)-Sir,

have merely come to renew my suoScrlp-
ton to the paper. What a VAIN day 1t

Sometimes, however, a duel would
arise, and then Barbelard always showed
himself magnanimous in inhlcting only
flesh wOunds-just mere flea bites, as he
called them, ripping up the arm foE
twelve inches or SO, OF carving OH al
insignificant little piece from the ag-
gressor's calf. BarbGlard had fought a
round dozen duels; but he owed another
duty to his newspaper besides tgh ting,
for he appeared IL the correctional conrts
to answer ali charges OF attacking the
government, and underwent the sen-
tences OF Imprisonment to when mem
beys of the staff were condemned. Hc
had come to look upon the jail or st;
PcIagie much as second nome, anC
was not sorry to go there for Il few
months, for he got double pay, nnllml-
ted allowance of tobacco and excellent
meals sent in daily from the restaurant
at the expense of his employers as long
as lis incarceration lasted.

A HORRIBLE DEATH FROM THIRST
A story of most horrible death from
thirst comes to us from near Grays0n.
A Young man had been employed as a
hand in the harvest field got on spree
at q saloon about ten miles from Gray
son, last Wednesday afternoon. The
saloon is kept by quite an extensive
rancher, during the busy season only,
and is literally patronized. The young
man got pretty drunk and wandered
down the road about mile from the
saloon and lay down and went to sleep.
He was seen lying there the next day
by persons who passed with teams, but
no attention was paid to him, on the
supposition that he was only drunk and
not worthy Of attention. During the
day, Thursday, he frequently asked the
passers by for drink, but his appeals
were unnoticed, being. considered the
requests of. a drunk for more drink.
delirious, but no notice was taken OF
him. The second day, Friday, his tongue
protruded from his mouth and was
much swollen, and the piteous appeals
were still made. Finally a tender
hearted butcher passed that way, and
he saw that the man was suffering hor-
ribe agony. He lifted him to his wagon
and took him to Grayson, where he soon
died. 1t was ascertained that he died
from thirst. He lay nearly two days in
the hot, scalding rays of the sun, helpless
and doomed. The inhabitants of that
vicinity are said to feel terribly over
the occurrence. It seems quite natural
that they should. Whether a cor6ner's
inquest was held over the young man
or not, our informant did not learn.
The authorities of Stanislaus county
apparently have considerable business
on hand if they feel inclined to do it.
1t does not appear at this distance that
they are doing it-[Stockton California;

Work on the Morgan Road.
From the City Item.

Mention was made some days ago
that locomotive and ten mud cars had
been taken to Mrs. Smedes' plantation,
on the Teche, below New Iberia.
It was ascertained this morning that
some seventy men, with the locomo-
tive and cars, are busy at work on the
extension of the Morgan railroad.
Two negroes were killed by lightning
at Preston Bend, Texas, and the belief
among their people was that they were
objects of divine wrath. A revival of
religion was the immediate consequence,
and nearly every negro in the county is
convert.
