A RIOT TEST CASE DECIDED.-A test case in.
yolying the liability of Allegany county, Pa.
for goods destroyed in the July riots of 1877
has just been decided at Beaver, Pa, TO which
tiff, Cincinnati whisky firm, brought suit TO
recover value for shipment OF whisky de-
stroyed en- route by the mob at Pittsburg
claiming to recover the full value of the whisky
at the point OF shipment, with interest and
freight added as far as Pittsburg. The defense
took the ground that the act making the conn.
ty liable was not intended for the protection of
any but citizens of the county: that the dis
turbance at Pittsburg was more than a mob,
amounting to an insurrection that if the off,
GERS OF the railroad company were at fault I'm
conduct with reference to it, the owners of the
goods could not recover. They made offers of
evidence TO sustain these points, all of which
were oyerruled by the court, and verdict was
rendered for the full amount claimed by the
plaintiff. The case will lie appealed to the Su-
Dremp Court

WHY HE COULDN'T RETAIN A CHI
NESE SERVANT.

A merchant in this city, who shall be name
less, has for the past month or so been ex
perimenting with Chinese domestics, at his
residence But for some unaccountable
reasons the experiment did not work well.
The first Chinaman he succeeded in retaining
in his employ about two weeks, but one fine
morning he turned up missing. Nothing
strange was thought of this, and another
| Celestial servant became an inmate OF the
merchants household. This fellow only re-
manned one day, and from that time on the
merchant was compelled to engage fresh
Chinaman at least every forty eight hours.
The servants could not be induced to remain.
Explanations for their strange conduct they
would not Offer and the merchant and his
wife were at a loss to account for these pc
culiar Celestial freaks. The annoyance caused
by this constant change of servants became
unbearable, and after patience had ceased to
be virtue, the merchant visited the Chinese
intelligence office from which he had engaged
his numerous servants, for the purpose of as
certaining where the screw was loose. The
Celestial proprietor of the concern feigned
ignorance, but requested to be taken to the
residence Of the gentleman. The request,
under the circumstances, was novel, but still
it was granted, When the pair arrived at the
the merchant residence the Chinaman asked
to be shown the kitchen. This request was
also complied with. He looked around for a
few seconds; suddenly he remarked to the
merchant, ''now me tellee you what's matter;
you wifee too muchee scold, alice same clazy.'
He then pointed to a couple of Chinese
characters drawn with piece of charcoal on
the wall in a corner near the kitchen stove. |
He explained that all Celestial servants leave |
their marks in houses where they serve, when
they are on the point of leaving, briefly set
ting forth the pleasant or undesirable |
peculiarities of the family, for the benefit of
their successors. If the nature of the charac-
tiers lead them to believe that they will not
be well treated, they ''do not tarry long If
this isn't funny, it's very suggestive.

ANOTHER CONVERTED BEN ISRAEL

In Sunday school not hundred mile:
from the Capital, there is youth of the Jew
ish persuasion in attendance, with the full
consent of his parents He has been on the
roll and punctual in his attendance for long
time. Though only about eight years of age
he is an apt scholar, with the boyishness OF
being little mischievons. This is his great
est trouble The wish of his Abrahamic heart
was to have little fun occasionally. AS the
wish is father to the thought, the overt-act
must be a grandson to the wish. He was
caught in the act of ''cutting up once or
twice, and the Superintendent told him if he
was found guilty again he would have to ex-
pei him. He was good for a couple of Sun
days but restraining grace, even in Sunday
school, was shorted, and he fell. The threat
was carried out. To his pain and modification
he was compelled to take his hat and proceed
to the habitation of his fathers. The repre-
sentatives of those fathers, albeit, both the
father and the mother of the lad, Though by
American institutions rendered temporarily
untrue to the teachings and admonitions of
said fathers3 went and begged that he might
be replaced under the tuition of the good Su-
perintendeIit The latter was firm. The edict
had gone forth. The request was denied
Time passed on, several Sundays were check
ed off ON the almanac's well thumbed page.
Then the boy himself returned. He climbed
to a sufficiently prominent point on the fence
to be readily discerned, and shouted, ooh
say there! Mister! Say! Look here The Su-
perintendent came to the window and our he
70, putting air of in ured Innocence, de
clared, loud enough to be heard by the whole
school: ''Glory be to the Father, and to the
Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the
>seginning is now and ever shall be, world
without end, Amen. 81 believe in God the
Father Almighty maker Of heaven and earth,
and in jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord
(here he bowed solow to almost fall from the
fence,) ''who was conceived by the Holy
Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered" =
here he stopped to draw breath and added, |
"Say Mister Can't come back to Sunday |
school notc?" The Superintendent relented. |
Who wouldn't? The boy is now reinstated |
and is good, kind, gentle, obedient Sunday
school boy and credit to his kind teacher
and will probably make useful member of
society. He may yet be good missionary.
Is not this nice story, little boys?
