 AN UNHAPPY NEW YEARS
 Last night, New Years night. the Gaiety Theatre transferred it's nightly show to the Grand Opera House, late Music HaN, for one night only. band of music heralded the entertainment, sbut the attendance was slim. The actors while enacting their parts were all in the dark as to proceeding at the box office, which was entered by Deputy Sheriff Stevens, who proceeded in the name of the law to attach the receipts of the show in the money drawer. The attachment was made for MT. Ohadbourne, the proprietor of the Union House. An interview elicited from MT. Chadbourne that he had instituted the proceedings in hopes to recover payment of 8 personal debt for board owing to him by MT. McFadden. proprietor of the Gaiety. The board bill was $169. The company had boarded at the house but, had paid their bills. The amount attached was not known, not hav- ifK been counted, but supposed to be in the neiehborhood of $125.

THE POTATO CASE.
Interesting Decision by the Dis
trict Court.

decision was rendered yesterday by
Judge Jackson, Of the District Court, IN
a case which was OF considerable inter
est TO steamboatmen. 1t seems that
John Cochran shipped on the steamer
Express, at Thornley's Landing, one
hundred and fifty sacks OF potatoes, o'i
bushels, for Steele, TAFT x Co, at Puts
bnrgh. The potatoes, not having been
received by the conslgnees IN good order
and condition, Cochran entered ioel
against the Express and asked the court
Tor Judgment 10 the amount OF the value
OF the potatoes.
In rendering its decision the court
said it appeared that Mr.. Cochran had
hailed the Express and desired the pota-
toes shipped as per marks. lie desired
their value, Ms we'll as the cost OF trans
portation, collected from the conslgnces
upon delivery, aud wanted the sum
paid him by the boat. The captain IN
formed him that that was not customary
and he would not do II. Further,
that il was not likely the potatoes
could be- reshipped for Pittsburgh at
that time, and as the weather was ex-
tremely cold there was fear OF damage
10 them by freezing. The potatoes
were finally received upon the condl-
ton they could be reshlpped by rail- to
Pittsburgh, in case there was no boat Mt
Wheeling. The express had rung
her bell To indicate her Intention oil put
ting off from Thornley's landing, and
was recalled by Cochran agreeing TO ship
the potatoes upon the terms above:
When the express arrived at Bcllaire
il was learned that no Pittsburgh boat
WAS ut Wheeling, and thepotatoes were
accordingly reshipped Tor Pittsburgh.
1t further appeared that Cochran had
learned ut Marietta that the Pittsburgh
consigncCs were in doubtful rcpul", and
lac accordingly gave instructions IN case
of trouble or doubt, to ship to Nelland,
in Pittsburgh, which was done.
the court held, in regard To the blll
OF ladiug, that the discretionary powers
given by Cochran to the officers ut the
boat was the proper guide to their course
and that in reshipping 10y rail at Bet
laire they probably fulfilled their con-
tract. The bin Of lading, shown 10y the
evidence To have been given later, was
more of the nature OF II receipt OF goods,
aud was, in that line, a protection To the
shipper.
Therefore, the Express having, rs
common carrier, performed hercoutra I,
the court ordered that the libel be dis
missed. 1t is reported that the case
will be carried higher, in which case the
decision will be OF interest both TO ship
pers and carriers.

THE OCCULTATION.
Fine View Of the Spectacle.

Contrary TO general expectation, the
sky, yesterday afternoon, was as bright
rs maiden's hopes. Our predictions
of 4 wind were verified and the clouds
gave place To clear blue, promising
great results to a star gazing effort.
About shutdown, the crescent moon Was
riding about the zenith, but 1t took
something more potent than the naked
eve TO discover the planet Mars, which
was Just eastward OF II But Oy the
time the light OF the sun was sufficiently
Withdrawn To enable Mars to be seen,
he had disappeared. \ REGIsrER re-
porter obtained fine view OF the spec
tacle through powerful telescope and
saw the planet gradually disappear as it
apparently touched the edge of the
darkened disc OF the moon.
This occurred at about 10 minutes
after 6 O'Clock, or some time before dark
aud Was entirely invisible to the Ordin-
ary observer Mars, now on his way to-
ward tine sun, and at point in his
orbit iarthest from the earth. seems
quite small, and nothing but his pecu-
liar ruddy glow distinguished hin from
a fixed star OF the second magnitude.
When nearest the earth he blazes out
with the brilliancy OF Jupiter, aud is
quite an ornament to stellar society.
Through the instrument used by our re-
porter the planet seemed about one-halt
the size Of the moon as ordinarily seen
aud was particular brszen ia color The
dark halt Ct the moons disc looked
an immense cloud, in which the planet
was swallowed up. The glass took no
account OF the distance between the
moon and the planet, and they seemed
in actual contact.
The CIRCULATION lasted about seventy
three minutes, the EMERSON beginning
at twenty three minutes after seven. By
that tune darkness had come and the
stars were shining with unusual brlhau-
cy. At this season the most glorious
cOnstellatiOns of the northern
skies may be seen in the evening,
and they seemed in no wise pSled
by the hight Of the moos. Several pairs
OF anxious ewes were turned from this
Office about the time Mars vas expected
to emerye. and when at last the SHIN
mering point parted company with the
moon, aud stood trembling alone, there
were some donbters who would not be-
lieve that little thing" Was the planet
Mars, Of which they bad heard % much.
But il surely was; and as the moon
pulled slowly eastward, the distance be-
tween them Increased, until both were
swallowed up in bank Oiiog and smoke
in the northeast.
