A decision was rendered on NJ onday
by the Supreme Court, OF Philadelphia,
10 the matter Of Henry +. Virden vs., the
Board of Port Wardens. Virden, n pi-
lot, had been engaged by the master OF
the Eliza and Mathilda TO tow that vea-
sci from The sea into the Delaware
Break " ater, and afterwards ont into the
sea again. He received his pay for
bringing the vessel In, $50. That even
ing n Large vessel, the Cim hria, siRnale
for pilot, and Virden left.the vessel b..
was on aud joined the Cimbria. This
was charged against him as desar ion.
and complaint was made To the Board OF
Port Wardens. They decided that since
he did not stay to fulfl his contract be
must pay back the $50 TO the master OF
Eliza and Matbilda, or they refused to
Reissue bis commission IN pilot, W nen
u expired. He appealed TO Common
Pleas, No. 4, and contrLded that the
Board OF Port Wardens did not have ia.
rlsdietiou over offrnses committed at
the Break~ater. Judge Thayer over
ruled this objection aud tirmed the
acnon ot tue Port Wardens. Virden
then took the case 10 the Supreme
Court. That tribunal also deci les aga, nst
him on the ground that the matter can
not be brought up to the Supreme Court
unless there II an irreQularity in the
manner of procedure. Proceedi ngs be,

At the fortnighly meeting Of the Ak
minister Board of Guardians in England,
the Rev. Il. Matson, late curate OF
Membury, Devon, applied for an order
TO enter the wOrkhouse as a pauper. He
had been curate for thirty years and had
never been offered living, and had now
nothing to depend on. The guardians
thought 1t was very hard case, and, as
there was no alternative, granted Ihe
order.

Death Of the Lightning Proof
Raad0r.

John G. Robinson, well known as
the 'lightning proof-reader," was
found dead in his bed at his residence
in Williamsburg. N. Y, Wednesday
morning. For many years he was
proof-reader on the New York Tribune.
In deciphering manuscripts he was a
marvel. He read Richard Hildreth's,
Horace Greeley's, Gerrit Smiths and
other Grabbed manuscripts almost at a
glance. When Mr.. Greeley himself
was unable to decipher one of his own
written sentences he referred it to Mr..
Robinson, who looked at it steadily for
a minute or more, and made out its
meaning. Mr.. Robinson's rapidity in
reading proof sheet aloud was un-
paralleled, and his enunciation was
perfect. He has pronounced 696
words in minute, which was at the
rate of Al, 100 words in an hour.
