for $1,000 issued, to tho plaintiffs by tho
defendants Col. Il. w. NIcAIastor and
Mcssrs. Gaillard q Reynolds repre-
sentcd the plaintiffs, and Jno. Il.
Seibcls, Esq, the defendants. The de-
fcndants resisted tho claim OH variety
Of grounds. 1t was first objected that
whereas condition of the policy re-
quircd that no suit could be brought
upon it after the expiration of one year
after the loss, this action was not
brought till September, 1879, while the
fire occurred in August, 1878. To this
it was urged by the plaintiffs that they
were induced to delay their action by
conduct Of the Company's agents, who
held out the prospect of an adjustment.
Tho defendants moved for nonsuit on
the ground just stated, but Judge Mac
key o,ei ruled the motion. A similar
motion was made on the ground that
the proof Of loss, required by the poll
cy to be fornishcd in a "rcasonablc
timc," was not forthcoming until May,
1879. On this point his Honor held
that whether there had been rea-
sonablc diligence used was question Of
fact for the jury, and therefore refused
the motion. The case then won't on, u
good deal oftestimony being Eat in
for the defence, and some in reply for
the plaintiffs. After argument by Mr..
Gaillard and Col. McNIastcr for the
plaintiffs and by Mr.. Scibcls for the de-
PENDANTS, and All able charge by his
Honor, the jury retired. After some
dclibcration they returned into court
with the following verdict: We find
the plaintiffs, fifteen hundred and for
ty-three dollars and seventy five cents.
j. A. Stewart, Foreman" Counsel
for tho defendants gave notice Of a mo-
ton for a new trial.

THE ROMANCE OFdN Album.

How n Letter Written on Venture Fell into
tho Very Hantls that Should Receive It.
Interchange Of Courtesies Between North
md South.
The snbjoined letter was received
few days ago at Yonguesville Post
office, or Woodward's, in this county
with the request that the postmaster
would forward it to the nearest editor.
We give tho letter in full with the
greatest pleasure, not only because of
the generous and fratcrnal spirit in
which it is couchcd, but to give point
to the coincidence we shall mention
concerning its reception. The letter is
as follows:
., WINFIELD, Feb. 0, 1880.
TO the Editor:
DEAR SIR: / address you, because
know what kind heart each editor
po: scsscs. will tell my story, and
distribute compliments afterwards.
During the "late unplcasantness," a
Yankee Colonel came into possession of
Chat doesn't mean stole) an autograph
album belonging to Southern young
lady-or, young in 1868. I saw tho
album week ago, and read its story
thus: It was given in 1859 to "Miss
Laura Brice, by her loving brother"
The autographs it contains are general
ly signed without surname, and dated
during the years go, '61 and '62. Ono
writer is "Saml. b. Lumpkin" or
"Tolnpkin." All tho autographs are
| written either ut Columbia or
Younguosville. The writer spoken of
above once addresses "Laura" as "My
dear wife,"
Now, my dear Editor, can YOU not
hand this to the lady, the lady's fami-
ly, or her husband, if living? 1 will
be obliged to you. I know nothing of
these people, yet feel a desire to
| have this little worn album returned to
some member of the family Of the lady
once Mr.. Bricc.
Pardon this strange letter, from a
stranger. I ans Northerner. Yet
possess 10 Northern prejudice against
the South. I am not joking when l
say I honestly desire the restoration of
its lost album.
Hoping to hear from you or from
some of the Brice or Lumpkin family,
l give my address:
Miss FANNIE B. SKINNER,
Winfield, Cowley Co., Kansas.
The letter is written in beautiful
hand, evincing on the part of the fair
writer cultured mind az we'll as a
warm heart. We feel assured that
Miss Skinner, were sho TO visit this
section, would find no prejudice against
people Of the North, especially such az
are engaged in the holy mission of con.
ciliation and peace.
The letter reached Younguesville
safely, and by q strange coincidence
the postmaster of the place, and conse-
quently tho first to read its contents,
was the identical Mr. Saml. B. Lump
kin tho husband of the owner Of tie
album, formerly Miss Laura Brico.
The "ncarest editor has, therefore,
no other duty to perform than that OF
recording this pleasing little incident
Mrs. Lumpkin is at present visiting
Florida and has not yet heard ofthe
fate of hor long lost album, and it will
probably be here in time to greet he,
on her return homo. We will return
tho letter to Mrs. Lumpkin to be pre-
served as a souvenir Of this pleasant
little event. And to the fair lady
from Kansas we, as a "kind hearted
editor" return thanks for having beer
the means of furnishing us with ali in
teresting ''item."

A Curious PATENT.--The public
have laughed over the mania to paten,
even the smallest invention, and it has
been said that man tried to patent q
chalk mark drawn around the legs ofa
cupboard to keep ants out. This was
verified in Washington recently, 70,
Mrs. Kato Strong, on an appeal from
the adverse report Of tho pat
el,t office OH her patent, to the court OF
general term, won the case, and she Is
now the possessor Of the cant Guard
which Is nothing more nor less than d
chalk mark drawn across the floor,
Ants will not cross it, and they attempt
It, the composition Of the chalk makes
them sick and they die right away.
Everybody will learn its secret, and
so we don't see where she can get back
the money She spent in the litigation.

HEBREW TnADITIONs.- Tho .Ie,uish
messenger says the following beauti.
tul tradition about Moses has been,
handed down to postcrity:
He fed the flock of his fa'hcr-in-law
Ono day, while lie was contemplating
his flock in the desert, he saw a lamb
leave the herd ana run further and
further away. The tcndor shepherd
not only followed it with his eyes, but
went aftor. The lamb quickcncd its
steps, hoped over rhe hills, sprang
over bitches, fastened through valley
and plain; tho shepherd unwcariedly
followed its track. At last the lamb
stopped by spring, at which it eager
~ qucnched its burning thirst. Moses
hastencd to the spot, looked sadly at
the drinking lamb, and said: at was
thirst then, my poor beast, which tor
mentcd thee and drove thee from me,
and didn't understand; now thou art
faint and weary from the long, hard
way, thy powers arc exhausted; how
then condst thou return alone to thy
comradcsW After the lamb had
qucnchcd its thirst and seemed undc-
cidcd what road to take, Moses lifted
1t to his shoulders, and, bending under
the heavy burden, strodc back to the
flock. Then he heard the voice of God
calling to him, saying: "Thou hast a
tender heart for my creatures; thou
art q kind, gentle shepherd to the
flocks of men-thou art now called to
feed the tocks of God"
