the same price, $4,000. Salisbury fled a
sub-contract and at last the route was Sc
curely in his hands again at the high price.
For four years now after Salisbury had got
a firm hold of the route at SIS, 900 there was
some special service employed at the rate of
$95, 500 per year. This line extended from
Franklin on the boundary between
Utah and Idaho and directly north
Of Salt Lake City northward TO Helena

cided with that of the Utah Northern Road,
when it was then in process of construction.
From January l, 1880, the route was short
ened 1914 miles, and the mails transferred to
the railroad. It's probable of course they
had been carried on the railroad for Sails
bury for some months. Six months later
thirty miles more were cut off. and on Feb
ruary Is, 1881, forty-miles more, so that the
pay from that date was S19,349. being pro
rata. There was trouble about Blake's offer
to do the work for $4,000 Patrick, of Ore
gon, had put in an offer to do it for $751; 900,
and the claim was set up that Blake's pro-
posal did not come in until after the expira-
ton of the limit set by the Department.
Patrick made complaint through Senator
Saunders, but no charge was made. The In
dian Territory Star Service Routes, says the
correspondent, are not many. The agents
of the Department have been inspecting this
service, and action upon some of their re-
ports has already been taken. Other charges
will be made within a few days. The book
for the current contract term in indian Ter
ritory contains records of ~thirty-nine routes
let under competition, and six routes held
until June 80, 1881, by temporary contracts.
The latter nave been let for the ensuing year
under competition. The correspondent
gathers into one table the routes which have
not been dishonesty manipulated by Brady,
and the contractors and presents in another,
those which show the methods of the ring.

Mir. James Tyler has sold his property in Woodbury and has bought house and lot on the corner of Main street and First avenue, formerly owned by George Austin. He will not occupy it this summer. He and his fam fly are boarding with his brother-in-law, D. T. Welch, Esq, who resides on the opposite side of the street.

 The West Haven depot on the Consolidated railroad was broken into by some burglar last Friday night, but who was not rewarded very heavily for his pains. He got only little over three dollars in pennies. He se- cured entrance by breaking out pane of glass in the waiting room of the depot, and by that means opened the window and then smashed the door leading into the ticket of- flee. Mir. Barber. the agent, does not leave much in the office over night except tickets, which are not of much use to thieves, for they easily be detected.

Theatrtcal Enternrtsa

We learn that Manager John H. Near, of the New Haven Opera House, has just signed a contract with Mir. A. M. Palmer, of the Union Square Theatre, New York, for six nights and matinee of Mir. Palmer's regu- lar company in the present great success at that theatre-''F Felicia, or Woman's Love- 7" The time is the week commencing April 25th, and the six nights are to be selected from the following towns Bridgeport. Waterbury, New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Holyoke New Bedford, Lowell, Fall River and Provi- dence. The consideration was $3, ,OOO cash, which, with the other necessary expenses, will require receipts of about $l,OOO night to meet exp nses. The great attraction offered makes rare inducement, one that will with out doubt be appreciated. The company is the regular one now playing at the Union Square, and embraces such distinguished ar lists as Charles R. Thorne, jr John Parselle, J. H. Stoddardt, Owen Fawcett, DeBelleville Morse, Sara Jewett, Rose Eytinge, Mrs. Phillips, "iss Clayton, etc. etc.
 Mir. Near is to be congratulated upon se- curing this great attraction when number of prominent New York and provincial theatri- cal managers were competing for the prize. The full and complete Union Square company has never left New York before unless for a short season at Chicago or some other large city, and the present trip is only the result of conflict of dates with an engagement with Clara Morris.

Music and Song.

Mir. w. E. Chandler's fifth song recital was given last evening at his vocal studio in the Hoadley building. The audience was large and appreciative. The entertainment was one of the most satisfactory of the series The programme was printed on beautifully illuminated paper of different shades, and the several numbers were evidently selected with care, and were conscientiously and ar tisticallya rendered by some of Mir. Chan dler's more advanced pupils, assisted by MT. M. Steinert, violoncellist, and MT. F. w. Guion, organist. The vocalists were the Misses Palmerton, Richardson, Andrews, Hughes, Munger and Hagerty and the Messrs. Stock, Warren, Lines and Robinson. All seemed to be in excellent voice ,and in the various songs, duetts, quartettes and trios the singers acquitted themselves in a most creditable manner. MT. Steinert's cello solos afforded much pleasure. Mir Guion's organ Q A,companiments in the vio Q 1cello solos were very effective. The sixth recital will be eiy- en in May

The Court Record.

Superior COurt-Civl Side-Judge Hovey.
 In the Superior Court yesterday Judge Hovey decided two cases of interest. In the amicable suit of John F. Barnett and Alexan- der Couter of Orange, trustees of William N Barnetts insolvent estate, vs. John H. Howarth, he finds that the promissory notes belong to the defendant. They were given him by Barnett, deceased, as surety for be- coming his bondsman as administrator of Henry Wards estate. A suit was brought against Barnett on this bond and judgment was recovered and paid as alleged. The trustees then demanded the return of the notes, aggregating 2,471.49 and made by outside parties.
 The demurrer in Eli Morris vs. John A. Peckham is sustained It was an action on contract concerning patent screwdriver The judge finds that the plaintiff is not enti- tied, on the facts alleged in the first and sec- ond counts, to relief in either of the forms. On the third count he is entitled to an ac- count, but the count demanding such other relief as is deemed proper is insufficient Un- der the new practice act the kind of relief must be specified. Judge Robinson for plain tiff, Hamilton and Daley for defendant.

X Good Showing.

The noticeable features of the thirty sixth annual statement of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company, of Newark, are the emi- nently successful management in the securi- ty, economy and profit as shown by the ratio of assets to liabilities, and in the return to policy holders for death claims, endowments, surrender values and dividends to the premi- ums received in 1880. The high official en- dorsement by the Insurance Commissioners of three States, and the non-forfeiture system recently adopted, make this an excellent com pany in which to insure. Their agency in this city has been established the longest and Is now in successful hands, and for particu- ars inquire of Nathan B. Chadsev
