TrnrarortefiOn Cor, Dnny's (asc.

BALTIMORE. November 5.-In the Court
OF Common Pleas ills morning CHIEF
Judge Brown rendered a decision in the
suit Of John Glenn, trustee, against John
$. Williams and others, brought to recover
IN assessment OF $50 per share OIL the stoca
OF the National Express and Transports
ton Company, in pursuance OF decree On
the Chancely Court Of Richmond. W..
In his opinion the Judge sustained two
principal differences relied upon by the de-
PENDANT st0ckholdcrs-yiZ., that IN the pro-
cecding i'm the Virginia court neither The
defendant nor any 81 the stockholders OF
the company were made parties, and also
that limitations bar recovery 81 any part
OF the unpaid subscriptions Of stockhold-
crs. The company, which was organized
I'm 1863 under q Virginia charter, with
4 capital q five million dollars, iaded
i'm business. and made an assignment TO
trustees for the benefit Of creditors III sep
tcmbcr, 1866. The Court holds that unpaid
subscriptions OF stockholders became due
and dcmandablc at the suit OF the creditors
from the time Of the open and notorious
insolvency Of the company and its aban-
donmcnt OF It's business, which dis
pcnSed with the necessity for formal
call. and that the statute Of limitations
began to run from that date. The
Court further held that the stockholders,
who were tho only parties to be affected by
the decree OF the Virginia court, were ne
cessary parties IN the suit brought to aSccr-
tain the debts OF the insOlyent corporation
and compel contributions from the stock
holders for their payment. Nearly half 4
million stock OF the company had been
subscribed in this city ard state, and over
million I'm New York.

hitting them to proceed with the construction
of the Sonora Railway on the Magdalena

A Dance with the Lunatics at an
Insane Asylum.
Robert Owen was wont to say "The
world is one great mad-house. Enter any
insane asylum in the world and you will
find as polite. well-behaved and as sensi-
BILE people on most subjects as you see out
side. but touch most OF them upon their
weak point and you will soon discover
their c~raziness. And so it is with people of
the world outside Of asylums." We are
reminded Of this, says the Sacramento
Bee, by the fact that Christmas was cello
brated in the Insane Asylum at Stockton.
The patients had a Christmas tree, and after
the presentation OF gifts was concluded,
dancing was kept up until a late hour, to
the great amusement Of the afflicted and
the interest OF the many who came to look
on. The Independent says that it was
difficult to tell the sane from the insane,
and in many cases it would have been
almost impossible to one not acquainted
with the afflicted parties.
