The Christiancy Case.

Chancellor Wylic, on motion of the couu-
sci for ex-senator Christiancy in the suit
for divorce brought by him against his wife,
to-day appointed +. S. Chaplin, esq.,, com-
missioner to take the testimony of the fol-
lowing witnesses: Ira II. Bartholomew,
Halbert B. Shank, Kitty Sharkey, Lucy
Myers, Orlando NJ. Barnes, Merritt S. Cole
man, L. III. Davis, Rush ]. Shank, Stephen
ID. Bingham, Samuel L. Kilbourn, Harley
Ingersoll, Frank Wells, Eugene f. Cooley
Manly Mills, Martin V. Montgomery, Schuy-
Ter s. Olds, and Mrs Allen.
The object of this testimony is to con
tradict that of Mrs. Christiancy and her
mother, Mrs. Lugcnbeel, regarding the con-
duct of Mr.. Christiancy while in lansing
Mich, with his wife, and to disprove the
charges of cruelty and intemperance of
himself and sons, as alleged by her.
The application of her counsel for a
commission to take the testimony of Dora
Davis, in Lansing, was refused, the chan
cellor holding that their time had expired
for that purpose. He also made an order
requiring the counsel for Mr.. Christiancy
to conclude his testimony within thirty

Pagan Rites of the AborigIncs.

The annual rites of those Onondaga In
dians who remain pagans ended last night.
On Sunday was celebrated one of the most
singular ceremonies-the burning of the
white dog as a sacrifice to the powers of
the air. The Indians having assembled in
long room surrounded with benches, the
relation and Interpretation of the dreams
of the year began. At precisely IL o'clock
tall brave entered with the dead body of
the white dog slung over his shoulder.
When he had received his instructions he
departed, followed by two or three other
persons. Presently they returned with a
basket of tobacco and the dog, which,
decked with paint, beads and ribbons, was
placed upon platform. The celebrants
marched around the platform in procession,
chanting supplications that the dog might
carry away their sins to the spirit of the
air. The entire company then proceeded to
place between the council houses, where
q fire had been kindled, and after a
harangue and dirge the dog was consigned
to the flames, upon which the tobacco was
presently thrown,

Foul Murder of a Roy.

On Tuesday morning the police found in a
rear cellar at No. SO Baxter street, N. Y,
the body of young lad, frozen stiff and
gnawed by rats. 1t was supposed that he
was tramp who had crawled in for shell
ter from the cold and perished there. Yes
terday il was discovered that the dead lad
was foully murdered, dragged cut Of the
way and robbed. Captain Kealey has the
murderer, an ex-conyict named Moriarity,
under arrest, with witnesses enough to
prove a clear case of murder. The dead
boy was Charles Weber, aged 10. He
tended bar for his father ut No, PIG Canal
street. On Monday evening, passing
through Baxter street, he was deliberately
shot down and killed by Moriarity, who
claims that he did not know him and that
the shooting was accidental. To hide the
crime the murderer, with the assistance of
man who was in his company, dragged
the body o: the lad into the cellar and
robbed the dead of his coat and hat.
Noriarity is drunken Yagabond, who has
been in prison for theft. Weber's mother
proves that Moriarty knew his victim.
The prisoner aud witnesses are locked up
in the Mulberry-street police station.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The second quarterly examination of the
Washington Normal School took place this

ercises, The programme was indeed an
excellent one, comprising lessons in zoology,
literature, teaching exercises, music,
methods of teaching, clocution, psychology,
and drawing. The class is composed of
twenty-five young ladies' all of whom gave
evidence of the most careful training and
systematized views of education. The
graduates go forth in the world with the
certificate Of this institution guaranteeing
their capacity and cultivation for the high
est position of teachers. There is no insti-
tuition of learning in the world where a
more thorough preparation is made for the
high duties and responsibilities of teachers
The school is under the immediate charge
of Miss Lucilla L. Smith, with Misses Pun
phrey and Garrison as assistants.

VALLEJO, SALoNA COUNTY, CAL,
January 13, 1SS2.
GENTLEMEN: Tho publication in tho
Army and Nary Journal of commendatory
notice of st. Jacobs Oil from the pen of
my old and valued friend, Capt. Coghlan,
of the navy, now on duty here, reminds mo
of an unfulfilled task, which it is pleasure
for me to complete. A sufferer for seven years
from cruel joint trouble, pronounced by
some practitioners gout, and by others
rheumatism, but distressingly painful
under any name-I was slowly making my
way, with my crutch. to the courtroom,
when 1 was accosted by Captain Coghlan,
who kindly gave me his arm. He furnished
me with an account of how his well-lenown
sufierings were allevated by the use of the
Oil, and, with his usual persistent en-
ergy, insisted on sending me some, which
he had. Doubtingly enough, l applied it
according to directions, and the relief,
within reasonable time, was such
as to make me almost disregard the
evidence of my own senses. When one has
been plagued so long-grown gray with
pain-and exhausted purse, patience and
pharmacy in seeking relief, incredulity is
reasonably prominent-and blamelessly so.
But after continuous use of the remedy, 1
am constrained to say with especial refer
ence to its therapeutic value, "post hoe,
ergo pTOpter hoc," and to congratulate myself,
and my family specially, and the human
race generally. With great relief, l am,
gentlemen,
Yours thankfully,

MARE ISLAND, CAL,
December 49, 1881.
S1Rs: An enforced residence of two years
in this abominable climate of California
made me the subject of most painful at
tucks of rheumatism, during which was
totally unable to perform the arduous du-
ties Of my Office Consultation upon my
case by eminent naval and other
surgeons failed to afford me tho
slightest relief, and my distress
was much aggravated by tho fact that my
physical disability would result, under the
law, in my retirement from active service
on the eve of my promotion to the grade of
commander. At this period DR.. Hoyle,
friend of mine, recommended to me st.
Jacobs Oil, the happy result Of the use of
which has constrained me, in my deep graft
tude, to hereby acknowledge the complete
and WondcIJal cure IL has drought in my
case.
l am sincerely yours,

Fire i'm the Capitol.

Considerable excitement was created at
the Senate end of the Capitol this morning
by the breaking out of fire in the Marble
room. 1t appears that the gas-pipes under
meath the Senate floor had corroded, and
there was no way for the gas to escape
through the tileing, and it burst out along
what is known as the base boards round
the walls of the Marble room, and became
ignited. The blaze reached up to the dis
tance of two or three feet. 1t was extin-
guished with but little damage and quiet
was again restored.

An important Decision.

In the Equity Court this morning,
Justice Wylie decided the cases of Dobson
VS.. DUNCAN and Cousins VS.. Strasburger,
the argument in the first case having been
discontinued to allow counsel in the sec
ond case an opportunity to be heard, the
principle involved in both cases being alike.
After two days argument the Court
granted iniuctions in both cases, restrain
ing the principal defendants and one Jacob
Rich, who was also assignee in both cases,
from in any way interfering with aud dis
posing of the property in stores 3O6 aud
sos Seventh street. The Court held that
where person in insolvent circumstances
purchases goods but a short time before his
failure in business and then transfers the
property to an assignee for the benefit of
his creditors, these are facts from which a
fraudulent intent at the time Of purchase
may be inferred and vitiates the sales.
