Fire at Elk Mills.

\ slight fire. occurred at Elk Mills (Bald-

particulars of which reached us too late for

dry and fine cotton, and was carried from
thence into the exhaust. How it was sup

prompt action, amounting to only 500.

A Singular Suit for Blood Money. )"

The trial of the case of Edward Banks
against G. T. V. Gutenberg to recover
$3.50 ''blood money was began on Thurs
day in the Civil District Court, New
York. The plaintiff is young colored
man, who was porter in the St. Andre
Hotel, on West Eleventh street, where
Okenberg found on the morning OF Feb
ruary 18th last, unconscious in bed from
the effects of gas poisoning. The physi-
clans who attended him decided that
nothing would save his life but trans
fusion of blood, and Banks submitted to
the operation. Eight ounces of blood
were taken from Banks, and Mr.. Oxen
berg soon recovered. The plaintiff claims
that he was promised 10 cents per drop
for his blood. Gutenberg testified that
Banks had agreed to accept IS, which he
had given as payment in full. and it was
SO stated in receipt which Bank had
given him.

Another Supervisors Case.

Another case in which damages was
claimed from road supervisor was be-
fore the County Commissioners on Tues
day last. The road is supervised by Mr..
Thomas Conrey, and the cause for the
damage claim was the alleged breaking
through bridge by a horse, by which
he was injured. The horse belongs to
Nh. s. Wood, who claims 800 damage
for six weeks loss of time of the horse
and costs of nursing him, etc. Mr.. Con-
rey's statement Of the case was about as
follows: The bridge, small affair
across drain in the road, had been AL
lowed by him to sink down some time
ago, as it was not needed. Dirt had also
been thrown ON it, and where the bridge
once was, was then only slight depres-
sion in the road. Some time ago Mr..
James Lindsay was hauling wood over
this road, and his men took up the old
boards. and, putting in string pieces of
sapplings cut in the woods, rebuilt the
DlluSt "lIHOuJ Vic huO"lcuSc VI couSeut
of the supervisor, and it was this bridge
through which the horse broke. The case
was argued before the Commissioners on
Tuesday, and the decision will be made
known at the next meeting. By allow
ing damage against IA supervisor of the
First district some time ago in case
sim liar to this the Commissioners have
established the precedent for an unlm.
tied number of such cases, and they will
in the future have their hands full OF
them. A gentleman on Tuesday jOkingly
remarked that "whenever he had an old
good for nothing horse on his hands il
the future he would drive him over one
Of these bridges until he either brake
through or fell down, and then claim
damages for more than the animal wa.
wor' H." but there was more truth THAI
fun in the remark, and unless decided
stand to choke them off is taken, sucl
cases will multiply until there is no emf
to them.

Germany and the American Hog.

The North German Gazette, of Berlin,
quotes letter from Mr.. Sargent, the
American minister, in which he states
that Germany's pretense that the inter-
diction of the Importation of American
pork was owing to sanitary reasons is
now becoming the thinnest veil. The
Gazette, in reply to the assertion of Mr..
Sargent, reproduces an article from a
Cincinnati paper, in which it is declared
that half of the lard manufactured in
America consists of cottonseed oil, tai.
low, clay and water. The Times CORES.
pondent at Berlin says it is believed that
the German government have now found
long sought prete1t for favoring native
lard by prohibiting imports from Amer.
lea. The justification by the North
German Gazette of the interd lotion Of the
importation of American pork, by al
leging that American lard is impure, is q
characteristic example of the reasoning
of that paper.

The Independent Editor.

We can recall no class more deserving of
sympathy, we had almost written pity. than
the editors of so-caled independent newspa-
pers. Their lot is certainly a hard one. Their
mission can never be satisfactorily performed.
The tight rope performer is more successful.
for, as Il rule, he keeps his balance, and it is
only now and then that one breaks his neck.
But the Independent editor is always breaking
his neck, tiguratively speaking. Trim as closely
as he may in a political contest, he is sure to
come out an Independent Republican or an In
dependent Democrat, and the weight of his in
fuence is generally felt against the party whose
cause he halfway espouSes. If, on the other
hand. he impartially abuses both parties, seeing
no good in either. he must be set down as a
Visionary or Il crank, and so loses all journals

evidently puts its Democratic editors at one end
of the plank and its Republican editors at the
other end. First the Republicans have it. and
then the Democrats: and we are expected to
regard this political lettering AS independent
