The First division of the Ancient Orders of Hibernians. held theIr annual ball and soiree in the Town Hall last evening. About fifty couples were in the line of march, which took place at 9:3O p. m. Bode's orchestra, of South Manchester, furnished the music. They deserve especial credit for the ability with which they acquitted themselves. Pro- lessor l.. M. Oowles, of New Britain, did the prompting. Frank H. Hastings, the genial proprietor of the Bradley House, catered to the wants of the happy twains. The ''solid foundations'' and pleasant delicacies will long be remembered by those who helped unload the tables of their delicacies. Taken all in all it was one of the most pleas ant social events ever held in the Town Hall.

The Court Record.
Supreme Court of Errors.

This court came in yeaterday morning at 10 o'clock, Chief Justice Park presiding.
 Arguments were concluded on the motion to transfer to the United States district court the suit of Edward Malley against the Fire mems Fund Insurance company. This is one of the numerous suits which the plaintiff brought against large number of insurance companies to compel the payment of their risks upon the burned stock of his dry goods store. The insurance amounted to $125, OOO. MT. Malley claimed his loss was $15O, ,OOO. With one or two exceptions all the companies refused to pay up on the grounds that the contract contained in the policies had been rendered void by Mir. Malley's action in taking @ new partner into the firm without notifying them. One case out of the twenty. seven was selected as test case and upon a statement of facts prepared in the Superior court went to the Supreme court for decision of the questions of law involved. The Supreme court on purely technical grounds decided in favor of the insurance companies. MT. Malley's coun- sel then determined to contest the cases in the United States courts, which have juris- diction in the matter as well as the State courts.
 The next case taken up was H. P. Hub bard, of this city, vs. George P. Rowell, of New York. Both plaintiff and defendant are advertising agents. In October, 1S79 Hub bard entered into contract with the de- fendant to publish for him until January l in l, ,000 newspapers numerous advertisements filling two inches in space their position to be that of first advertisement after markets. For this service $3, 600 was to be paid in equal monthly payments of $500 each. The original contract was subsequently, modified by an agreement that in papers not publish ing the markets or where the position of mar kets was unfavorable the advertisements be placed at the top of the next column. Af- ter the advertisements began running MT. Hubbard claimed that the defendants were not carrying out their contract as regarded the position of the advertisem ents, and in July, 1880, refused to mako further pay ments. He had then paid 8, 700 on the contract, while his customers, as he alleges in the suit, had refused to pay him anything The plaintiff also alleges that his profits on the contract, had the defendants carried it out as agreed, would have been $9OO. He brought suit for $2 ,50O and it was heard by Johnson T. Platt as committee. Upon his finding of facts it was reserved for the Su- preme court.
 In the case of Luzon B. Morris vs. George B. Grinnen the record was read and the ar guments went over until this morning. This case came before the Superior court at it's September term, when a finding of facts and decree was entered in favor of the defend ent and the latter appealed for the revision of errors he claims to have occurred in the trial. The arguments will be made this court adjourned

MIDDLEToWN's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

From the annual report of E. H. Wilson, superintendent of public schools. Middletown, it appears that there are 1,595 children in the city school district between the ages of 4 and 16, of whom only 824 have attended the public schools during the year. About 400 of the remaining I'll are in private or parochial schools, leaving about 371 who have not at tended school. Of these 134 are under 5 years of age, and the superintendent con- mends ''the good sense of their parents in keeping such infants at home" Ninety-four other absentees are between 5 and years of age. But few are absent between the ages of and 14, though 12l are re- ported between IA and 16. MT Wilson says he is opposed to 'cramming;'' but if q school girl will tread 11O novels in six months, " or ''see company every night or practice on piano two or three hours each day" it is not the school requirements which undermine her constitution. There are twenty-two teachers in the district, and their united salaries amount to $1 1000 per month The total expenses of the district during the year ending September 1st amount to $27,- 6S6.57, including 8, 700 for interest on bonds, $5, ,589 for loan, and $1, 200 for sink ing fund.-Hartford Courant.

AN OLD HAND AT THE BUSINESS

Homer T. Randall, the car thief who stole the axle boxes from the N. Y, N. Fl. & H. R. R. Coat New London and was bound over to the January term of the Superior court, turns out to be an old hand at the business. Infor- nation received from Providence connects him with long list of similar crimes to that for which he was sent up in this city, Three years ago, as the story goes. Randall was a prosperous young junk dealer in Providence He owned nice little house partly paid for on the installment plan, and had thrifty little wife and two children. Beginning to steal junk on 8 small scale, he gradually extended his op- erations and developed into a bold and suc- ceBsful criminal. For more than two years Randall and a confederate have made raids periodically on the railroad shops along the line of the Providence and Stonineton and Shore Line railroads. One of the biggest hauls was the theft of several hundred dol lars worth of axle boxes from the shops of the Boston and Providence railroad in Provi- dence. He eluded the police by taking his plumber direct to the foundries instead of selling it to the junk dealers. On one occa- sion Randall, accompanied by his wife, drove in 8 wagon from Providence to New London, and after gutting shanty near the round house in East London in which were stored axle boxes and other valuable metal belong ing to the Northern road returned to Provi- dence by easy stages and disposed of his booty at 8 handsome sum.-New London Day.
