ST. VaLENTINE's DAY.—St. Valeutine'S
Day is a day devoted to the interests .of Hymen and
Cupid. Hymen is the direct 'deriendant of Apat

Customs now prevalent. So Berrowful a fate could

'precise and acceptable account The education of the

tinctured with diversity the old belief The ancestry
-Of the heathen rgods, remote in unfathomable cen
turies, was a well-spring of beauty. That spiritual
race boated a genealogy of loveliness and strength.
' The setur4 , sweetness of their immortal boy-deities;
'the perfected girlhood ; the grace ; the goddess ; and
the Muse, were clad in the holiness of beatity, only.
'They stand alone along the staigiung corridor of
poetry; the complete Ecreations ,of pure thought of
refined conceit. They were sensuous, but they were
also intellectual imageries. The ludicrous, the sen
sual, the profane, were reserved for the skulking
Satyrs and the piping Pans. The virgin Hem to the
gods,presented manner in sweetnesr trout her lingerie
fresh distilled ; the youth Ganymede dispensed- the
purple, frothy nectar in golden, sparkling cups. The
Satyrs and the Pans droned and drank and flirted in'
the rich, cool wood°.
Precisely the same spirit and the same dietinotion
is °beer vable at the present day.• The civilized world
is too old and too wise to believe in more divinities
than-the Triune. it has abjured, in a great measure,.
the frolics which long ago celebrated the 14th of
February. St, Valentine's Day, however, gives
illimitable opportunity for gratifying liking and
spite in a covert manner. The convictions and
moods of passion have rarely place here. The small
frincileg,Andelicate conceits, the little stabs of spite,
theitoratehes of malice, alone. aseert and maintain

peculiarly appropriate time. ht. Valentine is as
prolific as ever; his Cornucopia teems.
If St.Vaicntine could be photographed, the divini
ty should be pictured as distributing' kisses on one
hand and rebuff,' on the other. Joseph's coat of
many colors must have been cut from the rainbow.
St. Valentine's hail the same origin. The cardinal
colors, like the cardinal sins, are always hand-in
hand. Their unity, scientific and :esthetic, is a
pleasure of white, their absence a pain of blackness.
The hues, the shades, and the tints, of St. Valen
tine's moral, intellectual and physical attire, throng
with gaiety the hours which celebrate the anniversa
ry of his caonization.
The old poets make allusions to this day. Birds
coupled and boys and girls chose their mates. The
Romanista and the Reformers made endeavors to
direct intoprofitable uses the legendary in fl uences
then prevailing. At the present date, St. Valentine
plays into the hands of the post office, as the returns
of that useful institution invariably prove. t Old
maids always preserve the confessions of some faith
less Valentine, dead (and served him right) fifty
years ago. What they blushed over at sixteen they
turn sallow over at aixty. Antiquarians tell as that
the Supercalia, the feasts in ancient Rome in honor'
.of Pan and Juno, weie held at this time, and. hat
youths and maidens then, as at .the present day,
chose each other by lot. The true and proper cere
mony of St. Valentine's Day was - the drawing of a
kind of lottery. This was followed by a ceremony
not much unlike our present game of forfeits. To
take the first person whom one meets for a Valen
tine may be' a very pretty custom, when the person
is pretty. To every lover of the beautiful, we re
commend the wearing of roileVeolored spectacles at
an early hour on SaturdayWning. This will net
as a protection to the 'sintagainst everything de
formed or inhermonious; l and will lead him to think
kindly of St. Valentine.
THE HEADS OF DEPARTNIENTS.—The
election of the heads of the several city department'
_la on. •• mon • oliticians
sand office-seekers. The Selee .
ells Manifested on Thursday last very little disposi
tion to concur in the resolution from the other
Chamber, to elect these officers at the time desig
nated. Of courfie, the Democratic members are ex
tremely zealous that the election should take place
immediately, for ir it be delayed many weeks, the
matter of the contested 'seats may be settled in a
manner ,which will, cause the Democraby to lose
faith in the stability of all human things. Mr. Duf
field's case has not yet been adjudicated by the Su
preme Court. Mr. hillier will probably be declared
as rightfully entitled .to' his sent in Select Council,
-contested by Mr. Lowry.
One of the Union members of Common Council,
Mr., Aregood, is, as yet, too unwell to attend the
meetings of Council. • The act of Assembly requires
that the election of heads of departments shall take
place beforethe Ist of March, otherwise their offices
. will be cloSed. All. the difficulties in Common
•Council since. the first of the year are attributable
mainly to the zealous devotion of each party to ob
tain the election of the heads of departments.
More than a thousand offieee, of greater or less di
mensions, are to be filled' by this election of Coun
cils. The strUggle b . ) obtain the mastery is, there
fore, animated. The Democrats are now in posses
sion of the Connell . patronage, and anxious that it
shall continue under their sate keeping. The officers
to be elected are : •

appoints a register of water, at a salary of $1,800;
+chief clerk, at $1,000; five permit clerks, at a salary
of $B5O each; four inspectors, at $6OO each; four pur
veyors, at $650. •
Councils also elect Trustees of the Gas Works,,
end give that body, of course, a political complexion,
and render it almost as an indispensable quali
fication that a workman in the employ of the
trustees shall show his claims as a politician before
he receives 'any favors. The Democrats have,since
the election of trustees on Thursday last, a majority
in the board. It is estimated that about two thou
sand men, and, consequently, it might be said, two
'thousand votes, are controlled by the Gas Trustees.
S STEAM SLOOP JUNIATA.—AA the
Junta% has again returned to Philadelphia for re,•
pairs to her machinery, we give a few fads which
have come to our knowledge in regard to her last
trip to the Breakwater. Her engines baying been
completely repaired, she left her anchorage, just
below the Navy Yard, on Friday afternoon, under
orders for sea, having been assigned to important
duty. On Saturday, having arrived at the Break
water, an examination was made of her valves, and
they were both found to be cut. This cutting of
valves is by no means peculiar to the Juniata, but is
a disease which has raided the Oesippee, Monon
gahela, Lackawanna, and others a our unfortunate
new steam aloopa.
At seven. o'clock, Sunday morning, the Juniata
started back to Philadelphia, it being Judged best to
return to this city for repairs. At a few minutes be
fore four in the afternoon, she cast anchor off the
Navy 'Yard, having made the distance, 103 miles, in
less than nine hours. Although the tide was in her
favor most of the way, Awes considered a verygood
run, as the pressure a steam in the boilers was not
allowed to exceed fifteen pounds to the square inch,
for fear of doing further injury to the valves. The
engines averaged over fifty revolutions with this
pressure.
It is not expected that it will take more than ten
days to have the Juniata again fully ready for sea.
Her engines, through the vast improvements which
have been made on them after successive break
downs, have at length been brought to a state of
efficiency equal, if not superior, to that of any of the
new war steamers of her clue, and her officers feel
an unshaken confidence in her ultimate success.
OBSERVATION CORPS NOR TEXAS.—At
t tneeHrg recently held in this city relative to the
projected expedition of General Herman, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted: ,
The undersigned, knowing of the projected expe.
dition of General Herman for the occupation of
Texas, have unanimously' adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the occupatkin •of Texas must be
considered as a moat important movement. Texas
is the wall against European intervention, and we
bellevelt 'to be of the utmeit Importance to the
United States Government to increase the, force for
the occupation of Texas, to insure the integrity and •
indivisibility of the American Republic. ..
Resolved, That immediate ocoupation of Tex as will
out off all succor, through Mexico, for the rebels.
We, tlie undersigned think that the west of the
Union, in a short time, will be the chief theatre of
the war, and that European Powers (France espe
oially) wishes to interfere in American affairs.
Whereas the patriotism and military knowledge
of General Herman, the influence he has in the
loyal States, the confidence of the people, that he le
one of the most ardent defenders of our Union, and
the explanation he has given us of the purpose and
importance.of the movement invite us to join CM ,
Wally his brigade, to which we,undertake to bring
2,000 men in lees than one month.
limbed, That as we have 1,500 men, we ask of the
President of the United States; and all patriotic citi
-lens to grant every facility to insurethe success of
the expedition. Moved and adopted unanimously.
Following are the signatures of several prominent
citizens of Philadelphia and of a great number of
military men.
BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES.—
From the annual statement of the Board Of Health
we learn that during the past year the births in the
•city numbered 14,741 i the marriages Were 4,082 in
number, and the deaths footed up 15,097. There
were i,530 births fewer than there were in 1851, and
-629 deaths'more than during the period itat named.
This increase in the number of deaths Is attribute
bleto the niimeroue military hospitals located within
the city bounds. The deaths during the year were
366 in excess of the blithe.
The largest numbeiof marriages occurred' in
,the
month of Angusi-469; while the month of June con
tributed the smallest number-839,
The number of births registered was 14,741, a de
crease of 2,630 from The previous year, or 14.64 per
cent., and when compared with the mortality of the
year, we find an excess of deaths over births 0[356,
or 2.36 per cent. The number of male births wits
7,600, and of females 7,132, an excess of males of 477,
or 6.26 per cent. The number °teetered children born
was 261, of which 117 were males and 131 females.
There were 164 cases of twin births and one case
of triplets. The still births were 711 ; the excess of
males over females was 11. Total number of deaths,

oTrnrze IN THE PURL= itiCEIOCILL—The
report of the committee of Controllers of the Publie
Schools, upon the system of admission into the
Boys' and Girls' High Schools, submitted at a, re
cent meeting, contains many valuable suggestions
in reference to the mode of teaching at present pre-
Tailing in those institutions, It points out its va
'gotta detects, and comments upon the proper means
to remedy those defects, The report had several
resolutions annexed, most of which have already
been adopted. The committee were of the opinion
that the classes admitted into the High Schools are
too much crowded, and that the tendency is rather
to an increase than to a diminution of the evil.
As regards this point, no argument is needed to
show that the effect of admitting too many pupils la
injurious to the Nigh Schools, it is notorious that
a crowded classroom obstructs,and all but prevents
instruction. But in addition to this, its effect upon
the Grammar Schools is equally hurtful. It in
creases the temptation for the teachers of those
schools to send up for examination pupils not really
qualified or entitled to pursue the High School stu
dies, and subjects a larger number to the hot-house
pressure, which is invariably resorted to, to force
the memory up to the crilvnic point, of retentive
power.
It was proposed by the committee to impose some
limit upon the numbere n f m p b l p r i to s tboeb s e e h n e t r u e p aft f e o r r
e a n d :
milted , and upon
amination, and also to fix a minimum point, below
which the examination average shall never be per
mitted to fall.
It was also submitted that certain of the grammar
schools are crotbded to repletion, while others are
comparatively deserted.
Touching this second point, it is only necessary to
call t attention to the rule of this Board, already es
tablished,.which has been flagrantly violated, and is
daily set at deftapce by probably every school section
of the district.
The rule prescribes as follows : " No pupils resi
dent of one section shall be admitted into the'
Schools of another section without the previous
consent of one of the directors of their own section;
provided, nevertheless, that pupils may still apply
for admission into the schools nearest their resi
dences;" and a strict enforcement of its provisions
will tend very greatly to remedy the evil corn
.plained of. It is believed that through the High
School examinations a compliance with its pro
visions can be secured, and it is proposed, in a reso
lution appended, with a view to that end, that after
February, liM3, no pupil shall be received Into either
High School who shall not be a resident in the
wanl,'or the vicinity of the grammar school from
which such pupil may be sent up for admission.
As this measure is intended simply to bring about
the observance of a rule of this Board, argument is
needed for no .other purpose than to show that its
adoption will 'secure. this end.• • But as thi4under
the present aystem, must be clear to your coin.'
'ranee will say aword , or two in defence of the rule •
itself, which is sought to be enforced. '
Grammar' schools have. been as far as possible,
distributedr to all parts of the district for the accom
modation ,of the citizens, and are maintained at
great expense. There are children enough to fill all
of them comfortably. There are schools enough, it
is believed, to render the crowding of any of them
unnecessary and inexcusable. No grammar school
should be so large that the influence of the principal
cannot be easily and effectively felt in the very low
est form in the lowest class. On the other hand, no
school should he so small as to take away from both
teachers and scholars the healthy stimulus which is
necessary to success. It is no argument to say that
scholars should be permitted to seek the best teach
•
era, for, as has already been shown, the teachers
most successful In 'passing pupils into the High
Schools are the most generally Sought, and they are
not of necessity the best. Besides this, by removing
a large and, perhaps,
the better class of children from
the school in their vicinity, you take away the
strongest motive to exertion on the part of the
teacher, and to watchful supervision on the part of
the directors.
It is thought that the pressure upon certain
schools will be !relieved by apportioning the num
ber of pupils to be sent up for examination after
February, 1883, among the grammar schools, accord
ing to the number of pupils iu actual attendance on
such grammar schools, respectively, at the time of
the examinations. The number sent from each sec
tion will average about the same as it does now, if
we examine the Controllers' reports with a view to
the residence of the pupils ; and the effect of such
an arrangement will be to make the competition
among the grammar schools more healthy, by re
stricting it within reasonable limits.
THE HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.—
The High School Commencement will take place at
ten o'clock this morning at the Academy of Music.
It is unnecessary to say that every seat will be oe
cupied. These commencements aro always over
flowing in their attendance, not only because of the
large number of personal friends of the graduates,
but also, because of the more than ordinary merit of
the exercises. Though the affair is not unfrequently
one of nervousness to both professors and pupils,
graduates and friends, there need be none felt on the
present occasion. Every detail has been provided
for with care. The performance of the Germania
Orchestra has been secured. The exercises will be
opened with prayer by Rev. E. E. Adams, and the
lntioductory Address by Mr. Charles Buckivalter.
Among the more prominent speeches are the Salute,.
tory, by Cicero Hunt; the Scientific Address, " Hy
giene," by Henry Wiener ; the Historical Address,
by Henry F. Morley; the Honormy%Address, by
Theodore P. Matthews; and the ti aledictory, by
Henry J. McCarthy. We hazard nothing in saying
that the exercises will be very pleasing. I li

An Interesting : Chapter on the Develop..
rents of Crime.
Michael McCabe, the keeper of an unlicensed
pawnshop, was arraigned at the Central Station yes
terday afternoon, on the charge of receiving stolen
goods, knowing the same to have been stolen. Also
with doing the business of a pawnbroker without a
license. The developments in this ease are rather
interesting. The defendant has been in the hands
of .the police before this, but somehow or other,
never publicly explained,. he always succeeded in
getting out of them safely. The following evidence
was elicited. It may be here stated that three of
the witnesses, to wit Turner, Wilson, and Shrober,
are convicted thieves. They have no superiors in
the work of thieving.
Major Turner was recently arrested for stealing
some coats from the residence of Mr. J. Quigley, on
South street. He testified as follows : •
I know Mr. McCabe; have known him ten years I
be keeps a pawnshop; I have Bold him goods that
stole; I have been dealing with him this way nine
or ten years; I know the fact that other people have
dealt with hm, and sold him goods which they stole;
I have sold him all kinds of goods—such as cloth or
cassirnere, tea, shoes, boots, coats, &c.; I lifted some
cloth last May and sold it to him; I got it onrourth
street, near Library-the coats I got on South street
a short time since I. took to him; I had four coats,
sold three first for three dollars, and then another,
and got a dollar and a half for it; he has had con
versation with me on the subject; he said he would
buy all I could bring him; I don't know the name of
the firm 1 got the cloth from; at the time I was ar
rested then, McCabe could have identified mei! he
chose to do so; after this trial I had conversation
with him; he said, liked to have been a goner;" he
never came to me in prison.
McCabe was asked if he had any questions to aak
the witness. He replied, "No."
Francis Taylor sworn.—Am one of the firm of
Granello & Taylor, 132 South Fourth street; a piece
of ca mere was stolen from the store last May ;
I remember the arrest of the last witness.
Mr. McCabe did not desire to ask this witness any
questions.
Benj. Levy sworn.—l remember the larceny of the
goods last May ; I recovered the cloth from Mr. Mc-
Cabe and arrested Major Turner for .doing thatjob ;
I went to McCabe. and told hint to come up to the
()Melo see if he could identify .the prisoner; Mc-
Cabe said he had a sore foot and could not come ,•
told him that he must come ; he then. came to the
office; I told him that I had arrested a thief and
asked him to go Into the private room and
see if he could identify him; he went into
the room, and came out and said, " No, that
Turner was not the man;" I have recovered'
other stolen property from McCabe on many occa
sions; I. got ten shawls from him, stolen from Mr.
Jamie; on South street," within half a square of
IlacCabe's crib; r also recovered the four coats stolen
from Mr. Quigley's; when I went down to his shop
be showed us a bottle-green coat, which., he denied
receiving from Turner;.l asked him very particular
ly about it, and he most positively denied it; in re
gard to the shawls, he denied them also, but I told
him the Chief 'had the thing down' to dots;,
and he might as well own up; he then 'said,
Am, yes, he believed he had some shawls ; ' I did
not take them that night, but went next morning,
and he handed me ten shawls ; Wilson came in
there, and I arrested him on sight ,•I afterwards ar
rested Shrober ; after this, McCabe said he had ad
vanced ten dollars on the shawls ; I paid hint the
advance. .
Philip Shuber sworn. I have known McCabe for
six years; he is a broker; he keeps on South street,
below Sixth; I have sold him goods; they
Were stolen;
I was arrested for stealing the shawls;
:they 'were taken to IVleCabe's by Charles Wit:
eon; I was there when Wilson 'brought them in;
there were fifteen, told; they were laid on the coun
ter; McCabe kind of pulled them over the counter as
.though counting them; he examined them behind the
.counter, and asked "where did these come! from?"
Wilson replied, " Got 'em on South street, below
Fifth, on the other side of the way;" he asked,
"Were the goods in the stover Wilson said, "No
they were on the. outside;" then McCabe said, "All
Tight! to go on, that he had a large seat() &vim in;" I
don't know what he means by that observation; he
;advanced six dollars on the shawls; first, he only
;offered five dollars, but after this, he gave a five
.dollar note and a one-dollar note; I was arrested for
.the larceny; McCabe identified me at Abe._ hearing;
he did riot identifyme in court; he identified Wilson
;in court; McCabe came to see me in prison,
and told
ime to make myself perfectly contented, that I would
!be discharged when the Case came before the grand
ijury; I pleaded not guilty on the, strength of what
the told me.

goods there ; he told me to fetch all I could get; last
July I got a gold watch worth $6O and sent it to
him; this was on one Sunday I "beat" a man out
of it at Water and Pine streets; he was half drunk
and snoozing; I have taken a silver watch there,
also clothing, such as coats, pants, vests, which I
stole; McCabe did not come to see me in prison.
Mr. Levy recalled. The Mayor has just informed
me that McCabe has not taken out a license; his
hoffor will be down here presently.
"Mr. McCabe," said the alderman, "have you
any statement to make?"
Mr. McCabe replied, " they seem to tell a very
loose statement."
Alderman, replied "I don't see anything very loose
about it; I rather think you'll find it pretty tight."
At this stage of the proceedings hie honor the
Mayor entered the office and took the witness-stand.
On being affirmed, he testified that Mr. McCabe is
not licensed as a pawnbroker it is my duty to sign
all licenses; I did not • sign a license for him for the
year 1862; I cannot say whether be ever had a li
cense unless I examine the old books.
Dlr. McCabe did not desire to ask the Mayor any
questions.
The defendant was ordered to find bail in the sum
of $3,000 to answer the charge of receiving stolen
goods, and $l,OOO for doing pawnbroking business
without a license.
Alleged Robbery of ft Tin.
William Daley was taken before Alderman Beater
yesterday on the charge of robbing a till, at the pub
lic house of D. McCollum, at Seventeenth and Car
penter streets, between ten and eleven o'clock on
Tuesday night. The evidence of Mr. McCollum sets
forth that the accused, in company with a, friend,
-'esnieltito' his piece tind,o4.ll-44044tabffemle;'they•
.hailbeen in • there before (the proprietor went into
the cellar to draw the beverage, and coining up
rather quicker than usual observed the accused
leaning over the counter with a hand in the till; in
jerking back quickly, the "till-tapper" dropped a
twenty-five-cent note on the counter ,• both parties
tried to escape. °Metz. Rannings, of the Second
district, was speedily on tne spot, and secured the
prisoner.
After a hearing, the defendant was committed to
answer.
Assault and Battery.
Matthew Carr was taken into custody by Officer
Murray, of the Seventh district, on the charge of
committing rather a violent assault and battery on
Henry Dyes, at a public house near Oallowhill and
Fourth streets, on Saturday night. It seems that
some words ensued in regard to the payment of
EOM() liquor. A light ensued, which resulted in Mr.
Dyne being beaten so badly about the head as to
put his life in jeopardy. The accused was required
to enter bail in the sum of $6OO to answer at court.
(Before Mr. Alderman White.)
An . Alderman Arrested.
Alderman - James McPeak, of the Second ward,
was arraigned before Alderman White yesterday, on
the charge of assault and battery, alleged to have
been committed upon John Clayton and Thomas
Evans, a couple of seafaring men, at an early hour
on Monday morning, in the vicinity of Second and
South streets. The facts as developed are, that at
about two o'clock on Monday morning Messrs.
Evans and Clayton came from a restaurant, where
they, had stopped for the purpose of getting some
refreshments. As they got into the street they were
accosted by a one-armed man, who said he could
whip them. The noise attracted the attention of
Police Officer Miller,
who haatened to the scene.
He discovered one of the three men to be Alderman
McPeak.
The alderman arrested one of the men, and it is
said directed the officer to take the other into
custody. The two men were taken to the lock-up,
and in the morning the officer preferred the charge
of disorderly conduct in the street, Alderman Mc-
Peak being absent.
The men subsequently proceeded to the Central
Station, and lodged a complaint with the Chief of
Police. They found out that the other man was
Alderman rile Peak, and had a warrant issued for
his arrest. The alderman was arraigned yesterday,
and after a hearing was required to enter bail in the
sum of $5OO to answer at court.
Alleged Larceny of a Bag of Oats.
Jacob Johnson was arraigned before the same ma
gistrate, on the charge of the larceny of three bushels
of oats. It seems, from the evidence, that the ac
cused is employed about the market to do errands
and other business for the butchers and hucksters.
About two weeks since, Mr. J. Houser, a butcher,
purchased three bushels of oats, put them in his
wagon, and told defendant to take them to the sta
ble or barn of Mr. H., located somewhere on the
neck. Johnson jumped into the wagon and drove
away. When' Mr. Houser reached the barn, he
found the oats bag, but not the material he put in it.
The prisoner, on being questioned, said he "put
the oats in a bar l,” and left them there. He was
committed to answer at court.
Receiving Stolen Goods, ik.c.
Patrick Murray, who has been in Philadelphia
about eight months, was charged before the same
alderman with receiving stolen goods, knowing the
same to have been stolen. The evidence adduced
developed the fact that a few nights ago the stable
of Mr. J. Fitzgerald, onliliddle alley, was forcibly
entered and robbed of a 'number of portable articles.
Mr. F. made a tour among the junk-shops, and
finally identified a hatchet at the place of the de
fendant. The latter said he had purchased it for the
sum of three cents. He denied having any more
to .roseautor. A search-warrant
and about the establishmen 0 renrereauswad.
accused was required to enter ball in the sum of
$l,OOO. A pathetic effort was made to induce the
magistrate to reduce the amount of bail, but it was
in vain. •
(Before Mr. Alderman Hutchinson.]
Alleged. Larceny.
Christiana Wherle was arraigned yesterday morn
ing on the charge of the larceny of some clothing,
taken from house No. 133'7 Ridge avenue. She had
been employed in the family for a short time, and
about a week since, it is alleged purloined the ar
ticles. She was arrested by Officer Gardiner, who
had been looking for her for several days. The de.
fendant was ordered to find bail in the sum of $6OO
to answer at court.
Alleged Thief Arrested
Nicholas Johnson, who lost an arm at Harper's
Ferry, was arrested yesterday afternoon on the
charge of stealing a package, containing the sum of
0,5c0, from one of the offices of the Government at
Washington, about four weeks since. Two officers,
Messrs. Taggart and Levy, of the detective force,
have been on.the qui vine for him for throe weeks,
and yesterday afternoon the first-named officer suc
ceeded in capturing him. The prisoner would not
say a single word. He was taken down to Wash
ington last night, where he will be tried for the
larceny. It is said the evidence against hint is of
the most positive character.
' The Assignee Case.
We have been requested to say that, in the report
of the assignee case, published yesterday, the firm
should have beenJ. W. McCurdy SE. Sons, and not
Charles H. McCurdy. It was the last named gen
tleman who was the main witness in the case, and
we naturally supposed him to be the main member
of the firm. For the name Clover, read Grover.

ACTION AOAINST AN INSURANCE COMPANY FOR
).OAS OCCASIONED BY TIER REBEL PRIVATEER
John Fitleld vs. The Insurance Company of the
State of Pennsylvania. This was an action on a
policy of marine insurance for $3,000 on the brig
John Welsh , dated December 23, 1860, for one year,
Issued by the insurance company. On the 6th of
July Me brig was captured by the rebel privateer
J eft' Davis, about three hundred miles off Nantucket,
and became a total loss to the insured. The insu
rance company refused to pay the loss, on the
ground that it was not covered by the terms of the
policy, and hence this action.
The perils insured against were of the "seas,
fires,ptrates rovers, mailing thieves," & c., "and all
other perils, looses or misfortunes that have or shall
come to the hurt, detriment or d&mage of the said
vessel," &c. The facts of the capture and loss were
undisputed, but the point raised was whether it was
embraced by the perils insured against, it being con.
tended that the loss was not occasioned by prates,
rovers ' or assailing Thieves, but by the acts of public
enemies, which was not a peril insured against. The.
Court directed the jury to find for the plaintiff for
the amount claimed subject to the opinion of the'
Court °lithe poinfreserved, whether the loss' was
embraced by the terms pirates, &c. Geo. W. Biddle
and Hon. Ohas. Gibbons for plaintiff; E. S. Miller
and B. Gerhard, Elms., for defendant.
ACTION NOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION
Colson Beiskell vs. Samuel S. Nichols. This was
an action to recover damages for an alleged malicious
prosecution for perjury, instituted by the defendant
against the plaintlrin 1850, in the town of Brennan.
Texas. On the Oath of the defendant, charging Mr:
Beiskell with perjury, he was arrested and subse
quently tried,, when, without further proceeding, he
was discharged by the court. Thejudges of the
Examining Court and some of .the most influential
citizens of the place united in signing a paper de
claring their belief in his entire innocence, and that
the prosecution was without foundation. For want
of probable cause the action for malicious prosecu
tion was instituted. , On trial. S. C. and S. H.

PARTNERSHIP ACTION.
Robert B. Kirkpatrick vs. Jacob H. Lex. This
was an action to recover on the following state of
facts: In 1863 the plaintiff and defendant entered
into a copartnership for the purpose of carrying on
the business of sugar refining, each partnereontri
butingthe suns of $25,000. The parties are; related
to each other by marriage. The business went on,
apparently, very prosperously; so much sooccord
ing to the allegation of plaintiff, that, in Witten to
his capital, he loaned the firm the sum of $26,01:0,
taking the.due bills of the nrin. In the early part of
September, 1866, an unfortunate family difficulty
occurred which interrupted and broketup the, pro
gress of the partnership.. The firm was then discever
ed to be insolvent,. the indebtedness being $lOO,OOO.
An assignment of all the partnership assets for the
benefit of creditors was executed to the defendant
hyt plaintiff, the former

the he
Mara of the firm, and the debts were principally
settled at 'TO centi'on the dollar. It is now alleged
that there were 'four outstanding notes, amounting
to more than $B,OOO, due to persons who refused the
compromise, and Mr. Kirkpatrick was subsequently
sued on, and obligee to pay them, although. he al
leges Air. Lex had received more than enough from
the assets to pay them, and had actually appropri

the amount of the due bills, viz g 26,003, one half
the; amount of the notes he was obliged to pay, and

After..the case had. been on trial some time the
plain= withdrew his claim on the due bills and the
court directed the jury to find a verdict for the Pll,in
