TTTE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, PUT DAT, FEBRUARY 3, 1871. IIARTAUD COLLEGE EXEtfrTIOX. An Important nnd Intrrtntlng- Drrlitloit. The Boston Journal jjlves the particulars of the case which was decided In the Maichti setts Supremo Court a few days asjo, as reported ly telegraph, in which the parties IntereUod were the president and fellows of Harvard Col lege on the one side and the Honrd of Alder men of Boston on the other. The president and lellows of Harvard College had petitioned for a writ of certiorari. The facts are that the petitioners are owners of the estate No. 112 Washington street, ru ti tling back to Devonshire strcot, which was de vised to them by Henry Webb, who died in 1GM. The provision in the will is as follows: "Item 1 give and beque ath nnto Harvard Col lege, next and immediately after my decease, mv house ami land, which I lately purchased of Hnry Phillips, and was the late housaof Samuel ONver, deceased, with such deed or deeds that concern the nme; and the yearly rent whereof to be Improved after the duo and necessary repairs thereof are pro vided for, to be forever, elDher for the maintenance of some poor scholars or otherwise, for the best pood of the college and approbation of the over fieers, of my will." In the net incorporating Harvard College, passed at. the General Court in 1650, it is among other things provided, ''that all not exceedtog the value of fire hundred pounds per annum eb all from henceforth be freed from all civil impositions, taxes and rates." For a long time after this the income from such source did not exceed that amount per au num. On the 11th ot April, 1808, the Board of Aldermen passed an order for the widening of Devonshire street, and it was widened, taking a portion of these premise?, and an assessment laid upon the whole estate of $154140, for the benefit which accrued to the estate. It is cluimed tbat this assessment is erroneous and unlawful, because, nuder the act above, the estate is freed from all civil impositions, taxes, and rates, and no tax was ever assessed upon the estate, nor any ever paid. The respondents laim that the value of the estate is much above five hundred pounds per annum, and that the charter of the college does not exempt it from payment. The malu question was whether this was "a civil imposition." The case was heard, and the Court made the following decisions: First, the assessment Is a "civil imposition." Second, tho exemption is applicable to the estate upon which the assessment was laid, and notwithstanding the increase in the value of their estate beyond the amount of that trust. LIFE INSURANCE. The Knllurn of the Karmem' nnd Mechanic' Com puny Necessary Amendment of our In iiraure liin. The N. Y. Post of last evening says edito rially. A contract has been made between the re ceiver of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Life Insurance. Company, acting as trustee for the policy holders, and the Empire Mutual Life In surance Company, of this city, by which the latter assumes all the liabilities of the former, including claims for policies already matured by death. This contract, we are assured, has been made under the direction of the Supremo Court, and has already been approved by tho State Superintendent of Insurance; so that, in the judgment of this officer, all the policy holders of the company are doubtless secured. The reinsurance of these risks has been ac complished with promptness. It will not, in deed, prevent losses. Doubtless a great num ber of policies have already been permitted to lapse since discredit was first thrown on the Farmers' and Mechanics' Company. Few men -will continue t pay premiums in order to main tain their claims against an association which is confessedly bankrupt. It is probably this diminution of the number of policies, Vy for feiture, that alone justifies "the Empire" Com pany In reinsuring the risks that remain. An amendment of our insurance laws is to be deBired, so that hereafter, when a life insur ance company's reserve begins to be imperilled, the Superintendent may be authorized to com pel that company to reinsure its risks at once, In some oilice to be approved by him, without the delay or expense of a receivership, and -without euch legal proceedings as will make a panic among the policy-holders. COOLIE LIBOR. Xlovr the Aborigines are Tnken la A Guano J aland aa a Land ot" f routine. A sailor writes to the Troy Times that the hardest part of the work at the Chincha Islands Is done by the coolies, who are Induced by false representations to enter the service. They imagine that they are going to a "land of pro mise," and tney agree to serve nve years in order to pay for their passage. But they are doomed to grievous disappointment, and find themselves prisoners on the islands, where few ever survive the specified apprenticeship. They labor about six hours a day, which is a severe task in so hot a place. But little care is taken of them. They are fed on fish and other cheap food, and live in little cabins. To make them work they are supplied with strong drink, which hastens their end, and when they die they are buried among the guano, which soon consumes the bodies and transforms them to Us own nature. The guano is put into sacks and is sent down from the heights in long "chures" made of timber, and when it arrives a bag will be put on the head of a coolie, who will carry it to the boat. It is thus taken to the ship, which will be loaded In a week. The coolies, in addition to whisky, consume a great deal of opium, which la brought there for their use. They smoke rather than chew it, and most of them are opium emokers a habit which few ever break off, and which is in the highest. degree destructive. A CRUEL FARMER. Shameful Outrage Upon Small Boys. A farmer at Johnsonburg, Warren county, New Jersey, last week came to Philllpsburg with a sleigh-load of apples. After he had dis posed of his aoDlcs. he invited all the small boys that he saw to get iuto his sleigh, telling tbem that he would give them a sleigh-ride and bring them right back. He succeeded in getting In his sleigh nine boys, whose ages ranged from eight to ten years, and took them as far as Rox burg, a distance of twelve miles. Here he told them to get out and go into a hotel and warm themselves. They did so, thinking that he in tended to take them back home. No sooner had they got into the hotel than the farmer whipped up his horses and left the boys to walk home. They started on their journey through the deep snow, and succeeded for awhile to get along finely, but two of the smallest boys became very tired and nearly frozen, and when within eight of Harmony, they could go no fur ther, and i-auk down into'the snow. The others, seeing their condition, went to a hotel in Har mony and got some men to go buck after the two boys; when the men reached them they were found asleep and frozen nearly to death. l'AlSFUL OCCTIKKKXCE. A Babe Nuiothered to Death by tin Pareuta Had t criutnatloB vl' a Mlelch Ulde. On Friday evening last a babe whose parents reside near lrwina Station, Westmorelaud county, Fa., was smothered to death under the most distressing circumstances. The father and mother, it appears, accompanied by their child, aged about two months, started fora sleigh ride, with the intention of visiting a friend residing a few miles distant from their own home. The - little thing had been bundled up in the most careful manner to protect it from the cold. The parents left home In the highest spirits, and. as Ihe sleighing was excellent, the ride was an ex ceedingly pleasant one. The weather was cold, however, and fearing that the child might take cold, the mother thought she would not remove the wrappings until she reached their destination. When they arrived at the house the child was carried in, and when the wrappings were taken off the mother was horrified by the eight which pre- . a IioaH The r-lilM wan nutte ripftd BCllbCU ifcoi-.. - i ...

The playgoers of Philadelphia will on this occasion have an opportunity to show their appreciation of Mr. Davenport as an actor, a manager, and a gentleman, and a house crowded from pit to tlomo may bo expected. Mr. Davenport, since lie has had the inauagemcnt of the Cbesnut In bis bands, has greatly advanced his already high reputation, and with the excellent company he has gathered about him he has given a series of entertainments that have been witnessed with great pleasure by largo and fashionable audi ences, lie deserves the encouragement a crowded house this evening will give him, and we are pleased to believe that tho complimen tary benefit will be of a mo6t substantial char acter. On Monday next Foster's spectacular drama of The Old Man of the Mountain will be pro duced in handsome style, with new scenery, appointments, etc. At the Walnut Misss Leona Cavcnder will appear lor the last time this evening in the drama of Minnie's Luck.

In selecting parts to please himself, Mr. Fech ter docs not always satisfy the public. Don Ccrsar, whatever its merits as a play, and how ever popular it may have been at one time, is perfectly familiar to play-goers in general, and Mr. Fechter made no more nor less than many an artist who has preceded him on our boards. As if satisfied of this in advance, the play going public was not numerously represented at the Opera House last night: nor did the select audience that was present, though well pleased, manifest any very great degree of enthusiasm.

How often la it remarked that we do not fully esti mate the value of true excellence until it Is removed from us! It is then that memory recalls many a virtue that was hidden from us by the modesty ot its possessor, or which we failed to notice among the many kindred developments with which we were so constantly brought in contact. These tnougnts were sag cested by the recent demise of Mr. Peter Rlchines-Puget, who departed this life Janaary 18, at his farm, near Media, Delaware county, Pa. The various sketches of his life and character that have appeared in the public prints have, by their truthfulness, done honor to the departed and those who prepared them. It would, therefore, seem almost superfluous to add anything to what has been alread written. But as, In the natural world. there are many hpsniJes added to those aires ly developed, and which retire the mlorosnops for thrlr unfolding, so In human character, when the higher tests are applied to IN there are often excel lencies unfolded which even excel those which have secured our admiration. Thus It was with Mr. Kiohlng. Engaged through a l"ng life In a profes sion Id which some have thought It was next to Im possible them should be a maintenance of ths higher characteristics of our nature, ho beautifully showed bow truth fnllj he spoke who said, "Honor and nhame from an condition riis: Aot well 'oar part, for there kit honor lies." By Ms manly, unflinching coarse of rectitude through the whole of his professional life, he chal lenged the world to find a stain upon his character, and proved that the profession of his choice pre sented no necessary obstacle to the exercise of high moral excellence. Bnt it was when the high test of spiritual experience was applied to Mr. Klchings that it was seen, In addition to tho well-known excellencies of his moral character, he possessed tlim oeanty of holiness so essential to our pafety, for without It "no man can sen the Lord." Among the many valuable traits of his character It was this that so peculiarly attracted the attention of the present writer. Ills regular attendance at ehnrch, his devotion during the services, his con stant readiness to give of his labor and snbstanie for the extension of Christ's Kingdom, and then his pence and quiet trust In his Havionr, added to tho spirit of prayer, which characterized his last sick ness, all tend to show tbat he was one of Christ's redeemed children, and that his ram II y, his friends, and the Church have met with no orllnary los In his removal ; and It is, though a mournful, yet a pleas ing task to otTer this tribute to his memory by t stor.

The pine tree has long been known to pos sess valuable medical properties. For pul monary diseases it is doubtful whether any remedy has as yet been disooverod equal t It seems to change and renew the rery structure on which it acts, and to infuse into the system an indescribable power equal to the natural power before disease had even taken hold of the body, so as to make, as it were, an entirely new tissuo, and to give a newness of life and energy which one wh has been sick a long time know3 the value ot ut cannot fully describe. The great objeo- tion, however, to all tar preparations has been their unpleasant taste, and consequent lia bility to sickness and nauseate the stomaoh. We have before us, however, a preparation of the kind referred to, whioh obviates all these objections, and is as agreeable to the palate as it is valuable in the cure of disease. We mean 'Dr. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial,' a real, genuine, bona Jide medioinal cordial. dinlilled from the pine tree bv a prooesa known only to the Doctor himself, the sale and popularity of which are only equalled by the amount of suffering it has relieved, and the nnmber of diseases it is so well calculated to effectually cure. In the Pine Tree Tar Cordial the invalid may be sure he has remedy of very extraordinary power for throat and lung affections, and when taken in con junction with the "Great American Dyspepsia Pills," an infallible cure for dyspepsia, liver complaint, sick headache, and the many ail ments arising from a disordered state of the livtr and digestive organs. In our sphere as publishers we feel some degree of cautiousness in what we reoommend to our readers, but "when wo know of any thing of value to the publio we Bhall not hesi tate to make it known through our oolumns. We advise those of our readers who are suffer ing from dyspepsia, etc, to give Dr. WishartVr celebrated remedies a trial. A medioal expert, holding honorable oolle giate diplomas, devotes his entire time to the examination of patients at the offioe parlors. Associated with him are three consulting phy sicians of acknowledged eminence, whose ser vices are given to the publio free of charge. This opportunity is offered by no other in stitution in the country. Thousands of certificates of absolute cure (when all else failed to afford rolief), as will as recommendatory letters without number, have been received by Dr. Wishart, the pro prietor, attesting the uniform success with which they have been employed. Many of said letters are from the highest source, in cluding eminent statesmen, Governors, State judges, clergymen, etc. men alow to be con vinced, prejudiced perhaps at first, but feel ing themselves under a sense of duty bound to tell the Doctor what they had done for them and to recommend them to others. The Great American Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial are Bold by all druggists throughout the world. They can also be obtained at Dr. WISIURT'S GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE STORE, No. 232 North 6ZCOND Street, Philadelphia, where a successful practising physician can be consulted each day, free of charge.
