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.

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-

benefit of Mr. Davenport, who will appear as
"Rolando," In Tobln's comedy of The Honey
moon, nnd as "William," lu Douglas Jerrohi's
nautical drama of Jilack-Kyed Susan. 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

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.

OBITUARY.
"Tb memory of the just is blessed."
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 MEDICAL PRO
PERTIES OF TAR.
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.
