Tn the Philadelphia Courts last week an Important decision was made affecting the rights of passengers in railroad cars and the duty of railroad companies to find seats for those they agree to carry. Some six years ago William B. Levan, formerly a citizen of this place, but then and now a resl bent of Philadelphia, purchased a ticket and entered a passenger car on the Pennsylvania Railroad. lie showed his ticket to the conductor and demanded a seat, but as the ordi nary cars on the train were full that could not be given him. He then en tered a Pullman palace car and found a vacant seat which he occupied. For this the usual additional fare was de manded, whicli ho refused to pay, de claring that his ticket entitled him to a seat on the train. In consequence of his refusal to pay this additional fare ho was put oft" the train by the conductor at a place many miles from human habitation and Buffered, con siderable hardship in searching for shelter from the storm which was at the time prevailing. He sued the eompany for damages, and last, week, after a lapse of more than six years, he secured a verdict for $8,500, the court having directed the jury to find in hi. favor, as railroad companies were bound to furlsh a seat to every pas senger to whom they sold a ticket. Button Sentimd A leading southern authority, which ha been making a careful ex amination of the statistics of insanity, declares that few people are aware of the extent to which this disease pre vails in this country. There are in the (,'nited Kates no less than 40,000 Idiots beings incapable of self-protection, self-guidance and self sustenance. Tohem the changeful beauty of the earth and glory of the heavens arc no more than they are -to the sow that wnllowcth in the mire. Indeed, in many respects, including intelligence, they are decidedly Inferior to the brutes that perish. How terrible the responsibility in the premises for thus shutting out the light from im mortal souls besdalizing what should be the Creator's likeness! Then, for every idiot there are at least two maniacs, und for every recognized maniac, and for every recognized Maniac there are half a dozen on the verge of insanity or partially insane. But insanity is not always danger ous It sometimes consoles. Itself by its own gorgeous fautastics and is sur rounded by all the wonders of imagin ary wealth. When the mental faculties alone are affected there may be a lamentable lack of coherence, but nothing in the way of destructive violence. Moral insanity on the con tray, is fierce, mischievous and venge ful. Its aberrations are invasions, its frenzy ferocious. Sometimes the whole mental and moral nature be comes deranged, and in that case the fierceness of the tiger is intensified by the fury of the demon. Nothing is then left of humanity but the mere form, and even that is disfigured by gross and unnatural distortions. There has been a remarkably rapid increase In idiocy and insanity during the later years of our nation's life. The Impoverishment of the old planter classes In the south and the excite ineuts consequent upon emancipation among the colored people have both proved seriously productive of in sanity. More especially has this been the case since the panic of 1873 com menced. Throughout ail the south ren states the statistics show a decided increase of insanity during the last three years, as well among blacks as whites, aud after every Presidential election a new crop of mauics turns up lb a result of intense political excite ment, and the disappointments with which such excitement is Invariably followed. WiUiamsport Gazelle & Bulletin. Lingham & Morgan, of Bellville, Canada, had ou exhibition in the North Philadelphia drove yard 60 fat catce, averaging 2.10 pounds each, ti.t- largest weighing 2,470 pounds.

Hon. W. tt. Slater was elected to fill tho vacancy, receiving 81 votes to 19 for Charles It. Cutler, the Democratic candidate. The Erie Observer sheds the follow ing light upon the points In contro versy in the estate of the late General Reed, of that city. Miss Nellie Reed died before her father the late General C. M. Reed. His sickness prevented him from changing his will, and after his death It was found that he had be queathed one-sixth of the estate to the deceased daughter. The question that arose in legal circles was whether tlic widow could have any share in the distribution of Nellie's property. The Court below decided that she could not. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which has recently reversed the opinion of the Court be low. By this decision Mrs. General Reed becomes entitled to one-third of tho amount bequeathed to her daughter, and the remaining two thirds will be divided among the other children. The estate is valued at $12, 600,000, making ho amount in contro versy $2,100,000.
