NW NW SW by 6..SWIlw„„w A CHAPTER ON LOCl)i3Ts.♦The locust it is said, will be on hand this year, as 1363 is the seventeenth year since their last appearance. From notes taken at the following dates, we learn that these Pharoah locusts made their appearance ion the wing play 19, 1846; on the 22d, commenced singing; on the 31st, commenced boring trees and laying eggs. On June 6th, they commenced dying, the males brat, and, by the 28th of the same month, they were all dead. The Greeks, it seems, were fonder of the locusts than Americans are. They im prisoned them in cages and listened to their songs. A pet locust they treated like a pet canary. They styled him the nightingale of the nymphs, the sweet prophet of summer, the lover of the muses. The French have tested the edibility of frogs; the Greeks and Romans proved that of locusts. The old .heathens gratified their ears and palates in the same breath. They first listened to the locust, then they .swallowed him. Anacreon praises them greatly; Anaxagoras, alluding to the males only possessing 'the power of song, satirically remarks : 'ffaPPr tho Cicadas' lives, f3ttice they 1111 have volueleas wives." When roasted, the female, before she laid her eggs, i was said to taste very sweet. The ravages of the locust are world-wide n their notoriety- The unconscious benefits- they. provide are equally no ticeable. The feathered tribe finds very nutritious food in them. One author tells us that in certain localities their bodies teem with oily juices, from which soap Is manufactured. The North American Indians usetito boil locusts, and considered such in sect-squash en extremely palatable article. No fees than eleven species of injurious. insects are specified in the Old Testament. These are all trailed ated from the liebrewby the word locust. The more correct rendering would read grasshopper The promise to restore the yearn which the locust had eaten, Is very large and generous, when the biblical reader remembers the devastation which these 'ma lignant insects dispensed.' Ancient records describe ti:em as very formidable. Pliny says the Indian kinds are three feet long, and their toothed legs were used.by the women for saws. They are also described as being horse-headed, elephant-eyed, bull-necked'," stag-horned, lionosheated, scorpion bellied; eagle-winged, camel-thighed, ostrich-legged, serpent-tailed. The Cyrenaloan law enjoined the destruction, three times a year, of the eggs, their :young, and the perfect insects. Ornsius gives a very doleful account of their doings in the year of the world 3800. St. Aughstine dilates upon an equally dejected occasion. • Indigenous to Arabia, the locusts Miami thence Into Italy, Spain - , France, Germany, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, England, devastating fearfully in their flight, Wallachia, Moldavia, Transylvania, ,and Hungary. Clouds of these inaects are described as being five hundred fathoms wide, three miles long, and four or five hours in passing. At Mahratta, an army of red locusts is vouched for as composing a column five hundred miles long. These were an il lustration of the Locusta Migratoria. Dr. Clarke affirms that the Tartars dreaded both the Locust Tatarica and Dfigratoria, and JVIr. Barrow gives a similar account of his experiences in Africa. The orange and pomegranate trees of Morocco, and in the south of Europe the olive and the ash; are fed upon by these insects. The tamarind trees of Mt. Sinai are likewise thug visited. All species have an inflected snout, short cretaceous antenna:, four membranaceous• wings, and six feet. The males make music by means of an extended membrane on the under side of the abdomen. By the rapid vibra tion of this membrane the sharp, shrill sound is pro duced. The locusta of the United States do not compare In their devastating influence with the locusts of antiquity. They are both harmless and lovely ; their song is pleasing. They boast two pairs of strong jaws stomach of extraordinary capacity and power, hind legs adapted for leaping, and ample vans which catch the wind like sails. The red-eyed cecails, commonly known as the seventeen-years looust, has awakened much speculation and contra diction. It is the popular belief that this species appears in 'the places once every seventeen years. Many authors back this belief, and many contradict it. The species appeared in' immense quantities in Pennsylvania in-11129. The name quantity appeared in 1894, and another very large swarm in 1843. This would seem .to contradict the common opinion. Fact and fancy are frequently at variance, and, if fancy has been active in this• matter, they will pro bably be found in opposition in regard to proof. The cicadae, in a larva state, live for two years in the ground. 'When fully. develaPed,. they possess many remarkable peculiarities. Long ago, the noise they made was compared- to a flame driven by the wind. Their bite was said to be like fire. The prophet - Joel's description of the appearance and ravages of these terrific insects is the most sublime and correct anywhere to be found. Their ability to cross the sea, like all their other mentioned attri butes, is mentioned by some writers, and denied by others. It depends upon the species and the age of the insect, the state and direction of the wind. Their course, of flight is said variously to be in a - meridian line from south to north, from north to south, from east to west, and from west to east. In Syria, the }Whew of Tripoli once raised four thou sand soldiers to fight against the locusts. He or dered all the men to be hung who refused to serve under the circumstances. The method of driving them by branches into deep trenches, and then suf locating them with earth,' has been employed with some success, both abroad and in this country. A . shower of them is said to have fallen not very many years ago in latitude 18° north, filling the sails, rigging, deck, and cabin. There are fish stories - and also locust stories. There is truth enough about the genus to provide material for honest specula tion3.there is beauty enough about all the species to afford some compensation for the comparatively i mall evils which at this period and in this country hey sometimes inflict.' SPECULATION IN WOOLEN AND COTTON GOOML—Cotton and woolen goods are selling quickly and at large profits. Everything that has a substantial value in its relation to the common wants of life is. going up in price, and everybody that deals in merchandise is making money. Gold is rising, and everything that has a value in gold is rising with it. The poor man's comforts, coffee, tea, sugar, a little tobacco, sad such things. are get ting to be the rich men's luxuries, and with cotton at a dollar a pound, it looks as - if a cotton shirt might become an old wife's myth. Wool is cheaper than cotton, but it is on the advance, and has doubled In value within a year. There is, however, a better prospect for a supply of wool than of cot ton, and men of slender means and fixed incomes may find some comfort in the reflection that ~ an old cloak makes a new jerkin: , . But business is good, and the profits of speculation are large. Some day the bubble inflation will break. Every man must guess for himself when that will happen. In the meantime, on this smooth wave of apparent prosperity, it is prudent to keep an eye out for rocks and breakers. An accident has carried up cotton and cotton goods sod everything else. Another ac cident may carrf them down. THE TOBACCO CROP. The Pennsylva nia tobacco crop this year, it is said, has proved quite successful. ?In Lancaster county the leaf to bacco business has increased very largely within the last few years, and vast sums have been expended in the purchase of the leaf in that county. Besides those who purchase on their own account, there are those, who buy largely on commission, generally taking a contract to furnish a certain quantity, and receiving a fixed percentage for their services. The prices this year are much higher than they were last, and sales do not appear quite so brisk, although we hear of some heavy purchases. The price, paid are generaUy from sixteen to eighteen cents per pound, yet these are frequently varied by the quality of the article olibred, Holders, in some instances, appear to be holding back for a higher figure, but buyers do not seem willing to advance any ; in fact, some ap pear to be quite indifferent as to buying at the above rates. The crop last year was heavy, and, notwith standing that a great deal has been bought up this season already, we are informed that Uwe is yet plenty in the growers' hands. THE LATE How. HOPEWELL TfRPBURII. —Yesterday, In the Supreme Court, the death of ex-Judge Hopewell Hepburn, of this State, was an nounced by Dlr. Parsons. Judge Hepburn was for many years an associate judge of District Court of Pittsburg, and when his commission expired he re turned to the bar, where his talents as a lawyer gained for him an extensive and lucrative practice. For a year past he has resided In Philadelphia, and has been in feeble health, On Saturday evening he ex r. Parsons, who was. related to the deceased, spoke in feeling terms of his integrity and high sen,,se of honor as displayed in all his professional .dealings. Chief Justice Lowrie responded, and expressed his sorrow at the announcement of the decease of Judge Hepburn, an he had known him while on the bench, and could testify to his pure life and impar tiality as &Judge. A suitable minute was ordered to be entered on 'the records. THE " BUCHTAILS."—The following is.nn extract from a Washington letter, dated Feb. 13th : We are informed by Lieut. A. S.

TILE UNITED STATES • SAVING FUND The investigation into the affairs and management of this concern has been pushed vigorously, and a great many interesting developments made, going to show the causes of the failure. Many of the most important facts we have had in our possession some ..time, but have delayed their publication in order not to interfere with the course of justice. On Mon day of last week, the 9th int., the following me mortal was read in the Senate, by Hon. Jeremiah Nichols, from the gentleman who has been conduct ing the investigation. We copy it from the Legista• live Record of Tuesday last : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Com monwealth of Pennswlvanfa: The memorial of Hugh F. Kennedy, a citizen of Philadelphia, respectfully represents That he is a depositor in the Saving Fund of the United States Insurance, Annuity, and Trust Com pany, a corporation of this Commonwealth, and that the officers of said corporation have refused to pay him the amount justly due hies, upon legal demand made, as required by the rules established by said corporation and extensively published; and, further, he is advised and believes that the Bald corporation is not possessed of any real estate, or sufficient as sets to pay its depositors. That many citizens of this Commonwealth having, by denyin g themselves the luxuries of life, laid up a portion of g their hard earning') as a store for old age or adversity are, by the conduct of the °Mears of said corporation, thus deprived unjustly and illegally, In some Instances, of their only means of support, and reduced from comparative competency to a state or almost destitution. That the assets of said corporation comprise notes and other evidences of indebtedness of insolvent persona and corporations, worthless paper such as no business man of ordinary discretion and judgment would accept. Said list of assets also showing that the directors of said corporation, some of whom, if not all, are insolvent, have loaned themselves large sums of money withoutsecurity, which loans* have never been repaid. Your memorialist respectfully suggests that this is a culpable use of the funds entrusted to said corpo ration. . And your memorialist further represents that said corporation has exeraised divers powers and privi leges not authorized by its charter or the laws of this Commonwealth regulating such institutions. That the representations made by advertisements in the public newspapers, and circulars, and pamph lets, freely distributed by the company, even after refusing to repay your memorialist and others their deposits (with a list of apparently substantial and solid directors), were either false and made for the purpose of gaining possession of the money of dep. Wore,. or there has been gross dereliction of duty and mismanagement on the part of the officers, or malapproprialion of the funds. In either case, your memorialist respectfully sub mits, eallin4 for legislative interference. . your memorialist further represents that .a number of the persons whose names have been used as directors of this company deny all knowledge of, or connection with, It for some years past, asserting that such use of their names was unauthorized, and done illegally by the officers of said COrp,Hatie!!) fel their own purposes. What these purpoies Were, the amounts of money standing opposite their names on the meagre list of assets, as loans, talhou,l security, may perhaps afford an indication. We know that "rats desert a sinking ship," but whether these directors, knowing the Saving Fund to be in a rotten condition (although to outward appearance healthy and in good circumstances), have, by a mutual understanding, resigned, or pre tended to resign, that they might hold up these pre tended resignations as shields against the sword of Justice when it should descend ; or whether, as they represent, their names were unlawfully used by other parties to enable them .to wrong unsuspecting persons, nothing but a legislative investigation can determine. Such an investigation is urgently needed for the separation of the innocent from the guilty, and to afford your memorialist and others wronged by this corporation the means of having justice done them and the guilty punished. Your memorialist earnestly alike for the appointment of a committee by whom such an investigation may be lawfully conducted. Until this is done, a' judicial trial must be but a farce, with all the evidence, and nearly all the means of obtaining evidence, in the hands of the wrongdoers. And your rnemoralist would further represent, that the said corporation has wronged and injured him and others, by issuing a species of paper pur porting to be a certificate of deposit, but being really in the form of a promise to pay, falsely representing its worth and value; many thousands of dollars worth of such paper being now held by citizens of Philadelphia, and rendered worthless by the refusal • or inability of such corporation to redeem it. Your memorialist does not like to deal in general accusations, but he believes that an investigation ; such as asked for, will reveal a state of itifitire con nected with the management of this institution, as will startle the community. Already your memo rialist is possessed of many facts, a recital of which here would be out of place, but which he desires to lay before a committee of your honorable body, to gether with such other facts as may be brought to light by the slight investigation your memorialist, unarmed with legislative authority, is enabled to give the matter. . And your memorialist will ever pray. HUGH F. KENNEDY. PITILADV:LPIIIA, Jan. 1, 1863. Credit is due Mr. Kennedy, for his manly and fear less exposure of this swindle. An application having been made for a sequestra tion, and the court having, as we understood it, gone so far even as to name a receiver, the institu tion at last made an assignment, naming George W. Wollaston, Esq., as their assignee. The.latter has just filed a list of assets, from which it will be seen that the statements of the above memorial are fully borne out. Upon such a state of facts the Legisla ture will have little trouble in coming to a conclu sion. . The following comprise the entire assets furnished by the directors: 2 notes of the Quaker City Insurance Com pany, endorsed by the Corn Exchange In surance Company $2,293 75 And various others, amounting t 0.... 45,850 03 STOOKS AND BONDS.

Bills Receivable. Stocks and Bonds Miscellaneous.... We are informed that some of these people deny owing the saving fund anything. The Secretary of the Arch street and Fairmount Passenger Railway Company denies the liability of that company, as serting on the contrary, that the trust company owes them, and that if there is any such note from them, as appears on the list of assets, it is a "false issue," heretofore unknown to him. A. further com plication Is likely to arise from this. It is certainly singular.if the saving fund has never attempted to collect this "asset' from the railway company, which professes to be able to pay all its debts. It is a singular fact that this "saving fund" ap pears to have been incorporated as an ordinary fire insurance company, and its right to do various, acts, which it has always done unquestioned, (because no one was sufficiently interested), will become a sub ject for future trial probably. B. Franklin Jackson, James Devereux, and Wil liam N. G oodwin , whose names figure largely as borrowers are directors, Devereux being a large en dorser on the " promises to pay," mentioned in Mr. Kennedy's memorial. An odd mode of "making himself whole," as the gathesters have it. The net proceeds of the sale of the property of this imposing institution, by the sheriff, were a little over $6,0001 The list of liabilities has not yet been fished, but there is reason to believe they will not Mil much short of SWO,OOO. • ' The following is a' correct list of the officers of this concern, as published by themselves a day or two before it was sold out by the sheriff: President, Stephen R. Crawford; Vice President, Bern. W. Tingley; Secretary and Treasurer, James R. Hunter. Threctors—Stephen R. Crawford, Wm. M. Godwin, Paul B. Goddard, M. D. Alexander 0. Hart, M. D., James Devereux, Benj. W. Tingley, Daniel Beidelman, Patrick Brady, Thomas L. Lea, Geo. Junkin, B. Franklin Jackson, and Pliny Fisk. Medical Examiners—Paul B. Goddard, M. D., and Alex. C. Hart, N. D. It must be remembered that the company pro fessed to do a life (insurance business, besides the saving fund. If possible, this makes the affair still worse. All the circumstances in connection with it characterize it teethe worst swindle which has yet disgraced our city. The company still keep an office in Forrest place, though for what purpose we are unable to conceive. DEA'ITI OF A MEMBER OF THE ANDERSON ntooe.—Hairy S. Vandyke, ft member of the An derson Troop, died on Sunday, in Hospital No. t 9, at Nashville Tennessee. The deceased was in the 22d year of his age, and much beloved and respected. His name stands upon the roll of honor. r STAIIIPS.—It has been decided that " Ac kncnolegments of Bills of Sale" mortgages, and deeds do not require to be stamped; but any certiticates, which may be neceesary to prove that an acknow ledging officer is qualified to take acknowledgments, require a ten-cent certificate stamp. . THE CITY GAS WORKS!—At the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the 'city gas works, held last Friday evening, Wm. L. Hirst, Esq., was unanimously elected president to serve for the year ensuing. THE BOARD ON SURVEY.—This body met yesterday,' but adjourned without transacting any buaineee of importance. THE POLICE. (Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.] Prompt Arrest of Supposed Thieves. Yesterday afternoon, three young men, one of them sickly looking, were arraigned at the Central Station. They were arrested at the St. Louis Hotel, on Chestnut street, by Detectives Oakum, Carlin, and Henderson. Two gold watches, with chains, and the ambrotypes or daguerreotypes of two females, both pretty good looking, were found upon their persons. There was also found in their room a ~j immy," made in the most approved style—a very convenient article to force open a door, shut ter, or trunk. They arrived in Philadelphia at an early hour on Saturday morning, and took boarding and lodging at the aforesaid hotel. They claim to be gentlemen and perfectly innocent of any intent to commit crime. Two trunks had been broken open in the hotel after the arrival of the defendanta, but they disclaim any knowledge of such a transaction. On being arraigned, one of the party said his name was George Smith. "What is your right namel" inquired the alder. man. • • . " Zdy right name," replied the defendant, some "what hesitatingly, " Is James Scott, but I don't want it in the papers.' The other prisoners gave the names of William H. \Waiting and Thomas Wilson. Q. Was the paper wrapped around the jimmy! A. Yes, sir; it was a piece of the Baltimore Sun, of the date of February tath inst. ; I might say there was an envelope on top of the. wardrobe, full of duet, all tending to show the jimmy had net been there long. The date of the paper is the day the party left for Baltimore. Q. Were there any trunks broken open at the hotel; if eo, when; please state the circumstances! A. Two trunks were forced open—one in room , GO. and the other in room 61; the rooms join each other; they are made of one room partitioned Mr ; • the room occupied by the defendants is from 60 to 10 feet dis tant, on the same floor; there were some slight marks on the trunks, as though they had been forced open, evidently with an iron instrument. Edward Carlin sworn.—Mr. Callanan, Henderson, and myself proceeded to the St. Louis Hotel this afternoon slid arrested the prisoners; I searched this man (Wilson); he had nothing on him; I searched him agatn when we brought him to the office, and found a $5O treasury note in his pocket; it was wet with tobacce; spit, as though he may have had it In his mouth when I searched him before,• we found the jimmy on top of the wardrobe; it had not been there long; the paper wrapped around it bears date of February lath. The evidence here closed, and Wilson said : " We left our room open'all the time, the key sticking in the door all the time; we did not get out of bed until it o'clock yesterday morning." At this stage of the proceedings we understood the. clerk to say the chambermaid could prove that she made up the bed before that time yesterday. One of the prisoner°, who had, probably, not heard the remarks of Wilson, said " the room occupied by them was open all the time, as the door key was lost on Saturday, and not found until this morning, and as for that thing, squire," (alluding to the jimmy) "it would be very easy for anybody to put it on the wardrobe, So as to get us in a difficulty. I am a gas-fitter by trade; have not worked for 12 months; have a bad neck—got the consumption, I suppose; I Game here for medical treatment; went to see a doctor at Eleventh and Walnut streets, this' morning; I am a stranger. in Philadelphia; never was here before." Wilson said he would like to hear some report from the chambermaid ; I have relations in Phila delphia, but I don't want to see any of them.' Somebody remarked to the sick man "that he looked like a thief." ."You are no gentlemen," replied the accused. The defendants were committed in default of $l,OOO bail to await a further hearing on next Monday. The : parties were taken into the detectives' room,, accompanied. by the shrewd Mr. Callanan. He 'of fered to send a telegraphic despatch, or write a let ter, to any person or parties in Baltimore whom they might want to communicate with. He did not desire to hold them in a corner, but to give them a chance, and he would be please d to render them any service. Wilson replied, "I would rather have my neck stretched than to let any of my relatives know of this matter. Pm a type founder." . Scott, alias Sniith, had no favors to ask; he was a cabinet maker, and belonged to New York.. Wilkins said he simply came to Philadelphia for medical treatment. The case here rests for the present. We may low thet.SeOtt, alias Smith, is the same itlllivkluar WI; appealed at the Merchants' Hotel, on the Ist of January, and lived very high, inviting friends to dine with him, calling in wine, etc. Ile was then regarded with suspicion, and on the sth of that month found himself in the hands of the police. He made out to .pay his bill, and Was finally Übe rated. After that, we- believe, he made his ante at the Washington House,' where be registered his name as "Henry Smith, of Warrenton." Per haps it would be well for our first-class hotel keepers to be at the final hearing on next Monday. Constitutional Thief. William Clark, a colored boy, twenty years of age, was committed last evening, by Alderman Belt. ler, on the charge of stealing a couple of dresses and a pair of shoes from house 909 Spruce street. He Was employed there • to' do rough work, such as bringing wood . and coal from the cellar. Clark's father was for many yeats employed as - a porter in the store of the gentleman who resides at 909 Spruce street. The son had been in the House of Refuge for several years, and was liberated under the sup position that he had fully reformed. The gentleman who employed him knew this, and, in giving him work by which ho could earn a few honest pennies, simply carried into effect one of the virtues which exalt the Christian character. . After the robbery was ascertained, information .of it was left at the Central Station. Detective Levy examined the Rogues' Gallery, and then made 'a tour among the dark originals of St. Mary street, where he found Clark. The officer also recovered the goods. Disorderly Douse Case. A disorderly house case has also been adjudicated by Mr. Aldernitin 'Realer. Arthur Henry was charged with maintaining a nuisance of this charac ter on Water street, below Callowhill. It was 'at this place where Mr. McCaully was allot by a sol dier who had accompanied the provost guard, about two.montbs sine. It seems that on Friday night a woman named Mary Ann Goss was most inhuman ly beaten at this establishment. Her eyes were blackened, her ears lacerated, and her nose so shook ingly broken as to seriously impair her powers of speech. She alleges that she had gone to the : house in search of her husband, who was in there, and that two women, named Ann Megargee and Mary Ann Henry, had inflicted the injuries. These women were put under $1,200 bail to answer at court. The man whom Mrs. Gout claims as -her husband pro ceeded on Saturday to Alderman Beitler's office and made oath to the disreputable character of the place. A warrant was isaued.. .At the hearing he refused to sustain the warrant.' Ile appeared to be what the law would term an unwilling witness. Mr. Henry, however, was held in the sum of $1,200 to answer at court. On last Friday evening a number of colored resi dents gave a grand promenade concert at Franklin Hall. It seems that during the evening friends re• newed the ties of friendship over favorite drinks. Among the number was Mr. Edward queen a highly-respectable colored gentleman. He was in vited to indulge in a social glass, and could hot well refuse. He stepped up to the bar, leaving a well made overcoat hanging on the back of the settee. When he returned the coat was among the missing. On Saturday, while searching around town for his coat, he discovered it on the back of a Arr. Simpson, a respectable shoemaker, car rying on business on Sixth street. Mr. Simpson was arrested and taken before Alderman White. He made a statement, that a colored man named Edward Thomas had left the coat in his store, on Saturday morning, for safe keeping. The weather being rather cold, and Mr. Simpson having ocoasion to go out for a few minutes, thought he would don the coat.' It was a pretty neat fit. He had not been long in the street before he was accosted by the owner. He told *dilatory with such apparent sin cerity, the alderman was inclined to listen to him. The case was, therefore , - held under advisement ; Simpson entering bail. At a later period Edward Thomas was taken into custody, and introduced to the magistrate. There were two shoemakers at work in the store, both of whom testified that Thomas had left the coat there. The prisoner finally made a full acknowledgment of the fact. He was committed in default of 181,000 bail to answer. Another Larceny Case. $31,767.59 Edward Parnell and John Lee, both colored, were arraigned yesterday before the same alderman on the charge of the larceny of five dollars and a num ber of meal bags. Enoch Alberson, who resides at 1227 Lombard street, is a dealer in flour and meal. He employed Lee to do some work for him. On Saturday he gave him five dollars and some bags to go after some flour. He did not return, with either flour or money. On Sunday night he was arrested at Sixth and Lom bard streets. Parnell was in his company, and had one of the bags. These are about all the facts de veloped. Both of the defendants were committed in default of $l,OOO bail to answer at court, Larceny under , the Revised Penal Code. II Bernard Becker was arraigned before Mr. Alder man White on the charge of the larceny of a coat, the property of a man named Martin Connor. It seems that Connor boarded with Mr. Hummel], at 881 Oallowhill street, and owed for two weeks' board. Ile desired to attend a funeral on Sunday, and, in order to make a respectable appearance, took his coat to Mr. Becker on Saturday to have it "done %in. , ' It seems , that Hummel' discovered where he had taken the coat, and, on Saturday, went to the tailor's and demanded it. The tailor gave it to him. On Saturday night Mr.- Connor, the owner, went after the coat, when he learned that it had already been given to hie landlord. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the tailor, and yesterday he was arraigned before the alderman, who held him to bail to answer. $59,446 94 • $48,850 03 31,757 511 59,445 91 $140,063 66 LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. United States District Court—Judge Cad- wnlader. COMMENCEMENT OF TEE FEBRUARY TERM. The February term of this court commenced yester day ramming, but no business of moment was trans acted, and the court adjourned at an early hour. Jno. Brodhead, Eau., was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury. The petit' jurors were discharged until this morning. Supreme Court of Petmsylvinia—Chief Juts- Use Lowrie and Justices Woodward, Thompson, Strong, and Rend. The following opinions were read by the court yesterday : THE CASE OF COUNCILMAN DUFFIELD - DECISION OF THE COMMON PLEAS AWAHOING A MANUA. NUS ItYNItRSED Adams vs. Duffield. Opinion of the court by Low rie, C. J. We have no doubt that the Common Pleas has jurisdiction by mandamus over municipal as well as over county or township officers ; yet we cannot sanction the mode in which that court die posed of this case. The case was not at issue when rt was decided. The defendants had made their re turn, and according to the form prescribed by the statute, and insisted on by us in the case of Thomas vs. The Commissioners, 8 Casey, 218, it was then the duty of the plaintiff "to demur, plead to, or tra verse all or any of the material facts contained in such return," and he did nothing of the kind. He moved to disallow the return, and enter judgment in his favor, and this was done. We cannot sanction this practice, for it leaves it entirely uncertain on what grounds the case was decided ; it leaves the defendants uninformed of the nature of the objections to be raised to the return, and takes away their right to amend their return in the regular course of pleading. The questions which might be raised on the me rits of this ease are, tliesfore, not regularly before us, and we can decide none of them. But it has been shown to us that the mandamue was obeyed, and the relator was afterwards re moved on motion and hearing, and as the regularity of that motion cannot be tried on this writ,there fore it is not proper to send this cause back for fur ther proceedings. If the parties desire to try the main questions properly that were discussed here, they must begin anew. Judgment reveraexi. • Franklin Fire Insurance Company vs. 111111..
