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

yONSCIENTIOUS SCRUPLP.B.—A bill will
shortly be reported- by the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, providing for the payment of an equivalent
for services by those who were exempt from the
draft under the clause of the Constitution of this
•State which provides that those who conscienti
ously scruple to bear arms shall not be compelled to
.do so, but flail pay an equivalent for personal ser
vices. Many were exempted under this clause, but
the "equivalent" had never been fixed or any offi
cer appointed to receive it. By the new bill the
equivalent will be graduated by the ability to pay,
ranging from $66 to $660.

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.

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

and much beloved and respected.
His name stands upon the roll of honor.

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

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

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.

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. •
