CENTRE Liability of Telegraph Companies for dict of $6,600, with Interest, in Fa- vor of Pittsburghers, The case of Waring et al. vs. The United states Telegraph Company® which has been on trial in the Court of Common Pleas, New York, for seve- ral days, was concluded on Friday. The plaintiffs claimed $9,334 dama- ges for the failure of the defendants to transmit telegraphic messages in De- cember, 1864, from Pittsburgh to New York, ordering the sale of petroleum oil. It wasshown by evidence on the part of the plaintiffs that they were as- sured the dispatches woulc be in New York in one hour from the time they were received. The defendants claimed that the failure to send them arose fram causes beyond their con- trol, and that they were not, therefore, liable. The court charged the jury that the evidence did not justify any contract of insurance in the case guar- an'eeing the transmission at all haz- ards within one hour. The conversa- tion testified to did not amount to that, whatever the effect of it might be as to the question of negligence. The only questions to be considered were those of negligence and of damages. i The New York Times of Saturday, | in commenting on this case, remarks | and furnishes a warning which all our | telegraph companies will do well to | head.

This is a very different condition of things ‘than was promised the people of that section by the radi. cal newspapers, and it will be a most terrible lesson to the radical farmers who so persistently vote to enslave themselves to the bondholders. Since the election of Grant wheat has gone down, but bonds have gone up.

On closer inspection they proved to be greenbacks, which had been clipped into pieces by the picker. The man picked up a hat full of these scraps, but instead of fitting them to- gether, gave them a friend as relics of a fertune that had run through the mill.—=The scraps are of bills of the denominations of 85, $10, $20, 850, and 100, and an estimate made from the quantity of pieces found indicates that not less than $3,000 was in the “rag-picker.” ney getting into the picker is, that the coat which contained the money was was one of a lot of soldiers’ blouses which were collected at different points, and that the money was sewed in the breast of a blouse which belonged to an officer who had died in a hospital and the secrets of the greenbacks died with him. li Mp et “Mrs. H., do you take cream in your tea?’ “No, I thank you, the superfluity ofmilk, added to the fla- vority of the heat, renders the con- glomeration insnpportably obnoxious to my diabolical appetite.’ ————— slp &- x - “A woman's mouth should be “sem- per partus’-always ready to be kissed, for it stands a sort of a guard over the breast-works, and is generally attacked first and sometimes very suddenly.
