The case was that of Milly Thomas vs. Fatrick Keagan. It was shown that one Letitia Speak was formerly a slave in Charles county, Md., where she married one Joseph Speak, after the manner of slaves, he being owned by a_ neighboring planter, and they had seven or eight ohildren. Some of these children were sold "to Georgia." The mother purchased her freedom aud came to "Washington, aud subsequently bought her husband and brought him to here, where he lived as her husband and slave till 1K5G, when he died. She acquired property on Third street, botwcen G and H streets northwest, and left it by will to her daughter Winny Aun, during her life. Reagan obtained the title by purchase at a trustee's sale under a deed of trust from Winnie Ann. The latter having died, Milly Thomas sues as the sole heir of Letitia Speak. The defendant raised the point that the plaintiff, to recover, must show wh»t became of her brothers and sisters, and the plaintiff claims that they not having been heard from for seven years, are to be regarded as dead. The court ruled that the jury might from the proof of cohabitation iufer that the Speaks were married according to the custom in vogue among slaves, and that the acts of Congress legalized their marriages. He also ruled that seven years' absence, and no kuwledge having been received of those having been sold away, was presumption that they were dead. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for one-half the land. A Check to Triule. Coats, worth $8.00 aod $9.00, For $2.75 and 3.50 "After walking about a mile I turned round to speak to Carlo, the dog, but the animal was nowhere in sight. I called him, but he did not come. Thinking he would soon reappear, I went on alone. I saw some wild dowers and stopped to pick thorn. As 1 raised my head I saw several yards distant what I supposed to be the dog. 'Come, old fellow,' I celled. There was some hesitation, but it came closer and closer, but not until it was nearly upon me did I realize that I was almost in the clutches of a big black bear. I don't know anything after that. Mr.  says he found me perched on the low branches of a tree, nearly dead with fright, while the bear kept watch and guard near by. How I ever got up in the tree I cannot imagine, for I never could climb. Mr. == fired at the animal,but bruin turned tail aud waltzed off into the woods apparently unhurt." It was almost dark when the bachelor and his fair burden arrived at the farm house. Parties had been sen c out to search for the missing ones, and great anxiety had been felt by tha inmates of the farm house. The girl did not recover from the effects of her escapade for several days, during which the officer beguiled the hours to such good purpose that an engagement was announced soon afteward. A large bear was killed in the Stony Clove a few days after the event narrated above. It was supposed to be identical with the one that made the girl "climb a tree." At all events Mr. ===== purchased bruin's shaggy hide, and a soft rug it will make for my lady's ohainber. Rondo ut, N. Y., November 4.—A romance which must result in a fashionable wedding in Brooklyn in the near future, had its foundation the past summer in a Catakill mountain farm house near Hunter, Greene county. The young lady, who is in her teens, is the only daughter of a prominent Brooklyn man. She is beautiful and accomplished. The prospective groom is about 39 years of age, but his stern, settled manner makes him appear older. Up to a few months ago he was considered to be a confirmed old bachelor, crusty withal, and misanthropical in his views of life. Last June he was advised by a physician and his friends to give up business for a while and seek rest in some quiet spot among the montains. Very reluctantly be made preparations. A pleasant farm bouse near Hunter was selected. Among the few other boarders at the house were two ladies from Brooklyn, mother and daughter. The daughter was given to whist playing ; go was the bachelor. The girl was fond of long, solitary walks ; the bachelor had a similar weakness. One day the girl had a thrilling experience, an account of which was published in the Sun at the time. The young lady went out one afternoon in company with a large Newfoundland dog, for a stroll through the celebrated Stony Clove, declaring as she left the house that she would bring home a chunk of ice, and,perhaps a snaw ball, from the cave where ice is found all the year round. The Clove is but a short distance from the house, so no objection was raised to her proposed expedition. On her return, the girl related he adventure as follows: f)R. S. C.

MORRISON, [Bristol observer.] The depths of wickedness to which even a Quaker child can sink make one readily believe in tho doctrine of total depravity. Two little Quakers quarreled, and after saying words at each other,one of them, in a tremendous burst of rage, with clenched fist and blazing eyes, shouted : "Thee's you." The other boy looked at him in borritted silence. Then he solemnly said : "I shall go and tell mother that then swored."

New York, November 5.—Special telegrams to Bradatrcet's record a more widespread check to the movement of general merchandise heretofore noted, due, in almost all instances, to the combined influence of the election and continuation of unseasonably warm weather, The only exceptions are Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Joseph, where no special chauge is announced. Mercantile collections are easier at St. Louis, fair at Burlington aud St. Joseph, at New Orleans more difficult, at Kansas City falling off, at Cincinnati and Peori notably slow. The dry goods trade appears to feel the halt in buying as much as any line. Sales at Boston are less than for several preceeding weeks. Prices are held steady, and on some brands of cottons are higher. Kaw wool is quiet. There is an increased activity, and prices generally are well held, though soft in spots. Fiue medium aud territory wools are noticeably weaker. Mile t.lo|»ed with a Xcgro. And Furnishing Goods of which we have but little left will and must go.

The sudden death on Tuesday at San Maroial of the Spanish interpreter made Mangua sullen, and be took it to heart greatly. This supposed to have caused the fit of desperation which seized him. The rest of the Apaches set np a roar, but each was guarded by a negro with a cocked carbine. For a while bedlam prevailed, bnt Magnus was finally stretched across two seats with the bell cord wound around him all the way up his legs and body. Dknvkr,November 4.—A Pueblo (Col.) special says: Mangus, an Apache chief, in charge of a detachment of colored troops on the way to Florida, attempted to escape near Pueblo this morning. When the train was three miles east of Pueblo and running 40 miles au hour, Mangus asked permission to go iuto the saloon, which was granted. As soon as he entered he locked the door, smashed the glass iu the window and leaped out. The train ran nearly a mile before it could be stopped. When it backed up Mangus was found lying beside the track, unconscious and badly cnt and bruised, three ribs being broken. He was taken aooard the cars, and when he came to his senses he made a desperate fight. One band slipped out of the manacles, leaving them hanging to the other hand. He slugged one of the soldiers with the iron, knocking him down. Then he got on the floor and thence under a teat, straggling with half a dozen soldiers and howling. St. ELMO STORE JOHN T.

The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms of a weak state of the gastric organs is 'a disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restoreequilibrinm to the great centre. A most relialile medicine for the purpose is Hosteter's Stomach Bitters, which is far prefable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics, which, though they may for a timo exort a soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injure the tone of the stomach. TUe Bitters, on the contrary, restore activity to the operations of that all important organ, and their benetleent influence is reflected in sound sle»p and a tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetuous is likewise given to the action of the liver and bowels by its tine. 21 In alarm the victims summoned a large number of citizens, who came armed. The Annvillk, Pa., Novembers.—A gaug of 10 desperate tramps full of liquor came into this village late last night, entered the saloon of Pfter Bachman, and with chairs and spittoons made a general assault on the proprietor and a few other men who were thlre. In a short time the place was wrecked and gutted. Haverstraw, N. Y., Nov. 7.—Mrs Jackson, a handsome brnnette, left her busband's house here last Tuesday, and Ephraim Emson, a colored farm-hand, who is as black as charcoal, also disappeared. Mrs. Emson moved here with her husband two years ago, and joined the Methodist church. She became a leader in church work, and entered good sooiety, A month ago Mr. Jackson, who is employed in New York, engaged Emson to do some gardening for him. During Mr. Jackson's absenco in. New York, Emson was oftener in the house than in the garden. The neighbors began to talk of his attentions to Mrs. Jackson, and of her willing acceptance of thera.
