TERES HAUTE, INDIANA.

Thursday Morning, Dec. 21, 1871.

THE Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently gave a decision in an insurance case, where the office refused to pay policy because the assured had given no notice, which it had provided for, that he had changed his occupation or business, While on a visit to his .grandfather he assisted in hauling in some hay, and while doiug so received an injury from which he died. The Court held that there had been no change in his occupation within the meaning of the policy, and that such a construction would be unreasonable and absurd, and would prevent the Insured from performing any aat or service outside his regular business or avocation without rendering the policy null and void.

"Jonrnal'a" moral perception is

such that It sees no difference between drawing money from the State Treasury in strict compliance with an act of the Legislature, and drawing money from the same source by peijnry-swearing to fictitious accounts. To most men there is just the difference in the two acts that there is between an honest transaction and a felony. »-w

crushing in of the roof of the Sar

atoga iron depot reminds the Cincinnati "Times and Chronicle" of an interesting incident of the first iron depot built in this country—that at Troy, New York. The subject of iron braces and ties was not so thoroughly understood then as now, Mr. STEPHENSON not having made his famous experiments in the contraction and expansion of iron by cold and heat. It so happened that a student of the Troy Polytechnic School was given the new depot as a subject for his graduating thesis, and he took occasion to state in it that if the massive iron supports to the roof were not lengthened before cold weather came on, they would give way. The authorities laughed* at him, but, sure enough, the first time the thermometer went down to aero, the roof went down also.

Dec. 19.—The jury retired

at 4 o'clock p. M., and at 6 returned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty, by reason of unsoundness of mind. "JOHN A.

After the reading of thi verdict Judge Woollen thanked the jury for their patience during the trial. The prisoner shook hands with the jury and his counsel, and went on his way rejoicing.

Value of Storm Signals. When the lamented Fitzroy of Eng land first began the display of storm warnings on the tempestuous shores of Great Britain, the class of uneducated mariners, the old salts who had never ex amined a barometer, and in fact scarcely knew how to take an observation at sea were disposed to make light of the cautionary signals. But -they soon discovered their error, and in a year their opinion underwent a decided change. In 1864 it was found in England that fifty per cent.L at least, of all the storm warnings hac, proved correct, and in 1865 that seventy three per cent, had been fully verified In France, during the years 1865-'66, out of one hundred warnings sent, seventy onb were- realized the first year, and seventy-six the second year and out of one hundred storms which occurred, eighty-nine were signaled during the first winter, and ninety-four during the second. In 1866 an interrogatory address by the London Board of Trade to various harbor masters, chambers of commerce, and mercantile societies on the more exposed coasts of England, elicited large number of replies, with a single exception, strongly commended the signals for "their growing correctness," as "the means of saving lives and property to an immense extent," as "very generally appreciated," and "becoming more relia^ ble and telied on by shippero." The North German Seewarte, in a late report, mentions that out of thirty storm warnings hoisted at Hamburg, twenty-seven er twentyeight (t.

ninety four per cent)

The "New York Her

ald" lately said, in an editorial, "the mo9t disastrous cyclones, especially those of last August and September, were predicted with marvelous precision from Washington, and our daily weather-fore-casts very seldom fail to express the general atmospheric conditions, and luualy fore-annonce the changesjto within an hour or two of their occurrence."

In all ages of the world signals have been called into extensive requisition by civilized nations. The red flag flying over the Roman consul's tent was, we are told by Plutarch, the Roman signal for the beginning of the great battle of Cannee. Bat the red flag of the ancients is to be henceforth utilized in one of those grand arts of Peace, who "hath her triumps no less renowned than War's." As the danger-warning of the Chief Sig nal Officer, flying in sight of hundreds of cautious seamen in many exposed and storm-swept ports and harbors, it will be an unmistakably signal that Science has joined battle with the fierce and allcrushing and fiendish hurricane—and proclaim that if it cannot stay the deadly meteor, it can teach man the fire-sprmk-led peth of its gyration and advance, and thus enable him to elude its fnry.—From OUR NEW PORT STORM-SIGNALS,

Fast Tjpe Setting.

A Montreal paper says: ''At a type setting match held in the "Le Nouveau Monde" office, between M. Alphonae Bar^ retta and M. Alphonae Mondon, the former set 2,038 ems and the latter 1,944 ems in one hour. The measure type and copy were similar to those used at the match held throughout Canada and the United States on the 10th of May last. The best done was by Mr George Arena* herg, who composed 1,822 ems, and re ceived the championship prize from the International' Union. The two young French Canadians above mentioned have now surpassed him and have proved their swiftness, so far, over the craft on this continent- The proofs of the contestants were remarkably clean."

AMIABLE BEAST. Vt

A Spotted Hyena, Sixty-Five Tears Old—The History of This Kemark able Brute—It Wnaws Through two

Dozen Cages and Kills Valuable Animals. ..

From the JH. Y. Standardt

At the Empire Rink, on Third avenue, are several remarkable specimens of the

Orocuta Mueulata

or spotted hyena.

Among the colleption is one whose history runs back for more than half century, having always been a source of intense anxiety to everyone int whose charge he has been placed. This animal was cap tured in Senegambia, Africa, by an in trepid Kaffir huntsman, about Bixty^five years ago, and sold to one of the agents of traveling menageries in England, and exhibited in various parts of Europe for twenty years but on account of his wild and indomitable nature, and the difficui ty in guarding him against committing havoc among the accompanying wile beasts, was sold to the Zoological Garden in London, in 1826. Here too, it exhibited the same ferocious and unconquerable instincts. During the ten years it re mained in the Zoological Garden it broke through the 'moot' cirefully built enclo sure8, and devoured a half dozen or more of the rarest specimens in the great collection at Begent's Park.

In 1866, Mr. Jared Quick, an enterprising American Showman, was in Lon don, and hearing of the excitement this fierce beast was cheating all over London concluded to buy him and introduce what really proved to be the first living hyena ever imported to America. But, like poor Richard, Mr. Quick soon learned that he had "paid dear for hie whistle." While his accession was an object of rare end curious interest at the same time it proved the most dangerous and expensive of all the animals in his collection, for he broke through and utterly destroyed every den ingenuity could devise for his safe keeping. After five years' experience he was sold to other parties and has been on exhibition with various traveling con cerns throughout thd country ever since. Dnring this time he has been well known as the indomitable hyena. No amount of good treatment seems to have any effect upon him. He has broken and complete ly.destroyed more than two dozen cages of the most Bolid construction.

While on his way to the Rink, in No vember, he broke through the cage, killed a magnificent llama, a California puma, wombat, fox ahd spotted leapard. befere it could be recaptured. Mr. Wallace, who had charge of him for two seasons declared that nothing less than a cast iron cage will contain him. The only possible means of restraining him from breaking and knawing through his cage and utterly devouring the other and more valuble animals, is to occasionally fasten him by means of a massive iron chain. Mr. £ergh considers this cruelty to animals, and has ordered him to be let loose. Mr. Barnum is perfectly'willing to abide by the law, but inclines to the notion that if Mr. Bergh insists on itj he had better undertake the job himself. What the upshot of the matter will be remains to be seen. In the meantime the show goes on, but the visitors at the Rink may witness any evening, Mr. Bergh might call a performance not announced in the bill.

Any person at all familiar with natural history, knows that the spotted variety is the largest and most powerful of the

eroetUa

or hyena tribe, its jaws and teeth

are of extraordinary length. Between their tremedous fangs a human body, or tbe thigh-bones of an ox fly in splinters with a savage crash that makes the spectator shudder. Thesknll is of a remarkable solid formation, so rounded and arched as to give it enormous power. The zygomatic arches of bones that extend from the eyes to the ears, and the deep bony crest that projects beyond the brain cavity, serve to attatch and knit together the" powerful muscles with which this animal is sopplied, and enables him to utterly defy all efforts to keep him within reasonable bounds, and should the distinguished philanthropist, in face of all these facts, insist on letting this brute loose, it is dif ficult to predict the consequences that might follow. Mr. Barnum takes the only safe view of the subject, by using the most forcible means at his command to restrain this dangerous animal, rather than allow him an opportunity to kill the other animals, and, perhaps, regale himself upon the carcasses of some of Mr. Bergh's dumb friends which repo^ in the neighboring cemeteries. tv*,h
