The sale of lands for delinquent taxes has been before the Courts at Lafayette, and the result is of interest to taxpayers. The case is entitled I’cter vs. Locke, and is brought to set aside a tax sale made in October, 1879. The plaintiff, in support of the complaint, proved that she had

The estimates of the wheat crop’of tho United States in 1880, as given by liradstreet, show a total of 455,649,000 bushels, tho surplus for export being placed at 190,725,000 bushels. Indiana’s novelist, Gen. Lew. M'alace, has just issued another story, entitled “Hen Hur.” Tho story is a narrative into which Christ is introduced with reverence, but not as tho loading character, and tho work is more a story of the times than a novel.

The oflicial returns from California show that Henry Edgerton, Republican Elector, receives 507 votes more than Judge Terry, tho lowest on the Democratic ticket, and is elected. The other Democratic Electors have majorities ranging from 87 to 143. Here it is again. Wall street money kings and brokers arc predicting a higher rate of interest, based upon the absorption of $125,000,000 or more in the construction of railroads to the TacUlc Coast. The national banks have, in the last ten months, contracted their circula-

tion $5,533,859.

Kki'orts of tho late census are making their appearance. The officers have completed the count of the people in Massachusetts. The population of the Siale is 1,783086, of which number 858,-i-’l are males and 924,565 aro females. Tho excess of females over males is 6G,*44. Tho women should inaugurate a AVcstcrn movement.

Tn his annual repoit to the Secretary

Of War, Genera! Sherman recommends that tho army ho increased to 25,000 on listed men. He calls attention to tho act that tho present legal strength of the army is 30,000 men, and that tho in■rease can bo effected simply by omitting tho proviso restricting the number tn tho next appropriation bill. He also recommends that the coast defenses and interior forts he put in order against the

f-ossibi’ity of a foreign invasion. Details of the Minnesota Insane Asy-

lum tiro which occurred on Monday night, form a horrible chapter. The victims of the calamity were mainly those who refused to leave the building when opportunity was offered. The scenes in and about the burning building, with 600 screaming and frantic lunatics

sold by a sufficient description—'he description being “157 by 512 lect on South street.” It was further established as rendering void the sale made by the city, that the advertisement of the delinquent tax sale was for three weeks only, when four weeks advertisement is required by statute. On demurrer to the complaint, the court held these facts sufficient to void the sales. Tho defense offered no evidence whatever, the counsel conceding that under the ruling of the (lourt on the sufficiency of the complaint, the evidence of the plaintiff was enough to authorize a judgment setting aside tho sale, but on the request of the defendant's counsel the decision of the Court was postponed until Monday morning. The men who have been so unfortunate (?) as to bo elected President of the United States, receiving for their services $50,000 per annum, during their term of office, are to be pensioned, or at least a movement in that direction is now before tho people. Tie New York Times claims to have hatched the idea, and the plan proposed is to form a fund whose capital shall not be less than $250,000, I and whose annual income of say $12,500 shall bo paid to the oldest ex-President of the U nited States. Details as to management and investment of tho fund are to be agreed upon by trustees representing three-fourths in amount of all subscriptions, guided only by the principle that the only surviving ex-President whoso incumbency is most distant in point of time shall enjoy the income of the fund during ins lifetime, and while he holds no salaried office under the Federal government. Subscriptions are invited from men of both political parties, as the movement is non-partisan. Following arc tho subscriptions reported; Edwin 1). Morgan (conditional), $5,000; •John H. Starin, $2,500; George Jones, $1,000; Anson G. McCook, $250;Thoinas L. James, $250; A. J. Dittenhoufer, $100! total $9,100. It is also stated that $50,000 is pledged outside of Few York. It is time that the bickerings, heartburnings and animosities of the lato campaign were buried. Four yeais will pass away before another heated political battle will occur in this country, and surely four years is a short time for neighbors to enjoy tho full fruition of political peace, with its attendant blessings of neighborly friendship, business exchange and Christian fellowship; for all these, the real pleasures and profits of life, are lost in a heated political campaign, in many neighborhoods, and even towns. We have had handed us for publication this week a communication, signed by prominent citizens of Franklin and other townships, severely criticising and condemning one of their citizens for not voting as he talked. Wo know not what motives induced the gentleman to change his views, neither does the communication set forth the cause, but to publish it would only warm up polit-

A Jealous Wife’s Khk<’.

[Paterson Wuardian.]

T here was a lively time last evening in Essex street, near Straight, which came near resulting in a first-class murder case. Want of space prevents us from going very fully into tho details. It seems that a man named James Hutchison, who lives at the place mentioned works in the Strange silk mill. There is a girl living in tho neighborhood named Sarah Russell, who also works in Strange’s mill, but she has been laid off for some time on account of slack work. Last night she met Mr. Hutchison and stopped him at the gate to ask him about the chances for going back to work. Mrs. Hutchison saw them talking from the house. It appears that she is a very jealous woman and flies into a rage at tho very sight of her husband talking to a female. \\ hen she saw her husband talking to Miss Russell last night she was beside herself with rage, and rushing out made a fu rious onslaught on tho unoffending girl. She knocked her down, pulled several handfuls of hair out of her head by the roots and otherwise injured her badly. As soon as the girl could get loose she ran into a house and secreted herself under the stairway where she was subsequently found crouching in the most abject terror. She was taken homo, where she went into violent hysterics, relapsing into a state of unconsciousness that lasted all night, and for a long time it was feared that she would die. Dr.‘WHtley was called and prescribed for her. He found that she was badly hurt, but she suffered more from the nervous shock and fright than any thing else, and it is not likely that her illness will prove fatil. This morning she was conscious again, but was confined to her bed, and will probably be kept there for some days, from

presant appearances.

A Pony Commits siiinldr. ISt. Louis Post-Dispatch.] |

An old negro woman living in the rear of No. 1112 North Eighth Street up to last night, was the happy possessor of a little gray pony. The animal was a diminutive creature, and was the pet of tho neighborhood and the admiration of the juvenile population of the vicinity. “Nellie” was a handsome pony and full of gentleness and sportiveness. She had become very antiquated and of late seemed to have lost considerable of her frisky ways and to have become serious and meditative. She at last, as the result would indicate, came to the conclusion that she had outlived her usefulness, and last evening, without a moment's warning except a few farewell neighs, deliberately dashed her head against the wall of the house and broke her neck, dying in a few minutes. Its owner's grief was great, and to-day, in pathetic accents, she related the sad death of her “Nellie” to the

police of the Third Precinct.

Dr. Talbot was mysteriously murdered at Marysville, Mo. Some members of the ! family had a suspicion that his son Albert was tho assassin, because he was known to have waited very impatiently to inherit the property; but, in the absence of proof, nobody dared make an accusation. So a detective was hired. He went to live in a house close by, pretending to be a farmer and instructed his pretty wife, whom he introduced as a sister, to gain Albert's affection, This she was quickly successful in doing, and within a month she had promised to marry him. Then she set about inculpating him, and he eventually confessed his guilt to her.

His arrest followed.

Goebels and Gregory, of Memphis, Tcnn., could not settle their quarrel in words, and therefore agreed to resort to blows. They went to a quiet place outside the city, and fought in the presence of a few friends. Goebels was physically superior to hie antagonist, and quickly whipped him. Then Gregory drew a

pistol and killed Goebel.
