Among other things, they aver that sinee the war the enormous som of 960,000,000has been taken from the Sonth fox life insurance, and that one of the objects of this com? pany is to oheok the flow of this golJen current from the South, and to turn it | upoa her devasted fields, to ?2*iQ;?apbae thing of what has been drained from them, and to assist in building up our waste places. It has established itself in the States of Tennessee, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Arkausas, Kentucky, Maryland, Alabama, Georgia, North Ca? rolina, Florida and South Carolina, and. from the reports of its officers and agents, olaiinB to be established on a firm basis; that it has come out strengthened by the severe tests it has passed through since its establishment since the war?it being the firat company organized after 'the war?and.that its ratio of assets to| its liabilities wiil oompare favorably with other companies, and also that it is j secured on a firm money basis, with its assets judiciously invested. A case whioh is likely to call forth all the emotional resonroes of a French jory is told as follows: A young man, having accepted a challenge from o noted duel? ist, goes home and -tells bis mother all about it. The good lady rushes off de? tracted to the house of the duelist, whom she finds practicing with a pistol iu hie garden, and what is worse, hitting the mark every time. ' She implores bis mercy, but ia ooldly repulsed by the markBman, who declares bis intention to kill her son. Thereupon, in her wrath and terror, tbo pour womao sbaiohod up a pistol and shoots the duelist doad. The1 J chances are that she will ba aobquitted, I and, indeed, it is difficult to imagine any case which offers more genuine extenua? tion. The Raleigh Sentinel says: A friend gives us some interesting information ] concerning the hail storm that recently passed over Warren County. It was only six or seven hundred yard: in width, bnt was of extraordinary violence. We are aosnred that many of the stones weighed a pound, and that, four days afterwards, at the old Christmas place, thres miles from Warrenton, an ice house could have been filled with the hail that was lying about. It split the shingles of Mr. Austin Plummer'? bouse, killed his cattle, and stripped the forests land fields bare as mid-winter. Nothing like it was ever seed before in that sec? tion.

The fire is sup? posed to have been set, nud tho stock aud everything in the building was lost except tho post office and express office matter. The loss amounts to $3,000, on which there was no insurance. Mr. C. M. Bcssilieu and Capt.

A correspondent closing a notice of life in Vienna, expresses his deep ad? miration of the Viennese girls. "In faot, under twenty-five thero are no ugly ones; while, for every third young lady one moots, one's heart jumps down into one's boots. They aro mostly fair, with tho clearest of complexions, beautiful hair and killing eyes; and the same re? marks apply equally for the servants.

Then he backed off in affright, and knocked down two sewing' machine agents with the other end. Then be started to turn around, and an old gentleman, who was I desperately endeavoring to pnll his wife | out of danger, aaw the peril and shouted .oat, "Hi, there 1" Bat it was too late. The pot strack agabist an awning-post, tipped to one aide,.and the entire oon touts went over the aged couple.

Then he dropped tbe ladder and fled into the country, shouting "murder" and "fire" at every jump.

Charles Fox, a bachelor shoe dealer in Third avenue, bequeathed the whole of his property, real and per? sonal, to the United States, to be used in paying the national debt incurred by the war. He died about three years ago. Several nephews and nieces contested the will, on the ground that Mr. Fox was not of sound mind. After a tedious trial, Surrogate Hutchings admitted the instru? ment to probate, deciding that tbe testa? tor was of sound mind; but while hold? ing that the bequest of the personal estate .to the United States Government was valid, the devise of the real estate was void, since tbe United States Go? vernment could not take land by devise in this State. From this decision the Government ? appealed j to the general term of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. Within a few days tbe Court of Appeals have given their decision, sustaining Surrogate Hutchings i in all his conclusions. By this decision the nephews and nieces, now living in a tenement, with barely the necessaries of life, oome into possession of about $150,000 of real estate, and are raised from poverty to comparative utlluenoo.?New York Sun.

A woman cannot lose castle among them. Prostitution does not alter in the slightest degree a woman's position among her friends. There is no family organization.

A correspondent of tho Boston Post says of them: "Dinnor parties are not very new or exoiting. 'Kettle drums' may do for Boston, but they oan never bo raado. a successful modo of entertainment in New York. So theatre parties are instituted, and are just now the rage.
