A Gastiy Lawsuit.
A. curious insurance case has been
tried in San FranOisCO. T116Xorth Am-
erican Insurance 'Company declines- to
pay the amount cf a policy.due thewid-
dow of CharlesGeggus, It appeared
by the evidence that Geggus left San
Francisco upon the 22nd of August,1868
in a state bf, mental and bodily pros-
tration boidering upon, if not actu-
ally within the region of, absolute in-
sanity. On the 3rd of September fol-
lowing, his remainsi in an advanced
stage of deconitosition, were found in
the monntains of Joaquim County.
The poliey of iustiqtnce expited on the
27th of A.ugust, 1868—just one week
beforehis remains were found. Hence
arose the defence, the Company denying
that when found he had been dead se-
ven days, and upan that point they
went to trial. For the plantiff,- a certi-
ficate was produced, signed by it Jus-
tice of the Peace, declaring that 14e had
held an investigation touching the
death. of Osiarles Geggus upon tae oc-
casion of his reraains being discovered
on &he 3rd of September, 1868, and that
he found that the said Charless Geggus
died frem exhaustion aud exposure, and
had eeen dead a,t least ten days when
found. Six doctors testified that from
the condition of Geggus wheu last seen,
Aug,: 23—he not having then eaten any -
bins; Ler over two days—he must have
di d within a period ranging from 12
8 hours tl.ereafter, thus fixing his
at &alma au least two days prior to
irieg of the policy. Upon this
the lantifrs case rested. In

A Precious Thief.
JererniahlFa'veylProvidence R.
a '
L., boy a..;out tea years old, was arrest-
ed last week for stealing some money
from a greeery. At Police Headquar-
ters hesadmitted his guilt, and profess-
ed himself anxious to have an officer
sent with him. to Salisbury's, coal -yard,
where hesaidthat he had hidden it,
sthat he might -restore it. The Chief -of
Police and. -Detective Swan yielded to
his wish. Arrived there Jeremiah led
Detective Swan out to the end Of one
of the elevated shoots, used in discharg-
ing coal: There they fOund a hole just
;large enough to allow the young shyp-
er to crawl through. He said the mon-
ey was in the hole, and -the officer, not
suspecting thatthe youth OS playiug
any !game upon him to escape, directed
Lin to " go in." He did, go in; and
came out at the "large end of the horn."
Ofrice,r'S wan heard something drop on
the ground below, and Inferred direct-
- ly -what, the youngatsr was at. He
youldait be fooled in that way, and so
he immediately dreppeds not through
the hole, but over the :ide of the shoot.
He found to his surprise that he and
Jeremiak had gone to very different
placea. He was in the bottom of a
coalbins and nobody within hearing to
help him ort. Ile succeeded in clam-
bering up the side ef the bin, without
injuisy, except to. hisclothes, in which,
when he came out, he might have been
mistaken fp- a coal -heaver. When he
reached the ground Jererniab had teen
gone for some time and the Akers
were compelled to retinal v it hout
or the' money°, whieh they firmly 1..
