The plaintifts aver that they are the heirs of Hannah Speakman, who died in the insane asylum in Mareh ‘72; that said Hannan was seized of five acres of d near Piney Byanch; that she became tn- in 180 and continued to have lucid in- 4is until the time of the rebel raid made oa Washington in 1864, when they ceased al- together. That on the 8th of September, 18k, ard while the said Hannah Speakman was insane, the said Hayes Speakmaa and the defendant, James “W. idiek, well kuowing that the s: Hannah Speakman Was Of unsound mind toan extent that ren- dered ber incapable ofentering into a con- ct, procured her to sign and acknowledge deed purporting to convey the tate to the said James W. - That*neither the said Hannah Speakman, nor her heirs, nor any other person for her, or for them, has ever re- ceived any consideration for said land, pur- porting to be conveyed by sald deed. the said Reddick and wife, on the sth day of September, 1868, conveyed by deed a ceriain lot of land in the city of Washington, de- scribed in a deed recorded in Liber D, No. 4, folio to the said Hayes Speakman in consideration of the’ aforesaid lot, conveyed to the said James W. Reddick. They pray tuat the deed of Hannah Speat- man be declared of no effect, null and void; that possession of the said real estate may be given to the plaintiff. To which prayers are added for an account of rents and one for general relief. The defendants, Reddick, led their answer, admitting the ‘transfer of the property, as set forth in the bill; deny that Hannah Speakman was seized ‘in fee simple in her own right of the property she and Hayes Speakman conveyed to them; deny that she became insane in 1860; deny that Hannah Speakman received no consid- eration for the lot conveyed to Reddick; | aver that, as the wife of Hayes Speakman, she did receive consideration. And the said Reddick denied that he knew the said Han- | bab Speakman was of unsound mind to an extent that rendeeed her incapable of enter- | ing into a contract; denies that her signature | tokaid deed and acknowledgement thereof | were procured save by fair means and for a | valuable consideration; and they deny that | the said Hannah Speakman was insane at the time of executing said deed. and aver that they were bona fide purchasers for a valuable and full consideration, without no- tice of any disability. The case was certified | to the Circuit Court on issues. The trial was | had and the jury found that she was sane. At the final hearing the Equity Court was | of the opinion that Hannah Speakman was fane at the time of executing sald deed, and | passed a decree accordingly, and dismissed the bill as to the defendants, Reddick, from Which decree the plaintiffs appealed.

The rate for money at the stock exchange on government securities is 135 per cent How To Pet CANARIRS.—Says a writer on canaries: *In this way I answer the question of ‘how Thad such luck with birds.’ Simply by allowing the birds to attend to their own afairs, acd by letting them understand that their mistress would never harm them. Also, by accustoming them to plenty of light, and alr and compan: rather than, as recom- mended in books, keeping the cage in adark room, for fear of frightening the birds. Make jvst balf the fuss directed in bird-books over ‘the matter, and you will havedouble the suce cess in raising birds. Never give them sugar, but all the red pepper they will eat. It ts the best thing for them. And if your bird feels hoarse atany time, put a piece of fat salt pork In the eaze, and see how the little fellow will enjoy it, and listen for the result. Give him flaxseed once ina while, and if he ap- r. Samuel | pears dumpy occasionally give a diet of bread and water, with red pepper sprinkled in. Open the caze door and give your pets the freedom of the room; soon they will come at your call, and fy to meet you, whenever your voice is heard. DISMISSAL OF AN ABDUCTION CASE.—The examination at Hoboken, N. J., ou Tuesday, in the case of Ellen Durmott, charged with abducting Ellen Hayes, aged 14 years, re- vealed the fact that the father, Dennis Hayes, had committed perjury. Hayes was guilty of habitually ill-using his daughter, who was frequently forced to leave home to escape her father's drunken fury. The prisoner had fre- quently given the girl shelter, and finally offered her a home and tanghit her dress- meking. Mr. Hayes demanded that Elle should return home, and the prisoner a: vised the child to go to New York and seek shelter at the House of the Good Shephert, where she now is. The judge dismissed the case, and ordered the arrest of the father for perjury. Grorcr L. Fox PARALYZED.—A former business manager of George L. Fox, the clown, said yesterday that one side of the actor's face Has become paralyzed, and that he 1s no longer able to contro! his facial mus- cles, and therefore will be obliged to quit the age. It has been Fox’s custom to plaster his face nightly with ite of fice French chalk, bismuth and cold cream. His nhysi- cian warned bim against the bismuth, vat Fox did not believe that he could be hurt by it. He was under engagement at Booth’s to play in a Christmas pautomine, but his friends fear that he cannot fulfil it.—N. ¥.
