Tue judgment taken against Rand Brothers, pro- prietors of the St. Cloud Hotei, in the suit brought by A. C, Schiessinger & Brother, before Judge Larremore, of the Court oi Common Pleas, was through default in the defendants not appearing to contest it. This default, tt 8, Was the re- | sult of carelessness on (he part of their counsel, | and steps are to be taken to have the default set | aside, Messrs. Rand Brotners claim to have a perfect defence. On bebali of the Fifth avenue Presbyterian shurch @ motion was made yesterday by Mr. Buiot Sandford, before Judge Barrett, in Supreme Conrt, Chambers, to have an assessment vacated which had veen imposed on the church for the building of a sewer in Seventh avenuc. The mo- tion’was made on the ground that the work was not anthorized by tne Common council and that the assessment had been imposed on an amount | greater than one-half the appraised value of the property. The Court took tue papers, reserving decision, Some time since commissioners were appointed | to appraise toe value of the triangular plot of | ground on Eleventh avenue between Sixty-fifth and Sixty-sixth streets, belonging to the Metro- politan Gaslight Company, which the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company wanted for the purpose of constructing turnouts from their main track to connect with their grain elevators in process of erection by the river. These commissioners appraised the property at $32,000, and the report was yesterday confirmea by Juage Barrett, in Supreme Court, Chambers. The confirmation of the report, however, does not insure the possession of the lund to the rafiroad company, an appeal baving been taken tu the Geveral Term from the original order appointing the commissioners. When the City Club ceased its corporate ex- Iwience there was a balance of $1,364 53 due for tent of 1ts rooms on Seventeenth street. The ease for the premises was sigued by three mem- vers of the club. Suit was brought against all the members by Josiah Wailer, Jr., assigaee of the ‘andlora, to recover this arreara, The case was wriea yesterday before Cnef Justice Daly of the Court of Common Pieas, Various members of the ciud appeared to defend the suit, bul neither of those signing the tease, however, put in any deience. The testimony ofthose appearing showed that they bad no knowle.ge of the lease, that they bad not authorized it, and that they had fuliy paid up their dues tothe club, Against these the sult was dismissed, and judgment was entered against the others by defauit. Alter Allred KE. Le Grave fled to Europe, leaving | B host of creditors in the lurch, the latter heid a meeting and thought tt wortn while to pursue the | fugitive. Mr. Aaron Field, Chairman of the meet- ing, requested Robert MacDonaid to aiiow his clerks then in Europe to buat up Le Grave, whom they knew personally, and, alleged, said that he would be responsible for the expense. Upon Mr. MacWonaid presenting bill for the ex- peuses thus incurred payment was reiused by Mr. Field, and suit was brought to compe! him to pay | the same.

Pudlic Works, acting im concert with the commandant of the National Guurd, was authorized to select @ location for a military parade ground. For this purpose there was selected a plot of about eighty acres between the Kingsbridge road and the Harlem fiver.

INTERESTING INVESTIGATION aT THE ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT—PURE MILE AND ITS COMPONENT PARTS. On the 22d of April Christian Schaeffer, of No. 129 Stanton street, was arrested by OMcer Gardner, | of the Sanitary squad, charged with selling © tore Judge uerwood, at Essex Market Police Court, where he demanded an ex- amination, which was set down for yoster- aay aiternoon at half-past three o'clock. At the hour mentioned there appeared Mr. Carist- jan Schaeffer, Professor Chandier, Presiaent of the Healtn Board, Colonel Hastings, Counsel for the | Health Board, and about fifty German milkmen. ‘The case was gone into in detail, Afcer formal complaint having been made by OMcer Gardner, Professor Chandler was summoned to the witness stand, He testified that pure milk was composed of 87 parts water, 43; parts casein, 4% sugar, 3% parts butter and about 3 parts | mineral matter; that pure milk was from twenty- nine to thirty-three per cent heavier than water, aud wher it fell below this standard it was a sure proof of its hiving been adulterated. But the most unportaut part of tbe Lrojessor’s testimony Was, that the lactometer, the tustrument used oy tne Board of Heaitn for the purpose of detecting impurity 1n milk, could not detect adulteration | unless the adu.terationu was more than sixteen er cedt., and heace be had no duubt that very litue i any ¢ure milk Was soid by deale:s in imix city. | Odicer Gurdner testified that ne had tested the | store, and that, according to | the lactometer, it Was av0Ut 25 fo 30 per cent be- low the proof of pure milk, and he inierred, there- fore, that 1t must have been adulterated more than 16 per cent, Mr. Charles Eden, wholesale milk dealer, was | called by counsel lor Schaeffer, and asked if he had any pure milk, and he answered, “I could not find it in New York to-day.” Mr, Eden bad a basket ol giass vials, contaming cold milk, warm milk frozen milk and bot milk, @Bd about an vour was consumed in testing the quaiity of the lacteal Muid im the different vials. According to the tests made With tue lactometer none of it Was tound to | be pure. The main effort he aefeuce was to | prove that the lactometer was @ totaliy unreliable | instrument in detecting pure from impure milk. The further examination of the case was then ad- journed, “DIED FROM EXPOSURE.” “THE FINEST POLICE IN THE WORLD"—WHAT 4 CORONER'S JURY THINK OF THEM.

The testimony given by the officer who arrested the man, by the sergeaut Who waS on duty at the station house when the prisoner was brought in, by the door. man of the station louse and by the keeper o/ the City Prisun was very conflicting. The ma was arrested shortiy before one o'clock A. M. on thd 27th of March and taken directly to the s’a tion house. He had previously fallea in the river. The officer who arrested him testified that the doorman removed his clothing and hung it by the | fire, Where it remaimed about seven hours.

Tis | very appropriate and poetic name was given by the old Spanisn missionaries who penetrated these ranges to Christianize the Indians long before tne settlement of the Western states, and was suggested by the very per'ect cross formea by the two great crevices high in the face of the mountain Tuning neariy at right angles and filled with per- petualsnow. It is seen oa the face of a peak ris- ing 13,000 feet above tne level of the sea, and yet is visible but trom few points in the region, In the summer of 1874 this romantic spot was visited by Mr. Moran and some ot his iriends, when he made the study for the present picture, Altnough this work 1s from the easel of an American artist it does not properly belong to the American school. Mr. Moran 18 evicently a close student, and this work shows a iollower of the great Calame, whose style 11 approximates closely. lt bas all the excellent qualities of that master’s work, ana will give Mr. Moran # front piace among the living masters, With a scene so picturesque as the wild dell, with its rushing torrent bound in by huge mountains, fora subject, an artiat very much in- ferlor to Mr. Moran coula have made an tn- teresting and striking picture, and 1t is, there- fore, almost unnecessary to say that the picture under review possesses these qualities in a very high degree indeed, We prefer, then, to dwell upon the technical excellence of the work, which is its most pleasing and surprising feature. A mass of moss-covered rocks in the foreground and @ pool of dark water a little out of the way of the fierce rushing torrent and in strong contrast with it are painted witn admirable trathiuiness. Close study is everywhere shown. The texture of the rocks has been most happily rendered, and we with more correctness and icrce than are displayed in this canvas. The same care is evident through the whole picture, and the different rocky forma- tions are clearly indicated. The form and local color of the mountains bave been well preserved, Bo that me point im the picture has a distinct individuality, but thoroughly narmonized in the composition. We would very much like to see this | -endid painting become the property 0! some public institution, It is offered for sale at a price which, considering its intrinsic value, is ridicue lously small. Should it go into the hands of a pri- vate collector the public will be deprived of a work which would be invaluable in cultivating a healthy art taste among our people, who are only too ready to run after art which is mercly sensa- tional—that in a few years will sink back into the insigoificamce from which it ought never to have emerged. “THE VALLEY OF SANTA ISABEL.” ‘The appearance of a new work from the easel of Mr. Frederick E. Cburch always causes a flutter in art circles, His new picture, which we unde! tropical landscapes which Mr. Church paints with so mach felicity. In the present work bis brush bas revelled among tropical foliage, and the result 18 a very pleasing and poetic landscape. It must be said that witn all their native beauty these | scenes borrow something from the imagination of the artist. It 1s difficult to deciie what that something 1s, but still those who have visited tropical coustries will find a sen iment per- vading Mr. Cnurch’s canvases that conveys more \o them than did the scones themselves. “The Valley of Santa Isavel” 1s @ very beauttiul composition; everything that would in any way contribute to increasing its beauty nas been intro- duced. In the toreground graceful paim trees | occapy one corner and wvoas and hilland lake | are bathed in a vaporous snalight. The atmo: pneric effects are very happily rendered, and the work asa whole is well worthy of Mr. Churco’ former efforts, Some figures introduced into the foreground are not very bappy; they are poorly drawn, and their presence dves not add anything to the interest or dignity of the work. Mr. Churen’s picture wili remain for some time on exhibition at Gouptl’s gallery, where tt 1s attract. | ing @ great deal of attention. THE MEXICAN RAIDERS. PARTICULARS BY THE POSTMASTER OF THE AT- TACK ON A POST OFFICE—FIRING OF THE STORE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THE FAMILY. Nogces, Nueces County, Texas, April 23, 1875. To THE EpITox oF THE HERALD:— I see by the reports in the papers that the raid recently made upon Nueces county, Texas, by | beads of our government asa mere tale, gotten up for purposes of our own. In order to prove to you and the country at large that such ts not the facts as they occurred under my immediate obser- vation, Which statement Iam willing to verify by oath at any time I may be cailed on todo so. On the 26th of March last, at bout four P. M.,f was | avten:ling to my business im my store at this place, aman named G. Smith being tie only person with me, when I noticed three Mexicans, beavily armed, jeave their horses and excitedly approach the store.

NOAKES, Postmuster of Nueces, HOBOKEN COMMON COUNCIL. At the closing session of the Hoboken Common Council last evening the Finance Committee pre- sented a report of tne condition of the city treas- ury. It appeared irom their statement that dur- ing a whole year no investigation of the accounts had been made by them. Embracing this oppor- tunity, the henchmen of the King, who want to obtain exclusive control of the city money, circu- lated @ rumor calculated to damage the Clty Clerk. A careful scrutiny of his books, however, showed that his exhibit was periectly correct. Mr. Luthin rebuked the members of the Finance Committee, when their Chairman retorted by charging him with delinquency. The City Clerk has not lent his services to sume Of the mantyu- lators ofcity contracts and moneys, and ttis alleged to be their soie alm to onst him and pat a favorite im his stead, Their weapons seem likely to recoil upon their owp heads ere long, as there is some dissatisfaction at the manner in which the inter- | of the city are attended to. After voung yment of heavy amouuts to some contrac: the Council adjourned sine die. Tuey were im- mediately summoned together again by Mayu: McGavisk in order that the custom: might be extended to resident Russel, wo steps Inro the Mayor's shoes to-day.
