A COSTLY JOKE.
Late Wednesday night the juiy
waa dismissed in a cue which hat
attracted uo lille attention during
the present tenn of Veruon circuit
court. After being out twenty
four hours with an uuohanged bal
lot of niue to three, in favor of
the plaintiff the membors of the
jury decided that they could not
agiee. Several months since Dr.
C. A. ltockwood, a prominent phy
siciuu of this city, determined to
play a practical joke on Morris
Sherman, a member of a whole
sale and retail liquor house, also
of this place. bhermaa was the
owner of a young horse which he
claimed to Ire a very superjer ani
mal, and the doctor agreed with a
number of his friends to offer him
$l5O for the animal. He drew a
check for that amount and made il
payable for one day after death,
and in the presence of others off
ered the check for the hone. He
had his thumb over the phrase
“One day after death,” and allow
ed a bystander to rud the paper
aloud'
After some persuasion Sbernaan
agreed to exchange, and the next
morning he delivered bis horse tc
Dr Itockwooti and isceived from
him an order for (he chock, which
had been placed in the hands of a
third party. The doctor had the
horse put away at a livery stable,
with the promise to pay its sxpen
ses, if any, before the owner came
after him. Sherman got the eheck
and attempted to cash it at the
bank, but was told thst it wu
not good. Those who were pool
ed in the joke and acquainiel with
Sherman imagined that he would
grow frantic over the loss of his
horse and expected to enjoy con
siderable fun at bis expense, but
the victim of tbs joke took an en
tirely different course. He st
once consulted an attorney and
brought suit for the purchase
money. An offer was made to re
.urn the horsa but wss treated
with daedald.

WORK OF STORM AND SEA.
The violeui storms that have
prevailed along the coas. for the
past few days have wrought dea
dUuctiou lo the shipping m many
paits and caused numerous acci
dents to vessels upon the sea. A 1
most every ai rival at ibis port yes
terday brought news of the rav
ages of the wind and wave.
The steamer Gellen, of the Ram
Lurg-American Packet Company,
arrived here ou Monday from Ham
burg after a voyage ot thirteen
days. Go board die vessel was
the crew of American schooner
Ivaiboo, who had been resoned
from theii sinking vessel.
To s reporter of the Herald yes
terday Captain Steven Grey, the
muter of ihe ill-fated little veev
sel told <be rtory of the wreck.
“We sailed from Bo*tom,' said
he, “on December 2‘A bound fee*
the Upper Bank* eu a fishing
cruise. The weather was heavy
from the time we left port and (he
wind very high. Gn Ctiristurns
day a gale commenced to blew
from the uoribeast and with it e
violent snow storm. By the fol
lowing day the wind had
in violei.ee and (he sea ran very
high, sweeping over the derka ,
and washing everything off. At
about four o'clock iu the after
dood, when the schooner wu off
the Lehare bank, iu latitude 43
degrees, longitude 64 degrees, a
tremendous sea struck us that
nearly turned the boat over.
Everything went by the board ex
cept the foreau-t and the jib.
The decks were swept and oar
seveb donee smashed up and car
ried sway. The water poured in
to the forecastle and destroyed
a'auoet all our provisions. We
found it vary hard to keep et.
board the vessel, owing to h
dangerous position. In a littl
wuile we discovered that *.t> ,
schooner was leaking bad*y an , f
we put the men to the pumps. (
They refused to work, however,
an i the schoouer commenced to
till rapidly. During the night we
bad a very hard time ol it, as the
gale continued to blow and the
waves were constantly breaking
over us. At nine o’clock the next
morning the Ivauhoe wu it a
sinking condition, and when we
sighted the steamer tiellart I de
cided that we would be obliged tot
abandon the schooner, as she
might sink at any moment and ws
had no means of saving ourselves,
the boats being all gone. I order
ed the signals of distress to be
set, end in a moan at the steam
ship answered by goiug out of
her course and bearing down to
where we lav. aim «f in tne trough
of the sea. A life boat wu launch
e«l and in a little wbile came
alongside. With some diftiou'ty
we were all gotton iato the boat,
aDd by elevon o’clock we were
safe on board the steamer. Be
fore leaving the schooner I told
Rodney here to set her on fire,
and when we steamed out of sight
she wu still burning.
All the members of the orew
echoed their ooptain’s statement,
and also spoke of his bravery, uys
ing that be wu the lut man to
leave the sinking schooner. The
Ivauhoe hai/ed from Gloucester
where she wu built in 1879.—N,
