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. (i W'IjYjYETT herald.

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.

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.
