PROMPT PAYMENT OF A LOSS -INTEREST LETTER FROM A SON OF THE LATE We print below with pleasure an interesting letter from a son of the late St. John R. Liddell, addi essed to Gen. B. B.

Simmes, State agent in this city of the celebrated Mound City Matual Life Insurance Company of St. Louis, Mo. The letter, as it will be seen, was written to testify to the liberality and promptness of the company in the settlement of the claim of $20,000 insured upon the life of Gen. Liddell, and we commend it to the perusal of our readers: NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2, 1870.

Gen. B. B. Simmes, Hiate Agent M. C.

M. Life Ins. Co. of St. Louis, I take pleasure in testifying to the liberality and earnest desire evinced by the company you represent, in the prompt and satistactory settlement of the claim of $20,000, insured on the life of my father, St.

John R. Liddell, in favor of his minor children. The delay in the settlement this loss is attributable alone to the fact that two of the tutors to represent two of the minors were unable to qualify until the 11th of July, and prompt payment was made to them as soon as the letters of tutorship were presented. The tutor representing the other minor was not qualified until the 15th September, and was paid in fall on presentation of said authority. As for myself, I preferred waiting until I arrived at the age of majority, which I obtained on the 25th of September, and payment was made to me in full as soon as I called for it.

will farther add in justice the liberality of your company, that the sum of $4250 was advanced to myself and two of the tutors before the proof of claim was received by the company, and the whole claim has been settled withont the discount to which the company was titled for sixty days' grace. In conclusion, I beg to tender you my sincere thanks for your kindness and liberality, and do recommend your company to those who wish to invest in life assurance as being worthy of their Wishing you and your company every am, dear sir, your obedient servant, M. LIDDELL. Out in Illinois young couple were gprreptitiously married, and turned to their respective parental domiciles.

Widow OF 8: suspected that drawn New Orreaps, DISTRICT COURT FOR PARISE OF. ORLEANS, NO. 811. Now the defendant and excepts to the form of of the petition, and the right of action plaintif, on the ground 1.

The subject matter of the petition of plaintiff cannot be proseanted in this court for want of jurisdiction, the Second District the parish of Orleans having exclusive, jurisdiction of. the same, as a of probate. That preliminary to bringing suit a widow, claiming, as snob, rights in the succession of the deceased husband, petitioner is required by law to have been recognized as such suryiving widow by the Probate Court having jurisdiction of the succession, viz: the Second District Court for the parish of Orleans, and antil that be done plaintiff has no right to have and maintain her present action. 3. That the plaintiff can have no right of action under, or as claiming in virtue of a will of George H.

Berghans, until that will has been duly probated by probate court. 4. That the allegations of plaintiff's petition are confused, incompatible with each other and conflicting, more especially in first alleging that the defendant took possession the succession of Geo. H. Berghaus without color or authority of law, and then setting forth that defendant applied for letters of curatorship thereof, under which he acted in the administration of sand succession, thus by one allegation destroying the other; and in further alleging that petitioner was the domestic or servant of G.

H. Ber' ghaus and his wife at the same time, two relations of life entirely incompatible with each other, and which could not exist. 5. That the petition does not set forth when, how, where, nor under what ourcumstances the plaintiff became the wife of George H. Berghane, which is necessary and proper to be done.

6. That petitioner does not set forth whether she claims under a will. a contract or a donation. 7. That no will has been produced or probated; DO donation has beea set, torth according to and no contract been averred or set forth according to law.

8. That plaintiff made herself a part to the probate proceedings in the succession of George H. Berghads, No. On the aool e' of the Seoond Distriot Court for the parish of Orleans, preferred a claim against the same for money due her as servant of said Berghans, was placed on the account at her own request, and after the account was homologated received the amount allowed her by the judgment of the court. by which she is bound, and is barred from her present proceeding; and therefore defendant pleads res adjudicata.

Wherefore defendant prays, that plaintiff's suit be dismissed; but if the said exceptions be overruled, and not otherwise, he answers as follows: That all the allegations in plaintiff's petition contained, go to show that this defendant, by sot or intent of his, ever injured defendant, threatened, intimidated, or in any way ill-treated or took advantage of the plaintiff, are false and wickedly malicious, and the plaintiff well knew the falsity of the avermente of the said petition at the time it was prepared and filed. Defendant farther answering, saith: That he was the acquaintance and friend of the late George H. Berghaus, who lived in a very retired manner at the corner of Rocheblave and Dorgenois streets, in this city, where defendant occasionally visited him; there was ene and but one other inmate of the house, the plaintiff in the present suit, who 00 was the servant of Berghaus, and had been his slave. That they lived in con00 25 from subsequent developments he be00 cubinage defendant did not know, but lieves that they did, and so charges the fact to be.
