Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey
has decided that owners of cattle are
bound to keep them off railroads. The
decision was given in the case of Vande-
grift, Rediker, which was an action OF
trespass brought against the engineer OF
the locomotive for runaing against and
killing the plaintiffs COW. The cow
was at large, and had slrayod upon an
unenclosed part of,he c. & A. railroad,
near Borlentown, Just as the train at l's
usual speed was approaching. The rail
road, at the place ofthe accident, runs
along side the public highway, and he
view along tho track, is unrestricted for
a quarter of a mile each way. The bell
was tapped and the engine reversed
few seconds before the collision. but not
in time to stop the cars. The engineer
was proved to be generally careful!
man in. his business. The opinion OF
the Court was delivered al 1.-THE present
term by Mr.. Justice Carpenter, the re-
suit of which is, that the owner of cattle
is bound to keep them on his own prem
Uses at his peril; that an engineer in
charge of a locomotive is not liable tor
an accidental injury to a COW which,
suffered to 90 at large. has strayed on
railroad, and that nothing but willulness
on his part will make him liable for the
loss of a COW SO exposed by the fault OF
the owner.

Like confidence to thee,
Have tend rest ties just sadly riv'n,
Prov'd LlFE's INCONSISTENCY
Have youth s bright Visions bubble like,
Burst into vapid air..
Doth Pam with barbed arrows strike!
Art crnsld with grief and care?-
Whom God doth lore he cllast' meth too
"'Tis good for us to mourn''-
Then look "alof" and know, for you
Gods changslsss lore doth burn!
Wonld'st find a present com forter,
Thy sorrows all to soothe,
a constant friend, and counsellor,
Thy rugged path TO smooth
Turn 10 HIS written word of love-
HIS promises embrace
Then look "alofm Trust HIM abore!
For there's THY RESTING PLACE!
