THE COMMERCIAL RAILROAD BANK OF VIcKs.
BURG.-The Mississippian of last Friday says that
:" the proceedings against the Commercial Railroad
Bank, under the quo wdrranto, have been prosecu-
ted by the able lawyers employed, Messrs. A. ].
Paxton and ID. c. Glenn, with entire success. A
forfeiture has been declared by the Warren Circuit
Court of all the banking franchises. The work
must now be commenced in earnest We find that
the attorney for the railroad Mr.. George S. Yerger,
has raised the issue of appropriating to the Railroad
Company all the assets of the bank. 1t would be
very fine arrangement for the bank and its attor
neys, but very unjust and iniqutous one to the
creditors of the bank"
ACCIDENT AND DEATH.-The Canton Creole,
of the l1th, says: son Saturday last, while
Mr. Barron, or Barnes, who recently came to this
county, and Mr.. Joab B. Powell, We're riding to-
geher, about five miles north of this place, they
were both struck by lightning. Mr.. B. and his
horse were instantly killed. and Mr.. Powells horse
so badly injured that he died the same night The
last accounts from Mr.. P. still represent him as
being in very critical condition.

SKIFFs.-The skffs so generously voted to the
people of the inundated wards, by the Second Mu-
nicipalty Council, We're in active demand yester-
day. They were found great convenience; yet
we think something more should have been given
than mere transportation. Many poor people, who
are driven from their homes by the flood, know not
where to go, or what to do, when they get on dry
land, to which they have had the honor of being
conveyed in a municipal skff.

has abated, and we would fain hope and believe
that it will soon disappear entirely Its movements,

The CHOLERA IN ST. LoUIs.-The physicians
report to the Register the existence of t,Dey-sir
new cases of cholera from O'Clock P. NJ. of We'd
nesday, the 9th, to P. NJ, of Thursday. During
the same time, nine deaths from cholera were re-
ported to the Register But we are inclined to be-
lieve, Says the Republican, that the entire return
at the end of the week, from the several places of
interment, will show greater mortality than is
here set down. We make this statement because
many might otherwise suppose that the disease is
rapidly decreasing, and abandon the precautionary
measures which have been so generally adopted.
