IMPORTANT DRcIsIoN.-We publish to-day a
full report of the case Of Hubgh The Carrollton
Railroad Company. This was the suit brought by
the widow and children Of the Engineer killed by
the explosion Of boiler. The Court decided that
such an action cannot be maintained. Judge Rost
examines and overrules the decision Of the Court
Of Cessation which, the same article Of the Code,
has given Judgment against the survivor in duel.
Il will be read with interest by the profession
through the country. We have no doubt that the
Legislature will, at the next session, provide
remedy. In this particular case, however, the de-
cision is made on other grounds than the want Of
right to maintain the action. II was shown that the
Engineer was aware of the dangerous condition of
the locomotive, and that he was committing a
wrong on the public by running il.

The NewYork Tribune of the 18th, says:

UhcrcaS, the exclusion Of animals articles
to which premiums have once been awarded, from

OBITUARY.

In the midst Of life we are in death. This COM
prchcnsiye annunciaton of the inspired pcnman
was never more signally cXempIilied than in the
death of Col. FRANCIS G. GREEN and his
wife Mrs. +. S. GREEN. The former died on
the lth of May, in the 5Gth year Of his age-thc
latter the Oth Of July, in the 45th year of her
age. Too much cannot be said in praise of the
deceased. Col. GREEN, a citizen, was sensi-
bic, iudicious and usetul-dlscharging the duties
lie owed to God and his fellow-man with fidelity
and efficiency g; and, without lavishng excessive
praise, he can be truly said to have exhibited
through life in an eminent degree, those traits of
character which render man a valuable citizen,
q good and instructive husband and father, q
strong and sincere friend charitable and bench-
cent ncighbor. His death has produced in the
community in which he lived social void that
must be heavily felt, sincerely regretted and long
remembered. Mrs. GREEN, in her silent, judci-
Gus and bcnefcent in life, furnished the full
character of WOMAN. AS q wife, she was submits
siyc and Wisc-as n mother, she was sensible, IN
sructiyc and executed the faculty ofmoral suasiOn
most successfully. In her relations neighbor
she exercised kindness and bestowed charity for
good and for usefulness, because it was the per-
Torrance of a renovating and refreshing duty
Her conduct through life furnishes in miniature
the image of the sun, working out silently, though
irresistibly through the force of its excellence,
blessings and benefits for all upon whom it radla-
ted. Every movement of her being guided by re-
ligion, she was strong in its support, and de-
voted herself to the duties that dcyolyed upon her
in the various relations Of life with frmness and
constancy, by which all who knew her saw that
she lived above time and above the world.
"ITer footsteps seemed to touch the earth
Only to mark the track that leads to Heaven. -
Those who knew her best will longest remember
