Termon Central Railroad. We learn from
the Burlington Free Press Of the llth that 7. II.
Cody, Conductor from Burlington to Essex. and
Station Agent at Burlington, was removed last
week. The article Ia communication states
that Mr.. Cody has been good officer that his
accounts have proved accurate, and the writer
pretty sharply demands Justice. In this connec-
tor, we learn that nearly all the other conduc-
tors have been discharged. They too, so far as
we know. were excellent officers and have dis
charged their duties acceptably to former super
intendents. and undoubtedly to Mr. Stearns, who
has retained them until now in service. The
reason for this movement, then, lies beyond the
fitness of these gentlemen for their duties, and
grows we suppose, out of the existence Of two
parties among the operators Of The road. What
the particular reason is, we have not been ap-
priced, though the rumor goes that the outs were
in favor Of getting somebody else out, and there
/ by got out themselves. That is not an uncom-
mon accident. Some folks, like the sailor who
got blowed up at the play, are waiting to see
"what funny thing will come next"

a count in an indictment charging defend

with intent afterwards to sell them, Is bad ;
but count charging defendant with pro-
curing indecent prints with intent to sell them,
is good as the procuring is an act done.-.in
