I5@ The Western canal reservoirs are ge-
nune curiosities. In Ohio there are six for
. the supply of the two main canals, and only
two of them were cleared OF tmber before
being enclosed and filed with water Ohe
Of these, in Mercer county, covers 1900
acres OF land, on which enormous trees and
thick underground were sllle.t ataRding. It
has been supposed that the health of the
neighborhoud is damaged .by these artificial
lakes; but a Legislative inquiry in reference
90 this one showed, by the testimony of
persons residing near 1t for fifteen wears, that
the health OF the country was improved, in
stead OF being injured by the lake. In Endi-
ana there are three reservoirs for the supply
Of The. Wabash and Erie Cdnal--one a.
Birch Greek, covering 900 acres one a.
SpuDge Creek, COVERING 1900 acres; and
one al Pigeon Greek, covering SOC acres.
In the year 1853 the Indiana Legislature app
pointed committee eff three physicians to
examine these Reservoirs, and report az TO
their influence upon the health Of the mel III
borhood. Their investigation.sh!owe ed clearly
that where, as in the case of the Splunge
Creek reservoir, lurge surfaces were put per-
manenlIy under water, which before were
altern, tely covered by rain water, and ex-
posed bare TO the drying heats OF the sun, the
hraltt of the neighborhood immediately i'm
proved.-[ E.r.

=, COMMON CARRIERS AND EXPRESS COMA
sIEs-I'HEIR LIABILITIEs.-A case of great
importar &C to persons in companies eng aged
in the Express business, has recently been
decided IN The Supreme Court OF New York
before the Hon. r. II. Morris, Judge 1t has
crested wide distinction between the liabiIi-
ties of Express compaties and general com
mon carriers, in case of goods lost or destroy
ed, and cannot be looked upon otherwise than
as a very marked innovation upon doctrines
long well established. The liability of COM
mon carriers, is laid down in the books OF the
Jaw as being released only in cases where
the goods are lost Through the act of Con or
the public enemies" or in other words, by
means of such calamity as could not have
been avoided, even had it been foreseen. In
this case it was holden that the defendants
were not liable "Ior any loss or damages arIs-
ing from dangers of the ocean or river navi-
gation, leakage, fire or from any cause what.
ever, unless the same be proved to have &C.
Cured from the fraud or gross negligence OF
The defendants. their agents, or servants"

MURDER IN MARTIN CoUErY.-We learn
that a very aggravated murder was committed
in Martin county, about ten miles from
Orargeville on Thursday last. The murder
ed man was named Collins, and the persons
arrested on the charge of committing the
deed are Wood Lowson, Mat Vandeveer,
and Watson. 1t appears that Collins was
engaged in raft ng timber down Beaver creek
to his mills, when he was fired upon from an
ambush on the store. He was struck by
several shot, but Immediately landed his raft
and jumped ashore for the purpose of con-
fronting his assa Iants. From the appear
ance OF Culns's body, desperate fight must
have ensued before they succeeded in des-
patching him. The body was thrown into
the creek and left. Lawson and Watson
were arrested on suspicion and a. coroner's
jury summoned. Vandeveer was summoned
as one of the jurors, but. when confronted
with the corpse he shook and trembled so vio-
Iently that he was arrested as one of the
murderers. The jury brought in a verdict
charging The three men named as the murder
ers. ~
1t is not certainly known what cause in
duced rhia horrid murder. One report is that
Collins had boarded at Lawson's house and
was suspected of being too intimate with
LIS wife N. A. Ledger.
