Id OF THE TINES NEWPORT r. l. THURSDAY MORNING JULY 21 1855

~ The steamer Eagles Wing arrived
here Wednesday on an excursion from New
Bedford she brought about 500 passen'
gers.
The New Bedford Brass Band was on
board, and Gscoursed excellent music. The
Eagles Wing is a new and very splendid
three quarters hours, which is very quick
indeed. Capt. Cromwell, her comma nder,
is an experienced officer, and most adinira-
bly, qualified for the position which he oc-
cupies. The mate, Mr.. Fitzgerald, the
successor; of Mr.. Brown, formerly OF the
Massachusetts on the Nantucket route is an
excellent officer, and thoroughly under
stands and performs all his duues. The
Engineer, Mr. WLaker, has hecn on that
route for several years, and is one of the
most skilful, faithful and safe men who ever
had charge of an engine.
We must not forget to mention that
among the passengers was the world.re.
nowned Doctor George Washington Frost
Mellen,the most prominent candidate for the
Presidency, and who will be the great ri.
val of Daniel Pratt, Jr., and Professor
Franklin Macy. The DR.. has recently Wis.
tied Nantucket, Edgartowp and other plac.
es, and has made a most favorable impress
sion.

II The Fair Of the Ladies' Of the Unia-
rian Society, al Ocean Hall, yesterday, was
4 very brilliant affair the tables were most
amply supplied with useful and o.:amental
articles, and the Hall was well filled during
the day. In the evening there was per-
feet rush of people, and a great array of
beauty, both in the audience and the Ia.
dies who had charge OF the tables. The
Post Office. which is al ways an ttractve
feature, was in charge of two most agreea-
BILE and accomplished young ladies', who
discharged their onerous duties ina most
admirable and satisfactory manner. The
music by the Germanans was n.ost ex.
quisite; the Fair we are happy to say, was
entirely successful.

The Empire State, referring to the l.
ebraton of the 4th Of July in Griffin, Ga.
says that the Declaration of Independence,
or part Of it, was read by Hon. John J.
Floyd. That part which charges the king
OF Great Britain with "endcavoring TO pre-
vent the population of these states for that
purpose obstructing the laws for the nat
uralization of foreigners" &C., was not
read by Mr.. Floyd. When was it ever be-
fore found necessary or expedient to omit
this passage on reading the Declaration of
Independence Has it come to this, that

A RAILWAY COMPANY PAID FOR KILL
ING Coas-oA rather singular action for
damages was decided in one of tho Yer
mont County Courts recently. The parties
were the Connecticut and Passnmpsic
Rivers Ralroal Company against Thomas
Nelson. The last-named individual owns
cows, which being Of Il vagabond disposition
have fancy for promenading on the rail-
road track. a train was thrown off in con-
sequence and the company sued the owner
OF the cows for damages. The Judge
charged that he was liable, and that the
plaintiffs couli recover, If il was proved to
the satisfaction Of the jury that the cows
caused the accident, and that he must prove
that he had used ordinary care and vigi-
lance 10 keep them out of the highway
The jury returned a verdict for the plain
tlfs for ono hundred and fifty-nine dol ars
damages and costs.
This is decision OF some importance to
railroad companies, as they have generally
been Obliged to pay for slaughtered cows,
while in this case they actually recover
damages-the owner of the beef having to
pay the butcher. A great many accidents
are caused BY catt !" on the railroad tracks,
and all rarties should be careful. The rail-
roads should be fenced and provided with
strong cattle guards at the crossings,
while the owners of cattle should keep n
sharp look out lest they lose them and be-
come liable for damages al the same timo
