OTSeveral of our citizens have gone to
Frankfort, to attend Court as witnesses in
cause pending, entitled the Plank Road
Versus to n. A. & s. Railroad. We know
nothing of the case, bat one thing we do
know, the n A. g. s. Railroad has not cost
the city of Lafayette fifty thousand dollars,
all toll. 1t has been the means of increasing
the value of property in the city, at least
quarter of a million of dollars. 1t has ex-
pended within the city another quarter of a
million. 1t is of so much importance to
the city in a commercial point of view,
to say nothing of its facilities for travel, that
the city could not possibly get along without
it. The interest of the city and our citizens
are closely identified with the welfare of this
road. In view ofall these facts, can any one
tell us why it is that the n. A. & s Railroad
is subjected to so much persecution and an
noying litigation Why is it that the i'm
preston has obtained so universally that a
suit against the railroad is equivalent to II
verdict in damage The railroads centering
in this city are contributing more than any
other instrumentality, TO the wealth and well
being of the place, and in return our railroads
should all receive and encouragement from our
citizens, and protection of our courts. Let
nipple justice be done.-Lqfayetee Courier. q

as is supposed by his wife. Her conduct, and
an intercepted letter from her to one MPURET

Trouble and expense of getting Rail-
way Chart ers in England

What in this country Is provided against in
the act of incorporation itself, to-wit the
mode of awarding damages, &C., to private
property to be affected by the road or canal,
is in England made the subject of careful and
laborious inquiry before the law is enacted
In France the same end is attained by per-
manent law, applicable to all cases of injury
But the course in England has nothing but its
antiquity to recommend it, and is the fruitful
parent of grievous expense and vexatious de-
lay. A regular trial of the demand of the
promoters" Chose asking the charter is
had before Parlia nentary committee soli-
citors are employed at enormous fees wit
nesses are called the propriety and policy Of
the charter, the "quntum damnfcatlts," and
every other question connected with it, is de-
ternined. As many as four hundred wit
nesses have been summoned in single case,
and often from remote parts of the kingdom
All this, in an expensive capital like Lon
don, leads to bill of costs and charges that
would be quite shocking to our American
ideas Of economy, however edifying the sight
of the figures may be to the eyes Of "profes-
sional friends" in this aud other unhappy
regions

1t will doubtless be regretted by all our
citizens, that the very friendly and interesting
practice of celebrating the Fourth of July, by
union of all the Sabbath schools, which has
prevailed in our city for many years, is to be
departed from on the coming national hold Az.
This We believe is mainly owing to the act
that no place suitable for such celebration
can be had within reasonable distance
The school attached to tho Methodist Pro
testant church intends spending the day at
the beautiful residence Of John II King, ESQ
on the Little Falls road, when addresses suit.
able to the occasion will be delivered by John
7. Bangs, Esq, and others; and tbs West
Georgetown school contemplate spending the
day at Ten allytown. These arc the only two
schools, so far "a we arc informed which in
tend any public celebration.
The grand excursion to the Great Falls and
Point of Rocks, by the canal packet Congress.
offers first rate chance to all who may wish
to spend the day pleasantly, and have a view
OF the canal, water works, romantic scenery,

A colored boy, by tho nj anne of Mahorpsv.
who was employed at the Convent of the Visi
tation, was accidentally drowned while bathing
in tho Canal, near the stop-lock, on Sunday
last.
A great oradling or rsaping match Is to come
OF on the farm of Mr.. Joshua Bateman, some
three miles above Tenally town, on next Tues
day and Wednesday. the Sd and 4th July, DO
tween two men by the name of Nokes and
Fenvick. A considerable amount of money.
We learn, has been s-aked upon the result.
This race, being somewhat novel one, will.
doubtless, draw together an immense concourse
Of persons.
We saw, this morning, quite number of
mon with their scythes upon their shoulders,
en- route for the country, to engage at har
vesting. We learn that in many places as
high as 50 per day is boing freely offered for
raiders
We would advise all persons who have val.
liable dogs to have an eye to them. We saw
the pelice this morning pa.ting up multitude
OF hand bills, declaring war to the knife, and
the knife to the hilt, on all tho canine race
which may be found running at largo
