A RUNAWAY LocoNoTIvE.-The Syracuse
Standard reports that one of the locomotives on
the Binghampton road ran away from Homer,
with freight train, on Monday last The eng-
gineer and all hands had left the train for few
moments, when something set steam working,
and off started the iron horse with his heavy
train at the rate of ten or fifteen miles an hour,
without human being on board the switch ten
der at Cortland saw the train, and suspecting
that something was wrong, he left the switch
on the main track, and on went the train without
interruption, until it finally stopped for want Of
steam, without doing the least damage. The en-
gineer and conductor followed with horse and
buggy, and after travelling about miles overlook
their runaway train, and again assumed the CON
troll of the iron horse.

TALL SHoorING.-On Sunday morning last, a
farmer in the southern part of this county shot
deer through the body; nor was this all, for, on
following the game. he found his best COW. a val
liable animal, for which he had refused $50 the
day before, stretched upon the ground, shot
through the heart by the same ball. The dis
lance between the man and deer was estimated
at about forty yards, in direct line; while the
distance from the deer to the COW was found to
be eleven rods, diverging from right line some
distance from the left The bah passed entirely
through both animals, cutting off several sharp
pieces of brush beyond the cow The deer was

BURLINGTON, March ii.
~ Old Winter still holds his icy sway and
shows no more disposition to give it up than he
did month ago. Our rivers still firmly bridg-
ed with ice and snow. Many of the eastern roads
have been blocked with snow, as well as the one
hence to Chicago, during the last week. No New
York paper of date later than March LIST
has been received at this Office since last Wednes-
day
Grain has not arrived in very large quantities
during the last week owing partly to the bad state
of the roads and partly to the falling off in price.

BIRTH ExrRAoRpINARY-The Camden ARK
Herald, tells the following story: -.

A few days since, negro woman belonging
to Col. John Dockery, the worthy President Of
our Railroad, was delivered of four children at
one birth-three girls and one boy, their average
weight being seven pounds each. When last
heard from, the mother and her little darkies
were doing well. The Col. has named the chill
dren after his favorite enterprise, the Mississippi
Ouachita 4 Red River Railroad, giving the girls
the names of the three rivers and calling the boy
Railroad! The woman and her husband were
at work on the Railroad during the past year
This occurrence is regarded as favorable omen
for our Road, and tits thought the stock of the
Company ought to command premium, and
that upon this Niger basis they will be able to
negotiate loan. Hurrah for the Mississippi,
Ouachita L Red River Railroad.

Right OF way.

STATE, ~, burlington and NJ Pleasant Plank
Boad
The Supreme Court, ut the December term,
made the following decision in the above case
The holding in this case is equally applicable to
Railroads and all other improvements, where pri-
rate property is taken for public uses:
l. The terms lust compensation" in the eigh.
tenth section of the first article of Constitution
Of Iowa, are not ambiguous They mean that
the person whose property is taken, shall receive
fair equivalent, and be made whole.
=. In ascertaining what the compensation
shall be, we see no more practicable rule, than to
ascertain tho fair marketable value of the prem
iscs over which the proposed Improvement is to
pass irrespective of such Improvement; and also
a Ike value of premises, in the condition in
which they will be, after the land for the improve
ment has been taken, irrespective es the benefit
which will result from the Improvement, and the
difference in value to constitute the measure Of
compensation.
5, But in ascertaining the deprecated value
ofthe premises, after dcducting the part which
has been taken for public use, regard must be
had to the immediate and not remote conse-
suenees of the appropriation. The value of the
remaining premises, is not to be deprecated by
heapng consequence upon consequence.
1. In such cases, the plaintiff may interrogate
swtncss generally as to value of the land be-
fore and after the appropriation; leaving to the
opposite party. by cross examination, to learn
the ability of the witness to judge ofthe premises,
and what he takes into consideration in making
up his Judgement.
5. And in case it should appear from such
cross examinations, that the witnesses assumed
false basis of computation of value, that in
ippraising the land left, he took into considcra-
ton remote consequences of the appropriation,
awoald be the duty of the court, especially on
objection made TO inform the jury, that the es-
innate based upon such consideration was not to
estimated by them.
u. Where it does not clearly appear from the
record that 1.-THE evidence complained of, was
drawn out in answer to any special interrogatory
Of the appellee but it appears inferentially that
was drawn out by the appellant ON cross
examination, the Judgment will not be revers
ed although the evidence may have been mad
