NOVEL RAILWAY LAW SUIT.-The New
Haven (Ci.) Palladium states that an officer
from Bridgeport went over Ia Norwalk last
week and served an attachment upon the
homestead OF Lewis o. Wilson, Esq, worth
100000 or more, in behalf of the President
and Directors of the New York and New Ha-
veu Railroad Company The cause of this
action was on account of alleged damage
sustained by said company by the respondent
having forced open car door at the Norwak
station. Some time since the S l5A. NJ. train
arrived, and as is frequently the ease with an
empty but locked ear in The rear, while but u
few seats remained vacant in the forward
ones. The consequence WAS, some fifteen or
twenty of the Norwalk passengers were
obliged TO stand up, including several ladies'
Mr. Wilson politely informed these ladies
that he would procure the opening of the
rear car for them, and passed ont upon the
platform to solicit the brakcmen to open the
door. No brakemen was to be found, so
Mr.. w. put his foot against the door and
pushed il in, breaking the catch, and causing
damage that 25 cents would have repaired
AS both parties have the pluck us well
as the means, we presume there will
be long aud free fight over the great ques-
ton.

NAPOLEON Ill, AND HIS SUccEssoR.-A
Paris correspondent of the New York Post
writes rs follows:
"The Emperor is excessively reserved
does not see any one, and grants no audience.
Personages Of high degree have sought an
interview in vain. II is said, but do not
know with what truth, that he wears cuirass,
and that it was this very curass which turned
the bail Of Pianori. 1t is further stated that
he has made his wil!-according to which, if
the child, whether boy or girl, to which the
Empress will shortly give birth, should die,
and if at the death Of Napoleon Ill, he should
have no direct heir, France is again to become
a Republic, the chief of which is to be Prince
Napoleon, who, for this reason, affects
Democratic tendencies"
