An Imposition.

Our merchants and planters com
plain loudly at the injustice of the
recent order of Mr.. Patrick, the super
intendent of the Rail Road, charging
Storage on goods remaining in the
company's warehouses, after the expi-
ration of two days, ii not taken away,
in view of the fact that they are COM
PEELED, on account Of the ineificiency of
the company's agents, TO send as
many as two and three times TO the
Depot without being able to get their
ireights, and then to be charged for
the neglect of the company to deliver
freight, is an imposition that they do
not like to submit to. 1t appears to
us, that if the rule is a good one, it
ought to work both ways, and if the
company charge Storage, they ought
to pay damages for delays. 1t is very
clear that the courts of the country
will COMPEL them to do SO, if any
person viii sue the company.

Steam Mill Burnt.

On Wednesday night last, about 9 o.
clock, the Steam Mil at Pamela, belong
ing to Jacob kuylendall, Esq, was dis
covered to be on fire, and in few min
utes the entire building was consumed,
together with all the tools. 1t was the
work of an incendiary, as no fire had been
used in the mill for Il week previous. This
is a severe loss, not only to Mr.. Kuyken-
dali, but to the town and surrounding
country, who depended on this mill.

a small capital, presents itself. We
