PRESENCE OF MIND.-The train Union
yesterday afternoon, consisting of seven
freight cars, a baggage and a passenger car,
met with a serious accident. Jus; before
reaching the bridge over G~reenville creek
the axle of one of the freight cars broke,
the train entered the bridge, and the loco
motive and one freight car had reached the
other side of the bridge when il broke in
the centre, and six of the freight cars and
the baggage car went down, some of them
a distance of nearly fifty feet. The bridge
is about one hundred feet long. The brakes.
man of the passenger car fthe last one in
the tramp seeing the danger, pulled Uut the
coupling pin aud put on the brakes and
checked up the car before it reached the
bridge. SO that it remained upon the track
entirely uninjured. There were about thirty
passengers, including three ladies', in the
car. The name of the brakesman who
SO much presence of mind in the
emergency is Thomas Maloney. 1t is re.
markable that in such a breakdown there
should have been no loss OF life or serious
injury to any one.-Dayton journal.

from the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate
DEAR DocToR-With your permission
we wish to call the attention of your read
ers to a new fruit which by pOmologists is
justly regarded as the most valuable acqui-
sition made to the list Of fruits for many
years. We think no one will be surprised
at our good opinion of it when We inform
them that the above cut gives a fair repre-
sentation of the actual SIZE, as well as of
the general appearance Of a cluster of ber-
ries, no larger than many we have seen,
handled and tasted.
1t is a new and perfectly distinct variety
and not the common kind improved by cul-
tivation. 1t originate ted near New Rochelle
New York, and was fist brought into no.
lice by Mr.. SEAcoR, who is much better en-
titled to the nam of it than the gentleman
who fo- p%ecuniary advantages wishes it to
be called the Lawlon.
The shape of the fruit, it will be seen, is
not that OF the wild blackberry, but resem-
b'es the Hovey's Seeding Strawberry We
are inclined to the opinion that it is an ac-
c:dentai cross of the common blac kberry
and the dewberry. We have been led to
this conclusion from the following consider
atipns. The first year the plants trail on
the ground, very much like the dewberry,
but afterwards they grow upright!y very
stoutly from ten to fifteen #. thigh. The shape
of the fruit is not mulberry like, as the COM
mon blackberry is, but resembles the dew
berry, though it is much larger, and when
perfectly ripe the flavor is quite equal.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLANT AND FRUIT
The plants are very hardy and vigorous,
more So than the common varieties, and
stand the cold we'll. The fruit is juicy and
fine favored, with very few seeds. The
s re can hardly be appreciated by those who
have seen only the common kinds. Of
about the average size, sixty to eighty ber-
rss 4uil hill n quart .neasure; while oil those
u little above the medium from forty to fifty
will do the same. An inch to an inch and
a half may be set down as the average d.
amater, though larger berries are quite
common

Rail Road Company.
We have just perused a recent report OF
Mr.. SHEPARD, the Chief Engineer OF the Min
nesota and Pacific Railroad, and very In
terestng document it is, but too lengthy for
us to publish more than synopsis, in pre-
pairing which We had the aid of a gentleman
who is we'll acquainted with those portions
of our Territory through which the contem-
plated Railroad will pass. Having ourselves
passed over nearly the whole length of the
route described in the report, we can like
wise vouch for the correctness of the des-
cription given of the soil and general lay of
the land
Nearly all our readers we presume are
aware that among other land grants by Con-
gress made during the Session of 1861 was
for Railroad from Saltwater, Wisconsin, to
a point on the western boundary of the
proposed new State Of Minnesota, limited,

a branch running along the Mississippi rive

strikes the Red River of the North, and then
follow that river to Pemblna at the northern
extremity of the State thus singularly

Our present remarks will refer to what j.
termed the main line, which it appears has
been divided into six sections, as follows:
The first extends from Saltwater to the

The New York Code and the Common
Law.

FOr me WtnneS0ttdn.
Mr.. EDITOR In late number of the
Times correspondent over the signature of
"Codex," which, infer, means lawyer in
favor of our present Code of judicial proceed
ings, condemns the Common.Law system on
account of its ''cumbrous forms" technical
itics," distinctions" &C., &C., and to show
conesasively what great wrong and injustice
would be done if the Legislature should
adopt it, states two very grave cases, in
which he is unable to discern any difference
Now it is unfortunate for the profession of
which he is, or ought to be member, and
much more so for the community in which
he resides, that Sc logical a mind should be
unable to distinguish between direct and
indirect injury or an intentional and unin-
territorial wrong.
1t is true that the great State of New
York since 1864 has been dissatisfied with
her judicial system, and has been altering,
amending and trying to improve ii; but
whether her present code system is preera
bic to the one adopted by her in 1864,
when her Constables, Overseers, Members of
the Common Council, Secretary of the Colo
~. High Sher Fl. and ctler fnnc,ipnaric, nc
cupied the bench. i t" many OF her shlcst

states, ma Ter Of do not and uncrri anty.-
During oar minority We have practiced uu-
The very crude Code of New YorK-une
which they have long since altered and
amended in many particulars. But the time
has come when we are to assume the dignity
of State. Our laws must be revised, our
system Of practice SO changed as to conform
to our Constitution. And It should be the
duty of the Legislature to adopt that sys-
tenn of practice best adapted to the nccessi-
ties and interests of the great body Of the
people, although it may conflict with the
opinions and wishes Of few lawyers, whose
interests it may be to engend-r litigation,
create the greatest amount Of fees, and retain
that system which is most uncertain and
keeps longest upon the calendar the cases in
which they have been, or may be retained
That our present code IS Imperfect all adj
nit. That it is uncertain, expensive, full of
delays, and 'uiuous to clients, is the almost
unanimous response of oil who have attempt
ed to enforce or defend their rights under it,
much more so than in those States which
have adopted the common-law practice. Oar
ablest Judges have almost unanimously con-
demned it. Nearly all OF the old and popu-
lous States have adopted the commo Jaw
system. The Supreme Court of the Union
is emphatically acommonlaw Court. Their
decisions are honorsd at home and respected
abroad. And the Legislature OF the State Ut
Minnesota would have no reason to regret
should she prescribe that system of judicial
proceedings, which though it may meet the
censure Of an unlearned lawyer, is the pre-
vailing practice of the Union.

There is discrepancy here of nearly seren
miles, as the report gives 222 100 miles for
the total length. Whether this is mistake
Of the printer or not we are unable to say.
We learn that several parties were organ
lied on the 18th of June, 1857, to examine
whole was completed and maps were filed in
the Office of the Governor Of the Territory
by the 18th of November ensuing which,
if the work was thoroughly done, was GER
tainly doing it up with something very much
like Railroad speed.
TYPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES OF THE ROUTE.
The First Section-52R miles-is listing
uished by Succession Of low and irregular
ridges and knobs, interspersed with tracts of
level or gently rolling highlands and numer-
Gus Lakes, small streams and meadow
marshes.
The Second Sectioa-241 miles-assumes
little more level character. The ridges be-
ing less in number and elevation, and easily
overcome with light grades.
The Third Section-l0 miles-is more diff
ficult as the ridges are in many instances
reach height of 20 to 100 feet but are so
irregular and broken as to admit ola locstion
mostly between them or along their slopes
with moderate grades and curvatures, involv-
ing but little loss in distance.
The Fourth Section-23 miles-shows
marked change. The meadows become less
frequent and the ridges subside into gentle
slopes Offering but slight obstacles to location
or construction.
The Fifth Section-S mles-occupes the
"divide" between the waters flowing to the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, and is as
simulated very closely to the second section
in AL re-pects
The Fifth Scion-lll miic-cons~ts q
succeSs on Of log planes of alternate a>c, u,
forming tne eastern and western slopes OF the
drainage basins Of the Chippewa, PINE dc
Terre, and Bots des Sioux rivers. With tine
single exception of the eastern approach to
the Pome de Terre, which is slightly abrupt.
and broken, this section is overcome with
maximum grade of Is feet per mile. The
western half Of this section lies on the vast
pla,n of the eastern slope of the Bots des
Sio1x river called by Owen, the "Great
Savannah"
SOIL TIMBER, WATER, ETC.
The country from Saltwater to St. Antho-
nv and for distance of ten miles west o.
the Mississippi is mostly burr oak openings
with soil varying between sandy and clay
loan; moderately fertile and tolerable well
watered. 2.5.i
To the westward is the "Big Woods"
dense forest one hundred and fifty miles in
length, by an average of fifty in breadth,
and dotted with myriads of beautiful lakes
and natural meadows. AS crossed BY the
main line this forest is nearly GO miles in
breadth. The timber is very heavy and con-
sists of oak, maple ash, elm, Eastwood, black
walnut, butternut, aspen and second growth
hickory. Unlike the growth Of most forests,
these different varieties Of timber, are distri-
buted in the same proportion and reach as
great perfection upon the high as the low
lands, indicating an unusual degree Of equal.

Col. THOMAS L. KANE arrived at Philadelphia
yesterday, after abtence Of little more than five
months. During this period he has Travelled from
New. York, by way of San Francisco and San Ber-
rar6no, TO Salt Lake City, in the depth of Winter,
in the surprisingly short time # We are not mis-
taken, of forty seven days. Ia San Bernsrdino he
was arrested as Mormon agent ind escaped with
great Danger, losing ali the furs he had provided
for the tedious journey between that place and the
Mormon settlements in Utah. This journey, as
we have head, was attended with much peril he
was repeatedly compelled to conceal himself under
the merchandise conveyed by Lie companions, in
order to avoid falling into the hands Of outlying
parties Of Mormons, who would have killed hi n az
secret agent or spy Of the Federal Government.
What difficulties he encountered after his arrival at
Salt Lake City, or how he finally induced the
Mormon leaders to make peace and submit to the
Federal authorities, will very probably in due time
be communicated to the public. Then came the
extraordinary ride from Salt Lake City to the
camp of the United States army, where as our
readers will remember, after twenty six hours con
tiruous exposure TO the lncemency Of Winter, most
if not all the time in the saddle be arrived in state
of speechless exhaustion. Finally he accompanied
Gov. Cumming to Salt Lske City, and SAW him 10
Quoted ito his Office; and then, his mission Of
peace accomplished, he came home.
The Government having disavOwed all connec-
ton with Col. Kanes efforts, the credit Of making
them ard OF me SUCCESS With which they have boom
crowned belongs entirely TO him. In our judg-
me1t they constitute claim upon the esteem and
gratitude of the country which can never be dis

has saved the expenditure of millions; he has sub
stituted peace for a war in which glory was impos-

power of the Government could not accomplish.
