while engaged on a regular train of said Rail
road as mail agent, and as said bridge was in
a rotten and unsafe condition, the jury be-
lieve that those having charge of said Road
should be highly censured.

The Warren Chronicle furnishes some facts
and figures touching the Cheese Manufacture
of Old Trumbull, of interest, which we transfer
to our columns Ashtabula is also famous
Cheese County, and the Conneant Reporter
states that the Messrs Morley have the shelves
of their "Cheese Factory" at Andover Centre,
filled with fine sample eff English Dairy"
Cheese They are making about thirty cheeses
a day, weighing from twenty to twenty-five
pounds each
Barber's factory in the same neighborhood,
but located in Richmond, has two or three
thousand cheeses upon the shelves, supplied
partly from the farm daires. Mr. B. milks fifty
COWS, and uses the curd from several large
dairies, in the manufacture ofcheese at his fac
tory Like those of Messrs Morley. they are
mostly of one size, and find a good market with
ready sale in New York
It will be seen by the Chronicles article,
that in eight Cheese Factories visited in Trum-
bull, the cheeses now on hand number some
Thirty-four Thousand, weighing nearly 500
tons Considerable TrumbulI cheese has al
ready been shipped to market this season.

DR.. NOtt and his College Boys.

A rare and impressive scene took place at
the late commencement exercises at Union
College, the facts of which are narrated by a
correspondent of the Albany Journal. The
venerable DR.. Mott being confined to his bed
by illness, received his friends sitting in an
arm chair. At one time group of ten gentle7
men of distinction, from various parts, bearing
in most cases, the weight of three-score and
ten years, presented themselves as the "Doc
tors Boys" from the class that graduated just
fifty years ago, and, after mutual greeting,
delivered most touching address to their vet
eran instructor, referring to their former con
nectiOn with the institution, and attributing to
DR. Mott the great measure of its prosperity,
and expressing sympathy in his present Illness
and invoking his recovery. DR.. Mott replied
with thrilling and touching eloquence. With a
iatherly feeling he counselled them as g his
boys to look we'll to the great object OF life,
the securing double inheritance beyond the
grave, to which they were all Fastening. He
then commended them in prayer to the throne
of all grace. There was not dry eye among
all those present

present Administration. The facts are truly
startling. First, we had the case of Postmas sr

dharges the same organ assures us were so far
proven as to procure his dismissal Then
comes the case of Mr. Shoemaker, Collector at
Che port of Detroit who is also accused by his
partizans with the grossest official corruption,
including the whole range of possible dishon-
esty in the circle of his official action We have
given specifications before, and need not repeat

The 6elav in the matter Of the foreclosure Of the
first mortgage bonds of the Milwaukee and Horicou
Railroad still continues. We learn that the road If
doing rcmuneratiye business but that its officers pay
M, the slightest attention to bondholdcrs, make
anv reports far informed, OF earnings or
expenses Meantime iIterest is accommodating on the
different classes Of bonds and the road itself being
worn down to state that will render II unsafe to
run cars Up it. Had the first mortgage been fore
closed WHEN the frst default was made, there Is little
doubt the interest would have been paid and the de-
ferred securities would now be Of some value AZ 1t
f. the second mortgage bonds are offered at III = cent,
and are not alabe at thai. Delays in the foreclosure
o. railroad mortgages generally arise from the difficulty
of uniting the bondhoder upon the course to be TAKEN
In the case of this road the parties in interest were
long since urged To take summary measures but other
influences prevailed and at the pIesent time nothing
has been done. We arc informed, however, that
partv representing about fourth OF the issue of first
bonds is determined to take immediate measures for the
protection Of the interests Of bis clients.
There is more inquiry for the bonds Of the larger
Western towns and in spite Of threats ofdssonton Of
the Union for those of some of the Southern cities. As
many Of these securities not operated in at the
Brokers Board we have TO rely private rates for

mnd al 90 and 20. Those guaranteed by the State are
held at 80 and interest, while 80 hd il freely offered
