large stone left lying near the rails by the
carelessnegs of some hands in the employ
ment of the contractors, who were ''balast-
ing" the road, and the plaintiff had his leg
broken. At the trial the Company con-
tended that they were not responsible for
the acts of the hands in the employment of
their Contractors. The Judge (Thompson)
held that they were, and on this point tho
case went up. ssh 4-

Institute has daily reports By telegraph
from many Of these points. Each morning
an assistant hangs a cord on the pins to in
dictate the state of the weather. black if

and thus they are enabled to predict with
great certainty the condition Of The weather
