The Monopoly Question.

This question SO long the agitation
in onr State, is in fair way to have
decision rendered on it by the Court
of Error and Appeals The case now
stands in this position, says the Bord-
entown Register
The Chancellor has given his decis-
ion ia the case, between the proprie-
tors Of bridges over the Hackensack
and Passaic rivers-which bridges said
proprietors have held the sole right of
way since the year l790-and the
Hoboken Land Improvement Compa-
ny. The latter was chartered last
winter, by our Legislature, for the pur-
pose of building railroad. Their
charter grants them the privilege Of
laying their track across the aforesaid
bridges and from this statute the pro-
prietors of the bridges demur, and sued
out an injunction which was argued
last week On Monday last the decis-
ion was given, which was in favor of
the. defendants-The Hohokon Land
Improvement Company.
It is admitted that the complainants
had exclusive monopoly of these rivers
so far as the building of ordinary
bridges and the taking of tolls were
concerned but railroad bridges for
the passages of engines and cara are
considered as not considered in the
grant Should the parties insist on
carrying the case still farther, we may
have something on our records to
guide future legislatures in garating
privileges.

the cities Of the United States amt;
Canada, certifying to the superior ex-s
cellence Of DR.. Ayers Compound Ex-s

OF all his remedies as articles Of great
public utility. Such evidence from
such high sources hears lis out triumph

maintained with regard to DR.. Ayers

to the PRONUNCIATION Of qnackery ia
any shape, bat We knew when We
began, that his remedies were above
any suspicion Of deception that they
were about the best it is possible 10
produce for the cure Of disease, aud
that they have the confidence Of all
communities where they are known.
Not alone because the Mayors of the
whole country believe them useful to
their people, but because we know
from experience that they are so to
ours, do we belive we are rendering a
substantial service to our renders in
making their virtues known to Them.

The Persian Fever Charm !!


ENOR the prevention of Fever and Agus and
Bilious Fsvers. This wonderful remedy
was brought to the knowledge of the present
proprietors by friend who has been q great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land
While going down the river Euphratus, he ex-
perienced a severe attack of Fever and Ague.
On discovering his condition, one of the Boat
men took from his person an Amulet, saying,
6 Wear this and no fever will touch you" Al
though incredulous as to its virtues; he CON-
piled and experienced immediate relief, and has
since always found it an efectual protection
from all malarions complaints.
On further Investigation he found that the
boatlnan attributed to it miraculous powers,
and said that it could only be obtained from the
Priests of the Sun. Sometime afterwards, the
gentleman in conversing with Priest obtained
from him the secret of its preparation. and as
certained where the medicinal herbs were found
OF which it was compounded. The wonderful
virtues of this article have induced full belief
in the minds of the natives in the miraculous
healing powers of their Priests.
Since his return to America, It has been tried
with the happiest effect by several Ladies and
Gentlemen of high character who have given it
the most unqualified praise. This remedy hav-
ing been specific in Persia for hundreds of
years, for the prevention and cure of fever and
ague and Bilious Fevers-is now offered to the
American people.

A PRINCE IN PRISON "A tall, phil
osophical locking German entered %
car in st. Louis, the other day, and
contrary to law, offered a ten dollar
bill for his fare. He was somewhat
intoxicated, and it was found neces-
sary to eject him. Running after the
car, he pulled off the conductors coat
tail, and was arrested 1t was import
ant that the prisoner should divulge
his name, in order that it might be
written plainly down with the words
"drunk and disturbing the peace -
inscribed over against it "Myname!"
calculated he, and answered further
only by look of ineffable scorn. But
the repeated impertinence of asking
his name finally broke down his pa
thence. My NAME" he Numbered
" My name isis "-and he relented
and restrained himself, as if fearful of
annihilating those present by the ut
terance of his name. But being re-
newedly pressed, he replied, with ira
gical solemnity, My name as Prince
Frederick William of Prussia I"
The effect was not to awe, bnt to puz-
zle the police scribe. He desired a.
more chargable name. But the pris-
oner only reiterated with augmented
impressiveness, the style he had given.
Therefore the charge of "drunk and
disturbing the peace" had to be writ
ten against the name of Prince Fred
erick William of Prussia. y

The Effects of the Storm.

10 a trip through the western part
OF the county, few days since, we
noticed some freaks Of tie late
storm. Between this place and the
crossing Of Salt Creek, on the London.
derry road, tho strength Of the wind
must have been terrific. Nearly eve.
ry Eugar'treo orchard is destroyed
The fruit orchards are also greatly
damaged. at the south side of the
road near John Clark's residence we
noticed piece of bottom wood land in
which not one tree in five vas lett
standing, many Of them being twisted
oil, evidently by whirlwind. A
short distance west of this the storm
had taken ofthe tops oltho trees about
twenty or thirty feet above the ground.
Those who witnessed the storm there.
abouts say that all the trees, the roofs
of MIR. Clark's barn, residence and
other buildings, were carried down by
one terrific blast.
After passing Londonderry, we saw
nothing that indicated a destructive
storm, and even in the wide bottoms
ofthe Scioto, where we supposed the
wind would be moro destructive than
among the hills, not a sign of it was
visible.
The old adage that "it is an i'll wind
that blows good to nobody" is fully
verified by this tornado. Carpenters
and brick.layers have plenty of work
on hand in many places, and the fell
ing of 50 many trees will have a ten.
dency to cheaper the price Of lumber
and fire wood.

Republicans to grind out all the mu.

1t is evident that the writer Of the

brass if not with music, and unless he
