In the Supreme Court of Pennsy lvana, in the case
of Hamilton against the City of Pittsburgh, on two
bonds issued by the Charters Valley Railroad, and
guaranteed by the city, decision was rendered, con-
clu6Dg as follows:
That the defendants and their successors in Office
be and they hereby commanded forthwith, to make
full and ample provision for tho payment OF all the in
eres! now due upon the bonds Issued by the Mayor,
Aldermen, and citizens of Pittsburgh in payment of
their Subscriptions of $4,000 to the capital stock of
the CHARTERS Valley Railroad Company, according to
tie tenor of said bonds by the assessment aud cOec
ton Of such taxes may be necessary for tie purpose.
And it is further ordered that the defendants pay the
costs of this suit"
In the of bis opinion, Judge Strong remarked
that while the mpolicy of municipal subscription to
stocl in railroad companies must be admitted the
stituti0naldy of laws authorizing them has been
tanned not only in Pennsylvania bat in sister States,
by weight and uniformity of Judicial decisions such
very few other constitutional views have been able
to bring 10 taeir support.

LESSONS FROM THE LEAyEs-We men sometimes in what we presume to be bnmil- ity, compare ourselves with leaves but we have as yet no right to do so. The leaves may well scorn the comparison. We who live for ourselves, and neither know how to use nor keep the work of past time, may humbly learn as from the ant, foresight from the leaf, reverence. The power of ey- cry great people, as of every living tree, de- bends on it's not cffacing, but confirming and concluding the labors of it's ancestors. Look ing back to the history of nations, we may date the beginning of their decline from the moment when they cease to be reverent in heart and accumulative in hand and brain :: from the moment when the redundant fruit of age hid in them the hollowness of heart whence the simplicities of custom and sinews of tradition had withered away. Had men who guarded the righteous laws and pro- tected the precious works of their fathers with halt the industry that we have given to change and ravage, they would not now have been seeking vainly in millennial yis- ions and mechanical servitudes the accom- plishment of the promise made to them long ago: As the days of tree are the days of my people, and mine elect so long enjoy
