900 were subscribed. When the bid is full, the
Directors will advertise their readiness to pay of
the overdue First Mortgages on sections Of the

those which are not presented for payment. This
will leave the net income Of the road applicable to

thy of note, that one man is fmel

therefore, seems to be the Yankee
estimate of fair compensation for
such insults.
No counsel is allowed to appeat:
in behalf of the accused until he has
taken the oath Of allegiance to Lin

tinues to Increase, that the crevasse
has not been stopped, and the rail
road has been materially damaged.
Truly, it is a miracle if such an
overflow is not followed by the most
fatal sickness.
Capt. French, the Provost Mar
shall, requires all who are employed
in the police service to take the oath,
and having given general notice to
that effect, all the old police of the
city, after assembling together, he
called upon those vsho were willing
| to take the oath to step over the
other side. Only one old man did
so. The question was then put, care
