The Fenian Panic in Canada.

From the World.
Canada has never been in such state of wild
CONSERVATION as at present, since the SO called
patriot War" The great activity of the Fenan
organization in the United States since the sus.
pension of the habeas corpus in Ireland, the
monster mass meetings in all our populous
towns, and the redundant flow OF funds into the
Fenian exohequer, account for and justify the
lively apprehensions and hurried preparations
OF our Canadian neighbos. If the Fenians
want a hundred thousand soldiers to invade
Canada on ST. Patricks Day, they can easily
raise them. Not only do our whole Irish popu.
latlon stand ready 10 enlist, but they would be
eagerly reinforced by multitudes of restless dis

Wednesday evening, instantly returned home
and started her husband after the offender, who
was lodged in prison and fined fifty dollars the
next morning by magistrate. The defense SET
up that the kiss was only a joke, given under
the influence of little too much liquor, and
but for testimony OF general good character, the
Judge announced that the punishment would
have been six months imprisonment.

DECISION CoNoERNNG RAILROAD PASSAGE
TICKETs.-Mr. David Ripley last year brought a
suit against the New Jersey Railroad Company
upon the following grounds:-He bought COM
mutation ticket for the year 1866. which was
stolen from him, and applied for new ticket
proving the loss, and offering to indemnify the
company for its use by any other person. He
was informed, says the Newark Ad0ertiser, that
the rules OF the company required him to pay
ehalf of the value OF the ticket for the NneX-
pired term before new one would be issued.
He refused, and was required to pay his daily
1are in order TO travel over the road. He paid
under protest, and brought an action to test
their right to demand it, Insisting that he had
paid for the year, and they were bound to carry
MIN without further charge. The company In.
sisted that the terms printed on the ticket, and
on the receipt given him for the money, pro
Vided that the ticket should be shown when re-
quired, and that no duplicate would be issued.
The Supreme Court held that the case did not
involve any question as to the reasonableness Of
the rule, but only the Interpretation of the con
tract between the parties; that the plaintiff was
bound by the contract expressed on the ticket
and receipt, and that the purchaser of such q
ticket became his own insurer against the loss o.
his ticket, however it might happen.

MARROW EscAPE-A MAN FALLS FROM
THIRD STORY WWDow.-Last night,
about halfpast eleven o'clock, man
named Alex. Montague fell from the
window of room in the third story of
Schwab's restaurant, on Adams street.
He was sitting on the windowsill, when
he lost his balance and fell into the alley
beneath. His roommate immediately
descended, expecting to find him lifeless'
and had him conveyed to his room,
when a doctor was sent for, an examina-
ton revealing the fact that he was not
injured seriously, his head and back be
ing bruised, but no bones broken This
morning he was doing well, and will be
about in few days. This was, indeed
