New York, November 1S.-A Mr..
Charles G. Lockwood, a cattle trans
porter over the New York Central
Railroad, has just received, in the
United States Circuit Court, YER
diet for S24, 900 damages against the
company for injuries sustained by
walking through dark and unpro-
tected opening in their road. A point
in the case relied on by the company
was a contract signed by the plain
tiff, in consideration of free pass for
himself, and lower freight charges
for the transportation of his stock,
to absolve the company from all the
liabilities Of common carriers for in
juries that might be sustained by
either man or beast.

B~ Some days since Governor
Fairchild. of Wisconsin, addressed o
letter to Lord Monck, Governor
General of Canada, appealing for
clemcncy to r. B. Lynch, condemn
ed to death for participating in the
Fenian raid into Canada. Lord
Monck has written letter to Gov
ernor Fairchild in reply, saying that
there was every disposition on the
part of the Canadian Government to
take as merciful view as possible
of Captain Lynch's case. Captain
Lynch, it will be recollected, was
resident Oc Wisconsin.

Richland County Safe Robbed.

One of the most daring robberies
that has ever been committed in this
county was perpetrated in this place
on. last Thursday night, in the office
of the County Treasurer, C. ii. Smith,
Some person or persons entered the
office, and after drilling hole in the
large safe which contains the funds
and papers belonging to the the
county, and inserting fuse therein
succeeded ia blowing the safe open
The explosion was so great that it
woke many, of the people residing
near the place, but it being late
- about one o'clock, no one ven-
tnred to enquire into the cause of the
explosion, little dreaming that it was
caused by burglars robbing the Treas
ury of the county. The building
which was occupied by the Treasur-
er, is so shattered as to be almost a
total wreck. The side on which the
safe was standing was blown clear
out, and the windows, counter, chim>
0ey fiues, &C., were all blown out, a
more complete wreck we have scar
cely ever seen. The burglars only
succeeded in obtaining about 81, 100.
Some other sums in the safe escaped
their notice. Tho act shows that
the perpetrators were old hands at
the business. A number of their
tools were found in various places
near the building. Several drawers
containing papers &c, were taken to
the Steam Saw Mill and rihed.-We
do not know as any clue has been OBJ
tanned as TO who committed the roD-
berry. Considerable of the money
stolen belonged to Messrs Smith Il
Laws, Land Agents.-Rtchtand Co
Observer.

c@@he Chicago Times, tho ring
leader of the Copperhcad Journals OF
the West has, it appears, taken a new
departure from the late elections, and
struck out boldly from the President

South. Now, if the Democratic party
or what remains OF it, will only go the
same way, the Jacobin Republicans
will be fankcd ard headed eff, and
the Democracy may ride again into

n@- The Independent and several
other influential newspapers, strongly
urge the election of Horace Greeley
as the next United States Senator
from New York. Mr.. Greeley is
now beyond doubt the most popular
and influential Republican of that
State, and his efforts, more than
those of any other man, saved New
York to the Republicans this fall
Though eccentric in some respects,
he possesses an unusual amount of
shrewd common sense, and he would
make a valuable Senator, If the
question were to be settled without
eectioneering and wirepulling, he
would probably be chosen.
