VERn1cT AGAINST A RAILRoAD COyPANY.-In TIL

VERDICT AGAINST A RAILROAD COMPANY.-In the
suit of Miles Sheridan against the Brooklyn City and
Newtown Railroad Company, for damages for the
death of his son, who was killed in September last
by falling off one of the cars of the company while
returning from picnic at Myrtle Avenue Park, the
jury last evening returned verdict for $2,5o0 for
plaintiff.
The boy was nine years of age, and had paid half
fare and occupied seat, from which he was elected
by the conductor, and being crowded on the front
platform, fell OFF and sustained injuries which re-
suited in his death. The defence claimed that as he
had only paid half fare he not entitled to seat;
but Judge Gilbert instructed the jury that as the
boy had paid the fare demanded from him, he was
entitled to seat, and that the conductor had no
right to eject him therefrOm.-N. Y. Post.

.FKEAKs OF LIGHTNGNG.-0ne of the most remarka-
hle freaks of lightning recorded took place at
the house of Judge MrNei in the town of Middle
port. H., Friday. the 9th inst. The family circle,
consisting of Judge McNeill and wife, a little son,
his stepson, Mr.. Lucien Il. Tatman. stepdaughter,
Mrs. Elder and hired girl, were seated in the family
dining room. and little granddaughter was sleeping
in an adjoining bedroom. A reverse explosion sent
three distinct columns of the fluid into the Judges
house. One ran along the brick foundation to within
few feet of the door OF the room in which the group
were sitting and then followed up joist some fifteen

boots, 1t escaped &c the stove which his foot
resting at the tune he was struck. The Judges little

An IMPuDENT "PRoTEsT.';-A telegraphic des-
patch from New Orleans relates that the French ma
val commander on the ltio Gfande, before his de-
American troops at Bagdad. protested in a short
note against the invasion of Mexico by the American
soldiers"
The impudence of this French officer would be
laughabe, if it were not vexatious. What business
mas he in Mexico? What right has he to protest? :?
What rights of his Government were attacked or
threatened by the presence of American troops in
Mexico? We shall presently hear of burglar pro-
testing against the invasion OF the police or of an
areasneak protesting against the sharp toes of the
boot which kicks him into the street.-N T. Post
