ssS- 1t is said that the shares of the
Washington Library Company OF Phil
adelphia are being disposed of with
unexampled rapidity The absence of
all concealment, the honesty of pur-
pose manifested by those who first in
augurated the enterprise, the fairness
with which the proposed final distri-
button is to be conducted, and the
patriotic purpose to which the entire
surplus is to be applied, have taken
firm hold upon public confidence. So
large have tho sales been thus far that
the trustees hope to anticipate the
time originally fixed for the dispense
ton of the gifts, amounting to $780,
600, thus placing the funds collected
much sooner than they expected in a
channel to carry out the noble act OF
benevolence which was the object OF
their enterprise. All those, therefore,
who desire to participate with them in
the pleasure of doing good action
should subscribe without delay. They
will receive at once fine engraving
worth at retail more than the none,
invested, besides gift of such value az
their share may be entitled to in the
final distribution. Read the advertise

TIE CoURr OF CLAIMS. Senator Ed
munds has introduced bill allowing
the government to appeal from the
Court of Claims to the United States
Supreme Court in certain cases, and in
others requiring the revision Of Con-
gress OF the crying necessity for the
passage Of this bill, Mr.. Walton in a
late issue of the JoWna, says:
The last is taking tho back track,
and we have no doubt of the propnety
Of it. The trials in the Court of CLANS,
rs in the committees of Congress, are
little better than ear parte; the claim
ant being fully heard and the govern
ment but imperfectly. The govern
ment is indeed represented in the
court by solicitors, whose duty it is tC
defend the government as completed,
as possible; but they rarely do it
probably never so thoroughly as til,
same men would do when backed an(
spurrcd Oh by an anxious and Jealous
, sutton This rcsultG from the nature
of the case, First, it is an Office, ant
incumbents Of that, like those Of al
other Offices, end the temptation t,
ease stronger often than the ambition
r for efficiency; or, to make the state
: ment accurately, there are probabl
more who consult their case than Their
; are who jealousy and strictly guar
1 the interests of the government. An
) secord, there is real difficulty in til
I way OF Jealous solicitors, in the multi
= plic.ty of cases TO be tried.

IMPORTANT DECISION TO FARMERS IN A
RAILROAD CASE Some time ago COW,
belonging to farmer who lived on
the line of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad, in one of the
northern counties of Indiana, says the
New Albany Ledge,, ran upon the
track in front of an advancing train,
throwing the train of the track, badly
wreckinS it, and injurng many per-
sons. The railroad company sued the
owner Of the COW for the full amount
of damage caused the train by the &C.
cident, and recovered, in the lower
court, verdict of $4,000 An appeal
was taken by the farmer to the SUI
preme Court of Indiana, and on Tues
day last the Court affirmed the verdict
of the court below, holding the farmer
for the full amount OF the $4,000 dam
ges assessed. This is is an import
ant decision, as it holds that persons
living on the lines of railroads in that
State cannot allow their stock to run
at large, SO as to endanger the safety
of passing trains, without being legally
obligated for all damages that may en-
sue from such stock being run oven
and throwing the train off the track.
