Gireuit Court.

Circuit Court ... r...
A case was decided before the Circuit
Court yesterday which has been in liti-
CATION since 1852, during which time it
has been once before the Court in Wood
county, and twice before the Supreme
Court of Appeals of this State. 1t was
the case off. g. w. G. Lafferty, deceased
against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road company. 1t appears that the
plaintiffs were contractors with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
during the year 1852, to assist in build
ing the road between this city and Cum
berland, and during that time they con-
traeted debts with some forty creditors,
until they were finally declared
insolvent. The decision of the
Court rendered a verdict of TWEEN
ty-fve thousand dollars in favor of the
plaintiffs, which is at the disposal of the
Court, to be paid to the creditors of j.
& w. G. Lafferty, when their accounts
ere properly presented. The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad company has already
paid over that amount for the purpose
above alluded to. This case has excited
considerable Interest at the different
times it was before Court, and its final
settlement takes from the dockets one
among the oldest cases on the record.
Court adjourned to meet this morning
at nine o'clock.

clared the winner. fI,,.a hoo.
The fight lasted three idays and it is
said by professionals to have been one
of the hardest contested battles that
they ever witnessed. The remains Of
Joe and Nike were gathered up and
turned over to a machine shop, where
hands will Immediately set to work IN
putting them together in proper shape.
Joe's arm and nose, which were lost in
the last round, have not been recovered
yet, but dispatches have been sent to
China and Alaska fer the people Of those
countries to keep a look out for them
when they light, and forward them to

account of availability. He being best

the peculiar shape of his eyes, being
able to have one one on the ring while
the other was glaucing at the crowd.
The whole affair passed off quietly and
the spectators left the grounds without
witnessing an additional fight. Thus
closed one of the greatest contests on
record. aa.

Annoying.
1t is a source of general annoyance
TO shoe dealers for persons to carry to
their homes three and four pair of shoes
for the purpose of fitting some member
of their family, and keeping them there
for several days. 1t has been a matter
of complaint among them for SEINE
time as being the means of depriving
them of sale, as the very article that
could be disposed of is frequently, not
in the store; because some one else has
it away and neglected to return it i'm
mediately. People should recollect
this, and when they want to buy shoes,
if it is possible, they should bring the
feet to the store that are to be fitted.
