The Legal Tender DeCision---Rail-
road Bonds.

It is accepted in financial circles in
New York as beyond question that all
outstanding corporate and city bonds
issued before the passage Of the legal
tender act-February =, 1SG2-Will
have to be provided for in coin, and
without an attempt at a legal evasion,
the decision OF the Supreme Court be-
/ ing beyond appeal. Some doubt IL
entertained as TO the course which
NAV be adopted by the States, against
which there is no legal recourse in the
event Of their continuing to pay III
currency. The outstanding de5t OF
the States prior to 1852 Is one hundred
and eigbty-five millions. The follow
Is an approximate statement Of the
bonded debts of the rail
road companies named, issued
prior to the passage Of the
legal tender act, as taken from the last

GhOstIy Signals at Wobarn.

The Boston papers publish the fol-
lowing as a strange but well authen-
ticated story; The engineer Of the
freight train on the Boston and Low
ell Railroad, which leaves Boston
about three o'clock in the morning,
has on several occasions discovered a
red light swinging at a furious rate at
the WOburn station, where the train
stops for water. The light would
sometimes be In front, and sometimer
in rear of the train. When the engi-
neer would stop his train and send
some one TO learn why the signal to
STOP was made, the messenger would
be greatly surprised 10 see the light
vanish. Investigation has proved
that no person was there with lant-
ern, and the brakeman and conductor
concur, also, in having beheld the
phenomenon, which, so far aS is
known, is without visible cause. Some
lAb0rers living on the line of the above
station, state that q few mornings
since they were coming down the road
on a hand-car, when they suddenly
heard the approach Of the engine and
tram, and knowing that no train was
due in the vicinity at that hour, they
became greatly frightened, and jump
ing out OF the car, threw it of the
track, TO await the train which they
thought was coming at a rapid pace
upon them, hut which, it is needless
to say, did dot come. The supersti-
tious regard the affair as a forewarn-
ing OF some disaster, while the spiritu-
alists have the ready theory that it IS
I the spirit Of man who was killed
there some two years ago."
We had the pleasure Of call from
NJ. D. Welch, Esq, Of Memphis, on
