RESPONSIBILITY OF RAILROAD CON-
PANIEs.--The practice Of the courts has
heretofore been, when an action for dam
ages was brought against railroad
company, that the defendants might
claim that they used due diligence and
care to avoid accidents and the plaintiff
was required to prove there was neglect
The company controlling the evidence
to great extent, it is often next to i'm
possible for the compliments to make
out their case. The Pennsylvania courts
now decide that the accident itself is
evidence of neglect. The company.
must, if it can, prove the contrary,
whether the accident arises from defects
Of engines, cars or rails, or from the act
OF employees. The adoption of such a
rule generally will be likely to lessen
the number of accidents by making the
bill for damage much larger Harris

A Desperate Highway RObber.

About ~ o'clock on the 3Uth ult.,
Joseph Mccarthy residing in New
York was approached by young
man, who, without word, walked up to
him and drove a knife up to the hilt into
his shoulder In the meantime throwing
his victim On the ground, he attempted
to rifle his pockets. Mccarthy, although
badly wounded struggled desperately and
succeeded in beating his assailant off, but
not before he had received several more
cuts in the shoulder. Finally as the
fellow made a desperate plunge, Mr..
Mccarthy gave him severe kick in the
stomach, causing the knife to fly out OF
his assaiants hands. In the meantime
Mccarthy possessed himself of the knife
and the fellow seeing himself disarmed
ran into saloon near by, succeeded in
getting number Of tumbers, which he
fired with terrible effect and wounding
Mccarthy in the face. The fellow again
attempted to get possession Of Mccarthy S
pocket book, and another terrible struggle
ensued. Mccarthy got the fellow under
but i'll moment three or four fellows
from the saloon, No. 361 Spring street
set upon him and took from Mccarthy
the coveted pocket book The wounded
mans cries brought assistance and the
villainous highwayman was lodged in the
cells.

The " Pain-Killer.v

The foreign and domestic demand for Perry Da-
Wis 4 Sons great medicne-the Pain Ker--was
never before so large as it has been of late land
think the time has arrived when the declaration
may be made, without the possibility of refutation,
that the city of Providence, in the State of Rhode
Island of the United States of America, has fur
nished the habitable globe with medicine, which,
in point of universally of demand, extent of use
fulness complete efficiency for all the purposes for
which it is designed and widespread, enduring
popularity, has never been equaled by any med-
cine in Europe or America.
The un.rerSdity Of the demand for the Pain
Killer, is novel, interesting, and surprising fea-
ture in the history of this medicine. Its fame has
gone out" into every quarter Of the habitable
globe. The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in
large and steadily Increasing quantities, not only
to general agents in every State and Territory Of
the Union, and every Prouince of British America,
but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil Uruguay Peru, Chill
and other South American States to the Sandwich
Islands; to England and Continental Europe to
Mozambique. Madagascar Zanzibar and other
African lands; to Australia and Calcutta, Rangoon
and other places in India 1t has also been sent to
China, and we doubt if there is any foreign port or
inland city in Africa or Asia, which is frequented
by American and European missionaries, travellers
or traders into which the Pain Killer has not been
introduced and been sought after.
The ertent Of its usefulness is another great fea-
ture of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not only
the best thing ever known as everybody will con-
fess, for bruises cuts, burns &c. but for dysen-
terry cholera, or any sort Of bowel complaint it
is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidi-
| ty of action In the great cities of British India
and in the West India Islands and other hot eli
| mates it has become the Stdnddrd medicine for all
suoh complaints, as well as for dyspepsia liver
complaints and other kindred disorders For
coughs and colds canker, asthma and rheumatic
difficulties it has been proved by the most abund-
ant and convincing trials and testimony, to be an
invaluable medicine. The prOprietors are in pos
session of letters from persons of the highest char
acter and responsibility, testfying, in unequvOca
terms, to the cures effected and the satisfactory
results produced, in an almost endless variety of
cases. by the use of tsis great medicne.-Erou

Extraordinary Thieves.

1t is seldom we hear Of people driven
by hunger to steal-entering the house in
the night, and after satisfying the era
wing of a hungry stomach, leaving the
other property untouched. Such was
the case few nights ago, when party
ofhungry people entered the house of
Mr.. Robert White, at the corner of six
teenth and Main streets, Kama' City.
After effectng an entrance they proceed
cd to work in systematic manner empty
ing milk out of a new pail into an old one,
and taking pies an cakes out of pans
and plates, carrying off nothing but food.
Though the bureau and wardrobes were
open and unlocked yet no article of
value was taken.

of the 30th ult. The stern wheel boat
Silver Spray, from New Orleans to Gin

her boilers, killing and wounding "a num-
Der Of the crew and passengers, and then

Mr.. Singleton the second clerk, states
that just at the watch was called the ex-
plosion took place, and in moment the
beat was wrapped in flames. Nothing

plunge into the river and swim some three
hundred yards to the nearest shore. Ow-
ing to he darkness Of the night it was
impossible to render any assistance to the
wounded
Some two hours after the explosion
the steamer City of Cairo hove in sight
and went to the relief of the sufferers All
who were rescued were taken on board
and carried to Memphis.
The spray foated down about two
miles and lodged on bar, where she and
the barge burned to the waters edge
She was seven years old and belonged to
Captain Patterson, of Newport who had
stopped off for the trip. leaving Captain
Jordon in charge. The boat had near

An Important Distinction.

Dutchmen, or Holanders, in this
country are very often called Germans
while the difference in nationality and
language is almost as great as that
between English and French people.
Dutchmen are Hollanders, natives of that
industrious and illustrious little nation
from whence came the first settlers in N.
York city and State Holland, or the
Netherlands, is kingdom independent
from any other Power, governed now by
William III, Of Orange. Never has Hol-
land been part of Germany, though in
the sixteenth century the Earl Of Hol-
land was also King Of Spain and Emperor
Of Germany, 50 that they could be called
just as well Spaniards as Germans. AS
for the language, though there are u
very few words in the German language
that are the same or sound like the same
in Dutch, German cannot understand
the Holland language, neither can a
Dutchman the German, unless he has
had the necessary instruction.

AFFAIRS IN NORTH CAROLINA seem
to be badly mixed. In several counties mar
tial law having been declared by the Gov
enor, the militia who are acting under the
command Of Col. Kirk have made numer-
Gus arrests In several instances individu-
ais have been tried by court martial,
and gross outrages have been perpetra-
ted under cover Of the law.
The court has been asked to interfere
and have attempted so to do but their
decisions are disregarded, and now the
chief Justice Of the states declines to is
sue any more writs for the release Of pris-
oners, as he says he has no means to en-
force them.
If all the reports of the doings of Kirk
and his militia are true, the haugman is
cheated out of his rightful dues, as long
as they are left unhuug.

The EurOpean War.

During the week past the French and
Prussians have had several skirmishes
two of them being of some importance.
On the Sd inst, the French made an at
tack upon Saarbruck coming of victori-
Gus. The French profess to attach con-
siderable Importance to the victory but the
tenor Of their dispatches to the French
capital indicate that the movement was
made for the effect it might have on the
public, and on the recruits in camp. The
following is the English account of the
battle.
ga correspondent, who is indorsed by
the London Times as. trustworthy and
neutral, gives the following interesting
details of the battle of Saarbruck, The
French made some prisoners but captur-
cd no cannon. They lost 40 killed and
60 wounded The French force in bat
tie was estimated at 80 900 men and the
Prussian at only 6000. The artillery
won the fight. There was but little in
fantry and no cavalry engaged. 1t was
the Fifty ninth. Prussian Regiment, and
not the Fiftieth, as before reported, which
was engaged in the battle. Three COM
panies of the fortieth held their ground
against the French until the atter's force
fully developed their strength. The small
force of Prussians then retired"
This slight victory of the French was
however more than overbalanced by the
fight which occurred on the day following,
when the Prussians made an advance on
the fortress of Weissenburg, the result
of which is told in dispatch given be-
low, which was received in Berlin on the
5th inst
The following despatch has been re-
oeived here from Neiderotterbach, small
village on IIauter river, near Weissenburg
dated 6 o'clock on Thursday evening =
owe have won a bloody but brilliant
victory. The left wing was the attacking
body, and consisted of the Fifth and
Eleventh Prussian Corps, with the Second
Bavarian. The force carried by assault
under the eyes of the Prince Royal, the
fortress of Weissenburg and Geisburg.
General Donay's division of Marshal
Mac Mahon's French corps was splendid
ly defeated, being driven from its camp.
General Donay was himself killed, five
hundred prisoners were taken, none Of
them wounded. Many of Turcos are
among the captured The Prussiau
General Kirchbach was slightly wounded
The Royal Grenaders and Fifth Regi-
ment of the line suffered heavy losses"
Further details show that the number
Of prisoners taken in the last engagement
reached 800, including Is officers. Five
hundred have already arrived at Frank
fort on their way to Northern Prussia
Reports of further fighting having
taken place on Friday, and Saturday
turn out to be unfounded. Recent move.
ments seem to indicate that Prussia il
taking the offensive and is determined
to attempt . march TO Paris.
