survey should be had TO ascertain the
original northern line OF the tract Of land
conveyed by the Harper heirs to the Un-
tied States. Third, that being thus on
tbe extreme southern line Of the State OF
Maryland, they claimed title to the bed 9!
their road by reason Of grant from the
State Of Maryland TO one Patrick Byrns,
and by him conveyed to the B. q 0. R.R,,
and that, therefore, q survey was necessary
to ascertain the original southern line Of
the Byrns patent. These seemed to be
tho strong points requiring q delay. 1t
was argued by Gen. Banks and Mr. Hun
ter, that survey of that character went
to the rights OF the people Of the two
States, anu could only be settled by the
States in their sovereign capacity, and a
matter over which this court had no com
petent jurisdiction. They argued from the
nature Of the bill and the character Of the
evidence filed in the cause, n judicial sur
vey was not necessary. eeand Latrobe
replied that decision in the case would
only be interparteS, and would bind only
the two corporations in the suit. His
Honor granted IN order that the survey
be made.

IT is reported that Senator Corbett, Of
Oregon, intends as soon as Congress meets
and is ready for business, to introduce a
bill for the elevation of gold notes to the
gold standard. 1t will provide that the
notes Of banks established on q gold basis
and which are redeemable in gold, sliAll
be receivable in payment of duties on i'm
ports. 1t is held by some, and IN fact by
the very persons who drafted the gold
bunk bill, that the omission of u stipula-
ton like the one proposed was entirely IN
oversight, as the originators intended that
the notes should answer every purpose Of
gold coin. This defect, rs they call It, Is
said to have chilled the enterprise OF
many who intended to organize gold
banks, and for that reason they think
several will be started when the bill for
remedy becomes law. -l1aaa

PeriIous Adventure Mt Grafton.


From The Grafton Ssntina, MI
Our young friend, Mr.. E. G. JetEreys,
met with an accident on last Thursday
afternoon, was perilous in the extreme,
and in which he and two horses that
he was driving came near being drowned
in the river near this place Hc Ind
hitched mp couple Of horses, belonging
to General Brown, for the purpose OF TAX
ing ride, and drove down TO the river, at
the regular fOrding place, in order that
the animals might take some water. He
had driven into tho river q few steps, and
when the horses were done drinking en-
deavOr to back them out. One Of them
became contrary aud stubborn, and laid
down in the water. Mr.. Jetfrcys en-
deavOred to make the horse get up, when
It suddenly spring TO its leet and plunged
forward into the water, and before they
could be stopped were in water up TO
their backs. Here was a perilous situa-
ton. The buggy was now in water up to
its top, one OF the horses tangled In the
harness, and the water, which was some
twelve or fifteen feet deep, was running
very swift, and they were now drifting
down stream at Il rapid rate, Mr.. Jeferys,
however, retained all presence Of mind
and jumping out into the water, swan to
the horses heads. md through his exer-
tions kept himself and horses from drown
ing. Alter drifting down stream in this
manner for about three hundred yards,
help al last reached them. Some men
who were in sight Mt tho time, and
seeing their perilous condition procured a
couple Of skitIs and started for their res.
cue. They reached them and dragged
them ashore. The water being so very
cold the horses, as well as Mr.. Jefferys,
were nearly chilled to death. gr

MILITARY PHYsEoeNoMY.-N Napoleon l.,
in referring to the capacities OF officers
for high command, is reported to have
said, give me man with plenty of nose," "
and it is asserted that the most distin-
guished generals of the first empire were
well provided with prominent nasal or
gans, as may be conspicuously observed In
the collections of their portraits. On the
other hand it is now argued that there is
the greatest difference between thephysi-

and that the eagle features proyerbidlly

.''' NEW YoRK, December 8.
Archbishop McCloskey and Bishops Of
his diocese, recently consulted together at
Rochester, and resolved to frame an ad.
dress OF sympathy to the Pope, embody.
idg therein the sentiments of the Roman
Catholics ofthe diocese, and introducing
strong protest Of the clergy and ,laity
against tho occupation Of Rome by the
King Of Italy. The Archbishop on his
return to this country Immediately con-
suited with. his council. Tomorrow
evening tho address is TO be read TO the
various churches and signed by the clergy
and prominent laymen. Tho address
offers an avowal Of homage and obedience
to the See OF Peter, OF tilial affection and
spiritual allegiance and devotion to the
Pope, and sympathy in the aftliction to
which his august person and church
arc at present subjected, It re-
pudiates and condemns the lawless
Injustice, which has invaded the
legitimate dominion Of the Pope, as SOY.
ereign Prince, and denounces the sacri-
legi0us violence which has brought under
captivity his sacred person. She address
continues: Moreover rs citizens Of the
United States Of America, whose consti.
tuition and laws recognize the liberty
which tho church has received as an in
alienable right from Almighty God, VIC
protest against the violation OF religious
freedom and rights Of the conscience,
which has been perpctrated in the des.
ecrated name oEliberty. We also protest
against tho invasion Of the liberty Of the
Church, in the person ofits head, both as
an outrage against the sacred preroga.
tive Of your holiness as supreme pontifF
and as violation Of the right which We
as Catholics possess ofbeing governed by
q chief completely exempted from and
independent of all civil authority" The
address finally promises tho continued
faithfulness of tho American Catholics to
the Pope, and Apostolic See at all times.

ruB HIARpBR's FERRy3 ggry:
The u. & o. II. r. Co., VS.. The Har-
per's Ferry Water Power and Man
uCacturing Company.


From the Bfrksl'y UalOn. fjoT tsLW
The above very important cause involv-
ing the right of the Railroad Company to
a part Of the bed Of its track at Harper's
Ferry, though cause pending in the JET.
ferson Court, for the. convenience Of the
counsel In the Cause, was heard by his
Honbrat tlifs place, on FrtdHy OF lust
week.
1t was thought by our citizens that a
heavy legal duel would be fought rs An
drew Hunter Of Jefferson, and Gen. n. r.
Banks, represented the SManutactnring
Company, and in addition Mr.. Black
burn, the RalIroad local Counsel, that
company's big guns Of the law weFe, pres
ent, viz Judge Lee Of ParkeiSbuFg, and
the Hon. ], II. B. Latrobe, Of Baltimore.
Tho object OF the Counsell6f The respond
ents seemed to be to dissolve the injunc.
ton heretofore granted complainant in the
case, and intimated a desire to be heard
upon that motion, which necessarily went
TO the merits Of the case. To this the
Counsel for COmplainalts objected and
asked that said motion be displaced or In
definitely pospOned, at least until judi
cial survey could be made OF thepremises.
These seemed to be the points made:
First, that II any part Of tho bed Of their
road was upon the land conveyed by the
Harper heirs to General Washington
for the United States, they claimed
a title for the same, by reason
Of q contract, or right Of way
granted by the Secretary Of War in 1888,
Second, no part Of :hc bed of their road
was upon the property thus conveyed to
the United States, and recently purchased
by the Manufacturing Company, because
the southern line Of the State Of Maryland
was upon the southern bank OF the Poto.
mac River at medium water mark, and
that the bed Of their road had been con.
structod upon tho original south bed OF
