Court has been occupied all of to day in
hearing the railroad case'-that of John
Weney, for obstruction, alleged to have been
placed upon the Rockford track by him, near
Cleveland, on the 9Th OF March last. 1t
seems the passenger train had Just passed,
and the construction train came along and
encountered a rail thrown across the track.

serious damage prevented. At the same

DECORATION DAY.

The green graves Of the patriotic dead,
summon us to remember the sacred duties
of this day. And in remembering, let our
citizens see that ample preparations be
made for the occasion. The three cities
should unite in common ceremonies on the
Island, and make the day and the exercises
what they should be,-such that all who
wish may take part. We may have had dit
ferences about the war-but all that IS past.
The country has these lowly mounds, and to
them ell feet are privileged to turn; some
In ssddest sorrow, some in pity, and lone
with the common fellowship of humanity.
Il Is not meet, that over their last
resting places, there should be one single
difference. The opening spring eagerly
Yields for this day its fruits. No bud that
swells, no blossom that paints the bongh, no
bough, no flower that hangs on che'''neU
stem. no vine that creeps with green anu
starry track along tie earth whose bosom 1t
,ovas but has new expression, rejected
fro,, tbe hearts of those who gather them
all for the graves of the worthiest of the
worthy.
Shall meeting be called and committees
be appointed 30 confer with similar commit
tees from Davenport and Moline, to arrange
a programme? We defer to the ladies-to
them was the pleasing duty of ministering to
many of these noble boys during the dark
DAYS of the war, on the battle field, after the
wild carnage had swept over them, and i'll

these duties of remem brance and tribute be
placed.

We hear of a little wordy setso between
a railroad agent and a city physician. All
about the payment of little bill ofservices
to a man who was hurt on the Chicago Rail
