RAILROAD Conductors CnEcKs.-
An interesting case, concerning the
rights of passengers holding conduct
ors' checks OH railroads, was tried re-
Gently in the Superior Court of Balti-
more. The plaintiff on May l, 1867,
purchased a through ticket from New
York to Baltimore, and proceeded on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad rs far rs Perry
willie. where he left the train, the con-
ductor, after leaving Philadelphia,
having taken up the through ticket
and giving the plaintiff q check In
place Of it. On the 9Th of May, the
plaintiff got Upon the train for Balti-
more ut Havre de Grace, and offered
the check in payment of his fare,
which. the conductor refused to re-
ceive, notwithstanding the plaintiffs
assertion that OH leaving the train Mt
Perryville, on May LIST, he was in
formed by the ticket agent in the office
ut that place'that the check would be
good on any other day. On the plain
tiffs continued refusal to pay the fare
in money he was elected by the con-
ductor. d. In the action brought to re-
cover damages for this election, the
Court Instructed the jury that the
plaintiff was not entitled to recover
unless morn force was used than neees-
sary to put him OF the train, and
unless he was put off at a point where
there was no, station-honse at hand, or
no place for shelter and food. The
Court also held that If the check had
been indorsed In writing by the ticket
agent, or by the conductor Of the train
of May lst, that it was good for an
other train at n subsequent time, it
would have bound the railroad COM
pany; and that the conductor Of the
train of May 9Th was not required to
take the passengers word, unsup-
ported by a written authorization.

A GHOST IN THE GRAvEYARp.-Th
Stockton Herald, of January 9th, re-
lates the following:
A couple of nights since, about 0
o'clock, a young girl and her sweet
heart sauntered out to the old city
graveyard, and seated themselves under
a tree. The girl expressed herself n
little frightened ut being in such a vi
cinity Mt such an hour Of night. The
young man ridiculed all such fears,
saying that the time for raising the
dead was all "played ont" But she
was not ut all easy In mind. She was
evidently more afraid of the attentions
of the dead than she was Of the living,
when suddenly she felt something
damp crossing her cheek. She gave
one shrek. bounded up and started,
with no order upon her going. The
maj stood amazed as he saw her flying
toward town, and he has not seen her
since. After wondering a moment no
felt the same damp touch on tho back
Of his head. lie looked around and
saw something white. He. too,
deemed he saw a ghost. and, If she
flew, he locomotived 1t at a much
higher rate of speed than Is allowed to
railroad travelling by Jill city ordi-
nance, and he did not catch his breath
until he reached a pedestrian whom he
deemed a frIend-he took anybody for
a friend Mt this ju~ncture. He pre-
tended that he had been running to
tire himself, so that he could sleep
good, and in the course Of the con-
versation the stranger told him, rs he
was passing the graveyard ne liked
to have been scared to death by a
white calf that was there" 1t appears
that the calf had his tongue first
upon the cheek OF the girl and then had
licked the back of the head Of the
young man. We hope all young girls
who are thus imprudent may meet q
calf to frighten them homo.

ulated salary. The Commissioner
further says that the law provides that
any person who shall negotiate and
procure Insurance for which he re-
ceives any commission or other CON-
pensation shall be regarded as an in

however, imposed on persons selling
tickets or contracts of lnsurance against
injuries to persons travelling by land OIL
