UNITED STATS CIRCUIT COURT.
The Erie and Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Case--A Bill Filed In Equity.

The Erie and Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Case--A Bill Filed In Equity.
Before Judge Woodruff.
Yesterday in the Clerks once of the United States
Circuit Court bill in equity was filed In which the
Erie Railroad Company are the paintlns ana the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Company the defend
ants The allegations In the bill set forth that the
Erie Railroad Company were authorized to lease
and have leased that portion or the Atlantic and
Western Railroad extending from Dayton, Ohio
to Cincinnati Ohio, known as the Cincinnati, Ham,
ilton and Dayton line connecting at cincinnati with
the Erie road. That during the year 1868 these
two lines were and are broad gauge lines
that in the ial OF 1868 the defendants,
the OHIO and Mississippi Railroad Company,
resolved to change the gauge OF their road from the
broad TO the narrow gauge. That these negota-
defendants deter by which The defendants bound them:

Mississippi road. TO these conditions the plaintiffs
Gorningly. plaintiffs paid the $4,000 for the loco
motives and cars and transported over their ROAD the
defendants railroad Iron at q cost OF $4,000.
The plaintiffs believe that the defendants intend
to repudatc this contract and are about TO change
the gauge OF their portion Of the line from the broad
with the BALTIMORE and Ohio Railroad Company,
whose road Is narrow gauge and thus to prohioit
the plaintiffs from using the line so contracted for.
The plaintiffs therefore now pray that an Injunction
be issued restraining, the defendants from altering
the road as designed. Tne bill was flied yesterday
and the proper process made upon the defendants
70 answer.
The Case OF the Ship Old CoIcny.
The trial and acquittal of Captain Grnde, OF the
ship Old Colony, who had been indicted in the
United States Circuit Court for alleged cruelty to
two Of his crew, is, doubt, in the recollection OF
the public. Twelve witnesses had been summoned
on the part of the government. they were
confined in Ludlow street jail III days,
where the government paid the expenses
Of their board and witness fees, amounting
to $4,000. The men, who were all In the snip az the
time OF the alleged ourages have been discharged,
there being urther occasion for their detention.
Had they been at sea all this time they would not
have been paid or fed as well as they have been
during their detention as witnesses. From the
figures given above it would appear that the cost
Of unsuccessful prosecutions In the United States
Court amounts annually TO pretty high sum, while
IN the successful cases, we suppose, more liberal
margin must be allowed.

THE GROWTH OF LICENTIoUS-
NEss.-It is a shocking common
tary upon the public taste that an
indecent play, full of coarss doHL
le eRteadre, nudity and licentious-
ness, should actually attract more
people and pay better as a theat-
Tical venture than the finest dra-
ma in the language performed by
the same persons. 1t shows a
horrible craving in the minds OF
the masses and even among people
with some pretensions to position
and refinement, for the vileSt and
grossest performances. Unfortu,
nately, the tendency of this kind
of thing is not confined to the
stage. Go where you will-at the
theatre, on the street, and in the
ballroom-you see an amount O
artiticiality, powder, ronge, and
low-necked dressing, which is the
result of the imitation of a certain
style French women not necessary
to mention. The effort of all this
is to break down all the barriers
which surround young woman
hood, and cultivate a freedom and
abandon of manner which is fatal
TO propriety if not to morality.
Unseen charms have a thousand
times the facination of those 81
literally displayed. Modesty and
nudity of dress are impossible in
q ballroom, and can not long keep
company.

MAKE NC MAN FEEL His IN
MISUNDERSTANDING is more in
sulting than to take pains 10 make
a man feel Notifying inferiority
in knowledge, rank, fortune, act.
In the first, it is both i'll bred and
iii natured; and in the two latter
articles it is unjust, they not being
in his power. Good breeding and
good nature iDclines US rather TO
raise people up ourselves than to
NORTH and depress them. Be.
sides it is making ourselves so
many friends, instead of SO many
enemies. a constant effort to
please is a most necessary ingredi-
ent to the art of pleasing; it fiat
tiers the self love to those 10 whom
it is shown; it engages and capt.
Yates more than things of much
greater Importance. Every man
is in some measure, obliged to
discharge the social duties; but
these intentions are voluntary
acts, the free will offerings of good
breeding and good nature: they
are received, remembered and re-
tarned as such. Women, in par
ticular, have a right to them; and
any omission that in respect is
downrightill breeding.

SAVE Your CoRN.-One of the
best farmers that l know saves
one third of his corn by soaking it
before he feeds it to his horses.
His plan is this: He places two
hogsheadS in his barn cellar, fills
with corn, and pours water until
they are covered. When well
soaked he feeds out OF one, aud
by the tine this is exhausted the
other is well soaked. The cobS
become SO soft that the horses eat
them with as good relish as they
do the corn, and they require
about two-thirds as much corn fed
without soaking. There is 10
doubt that the cob eaten with the
corn renders the diet more whole

Away among the Aileghanies
there is spring, so small that a
single oxen could drain it dry on
Il summer day. 1t steals its uDob-
trusive way among the hills until
it spreads out ia the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it stretches away
a thousand miles, leaving on its
banks more than IL thousand villa
ges aud cities, bearing on its bo-
som more than half Il thousand
steamboats,. Then joining OH the
MissiSS ppi, it stretches away
some twelve hundred miles more,
till it falls into the great emblem
Of eternity. 1t is one Of the great
tributaries of the ocean, which.
obedient only to God, shall roll
and roar until the angel, with one
foot on the sea and the other OF

noticed a law of nature, that near
ly all productions of the earth
grow upward! Some plants and
nesSpread horizontally, and hug
the earth, out they seldom receive
admiration, and are only thought
of as coarse aud groveiing. So it
is with a man. TO be useful and

else remain coarse and unretiued.
