THE 1IooSDERoGA BRIDGE.

Very bright and early oue morning this week
l met Judge Joe Potter from Whitehall, at La
chine, on the St. Lawrence. We had both come
out from Montreal to run the Lschine Rspids.
He had been round to 0gdensburg to argue
motion before Judge James in respect to the II
conderoga bridge, snd had come down the river.
This is the present situation Of the litigation.
Judge Ingalls, granted an injunction in July.
This was stayed by the order of Judge James
till the 18th Of August. Judge Potter argued the
motion to dissolve the injunction granted by
Judge ingalls,; this motion being made by the
lessees Of the Whitehall and Pittsburgh road.
Judge James had previously modified the in
junction so as to permit the driving Of some piles
on the west side. Now, no new obstruction can
be placed in the lake, pending the decision of
Judge Jsmss. In the meantime | suppose the
work upon the structure already begun will go

Ep A correspondent Of the Abing-

of Il miser residing in the latter place
who was reputed worth 100000. Gle

dent, ga very worthy young man, who
was going out West to seek his for
tune. A few days before he was ready
to leave he went to his old uncle to sell
him some notes of hand which he held.
The old miser would not touch them,
but said, 'You have always been good
boy, only little too extravagant; l
will make you a little present before
YOU leave.' He drew check on the
bank for five dollars, as he supposed,
but, owing to his bad cyesight aud
worse penmansbip, it proved t" be five
hundred dollars. This unaccountable
act of benevolence soon became noised
about town, and, of course, soon came
to the ears of the miser. He rushed to
the bank, and, under much excitement,
asked one of the bank officials what
the amount of the check he had gives
) his nephew was. 'Five hundred dol
lars said the clerk. 'What9' said the
miser. Five hundred dolla,s,' salt

A BRAVE DEED.-The Louisville
Commercial says: A bloody scene was

four of his neighbors from whom he
purchased hogs that were to be des
iivered and paid for the following day:
He returned to his home that night ana
went to his bed. About midnight he
was aroused by noise in an adjoining
room. which was caused by the en-
trance of fonr disguised men into his
dwelling. Upon the summons. the far-
mer arose from his bed and opened the
door to his room, when he was met 10y
the disguised men, who demanded his
money or his life. The farmer rep'lee
! that he was willing to 8 i've the money
which belonged to him, but that he hat
in his possession money which belonged
to his neighbors, which he conld no
give them. He was then told that al
the money in his possession must VI
given up, or his life would be taken
with some apparent reluctance the TAR

bers. and went into an adjoining room
where he admitted the money was con
