THE lease of the Northern Central rail.
road, from Elmra via. Sunbury and
Harrisburg to Baltimore, to the Pennsylva-
mia railroad, is q fixed fact, notwithstand-
ing it was violently opposed by some Bal
timore interest when submitted to the
stockholders last winter. The subject was
then referred to q special committee of
stockholders who have just submitted re-
port recommending a lease to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad as necessary to the payment
of future dividends on the stock and the
development of the capacities of the road.
The lease will probably be made on the
basis ofan annual rental equivalent to six
per cent. per annum on the stock, and the
assumption Of all the indebtedness Of the
corporation. The Pennsylvania railroad
now controls a majority of the stock in the
Northern Central, and the lease will be
made on these terms, unless legal impedi-
ments are thrown in the way by the Balti-
more opponents of such transfer.

the Mexican robbers again commenced
depredations upon defenseless citizens and
| robbinS their ranches and driving off herds
OF horses and cattle. Several skirmishes
have been had and numbers killed and
wounded on both sides. On the Sth of this
month band Of eighty Kickapoo and Lip
on Indians made their appearance eighty
miles northwest of San Antonia and drove
off over two hundred head of horses and
some cattle.
On the 10th instant, while several ran
cheros were before the United States Com
mission, a courier came in the office and
reported that a band of Kickapoo Indians
were sixteen miles from this city herdinc
their stock, shooting down every one who
lnlerfered with their legitimate business.
Several OF the above rancheros have re-
turned since and reported that nearly all
their stock was gone. IL seems that the
Indians have taken advantage of the alb
sence of the rancheros while before the
commission to steal their stock.
Mr.. Schuardt, United States special
agent at l'iedras Negras, writes to the San

negotiations for the return of stolen cap
