The Laws of the Ran,

A list of decisions has lately been pub
lished by a paper devoted to railroad
subjects, which may be of interest to
those who travel by rail.
The legal definition of a passenger is
ga person who undertakes, with the con-
sent of the carrier, to travel in the con-
veyance provided by the latter, other
wise in the service of the carrier as such.
Railway companies are bound to car
nv all who offer themselves, unless they
are offensive in person or conduct, or the
cars are already full.
Waiting at the depot with the inten-
ton to take the train, is sufficient to
constitute the relation of passenger and
carrier.
GOOD for this day only" printed
upon a ticket, has been decided by the
courts to be of no effect. The passenger
has paid his money and is entitled to
transportation.
1t has also been decided by New
York court that ticket between any
two points is good either way, but the
decision is doubtful one.
Any injury to the person of the pas
senger through the negligence of the
agents of the railway, subjects the lat
ter to damages, and any loss of bag
gage-it must be only such as is neces-
sary to the comfort of traveler-can
be recovered by civil process, and the
contents of trunk can be proved by
the oath of the plaintiff.

Extract from letter from Mrs. j. C.
Aldrich, WauSeon, Fulton Co., o. ar.
p. Hall 81 Co., Gentlemen. Please send
me one dozen bottles of your Sicilian
Hair Remover. Our bald and gray do
not want to be out. My mother is liv-
ing recommendation of the results from
the use of the Remover. Being almost
seventy years old, and having worn a
wig over thirty years, it seems miracle
to those who have known her so long SO
bald, and what little hair she had being
perfectly white; now her wig thrown
aside, her hair grown out, and a smooth
glossy brown as in girlhood. Hoping
you may long continue to pour blessings
on the heads of the afflicted, | remain,
yours truly"
Such evidence. with the Endorsement
of the great chemists of New England,
DIR. A. A. Hayes and S. Dana Hayes,
should satisfy any one, which of the
preparations produce the best results.

Failure of the Arctic Expedition
DEATH OF CAPT. HALL.


Last Saturday brought the news from
the Arctic expedition of Capt. Hall,
which left Washington June 8, 1871, for
New York, where it stopped two days
and then left for New Foundland, where
it arrived July IS, where they were re-
ceived with banquet, and then sailed
again, arriving in Greenland July 81.
They then started for the north pole,
or the Polar sea, which many suppose to
exist, and through the usual suffering OF
all expeditions in that region, penetrated
north with the Polaris, farther than any
ship had ever been before.
Now we have the news that Capt.
Hall himself died on the 6th of Novem-
Der, 1871. He had returned from a
sledge expedition, Oct, Sth, and was
taken ill that night and the next morning
the left side of his body was paralyzed
He got better, but had relapse, became
delirous and died the 9Th of November
of appoplexy, and was buried about 8
half mile south east of the ships wa
ter guards.
This news is brought by 10 of the sur
vivors who became separated from thu
ship during gale, and who were left oil
an ice foe, where they had most pc
carious existence for 1876 days, finall,
working their way south till they wer
picked up by the steamer Tigress, ant

strait about fifteen miles wide. Their

north. The rescued party suffered yer,
much during their dreary drift iron
hunger and cold. For the last tw
months they ate raw seal and polar bea

party separated from the ship, it wa

The disaster to the arctic expedition
and the somewhat contradictory reports
as to the cause OF the death of Capt
Hall, give a painful interest to that ex
ploration. In some quarters it is stated
that Capt. Hall was an impulsive man
of fiery and obstinate will, and not well
calculated to command such an under
taking. On the other hand we believe
there was some rivalry toward him when
the expedition was projected, of which
this criticism may be the fruit. Farther
particulars will be awaited with much
interest.

A REvENGEFUL TRAvELER.-A re-

The smasher flung the bag against the
wall savagely, and then threw it on the

The death of Chief Justice Chase
takes from the country one of our great
est Statesmen. He was an early anti
slavery man, and originally democrat
his relations to that party for while
were similar to those of Mr.. Seward tc
the whig party, both standing in advance
of their respective parties on the subject
of slavery, and at the formation of the
republican party both took front rank
as leaders. Mr.. Chase served the coun.
try with great acceptance in the Senate
and still greater as Secretary of the
Treasury during the most trying period
of the war, from which place he was ap
pointed by Lincoln as Chief Justice Of
the United States. During the past few
years he had not fully affiliated with thu
republicans, and it is not unlikely he
felt the ambition which affects SO many
of our great men at advanced age in life
His great services to the country, how
ever, will stand in history and of which
we may feel just pride. His successor
is not yet named and probably will mo-
be till next fall.

will meet in June to make up their re-

over two millions of stock was sub.
