A case Of much interest was decided in the
supreme court Of New York the other day. One
William Newman sought to recover 500 900
from George II. Goddard for trespass commit
ted at the beginning Of the rebellion. In his
testimony the plaintiff stated that in May, 1851,
while engaged in the city of Camden, Ark, as
q merchant, his store was entered by the de-
PENDANT and others, who announced themselves
as sub committee of a vigilance committee.
Defendant, speaking on behalf Of his com pan
ions, stated to plaintiff that In consequence of
the recent seizure at Cincinnati Of 100 900 stand
of arms, intended for the use Of the people of
Arkansas, 1t had been determined to retaIiate
by seizing the property OF northern men; that
he was regarded as tit a subject as they could
fx upon in that city for the purpose, anu they
had come 70 carry out such purpose; that they
intended TO carry out their object effsctuaIly,
and he might rs well get out at once, and be
glad TO get of 50 well. Plaintiff stu hesitating
behind his counter, defendant took hold of him
and removed HIM from the store by force ac-
companied by threats of death if he offered any
opposition. They then took possession OF his
general stock OF dry goods, &C., amounting to
about $4,000, his clothes, and his papers, none
Of which he has seen since. Since the war he
brought suit in Arkansas, and recovered a
judgment OF s35 200, none Of which, however,
has ever been collected. The New York suit
was intended to recover damages for all the I'M
lawful acts OF defendant incident to the tres
pass, including the personal assault, breaking
up Of his business, the loss OF his clothing,
books and papers, and stock of goods. The
only defence offered was \ discharge in bank
Iuptcy, obtained in 1868 in favor of defendant.
The court held that the defendants discharge
in bankruptcy was not a bar to the action, and
submitted the case TO the jury on the question
OF damages. The jury found IN favor OF plain
tiff for sSi $40 in gold.

The assertions made by the opponents of the
Board Of Public Works that il is the desire of
the citizens that the improvements should be
carried on after the manner OF the old corpo-
ration, does not appear to be borne out by facts.
When the board came into power thew foupn
that number OF contracts which had been
given out under the corporation of Washington
were unfinished, and they proceeded to complete
them under the terms originally made. The
property holders along the line OF Improvements
under these contracts have, in almost every
instance, petitioned the board that the assets
ments should be made under the new rule and
not as was the case ander the old regime. Then
the general fund was only charged with one
halfthe cost ofthe improvements and the prop
erty-holders were compelled to pay the other
half. Now but one-third the expense Is charged
against the property-holder, the general fund
paying the balance. This doesn't look as
though our citizens were over anxious for a
return to "things as they were" doesit?

Fresh Danberries.
From the Danbury News.l

The cider apple is on the move,
making diseased bodies, desolate hearts,
wretched homes and cucumber pick
les.
With the display now required for
a first-class funeral, people are begin
ming to understand what are the terrors
of death.
When you feel depressed and dis
satisfied, and wherever you may look
naught but frowning skies meet your
view, wash yourself.
Men whose shirts are made at home
are rejoiced that the hot term is almost
over. A woman never attempts to fit
shirt to her husband only on not day,
and when to make move almost STILES
him.
There will be plenty of butternuts
and chestnuts this fall. Mothers are
hiding their extra pillow cases, and the
agricultural members of the community
are putting their guns in order.
"A horse ran away on Liberty-street
on Saturday afternoon, and a man on the
sidewalk, with wonderful presence of
mind, threw his hat at the animal,
screamed fire, and Immediately jumped
over fence and disappeared in cellar
way.
We are glad to announce, on reli-
able authority, that the earth is per-
fectly solid. This will be welcome intel
ligence to those people who have always
moved around as if they expected to fall
through every moment.
"A chap who has owed us seven dol
lars for almost rs many years, came IN
yesterday to consult our taste in the mat
ter of present to his oldest son. He
was quite anxious to know if row boat
would be as suitable as harp with a
gilt eagle on top.
Lawyer Princes office boy took a
good streak, Sunday afternoon, and
gave the Office floor thorough drench-
ing with water. Early in the evening
Mr.. Price came in with young lady
client, and the moment he struck the
wet floor one foot turned partly on its
edge, and described half circle with
wonderful velocity. He clutched at a
desk but missed it, when the other foot
gave out, and again he was half way
down but partly recovered, lost the
other foot again, then both feet, and
after vainly snatching at a chair, went
down full length, turning over the chair
and smashing the panel to the door of q
bookcase with one heel. To add to the
embarrassment of the affair, the lady re.
manned till it was over, and then alb.
ruptly left, and the next day there was
story in circulation that Mr.. Prince
had the tremens, and tried to murder
one of our most estimable young ladies
while in the fit. The office boy says il
he could only stand still long enough he
could give the particulars.

Railway Speed.

The London Engineer states that the
highest railway speeds in the world are
attained in England, and that the high
est of all is reached on the Great West
ern railway-the speed on the latter be-
ing given roundly as fifty miles per hour.
Instances are given, however, of sixty
five and seventy miles an hour, and the
Engineer thinks it would be possible to
lay permanent way SO well, and to main
tain it in such excellent order, that
trains may travel on it with perfect safe
ty at one hundred miles an hour-in-
deed, miles upon miles of such track
are now to be found on most of the
great lines, but nowhere can one humid
red miles of permanent way in perfec-
ton be found and, as a chain is no
stronger than its weakest link, so few
hundred yards of bad track will spoil,
for the purpose of travelling at one hun
dred miles an hour, whole line. The
really important question, argues the
Engineer, is, given the line and cars for
it, what shall the engine be like, and is
it possible to construct an engine at all,
which, with a moderate heavy train,
will attain and maintain velocity OF
100 miles an hour, on a line with no
grade heavier than say one in 800
After a thorough examination of the
question in all its bearings, the E'ngi
neer's figures prove that it is absolutely
impossible to obtain speed of 1Ol
miles an hour on railway, if the resist
ance is anything like 100 pounds pei

be virtue, and on the third of that
month a marked change came over the
spirit of the depositors. Over four
millions of the deposits were withdrawn
in the seven days following, and over
fourteen millions in the next twenty.
The 14th of October was the date of
the banks suspension. On the day
following Withdrawals ceased and re-
storation began. One of the causes
alleged by the banks themselves for
their suspension was the sudden with
drawal of country balances, and for
this the telegraph was responsible. 1t
not only took the news to the country
banks of the collapse of credit in the
city, but brought back their orders de-
handing their deposits in specie. The
Clearing House, too, was alleged to aid
in increasing the general collapse. Its
daily settlements in coin forced the
smaller banks into contracting their
loans, into sacrifices of property, and
finally into bankruptcy. Default at the
Clearing House became the Banquo's
ghost and appeared at the bank board
of all the smaller institutions. The
most universally accepted cause for the
panic of 1857 is the violent contraction
of bank loans Immediately after the
oath of August. And this was entirely
the action of the banks, and they hao
only themselves to blame. 1t was, too
the expansion of banks previous to the
panic that laid the foundation for the
memorable commercial crisis of 1857.

The Terrible Suicide of Mr.. G. G. Lyon.

Mr.. G. G. Lyon, a resident of Oak
Park, and a gentleman much esteemed
in Chicago, committed suicide on Tues
day afternoonin atheruncommon man.
ner. He went to Oak Park in the fore
noon, but instead of going home he
waited at the depot for the Omaha train,
and threw himself under the wheels of a
locomotive which was running at full
speed. His body, which was torn in
pieces and horribly mangled, was de-
posted in the vault of the Woodland
Cemetery. In his pockets were found
a razor and fragments of torn currency.
1t appears that Mr.. Lyon had been sub
iect for several years to occasional fits
of mental depression, and had been
known often to express desire to die
and be relieved of his troubles. He was
the author of several Sunday-sch
publications, and was the editor of the
National Sunday School Teacher. His
melancholy death will cause sorrow in a
wide circle of friends in this community.

What 1t Means.

The morning papers are doing what
they can to soothe the public alarm,
and prophesy pleasant things about
our railroads. But why not tell the
truth 4? The present crisis in railroad
affairs means
/. That the immense sums coming
into this country from abroad, for
Government and railway bonds, have
stopped for an indefinite period, or at
least for period of three to five years
hence.
2. That the enormous expenditures
of our people, based on this flood of
wealth from Europe, must cease alto
gether. Our women must dress less
extensively, and there must be less in
diligence in high-priced wines and
horses.
3. That we must pay in hard cash
and hard labor for our necessaries from
abroad.
4. That labor, as well as rents and
the price of land, must be ultimately
affected by this panic. There is hard
winter before us for the poor.
5. That the pinching poverty of
the people will enforce economy upon
our Government; and rascals, politi-
cal and commercial, will hereafter
be punished without mercy. An era of
comparative purity, as compared with
the past, has at last opened upon
us. The country will no longer tolerate
financial crime and waste in high
places.
Now let our people make up their
minds TO take off their coats and 90 to
work. -NeW York Graphic.

Vanderbilt on What's the Matter.

Commodore Vanderbilt, in converse
ton with press reporter, is reported
to have said;
"Tll tell you what's the matter. Peo-
pie undertake to do about four times as
much business as they can legitimately
undertake. There are a great many
worthless railroads started in this coun-
try, without any means to carry
them through. Respectable banking
houses in New DIRK make themselves
agents for the sale of the bonds of the
IA lroads in question, and give kind of
moral guarantee of their genuineness.
The bonds soon reach Europe, and the
markets of the commercial centers, from
the character of the indorsers, are soon
flooded with them. These worthless
roads prejudice the commercial credit
of our country abroad. Building rail-
roads from nowhere to nowhere at public
expense is not legitimate undertaking.
l might make illusions to Texas, Md
land and other new railroads, but l am
a friend of the iron roads and like to
see them stretching to every corner of
the United States. They help to develop
our commerce and civilization, and
ought to be encouraged. All have to
say is, when railroads are to be built,
don't victimize the public to build them.
When l have some money, buy rail
road stocks or something else, but /
don't buy on credit 1 pay for what l
get. People who live too much on
credit generally get brought up with a
round turn in the long run. The Wall
street averages ruin many man there,
and are like faro. Mistrust will be en-
gendered till we as nation do our bust
ness on more solid basis and pay as

A Dentists Revenge.

A curious story of dentists revenge
comes from Paris. M. Sandre, while
returning from visit to patient, heard
sounds of distress, and fastened 20 sue
cor person who was lying on the side
of the road. This individual sprang up
suddenly and rushed on M. Sandre, who
knocked him down with his forceps and
tied his hands. The malefactor soon
recovered and asked to be released.
The dentist told him he could only
escape on condition that he should
sacrifice tooth. After some discussion
it was agreed that the tooth should be
delivered to the forceps, and the dentist.

Paint for Rough Buildings.

cheap coloring for rough buildings:

of water then add one quart of raw
linseed oil then take, say 10 pounds

and add water enough to make it thin

gill turpentine to the linseed oil. If
red does not suit, add anything to alter
the color. We used paint made as above
on rough buildings twelve years ago,
and it is almost or quite as bright now
as when we put it on. To make the
building look well, you want to paint
the corner boards with white lead
