THEIR MICE.

Of this locality, and in their intense anA

Some two weeks since, they informed US
that the contractor, on the " Use 3nsin Cen

pany for $3.50 900, the next shot fired, was
that Phillips an / Colby had sael the same
R'y Company for s2j0000, each with
grave comments rs to financial consequent
ces etc. since the smoke Of their paper
volley mas ra.sed away, it tran>pires that
the Company were few Thousand behind
on payments and that they had assumed to
commence suits, not only for money due,
but for all that, woull becom, due besides
consequential dlmagcs etc. Yet we haze

to court by petition in bankruptcy, to be

1873. This IN itself is gI;c Astounding,
bat this is not the. only complaint, as the
above announcement IS daily cmbelished by
brlf column Of dirty inuenlocs, assump-
tious Of fraudulent practices by all concern
ed in its con:.trrction, gratnitons spocula-

the presumption Of our railway aspirations
without their consent.

We would have no formal protest to offer,
but to 90 in to Court with oae Of the Mu-

tempt to make up for Deficiencies in facts
by casting through the press a series of
covert attacks, which, having no founlla-
tions are pr-dently left out of shc com
plant, simply diacloses their real cause Of
action.
The complaint of one John T. pcBer-
neau, Plaintiff, dated February 2sth, 1873,
is now before rs, from which w1cinAkc the
following extracts, showing their whole
cause Of action, that our rrs icrs may julgc .
for themselves.

rornizc this b,w vov AZ tie bark OF thu
amc logs thai haze been bowling against
our railroad enterprises from he beginning
We, without the less, fear Of contradiction,
make the further statement Of facts, to- .
ait:
Tha: our present Railway officials nrv,r I
purchnsel dollars worth Of goods or
chs.tels of the Gigrn Of Pierce & Whining
for the Company. That til" goods were
purchased by Mr.. Ea.ton, the first con- {
tractor before the present managers had
ANYTHING to do with tie road.
That the petitioner has furnished tn
best of pr5of in his compmint that he IS
bu, the tocl Of Designing mon to cmbarrass
our road in this palpablc attempt to lnjure
its credit.
/ As the Company has iaid iron on the
4 road as far as comPluted, It's fair prcsump-
ton that farmers are amply secured for
right of way. That they raii their OH
! Gals and operatives is also another en-
medablc thing for anv cpnpHny to do.
That this stool-E ignon, DcB'rn"an had to
keep bis capitol locked up in his purchase
from the 2l.h % the 9th of Fcbrnary. is
truly heart rcnfing. Yet It might have
happened in tie p,a-nut trade, as he seems
\ much aLussd man ia hdrd t'srE.
