INTERESTING TO STREET-CAR PASSENGERS
A suit to recover damages for injuries re-
ceiyed while riding on a street ralroad-car
has just been decided in the City Court of
Brooklyn, n. Y, the plaintiff recovering
s., 900 damages. The plaintiff was in the
act of getting on the front platform of one
of the company's cars when the driver sud-
denly loosened the brake and started the
horses. The rapidly-revolying brake struck
plaintiff in the face and Knocked him into
the street. While lying there the wheels Of the
car passed over one of his hands, which was
so injured that 1t was subsequently found
necessary to ampuiate three of the ingass
at the time of the casualty the rear platform
and the inside of the car were full, and there
were several persons standing on the front
platform. The defence was that the plaintiff
got on the car with number of other boys,
and was skyhrking" on the front plat.
form when he fell off. The company claimed
that the boy had no right on The front plat
form, and that therefore they could not be
held responsible. The court charged that it
was negligence for a party to get on the front
platform Of car even though the rear plat
form and the inside were crowded; but il
in this case the car was stopped at the time
the plaintiff tried to get on, and the driver
did not give him sufficient time and started,
then tue company was responsible.

LOUISA COUNTY, February 18, 1874.
At Treyllian's depot, Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, saw to-day and yesterday brisk
business going on in the delivery OF tobacco
from the surrounding country, and notwitll-
standing prices rule low for the "wted :"
there seems to have been among the farmers
of this section rs extensive preparations for
the next crop rs usual.
I think the wheat is looking wholesome
Of the early seeding on good land rcmarka-
bly, well.
The Green Springs Farmers Club held -
meeting on the 18th instant ut r. r. Chew
ning'S, with full attendance, and considered
the subjects of rotation Of crops and the
fence question. A good rotation Of crops
was thought to be tobacco, wheat, grass,
wheat and grass again, which COMPLETES the
rotation and embraces the six-ield system.
Another good rotation, commencing With
corn, is corn, oats Ito be ploughcd under or
cut, wheat, grass, wheat, grass again which
completes it's rotation and embraces the
seven-icld system.
The fence question was held to be one Of
vast Importance, and n resolution to this
effect adopted:
THAT the labor and expense Of keeping
up the fencing of the country was immense,
and without corresponding benelr, and
therefore the present tcnce law should be
repealed, and a law enacted requiring the
owners of all animals to restrain them from
running at large"
The secretary Of the meeting was instruct
ed to lay the matter before the Legislature
through our representatives in the House OF
Delegates and Messis. Ragand and Herndon
in the Senate, and respectfully request that
they use their best efforts to secure the re-
peal and enactment OF said laws.
While upon rotation the following was
adopted as Il good way to improve poor
land:
"Sow oats and plough them under about
June, SOW peas and plough them under ia
the fall, and seed to wheat and grass, using
plaster on oats and peas" FARMER.

ing was called to order, and Captain Waters,

Fourth Corporal, j. G. Woodward; and
Quartermaster and Commissarv, G. W. S.
Tur6er. The name selected for the COM
pany is the "West Augusta Guards" The
membership already numbers between sixty
and seventy men, and will doubtless be in
creased TO near hundred.
I understand that the portraits of the late
Thomas j. Niche and Colonel John Il.
Baldwin, which were ordered by the bar OF
StaUnton, have been completed, and will
soon'be placed upon the walls of the court
room. They are liie.sze photographs, and
were painted in Baltimore.
At Il called meeting of the City Council,

in re.ald to the erection of passenger
deros on New street where it intcrsects the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad comnuni-
cation was received from President Garrett,
who is now at the Virginia Hotel in our city,
stating that while the company were dcsir-
Gus of aifording every facility for passenger
business ut Staunton The erection OF depot
at the point referred to will be impractlcable
without the removal Of the front (twelye feet
Of the Bumgardner warehouse and the open

the use of the Valley Railroad Company.
This being done, the Valley Railroad Com"
panv will proceed at once to erect suitable

A communication was also received from
Dir. j. Bamgardner proposing to give up
the twelve feet in front OF his warehouse
and remove that portion Of the warehouse
standing upon said portion asked for by the
Valley Railroad Company upon the follow

I'd, that the Valley Railroad Company will
erect permanent passenger depot on the

Knox. Controller of the Treasury, asking
that the 10 per cent. and premium of the
100000 in United States bonds deposited
tor the security Of the Merchants National
Bank be sold. and the same. amounting to
about 100000. be distributed equally
among the creditors Of the bank. They base
this application upon tue ground that the
city is Sorely pressed for funds to pay its
employees and TO continue certain public inn
provcncnls now in Il condition not to be
abandoned. 1t is thought that if this is done
Colonel Adams, the receiver, will be able,
with other collections, TO declare dividend
Of at least % per cent. to all the creditors.
