An Important Decision and an importnn

An Important Decision and an importn MT
Error.
y peragraph is going the rounds, headed
important Railroad Decision, that presents
a terrible mangling of facts, and does very
grave injustice to Mr.. John f. Holmes, the
veteran conductor Of the accommodation
train between this city and Gardiner. The
paragraph refers TO the decision Of the SUI
prenle court in the case of Wilson Cayill, the
fireman killed in the railroad collision betw ec
special train of cars and the accommodation
train. :. short distance below iIallowell, on
the -.tl of June, 1871. The paragraph alluded
to contains this statement:
"a Jury declared that the life of Cavll, he
being in the exercise of due care and dill
gence, was lost by the gross negligence and
carelessness of the employees of the accom-
mediation train"
Sosiebody has blundered inexcusably in
that statement. If that is a correct report OF
the decision of the court, the court is greatly
in error. 1t is well known to every one con-
yersant with the facts in the case, that there
was no negligence or carelessness on the
Phtt tIle eihpioyeeS VI tic ACCOMMODATES
train That train had the right of way, and
the employees on the excursion or special
train were clearly at fault in the matter. AT

train, acknowledged frankly that the track
belonged to the accommodation train, and
that he Mr.. Merrill) was at blame for not

Several coops of fine looking hens and
roosters were sent from this city yesterday,
to Portland, where the poultry exhibition will
open to-day. 1t is to be hoped that the hen
fever will not prevail among these fond bid
dies during their absence from home. 1t is
reported that for several days the hens in this
vicinity have been dressing up for the Port
land convention. There's good deal of fuss
and feathers about it, but still the assembled
wisdom of the hen community may lead to
cackle-ations that will increase the crop of
eggs-cellent layers. But we won't attempt to
estimate the number of infantile hens previ-
Gus to their passing through the protracted
process of incubation.
