An Important Railroad Case.

The case of the Administrators of
Peck VS.. the New York Central Rail-
road, which was tried at the recent
circuit in Chenango County, has just
been concluded. A correspondent Of
the Binghampton Times gives the fol-
lowing summary: 'The facts, briefly,
are these: Peck was riding from Utica
to Albany. He had bought his ticket
and entered one of the common pas
senger coaches. This was crowded.
The conductor came along, and Peck,
being an invalid, asked for seat, and
was told to go into one of the palace
cars attached to the train, and there
he could find place to sit. He did so.
The conductor of the palace car asked
Peck to see his ticket. Peck showed
him the one he had purchased at the
Office at Utica. The conductor of the
car informed him that the ticket was
not sufficient; that he must pay extr a
fare for riding in the palace car. Peck
refused to do so, claiming that he was
entitled to seat; that the overloaded
condition of the other coaches had
driven him into the palace car. The
result of the war of words was the
stoppage Of the train and the expul-
sion of Mr.. Peck. On his return home
Mr.. Peck brought suit for damages.
1t was tried year or more since, and
o verdict Of $4,000 obtained. The
railroad company appealed. The case
was sent back for new trial. In the
meantime Mr.. Peck had died, but his
administrators continued the suit. 1t
was tried, as said above, at the present
circuit, and resulted in a verdict for
the administrators of $4,000"

Practical Results Of Encouraging Home In
dusiv.


The following comprehensive state
ment of the results of q little invest
ment in manufacturing establish
ment in the town of Canton, Ohio, is
we'll worthy of study by the people of
SONS of the towns of this State. 1t
contains also good lesson for the
Changers and farmers generally OF the
State. Let them assist to establish
lutte factories, agricultural implement
manufactures sugar beet factories,
ETC., and the result to the towns and
the surrounding agricultural interests
will be as they were in Canton. Read
the statement:
A good illustration of what manu-
facturers can do for town may be
found in the history of Canton, Ohio,
where Balls reapers are made. When
the inventor went there it was one of
the dullest and least productive towns
in the State, retrogading in wealth and
population. But some of the citizens
appreciated it and its possibilities of
Improvement. Ball asked for $4,000
to help start a mandatory; it was
raised for him. In five years the town
had doubled in population and trebled
its taxable valuation; and out of the
investment had sprung two large az
ricultural implement manufactures,
employing $500 men, one of plows,
exclusively, one of stoves and hollow
ware, one Of reaper and mower knives,
one of saddlery hardware, two of horse
rakes, one of farm wagons, one of cul-
tivators, one of wrought iron bridges,
one of soaps, and others of miscella-
neous character. In supplying this
large population market for farm
produce has also been created,
which is building up all the region
round about, and carrying wealth and
comfort into homes within circuit of
twenty miles.--[Sac. Record.

The Southern Democrats restored
to power are doing very little to
increase the talent in the United
States Senate of their section. In this
respect, their position is little better
than that of the carpet-baggers. Mr..
Colbert E. Withers. Just chosen Sena-
tor from Virginia, is said to be very
ordinary man. He was elected over
such able competitors as r. M. T. Hun
ter and A. A. H. Stuart. Railroad i'm
terests and Confederate war record
carried the day for Withers. Georgia
had before passed over Toombs and
Stephens, and elected Gen. Gordon,
anol her rebel soldier, without much
besides this fact to recommend him.
Missouri has displaced Frank Blair for
Mr.. Bogy, whose chief recommend
alton was his money. Maryland
chooses Mr.. Dennis, railroad con-
tractor. Neither Ransom nor Mer-
rimon of North Carolina, nor Nor
wood of Georgia, nor Cooper of Ten
nessee, nor Goldthwaite of Alabama,
nor Davis ofWest Virginia, nor John
son of Virginia, are near the average
in ability Of the Senators from the
older States of the North. The South
has not first-class man in the Senate,
and Bayard of Delaware, and Steven
SON of Kentucky are the only Sena-
tors she has that can claim to be
counted even in the second rank.
With men like Sumner, the Morrills,
Edmunds, Conkling, Thurman, Sher-
man, Morton, Carpenter and Schurz
(for the latter really belongs to the
North), the North is as immeasurably
her superior in intellect as she is in
wealth and in physical preponderance
in the general relations Of the Sec
tions.

especially that most favored section called
Santa Barbara, becomes known to the world,
1t is not surprising that widespread and

points of interest to tourists, invalids and
home-seekers, which we are now able to do
with greatly increased facilities.
While the PRESS seeks to promote tine

wondrOus variety and fertility of the soil tn
almost unlimited range of products Whic
flourish there without irrigation, will b

Cleanse the Managers.

The managers of horses, COWS and
oxen, when supplied with cut fodder
and meal, frequently becomes offensive
ly sour, in consequence of the decompo-
sition of the wet meal that adheres to
the corners of the feed boxes. This is
apt to be the case especially when ami
mails do not lick the corners entirely
clean. If a small portion of feed is al
lowed to remain in the manger only q
portion OF a warm day it will become
sour, and the offensive effiuvia will
faint the entire manger, so that an ami
NAL will often refuse to eat his accus-
toned allowance, unless compelled by
keen hunger. The true way to manage
managers is, to scrape the corners clean
at least twice per day, removing every
partacle of rejected food. Then, if the
Manager does not smell as sweet as q
butter bowl, let the corners be washed
out with hot water, wiped clean, and a
handful of caustic Stacked lime be
sprinkled in the manger. If managers
are kept clean they will seldom become
Extensively sour. If an animal leaves a
portion of his feed, a new mess should
never be given on the rejected feed
