ENGLISH EMIGRATION TO VIRGINIA.-The
Richmond Enquirer is credibly advised that
during the coming spring there will be hun
Devonshire, and other localities in Old Eng
land, emigratng to Virginia. These settlers
are generally people of considerable means,
who prefer having lands of their own in Vir-
ginia, purchased at reasonable rates and yield

SO per acre per annum. In the county of
Amelia number Of English families have found
homes, under the auspices of M. M. Biacker,
ESQ.,, and they have bought $780, 900 worth Of

will doubtless be instrumental1n bringing many
others of their countrymen to Virginia.

VERDICT AGAINST A RAILROAD COMPANY
Yesterday in the Circuit Court of this District
tne SUIT OF Mary E. Norris against the Wash
ington, Midland and Great Southern railroad
was concluded, verdict being rendered for the
plaintiff. The facts as set forth were that on
January so, 1873, Mrs. Norris was on her way
home TO Fairfax Station, Va, in the cars OF
that company, and was for some reason carried
about two miles beyond the station, where the
cars we're stopped. When she demonstrated
with the conductor as to being left there so far
from home, he said he would take her TO the
next station, and see that she was returned by
tie down train. After parleying awhile she got
OF, and was compelled to walk home. The night
was dark and the ground covered with snow
and ice, and from the exposure and frequent
falls she contracted terrible cold, resulting in
long sickness She claimed 50 600 damages, and
the jury awarded $500. Mr.. j. @. Wilson np-
peared for the plaintiff, and W. S. Cox for the
company.
