! that requiring them to buy tickets
before entering a car. An Ohio court
has decided that railway company
has a right TO make and enforce resu-
fatIons compelling passen sers to buy
tickets before entering cars, and in
case they arc elected for refusing TO
pay the extra sum demanded In such
cases by the conductor, there can be

New Haven AMI Hartford raiiroa 4
through the city Of New Yors, was
pushe about roughly by 8 gang Of
men, who boarded the car and robbed
him of satehel containing bonds val
eui at $4,000. He sued the COM.
pr,ny to recover the value of the bonds
and the jury rendered ver,iict in his
favor, with interest from the date os
robbery, making in all $40, 7s2 47.
In suit brought By married wo-
man against the New York and Harlem
Railroad Company, to recover damages
for the death of her husband, an ern.
ploye of the company, which, i, was
claimed, resulted from the earlessness
Of another employe, the court decided
against the plaintiff. on the ground
that when reasonable efforts and pre-
cautions to procure safe and skillfu!
servants are used. the master is rot
liable.
The Supreme Court of pennsylvs-
MIA decided Jan. 4, 1875, in the case
Of Kirby against the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad Company, that per
sons engaged about the premises of
railroad companies, although not EN-.
ployed by the company, should only
have the same right TO recover against
the company for an injury as sne Of
It's employees.
In Oregon the Supreme Court Of
that State decided that q cor tract
between railroad company and an
other party, to cause the line Of their
railroad to be located on certaiu
route, and a depot to be erected at q
certain place. in consideration of the
payment of certain sum Of money
was contrary t" public policy that
the public have an interest in the 10.
cation of the line Of railroad and its
depots, an | an agreement which tends
TO lead persons to violate or betray the
trusts reposed in them will not be
enforced.
From these decision of the high
courts of law in the several States Of
the Union, it will be observed that
the railroad corporations are not sions
held to the street accountability, but
that passenger using these public roads
are required to nhey all useful and
needtul regulations instituted by COM
paHieS for the better management Of
their roads and the convenience Of eas

SEEDS THAT Will GROW !

An experience of nearly THIRTY
II Years in the Flower and Vegetable
Seed business has convinced Us that there
are but TWO KINDS OF SEED i'll the
world, viz: those that will, and those that
will not, grow. The former are priceless
the latter worthless. The sale or utter
ance of worthless Seed, through cupidity
or lack of business standing, raises SAD
havoc with the business of Legitimate
Seedsmen. For nearly thirty years past
we have made the growth and procure
ment of NONE But GOOD SEED 4

or native seed growers from whom we
procure such of our supplies rs we do not

Offering us any but First Class Seeds. To
this one point we attribute orr success,
and the universal verdict of the Press and
People is, thar seed procured OF BRIGGS

To rive customers the benefit of our
own actual experiences, we issue an IL

JOttings From Vancleavesville.

Editor Register.-As hardly ever
see anything in your paper from our
community, think l will volunteer to
act as reporter for while, as think
that our embryo city is entitled to
word now and then in some of the pa
pers. Never mind, wait till Vancleaves-
Vile gets large enough, and we will
start paper Of our own, and then the
Register and "Independent will have
to look out for their laurels. Well,
the faces of our citizens will never get
back in the right shape, if this weather
continues much longer, for some of
them are beginning to look very dole
full. But the young people don't "mind
the weather, rs it brings them pleasant
dreams of merry times, of juggling
music and whispered "confabs" with
some fair damsel; and perhaps these
same damsels are not at all averse to
the rulings of king Probabilities" if
he really does rule The weather.
The Good Templar Lodge is working
finely under the able guidance of our
most Worthy Chief, d. NJ Deck, Esq.
Two weeks ago we had an open Tenn
perance meeting and many had the
pleasure of listening to stirring lectures
from Major Bristor of Martinsburg, and
Jno. NJ. Barker, Esq, of our Lodge.
Although the weather was very disa,
greeable we had good crowd and all
seemed to be pleased.
Vancleavesville has developed anoth-
er course of industry which we think
other communities would do well to
follow. D. NJ. Deck & Bro. have de-
cided to carry on market garden.
We understand that they will sell their
vegetables in Martinsburg. They have
already commenced preparing their
ground, and we think they will find
| it profitable business. There is some
talk of the "Odd Fellows" "Good
Templars" and "Grangers" uniting in
building hall here, and we think that
it is very probable that it will he done.
| We notice that VIM. Deck Esq, has
put up neat little blacksmith shop.
The schools in the neighborhood are
working very well. The one at Van
cleayesville taught by our worthy
friend Mr. IIouser is working partic-
uarly well under his able guidance.
The one at "Nanmetres," taught by
Il. Is. Garrett is also well attended and
seems TO be progressing.
Two OF our young citizens had a
little 'onpleasantness" one day last
week which resulted in avery muddy,
if not a bloody combat.
No bones were broken, and very lit
tie blood shed, but we think that it
will take some tall washing to get the
mud out of their clothes.
The mud has been very deep in our
streets, owing to their not being prop
erly paved, and as our street cars were
not running. navigation was rather I'M
/ pleasant. Well | am taking up too
much space so will close for this time.
Yours, Respectfully,
MEMO

4 Royal Organ.

The stomach has been well named
"royal organ" since it sways and con-
trolls the entire system, every gland, It's
sue and nerve sympathizing with it as the
servants of prince sympathize with
their master. Each one of them is fed
and sustained by it-even the brain itself,
the center of sensation, is absolutely de-
pendent upon it for sustenance. Conse-
nuentlv. when the stomach fails to per-
form its all-impOrtant office, the Subordi-
nate organs also falter in their duty. The
reason why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have such a wOndrOuSly beneficial effect
upon the general health, and are such
reliable preventive of disease, is that they
sneedilv overcome weakness or disorders
Of tbe stomach, and thus insure complete
nourishment of the entire system ana
bealthful performance of its various func-
lions. Unlike those stimulants whose al
coholic principle is unmOditied by judi
c;ous medication, the spirituous OASIS OF
these Bitters, which is of the purest de-
scription. holds in solution herbal altera-
tiyes and invigorants to which foremost
rank has been assigned in materla medlca.
But it is not alone the fact that these SOW
ereign botanic elements enter INTO tie
composition of the Bitters that constitutes
them such benign tonic and corrective
but also that they are so happily comDin,
ed that the full effect of each is exerteo
upon the disordered or debilitated system.
The digestive and secretive organs are the
first to experience their beneticent opera
ton, which extends, by sympathy. to the
brain, the nerves and the circulation.
The influence thus exerted is fruitful OF
those great sanitary results which have
built up the reputation of this truly ma
tiopal medicine.

years accounts, rs well ~ lin not a few
eases accounts for previous years. My
waiting has been in vain, scarcely q per-
son has come forward To settle their ac-
counts. Those indebted will please take
notice that there must be a limit TO this
waiting and defcrring, that IL requires
money to pay my bills, now over due,)
and that promises will not answer. Mo-
ncy must have, and do hope that all
indebted, will make an honest effort To
settle their Indebtedness, as early as pos
sible, not dcfcrring il at most over 30

may be complied with, that costs aud un-
