Let Bergh be Abated.

1t Is obviously scandalous that a per.
son who is capable, either because he is
q blocKhead or because he is a brute,
either through stupidity or through
malice, of playing the fantastic tricks
before high heaven with other peoples
feelings and other peoples rights in
which Bergh has for now too many years
been persistently indulging, should be
clothed, as by bill now pending at AL
bany it is proposed to clothe him, with a
sort of general unlimited jurisdiction
over all the valuable stock of the CON-
munify, extending to the practical con-
tscation of all four-footed animals as to
the true uses and services OF which there
may any dispute arise between their
lawful owners and this selC-appointed
dictator of the highways and the byways
of New York. 1t is impossible that such
a bill. should have been born of anything
but impudent persistency on the part OF
Bergh, and tnoughtless sentimentalism
on the part of other people. Bergh is
past cure. But if the people whose votes
are necessary to inflict this new dispen-
sation of Bergh upon US have any con-
cern about their own future they will do
well to think twice before they leap once
at the crack OF this prepos ferrous PERSONS
pestiferous whip. We have had enough

III. Il ID. and the p. G.. & St. H., Jointly
lie alleged that in February, 1873, TIT
defendants were jointly engaged in on
Grating a line OF railroad from Cincin
natl to Chicago, over which he shippct
twenty cases of tyroth, and that it Wal
injured by the defendants permitting i
to be frozen. The defendants pleaded
that the plaintiff had brought an actor
against The Cincinnati, Hamilton Il Day
ton Railroad Company Tor the same in
jury, in the Court vi Common Pleas, in
which Il Judgment WAS rendered in favor
OF the deIepuant. The Court held thai
the Judgment against one Of the de!tn
dants was u bar to an action agninst
both on the ground that the liability al
legged was joint liability, and dismissed
the case.
Mike Ryan is urging suit against the

negligence in unloading barge loud ol
brick they had agreed to deliver to the
| plaintiff. whereby, BY the alleged care.
lessness, the barge was sunk and u
| quantity Of the brick lost. The amoun;
claimed for the barge was $1,000, and loi
the brick $3.50. The defendants deny
negligence on their part, and claim shat
tho barge was unsound, whereby the loss
occurred. They also claim that the
plaintiff permitted the barge to remain
alter 1t was sunk, thereby causing un-
necessary injury. Case in progress.
Louisa Wanle is making matters warm
fol- George Black, in Judge Avcry's
Courtroom, by claiming that George
caused her leg TO be broken by the negli.
gence Of his drayman, and asking ~, 900
damages. The pl,intitf states that us
she was passing along Front street, be-
tween Main and Sycamore, on the lst Of
April, 1873, drayman in the employ
ment OF the defendant, by the careless
manner In which he relied the barrels OF
the dray, caused one OF them to knock
her down ON the pavement, by Which her
right leg was broken; that she was con-
fined for four months, and is now per-
manently crippled. The case is still In
progress.
The will of George Dominick was pro.

sisters; he revOkes the provision made |
for her, becoming a part of the residue
of the estate, and is divided between his |

RET, MRS. TAN COTT.

An item Is passing around to the effect
that Mrs. Van Cott, the itinerant revival
tst, told at recent meeting that she
spent five days and nights without tast-
ing food or nourishment of any kind save
little lemonade. She had made a vow
TO God that she would eat nothing until
He listened to her prayers and in an
swer poured out His Holy Spirit marvel
ously in two places that she named, thus
yielding to her double blessing. Mrs.
Van Cott says that during the five days
she knew no hunger, but on the evening
Of the last day she felt in her soul that
the blessing wds coming, and said to her
friends, "You may prepare breakfast for
me Tomorrow" and sure enough news
Of the outpouring came simultaneously
with the breakfast. We doubt very
much whether this is healthy doctrine 10
teach, but Mrs. Van Cott is given to Just
such extravaganzas.
We remember hearing her devote the
entire time of Sunday morning sermon
60 telling about series Of wonderfully
large and outrageously painful carbun-
sles- equal to these that lately troubled
our worthy Mayor-with which the Lord
Afflicted her once upon time when she
was announced to preach out West. She
nevertheless vowed that she would meet
her engagements, and though cast On a
bed of sickness and pain she had faith
that God would cause her boils to burst
b time for her to go, and He did.
II this seems irreverential to readers
II can not seem more 30 than II did to us
when told by Mrs. VANCoIT, and the very

the carbuncles appeared.
We do not believe God performs mira.

SINCE street car companies of this city
make no adequate provisions for the &C.
commodation of their patrons, some
thing must be done. Where is the man
or company of men who will establish a
line Of omnibuses to and from the West
End? Many men complain that busi-
ness is dull. Here is chance to make
money and at the same time benefit the
public. New York has omnibus lines
running on streets parallel with street
car routes, and they are real blessing
to the public. The price charged is
more than on the cars and people will
tngly pay 1t rather than be crushed to
death. The omnibuses take in only as
many as can be comfortably seated. A
lady can go down town shopping or to
an evenings entertainment in those
stages without coming out all crumpled
and torn. If line OF omnibuses be
started In this city it will be largely pat
Fonlzed at once, and we hope this sug-
gestion will be favorably considered
and acted upon by some of our capital
lists.
