PASSENGER TAX CAsE.-The long pending
case of the Stale OF Maryland against the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, in which
the right of the State TO receive onc-Gfth of
tbe money paid by passengers on the Wash
ington Branch for fares, is involved, has nj
last been finally decided by the Supreme Court
in favor of the State. The amount due the
like S3l2, 900, which the Company refused TO
pay. A resolution was adopted in the House
Of Delegates directing the Attorney General
TO proceed against the Company by writ OF
scire yfacias, but this was defeated in The Sem
ate, and a substitute adopted by both branches
of the Legislature ordering a suit at law to be
brought for the recovery of the money. The
case was tried in the Superior Court for Balh-
more city in December, 1870, and decided
against the State by Judge Dobbin. 1t then
went TO the Court of Appeals, and the judg-
ment of the court below was reversed by
that tribunal. The Company then took an
appeal 10 the Supreme Court Of the United
States. AT the beginning Of the present term
the counsel for the State made motion TO
have the appeal dismissed for want Of jnrs-
diction, which motion the court overruled.
The case came up in The regular docket call,
and was argued some two months since. On
Monday a decision was made affirming the
judgment of the Court of Appeals. Justice
Miller dissented. The Company will have TO
pay into the Treasury of;he State about $780,

Sr. VALENTINES DAY.-Our an
cestors used to observe St. Valentine
in this way. 1.-The names of = select
number of one, with an equal num-
Der of the other sex, are put into some
vessel, and after that, every one
draws a name, which for the present
is called their Valentine, and is look
ed upon as good omen of being
man and wife afterwards. Brand
says, the custom of choosing Valen-
tines was a sport practised in the
houses of the gentry in England, so
early as the year 1476. The GUS
toms are still kept up in these mod
ern times, but the decision is not
made by lot as formerly. The lads
and lasses choose their Valentines,
and then send them missive, bearing
tokens of love or friendship. st Val
entine's day is profaned by great
many, by sending scurrilous pictures
or letters by which to vent their
spite. Such meanness is as low as it
is contemplate. We give below
some verses inspired by the return
of the day.

MIsTOOX HUNTISGTON FOR CIH-
CINNATI.-That whiskey, when ina
moderately guzzled, is a sad detractor
OF ones intellect, is we'll exemplifed
in the late trip of William Gorsuch,
hailing from Wheeling, and bound
for St. Louis. William arrived in
Huntington on Friday evening last
his excursion down the river being
fraught with incidents of a Polaric
character; that is, he drank whiskey
all the time he was on the boat, for
the purpose, he said, of keeping him.
self from freezing,-whiSkey, accord
ing to his views, being proof against
the chilly blasts of winter. The re
suit was, that when the steamer land
ed at Huntington, William supposed,
from the many church spires, mag
nihcent blocks of stores, and the
great activity upon our levee, that he
had landed at Cincinnati, and acting
upon this belief, enquired Of porter
the way to Gilmer's Grand Hotel
The porter, ever on the alert to COB
bic up stray twenty-five cent note,
shouldered the satchel of William and
marched him straight to the Mer-
chants Hotel. He Immediately en-
gagged a room, and nothing more was
heard of him until about six O'Clock
that afternoon, when he made great
clatter in his chamber, calling to him
the porter. The latter enquired his
wish. and was answered, $50 and Sc
cure me q seat at the theatre, and
hickman to call for me at eight
o'clock. The porter not knowing OF
the previous condition of the gentle
man instantly conJrred up the thought
that the occupant of No. % was a
little daft and 50 reported his suspi-
cions to Col. Scranage. The Col. in
stead of sending for hackman, sent
a magnificent throat ticker to No.
20. and a few minutes thereafter MIR.
Gorsuch was in the office of the no
tel looking somewhat Doggy about the
eyes, but otherwise in good TRIM
He then saw that he was in a strange
place, and felt somewhat chop fallen
upon being informed that he had mis-
taken Huntington for her rival, Cln-
cinuati. Mr. Gorsuch however CON-
plimented pretty little Huntington
and predicted for her magnificent
future.
