The Huron & Fostoria Railroad, from
Prout's Station, on the Lake Erie Divis-
ion of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, to
Fostoria, capital stock $3.50, 900, has
been incorporated by Miss Grace A.
Trowbridge and others. The incorpora-
tors reside in Newark and are interested
in the opening of the cew road from
Huron to Prout's. The same parties
have also secured a charter from Huron
to Fremont, and we have no doubt the
people of this city will ere long be called
upon to extend aid to the enterprise.
Last Tuesday evening, as little four
year-old daughter of Thomas Freely was
standing on the sidewalk in front of
Maurice Oberlan's house crying bitter
ly, Oberlan rushed out in a violent rage
and knocked the little thing over two OF
three times. Mrs. Freely, hearing the
noise, ran out, and seeing the state Of
affairs upbraided Oberlan for his brutal
conduct, whereupon he turned on her
and struck her three times with broom
handle, knocking her down, and then
the cowardly ruffian kicked her in the
face several times, all the time using
abusive epithets of the vilest description,
Oberlan was promptly arrested anG
brought before the Mayor, who finet
him $27. Next morning he was rear
rested for slander, Mrs. Freely laying
her damage at $4,000. He was baileC
to the tune of $2OO.-[Upper Sandusk.

? We notice that the Supreme Court o
: Ohio has decided the case of Peter Val
, Nest vs.. Rezin W. Shawhan. The ques
. ton decided interests every manufactur
er and mechanic in the State. Shaw
: han had ordered Van Nest to make
carriage for him, and agreed to pa,
, seven hundred dollars for it. Van Mes
made the carriage according TO order
and Shawhan would not take it, bu
threw it on Van Nests hands. Van Mes
! then sued Shawhan for the price of th,
carriage. Shawhan claimed that Var
Nest could not sue for anything but hi
damages, which he claimed wasnothing
as the carriage was worth Just what h,
agreed to pay for it-seven hundred
dollars. The case was tried six times
J four times in the Common Pleas-twic,
} before Judge jackson, and twice befor,
Judge Pillars-once in the Distric
Court, and now in the Supreme Court
} and on each trial decided in favor of VaI
} Nest. The Supreme Court decided tina
Shawhan must take the carriage, ant
, pay Van Nest seven hundred dollar
with the interest. So that the law is
that when a mechanic makes an article
to order the customer is bound to take
and if he don't the mechanic may su
him for the price. = [Tifin Star.
