informal manner, waited upon Conductor
Aiken, of the Kent County train on its
passage to the Hook, and informed him
1h"t the running was in violation of our
sunday law and that the citizens had
expressed determination to have the Iow
respected. Mr.. Aiken said he WAS under
superior authority, and must ask for in.
s'ructions, at the same time expressing his
desire to comply with all legal measures.
Hihce then Attorney General PENNINGTON
has been written to by parties here. and he
mas advised them that the running is in
violation OF the law. lie further advises
that, to meet the case, it is necessary that
formal complaint be alleged by any citizen
before Justice of the Peace, whose dutv
1t shall be to secure the arrest of the officers
OF the train and hold them as in other
cases of misdemeanor,

That CLAYTON LAND CLAIM CAsE.-Al-
though it has been three or four years since
the Whartenby claim to Clayton was
established, there are still about a dozen of
the property holders who have refused to
settle-refused to buy their real estate
twice, to use their own language. Senator
Bayard, counsel for Whartenby, now pro
poses to make final settlement, and to this
end has notified parties here that he will
be at Clayton on Tuesday next Aug. Sd, to
settle some lines for the R. R. Co., at which
time he must close up the business, he says,
or commence suits in the U. S. courts. In
letter to Col. Douglas Mr.. B. says:

towards those people, and my desire to
