SMITHS ISLAND EsTATE.-In the United
States Circuit Court, Judge Hughes presid-
ing, on Thursday, judgment was rendered
in the case of Berney and wife against G..
w. c. Lee and others. This was q suit to
obtain possession Of the Smiths Island es-
tate of the late G.. w. P. Gusts, which the
plaintiffs bought at direct tax sale during
the war, but OF which the defendants hold
possession. The Court held that the sale
made during the war was illegal, because
the authorized agent OF General r. Z. Lee,
who was the administrator of Mr.. Gusts,
had rendered the amount Of taxes and costs,
and they had been refused. 1t was accord
ingly ordered that the defendants retain
possession Of the premises, and that they
recover of the plaintiffs their costs eXpend.
ed. 1t should be stated that General R. E.
Lee got possession Of the premises as ad.
ministrator in 1868, and afterwards sold
them to General G. W. G. Lee, in accord
ance with the provisions OF Mr.. 'Custis's
will, in order to pay certain legacies therein
provided tor.-Alerandria Va.) Gazette.

Opening OF tho valley Railroad

a meeting Of the directors Of the Valley
Railroad Company was held yesterday OF II
NJ. at Camden station, in the room OF vice
President Kcyser. There were present p.
p, Pendleton, Esq, president of the road,
and Messrs. Decatur III. Miller, William
Keyser, Richard Norris, Jr., and William
Allan, directors. The object of the meeting
was to take action in reference to obtaining
proper terminal facilities at Harrisonburg.
1t will be remembered that at q meeting held
in Stanton on Saturday OF last week, at
which Judge II. w. Sheffey, counsel OF
the Valley road; p. p. Pendleton, presi-
dent, and William M. Mines, Jr., presi-
dent of the Shenandoah Valley road,
were present, Mr.. Mines objected to
taking possession OF the Valley road unless
a turn-tabIe and other Indispensable termi-
nal facilities were supplied at Harrisonburg,
and the contamination OF the lease was ac-
cordingly postponed until meeting OF The
Valley railroad directors could be held. AT
the meeting yesterday resolution was
adopted instructing the president to make
such arrangements with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad as may be necessary to allow
the Valley road the use Of the former roads
terminal facilities at Harrisonburg, and IN
the event OF u failure to make such arrange
menus salllu0IlIlIb MN w ploSe0o w ooAi'.
turn-tablc and make such other improve.
ments rs may be necessary for successful
working Of the Valley railroad.
| 1t is understood that the Baltimore ana
Ohio Company will agree to allow the Val
ley road the privilege they desire, and the
road will, it is expected, be opened next
week. Mr.. Boyce, vice-president OF the
Shenandoah Valley company, will be in this
city on Wednesday next for the purpose oil
making traffic contract with the Baltimore
and Ohio, and it is stated that no difficulty
will be experienced in coming to satisfac'
tory agreement. The difficulties that have
up to this time intcrfered to prevent the at
tempt OF the Valley company to put their
road in operation again seem at last to have
been removed, and it is believed that the
people OF the Valley will soon be enjoying
the convenicnces OF railroad travel between
Harrisonburg and Staunton, which has fol
so long been interrupted.
Mr.. p. p. Pendleton stated last evening
that the road would begin operations or
Monday next, which will be gratifying in
telligence for the people along the section il
traverses, who have for. the last severa
months been compelled to travel from Har
risonburs to Stanton by stage-coach.-

caused by the storm Of Tuesday night in
Iowa were not in the least exaggerated.
Besides the forty-two persons drowned OF
Rockdale, twenty-five persons were killed
in Warren county, while some reports place
the number at forty, and six or eight in
Madison county. Fully one hundred and
fifty houses have been destroyed, and a

REAI-EsTATE BROKERS CoMM1sSIoNS--DE-
cIs1oN IN NEW YORK CoURT.-[From the
York Times OF Tuesday. Judge Joseph
F. Daly, in the special term OF the Court OF
Common Pleas yesterday, in denying mo-
tiou for a new trial in the case OF Allen l..
Mordecai against William c. Wetmore and
others. takes occasion to define the duties
Of real-estate brokers under certain circum-
stances. He says, among other things /:
g Where a real-estate broker, employed by
seller and purchaser, does no more tlan
bring them together to make their own con-
tract. there seems to be good reasons for
holding that he may collect from each an
agreed commission, upon consumma-
ton OF a contract between them. In
such a case he has not assumed for the seller
the duty of getting good price, nor for the
purchaser the duty of getting the property
at an advantageous fgure-in fact, he is not
emploved nor trusted to make the best bar
gain for his principal, and owes him in that
respect no duty inconsistent with the taking
of pay from the other side. His duty IS
ended when he brings the parties together
to make their own trade, and his commission
is earned when they enter into valid con-
tract. Whenever the broker, however, con-
| cealing from each party to proposed sale
OF exchange OF properly Tic Hault VI Ghc
other, travels back and forth between them,
laboring with both, and ultimately arranging
price and terms, thus effecting sale for one
and purchase for the other in the course OF
an alleged employment by both to sell and
to buy, a different rule applies. II the
broker be employed to get price,
OF to make a purchase, his duty to
one party to the contract who en-
ploys him is wholly inconsistent with the
rendition Of service to the other, and the
policy OF the law forbids his claim for com
pensation against either if he have eXacted
an agreement from each for commission.
There are exceptions to this salutary rule,
but these exceptions are founded upon con-
siderations quite as just as the rule itself.
II in an exchange Of property between prin-
cipals each have notice that the broker is to
receive commission from the other, and,
with such notice, agree to give him COM
pensation, he may recover the agreed COM
mission from each.3 But the facts in such a
case must be clearly proved, since, in the
nature of things, his duty to each of his
principals conflicts, and each principal must
be shown to have such notice and be so sit
uated that he reposes no trust in the brokers'
acting for his sole benefit, and in the whole
transaction assumes to protect his own in
terests in the price and terms d exchange
or sale3 ,.., r....s....... -, ..- ...r.l.s.-
