Counsel for plaintiff
New ORLEANS, April II, 1876.


Of tho city of New Orleans
have the honor to ask your atten-
ton to the fact that the Injunction is
sued in the case OF RoudaneZ VS.. the
Mayor ct ais. has been dissolved, on
motion OF this company, and the suit
dismissed
The mandamus OF the company vs..
the Mayor and Administrators has been
refused, but only on the ground that it
does not yet appear that the officers OF
the city have declined to submit the
railroad tax question to q popular vote,
and without prejudice to the right to
apply again for it if it be necessary.
have now the honor to request that the
subject may be taken up and acted
upon at the meeting tomorrow, and
that the election may be held at the
earliest possible day.
Among the many reasons for prompt
action, i may mention first, that the
price Of railroad materials has lately be-
gan to advance, and second, that if tho
tax be voted, this company will at once
be ready to afford employment to at
least 500 men in this city who are now
in need of work.
Very respectfully. your obedient SER
want, f. B. WHEELocK,

A young man of this village, after erdur- ing the tOrments of the toothache for a few days and seeing no immediate prospect of relief, betook himself in company with a friend to the dentist at Amenia and desired him to administer laughing gas and extract the obstreperous tooth. The dentist con- piled with the order, and in few minutes the troublesome grinder was dislodged i; when our young friend returned to con- sciousness he raised himself up and turning to his companion, coolly questioned him thus: I say, did it hurt it you much D..
 MT. AlonZo Bates has been admitted into the firm of E. B. Reed & Go. as a partner, and hereafter the name of the firm will be Reed, Bates & Go. We congratulate our young friend on his deserved promotion and wish him every success. MT. l.. Van Alstyne and Mr. John c. Terrett have ex- changed houses and lands. Those wild horses of MT. Loucks have been under the charge of a professional horse trainer for a couple of weeks. and are now perfectly manageable either in the harness or under the saddle. .....The old hotel, which was re- gently purchased by it's former owner, MT. Perry Loucks. has been thoroughly over hauled inside and put into first'class condi ton. MT. Loucks knows how to keep 6 public house, and have no doubt that the hotel under his management will soon at- tain it's former popularity. y......Mr. w. H.

Lord, hearing the noise, struck the light, the sight of which put new life into the crazed man, who, freed himself from the dogs grip, dashed for the house, and with madman's strength burst in the door. He there encountered, with uplifted axe, MT. Lord, who supposing his house was to be robbed, had prepared for the worst. The crazy man fell on his knees and besought MT. Lord not to strike him, and then ran to a chamber where MT. Lords little son was sleeping, and jumped naked and bleeding as he was, into the bed. He was got cut at once and taken home by several neighbors, and sent to an insane asylum the next day.

 MR. SUB. EDIToR.-Who would venture to write line for THE NEWS after reading the dolorous production headed Editorial Difficulties ? 1st-Not to write anything that could be construed to show any pref erence, etc. 2nd-Not to step on the toes, etc. In violation of your negative duties, two floating ideas are asking of this pen an inscription. The first is highly approba- tory opinion of the common schools of this town, as called into exerclse last week at the examinations of the same. But if one wishes details of grounds of preference they may be referred to our own paper of the present week. Not to step on the toes.' Second, fgment of thought. Who could walk this Main street, casting glance westward and eastward, and not give ex- pression to the pain of witnessing the archi- tectural offence now in progress there ? When the town hall was completed one could stand on any corner and enjoy the sense of freedom which ample surroundings always impart. The fine Berkshire house, with its attractive lawn, yielded pleasure to the age in it's externals, as well as ideas of easy comfort within. But now that towering wooden structure has destroyed the sense of fitness of things, and that es- sential element in good taste, and so gazing thereon from any point of the compass we lament blight. c.

Town Mutual Fire Insurance.

MR EDITOR: Mutual insurance consists in any number of persons uniting, guaran- teeing and insutingto each other whatever each individual's loss may. be, according to the amount insured, and for 8 given space
 of time. The parties insured become mem bers of accompany during the life of their respective policies but the profits, after deducting the losses annually, go into gen. eral fund and is usually invested at interest.
 This fund, in most of the older mutual fire insurance companies whose risks are ID the country towns, has become large in conse- quence of the few fires which occur in all such localities. The question is therefore suggested whether it would not be to the interest of each country town at least in the state to form itself into mutual fire insu- rance company, under proper legislative eiactments. constituting perhaps the select men, town clerk and treasurer board of fire insurance to all buildings applied for, or such as they might deem proper, against all damage by fire in behalf of the town i; and pay the premiums, after deducting losses, into the town treasury annually, to be applied toward the expenses of the town and there are probably towns in this state where the amount SO paid in would be equivalent to the expenses of the same, rendering the levying of taxes unne- cessary. The infrequency of fires in all country towns renders the risks and liabili- ties so slight, and the advantages SO great, that the matter is well worthy of the con sideration of all tax payers in such towns. To ascertain the probable risk of town, say for the next five years, we may count up the damage by fire which has occurred to insured property in the town for the last five years, and it will be found in most cases that a small sum comparatively, would suffice for such losses; and the fact that every mans tax would become SO much re l duced, would tend to induce persons who are now insured Tn other companies to change to the Town Mutual compeny; and others who are not insured would probably avail themselves of this method.

 Our early songsters-the little blue birds have come agaIn, this time the 18th inst, and just twenty-four days earlier than those of last year-thrics welcome beautiful .har- bingers of spring. My diary says that on the mornings of March 22nd and 23rd, 1875. the mercury went down to Ave de- grees below zero, and on the .29th of the same month blue birds made their appear ance, and robins and black birds came the next day. is not this a good sign that an early spring may be anticipated. No rob- ins or other migratory birds have been seen yet. The potato bug and grasshopper will be reported Tn their season....Mr. Charles Caul, Jr., was terribly bitten on his hand by one of his dogs last Sunday. He was trying to separate his deg from Almon Thorpe's dog, while they were fighting. We sincerely hope MT. Caul will get along without much trouble; but the future can only tell, and the thought of hydrophobia always strikes terror 10 the stoutest heart... Mrs. Milo Barnum lies very sick and is failing very fast. Her recovery is hardly possible, for she has seen more than three score years and ten, and has been an inva- lid more or less ever since my boyhood days. An engine was sent to Bridgeport Sunday for Mir. Barnum's family, who are spending the winter in Washington, D. C..
 LATER. = The robins greeted us with their sweet and plaintive sono~ early this (Tuesday) bright and lovely morning, and the twitter of the blue birds is heard on every side. Surely spring has come, in Lime Rock at least. OBsERvR1,
