Bevies OF them met you on every street

DopOt 8uO OOmmiSSlOu IS8Ckcts
To say thst there has been considers~
bic excitement among shippers in this
place during the past week over the De.
pot and other matters at this end Of the
B. 4 S. w.. and the charging Of com.
mission on freight bills, 10 to state the
case very mildly - = d - q ; q
When the location of the line was un-
der consideration, there was q prospect.
at one time, that 1t would be brought up
Davenport's run. And 1t was. distinct.
ly understood then, thatif the road was
located where it is now, the owners of
the farm at the end cf the line, s. L.
MooEEr and W. T. MoxRrs, would give
the rieht-of.wsy for the track. and
ground sufficient to erect buildings up.
on 1t is now alleged that twenty five
feet right of way, for the track was Civ
co, but that no ground for Depot, En-.
gine. House and other buildings was
given.
l, II is further alleged that the Director.
at . regular meeting, BY q unanimous
vote authorized the necessary buildings
erected ct this end Of the line. Ot
course they thought that the neces-
sary ground had been donated, else they
would have taken some action to pro-
cure q "a
It is further alleged, that not one foot
OF ground has been given by the owners
of the farm, Messrs. Morris and Moon
EY, upon which to erect buildings, and
that those erected are the property Of
private parties. M issssg az
j And what strengthens the belief that
it is the property or privste parties is
the fact, that q heavy Commission has
been charged on freight hills presented
to business men In this lace. so+z
sKErrERER 4 HosFFLER and SMITH 4
WADDELL, 10, whom bills, with Commits
sion added, were presented refused to
pay them. They expressed themselves
as being perfectly willing 70 pay
freight rates. but we're decidedly em-
phatic in their declarations, not to pay
Commissions, and the almost unanimous
opinion of the stockholders here ap.
proys The drm stand they hsve taken.
This road wee mainly built by men
who subscribed freely OF their means,
and their desire and expectation Was
that IL twouId prove agblessing,s not .

conception Of the enterprise, neither is

A.:11n Work il tie Garden.

Some people get tired of the garden
late in the summer, and let The beds and
walks grow up to weeds, others only
become a little neglected. The better
way is TO keep everything a. neat a.
possible, even 10 the last. At no time
is the garden more enjoyable than in the
beautiful Autumn weather. Early Au-
tumn is the best possible time for rear
ranging beds OF herbaceous plants. such
as Hollyhocks, Delghiniums, P;eonies.
dc. Roots can be divided without in.
jury, and generally with great benefit to
the health of the plants, Lilies, and
all Hardy Bulbs, can also. be removed
and replanted as soon as the l.aye. be-
gin TO ripen. Thi, can be done in Sep
TENDER.
Plants that are somewhat tender in
the North, such a. Tritonas, Panpas
Grass, &c, and any other tender plants
that it would be desirable 10 save over
the winter, may be securedin pits or
cool cellars. A simple pit is made by
removing the earth for say two feet.
over which is placed a hot-bed frame
and sash. Even boards OF mats will
answer for towering. Give air during
fine weather.
There Is no season so favorable As
Autumn for making general improve
ments in the garden. The American Au-
tumn weather is superb. Our Springs
are short and unpleasant. All impor-
tant changes in the garden should there
fore be made in the pleasant, drv wealth.
er OF Fall. Dig up and put in order
every vacant bed, as it will not only
facilitate Spring work, but do the soil
good and have neaier appearance shan
if left rough and weedy
All bulbs and plants that die down to
the ground in Autumn may be protected
by covering the surface of the earth
with leaves or manure or straw, but
plants that retain their leaves during
winter will not bear this kind of nro,
lection. A few evergreen bouphs
thrown over the bed little straw be.
tween the plants, or some light omen
covering of this kind, is all they will
bear without injury. We have seen
more plants smothered and rotred by
heavy covering than saved. From
