INDICTING PREACHERS, &c.-The
record before the Fulton grand jury re-
vealed the fact that a very large list of
marriage licenses have never been return
ed by the clergymen solemnizinq the
marriages. The penalty against preach
ers for this neglect is a $50 fine liz each
case, and our information is that unite a
number of cases exist against some Of our
oldest and most worthy preachers. These
ministers, and magistrates, owe it to
themselves, and to the parties for whom
they have solemnized this sacr ed rite. to
examine the record and make the proner
returns. In some contingencies the le
gitimacy of marriage, and the legitimacy
Of children, might depend upon il.

the death OF yer own Twin uncle, Ned
Fitzpatrick, who died very suddenly a
few days ago afther a lingerin Illness of
six weeks. The poor feilow was in vio-

his death was occasioned by, but fear IT
was by his last sickness for he was niver
well ten days t0gither durin' the whole

death was brought about by his attn too
much of rabbit stuffed with pals and
gravy stuffed with rabbit; but be that as
it may, when he brathed his last, the
docther gave up all hope of his recovery.
| needn tell We anything about his age,
for ye well know that in June next he
would have been just seventy-fve years
old lackin ten months, ana, had he lived
till that time, would have been just six
months dead. His property now devolves
TO his next of kin, which all died some
time ago, so that 1 expect it will be divid-
ed between as and ye know his property,
which was very large, was sold to pay his
debts, and the remainder he lost at

body at The time That he would have won
the race if the haste nc run against hadn
been too fast for him.

CRY OF HICKMAN AND RAILROAD
ESJoINED.-There was breeze of excite
ment in Hickman business and railroad
circles, Wednesday, caused by proceedings
before County Judge Bailey, to prevent
the laying of the railroad track along
Water street in froht of Bondurant 4
Drewry's commission house. The appli-
cation for injunction was made by Bon
durant s. Drewry against the city of Hiok
man and Railroad company, setting forth
in their petition that the laying Of said
track would be injurious to the plaintiffs,
and in violation of their rights, Sc, and
praying relief, sc. Judge Bailey grant
ed the order of injunction, and the de.
PENDANTS Immediately desisted from lay
ing said track. The order created con-
siderable interest and was much comment
ed upon on the street. The railroad com
pany needs and wants more crack room
to accommodate an expected large increase
of business at this point, and the City
Council gran ted the railroad the privilege
to run track down Water street. Upon
this grant of the right of way, the Rail-
road company proceeded to lay the track.
The motion to dissolve the injunction
comes up before the Judge of the Circuit
Court, aud it SO happens that that Office is
vacant just now, aud a hearingrmust be
delayed. 1t is possible the Governor may
appoint special judge to held a sp ecial
term of the Fulton Circuit Court, and if
so the motion to dissolve will be decided
in few weeks. Be this rs it may, our
Information is, that tn railroad company
backed by the City authorities and some
IF our largest Hickman shippers, win use
very exertion TO dissolve the iuioue,ion,
and let the traek-laying go on; and as o
hat the plaintiffs are determined to test
the full measure OF the law.
