 Recent decisions by the Supreme Court of Errors have been received by'Arthur D. Os- borne, Esq. clerk of the court, and are as follows:
 In the case of Elisha Hart vs. Jay E. Rus sell. No error; reasons by Judge Granger. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover his fees as deputy sheriff. The case was tried before George H.

Court of Common P1eas-Judge Studley.
 In this court yesterday decision was ren- dered in the case of Lendroth vs. Wandra for the defendant to recover $61.71 and costs It WAS an action to recover for grocery bill. The defendant claimed set-off on the ground that he had paid more money than had been credited to him and the court so found.
 In the case of Scott vs. Forbes judgment was rendered for the defendant to recover his costs. This was an action to recover on promissory note, the defendant pleading the ''baby" act. The defendant had agreed to pay the note in milk, and it is claimed on the part of plaintiff that on the day that de fendant came of age, he had made delivery of milk; thus waiving all right to plead mi. nority at the time the note was made. The defendant claimed that he delivered no milh on the day he became q years old. Court adjourned until Tuesday next at 1C a. m., when the case of Keefe vs. McDonald will be tried. It is 8 suit growing out ot matters connected with Keefe E O'Brien'i grocery business.

E The wnfstlIng to Cease-Crue1 and
 Naughty Engineers.
 The Railroad Commissioners met at New London yesterday and had hearing in re- gard to a petition de locomotive whistles, asking that locomotive whistling in speci- fled part of New London should no longer be allowed number of prominent New Lon don men were present, also President Wat rous of the Consolidated road, Superinten- dent Stevenson of the Shore Line, President Colt of the New London Northern road, and Corporation Counsel Brandegee. MT. Bran degee made thrilling speech, graphically portraying the miseries dwellers in the vicin- ity of the Shore Line experienced from the prolonged shrieks of passing locomotives. After train once got into the city all the buildings were so many sounding boards to add to the touch of pandemonium the wh1s- tier created. Then there were fendish en- gineers, engineers who took, it seemed, an almost savage delight in extracting as much bedlam or Hades as possible out of their whistle, and each engineer seemed to give a peculiar twist or shriek to the whistle of his particular engine, and some whistled | in novel way to notify friends of thelr ar rival. A single toot or ringing the bell was all that public safety required.
 ! President Watrous replied, expressing de- sire for no more than was necessary to pro- tect the public and stating his views, and the commissioners decided that s'the sounding of | whistles could be dispensed with without danger to the public, as stated in the petition presented by the corporation counsel, and | they directed the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company to emit the sounding of the locomotive whistles upon | the Shore Line division of their road, be- | tween the cut next west of Pequot avenue ln the city of New London and depot of said company in said city, at the foot of State street except that for outgoing trains g single short blast, not exceeding one second shall be sounded before starting and by in coming trains a blast not exceeding two sec onds shall be sounded on emerging from the cut; and that the switch call of the switch engine shall be three short blasts not exceed ing one second each; and require that tht engine bell be rung in lieu of all other whist | limo

Picturesque Rail Fences.

The old fashioned rail fences are

esque, for they often form the protec.
ting framework Of a hedgerow unex-

wild grape-vines, sumac, ana black
berry, and elder bushes are its most
common constituents, several of them
unrivsled in autumnal foliage. To
him who will reap, all seasons yield
harvest, and all localities. What bet
ter ground for the botanist than a
road side ditch bounded by rail
fence? There, through all the sum
mer days, loitsr travellers that are
neither biped nor quadrupid, though
we suspect that they have shrewdly
made use OF both feet and wings Else,
how came they-these herbs and
weeds from over seas? Here, too,
grow buttercups, the chi!drens gold;
ferns. perhaps and meadow daisies
and many shy Indian beauty. Year
by year more join the rout, coming
from woodland and far pastures to
brighten the dusty wayside. From
midsummer on their numbers increase
as though to make the most Of the
weather.
Stately files Of golden-rod stand,
rank upon rank, along the fences over
the pastures is spread the Tyrlan mag
nlfence of iron weed the delicate blue
of vervian; and white and purple as

chipmunks haunts these tapgles, and
many rare and delicate plants find

Cutting Through Vegetation
ON the Nile.

ON inc Nile.
have made inquiries, and find
that Baker cut through some eighty
miles Of the "sudd or vegetable bar
rier; the other day my steamer found
this quite closed up. y A
curious little cabbage.like aquatic
plant comes floating down, having a
little root ready to attach itself to any
thing; he meets friend and they 60
together, and soon join roots, and so on.
When they get to lake the current
is less strong, and SO, no longer con-
strained to move on, they 60 off to the
sides; others do the same, idle and lott
ering, like everything up here. After
a time, winds drive a whole feet Of
them against the narrow outlet Of the
lake and stop it up. Then no more pas
senger plants can pass through the out
let, while plenty come in at the upper
end of the lake; these eventually fill
up all the passage which may have
been made. Surprising cut through
the vegetation, may have it closed
any day by wind blowing foe Of
these weeds from one side Of the lake
to the other; so that the only way
would be to clear out the lake of veg
citation altogether, or to anchor the
banks Of "sudd" so as to prevent the
winds blowing them together. Below
Gondokoro the stream spreads out into
lakes; on the edge Of these lakes an
aquatic plant, with roots extending
FIVE feet into the water, hourishes. The
natives burn the top parts when dry;
the ashes form mold, and fresh grasses
grow, till it becomes like terra tirma.
The Nile rises and floats out them ass
es; they come down to curve and
there stop. More Of these islands float
down, and at last the river is blocked
Though under them the water flows
no communication can take place, for
they bridge the river for several miles.
Last year the Governor went up, with
three companies and two steamers he
cut large blocks of the vegetation a
way. At last, one night the water
burst the remaining part, and sweep.
ing down on the vessels. dragged the
steamers down some four miles, and
cleared the passage. The Governor says
the scene was terrible. The hipropota-
mi were carried down screaming and
snorting; crocodiles we're whirled
round and round, and the river was
covered with dead and dying hippo.
potami, crocodiles and fish who had
been crushed by the mass. One hippo
potamus was carried against the bows
of the steamer and killed; one crocodile,
thirty FIVE feet long, was also killed.
The Governor, who was in the marsh,
had to 90 FIVE miles on raft to get to
his steamer.--Col Gordon IN Centred

fire TO have originated next to the south
boiler, in the partition between the boiler
house and main building Just how it
caught is unknown, but only candles were
used in the mems changing-room, hence no
explosion could have occurred there. The
shaft is not in the lie Gst injured. Both hoist

be repaired, and only the connections are
destroyed. The whole damage will fall below
