They Can Lay Their tracks.

The court in general term yesterday
morning decided the case of the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad company vs..
Edmonds ct al, commissioners OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, which came up on the
appeal of the railroad company from the
decree Of the equity court dismissing the
bill. The controversy arose from the
effort of tho company to lay side tracks
across Fourteenth street, in order to con-
meet square 267 with square 233, which
latter square has been recently purchased
by the company for freight yard and
warehouse. Tho commissioners resisted
the company, and threatened to use the
police force to prevent it should the COM
pany undertake to lay tracks across Four
teenth street. The commissioners had
kept force of police officers stationed at
the point where the tracks wero to be put
down for several weeks. The court, after
reviewing the statutes bearing upon the
subject, decided that the railroad COM
pany possessed the right and authority by
it claimed. and directed that an injunc-
tion issue according to the prayer of the
complainants' bill. This decision settles
| the right of the railroad company to cross
Fourteenth street with tracks in order to
reach and occupy its property. Mr.. Enoch
Totten appeared for the railroad company,
and Messsrs. Riddle aud Miller for tho
commissioners.

GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

We are growing Old together,
Spring and summertime have fed,
Fled with bud and bloom forever,
And the autumn tints are shed.
We have wreethd the May-day blossoms;
We have plucked the flowers Of June:
We have seen the last sheaves gathered,
Underneath the hRrvestnoon.
We are growing Old together;
We are fading side by side;
There are seams we can not cover,
There are scars we can not hide;
And they bear the silent record
OF many a care and loss,
OF many toilsome days march.
And many q weighty cross.
We are growing old together;
We have counted manv a mile;
We have cheered and helped each other
Over many broken stile,
And when griefs CULVER ng arrow
In our stricken hearts sank deep,
We have stified each our sorrow,
That the other might not weep.
We are growing old together.
As we journey down the hills.
Soon our feet must near the river
With the waters deep and chill,
Where the phantom ship" will anchor
To embark her spirit freight;
And one of US will sail with her,
And the other have to wait.
