FAEMoNT, January 27.-The much talked
OF and misrepresented injunction suit be-
tween the CASTOR Gas Goa
Company and the New England
Fairmont and Western Gas Coal Com
Pany was disposed of in the United States
District Court last week by Judge Bond.
The New England company under cover OF
darkness, had attempted to grade road
bed parable! TO and considerably lower than
the CASTOR road. Judge A. B. Fleming is,
sued an injunction enioining this
company from prosecuting the work
to the injury Of the Castor company.s road
and the case was removed to the L. S. DIS.
trict Court. The interests Of the CASTOR
company were looked after by Hon. James
Morrow Jr., and Michael Bannan, Esq, of
Baltimore, represented the New England,
fairmont and Western. The court decided
that the injunction should be dissolved un-
der the following conditions: The New
England road, in building, must not inter
tere with or injure the slopes, embank-
ments or rOad-bed of the CASTOR
ROAD and must furnish an indemitying bond
in the sum of twelve thousand dollars to
secure the CASTOR Gas Coal Company in
case of any injury resulting to its property
from the building OF the New England road
This bond is to be approved by the Clerk of
the Circuit Court, Of this county, and the
Castor company RECEIVERS its costs. Mr..
James Watson Pesident of the latter COM
pany, is much pleased with the verdict as it
WAS all that he ever claimed for his corpora
ton and the eminent local counsel Of the
A. r., F. and W. processes to be salts
fed with the result. The courts decision
was unquestionably Just and proper and
will doubtless prove agreeable TO all per
sons except such as are wOfully ignorant
OF the facts in the ease, or too preiudiccd
to appreciate any ruling of law that does
not exactly suit the!r incIinations.
The Normal schools.
Our people are watching, with Jealous
eye the action Of the legislature in regard
to the normal schools They believe IN
economy and are now bringing the
normal schools to the front as
economical institutions. Last year these
schools graduated about sixty pupils at
cost to the State Of eight thousand dollars,
and the total enrolment OF the school was
nearly seven husdred.
The University last year turned cut four
-raluates three of WHOM are residents Of
this State, and only one of whom is a
teacher. The Normal graduates are all
teachers and have proven of inCStimable
benefit in the mental and material advance.
ment Of the State Comparisons are odiOus,
but this one, at least, is tair.
We trust our lawmakers Will not, in fit
of illadyiSed par>jmoRy, fail TO give our
Normal Schools the liberal appropriations
they 50 richly merit. We should like to see
these schools pui on firm footing, so that
there would be No uncertainty about sala
RES and back pay. 1t is standing dis
Grace 10 our Young commonwealth that
these Institutions. so emiuently satisfactory
n heir results aud now recognized rs per
mauCat institutions are still paired in their
usefulness By inferior and unequal support
given them as compared to our Othe.
and less useful institutions. Progress
should be the Wa chwurd now and the new
Legislature could hot make for itsel.in any
other way swrh certificate Of character as

and excellent Normal schools An appro
priation should bc made sufficiently large
TO paw all back pay due teachers The
teachers did their work faithfully and the
State has no righ. to dis7wn its contract
1t should honestly meet these obligations
