Judge Clemenston has rendered his
decision in the case of the town
of jamestown Us. the e. b. & n.
r. r. Co. The town sued to compel
the railroad to restore the old wagon
road leading north from east Dubuque,
and which was condemned as part of
the railroads right of way. The Judge
finds that the vacation of the road was
illegal and that the railroad is bound
to replace it by one equally good, but
that they are not compelled to replace
il until the town of Dunleith opens up

boundary, and which has for some time
been unused.

VOLTS comet is one of the list of comets
of very short period, its period being
somewhat less than seven years, the
time of the last perihelion passage
being about the first of October, 1884.
The time of the present perihelion pass
age will be on the 9Th of September.
VOLTS comet is one of those comets
which never approaches very near to
the sun, and is always outside of the
orbit of Mars, even when nearest. Its
present distance from the sun is in round
numbers about 147,0O0,00O miles, and
from the earth about 104, 100000 miles.
Any one having access to telescopes will
have no trouble whatever in identifying
the comet on the two nights of its near
approach to the Pleiades The Pleades
now crosses the meridian between $50
and in the morning, so that by mid
night they are well situated for obser-
vations.
