very fond Of riding horseback.
The Doctor was man OF strong conylc-

eccentric. But those who knew INN Dest

CIRCUIT COURT MATTERS.
Trouble Ahead of Coupon-Tenderers-T
Old CannI-Charter Granted.


In the Circuit Court of the city .yester-
dav suit was instituted by the heirs at
law of John II. Gresham by Pollard
sands. their attorneys. to recover $1,000
damages for an alleged violation OF the
covenants of o deed made to John III.
Gresham by John S. Dodson's exeeutrlx.
II seems that Mr.. Gresham bought thirty
eight acres of land lying in the county OF
Henrico near the city, and took deed
with the the usual covenants, among
Others that the land was free from e1clin'-
brdnces. But it turns out that there were
two judgment liens on the property In
| favor of the Commonwealth under the
coupon-crusher act, amounting. TO about
5000. The Gresham heirs recently sold the
nroperty to Messrs. Rutherford Rose,
who. on account of these liens, withheld
$3.50 of tho purchase-money. Hence TINS
suit. II is believed that many such suits
will grow out of q similar condition OF
much real estate in and near the city,
where the owners rendered coupons in pay
ment Of taxes.
THE OLD CANAL WILL NOT DOWN.
The suit of Ann S. Rutherford against
Decatur Axtell receiver of the Richmond
and Allegheny railroad was called yester-
day before Judge William 5. Barton, VINO
was holding a special term for Judge Well
ford, who is so situated as MOTTO be able 10
sit in the case.
A demurrer was entered TO the declara-
ton and special pleas filed and the case
continued until Monday, when the law
will be argued.
This is one of q number of cases brought
TO test the liability of the railroad COM
pany to the landowners for, damages
claimed to have accrued from the change
of the canal into railroad. This being
10
has been tried will be looked to with much
interest.
The counsel for the plaintiffs are John
Rutherford and Roosevelt Page, Esqs., with
whom are associated Staples d Muntord
and Willis b. Smith, representing cases OF
similar claims, and the defendants are rep
resented by Colonel w. W. Gordon,
Thomas S. Martin, ESQ.,, and Henry lay
lor Esq.
Among the specific claims of damages
alleged by the plaintiff is the additional
cost of fencing made necessary by the con-
version of the canal into railroad, danger
from fires, &c.
The defendant pleaded as special pleas
the statute of limitation and that the re-
ceiver was now discharged.

last meeting appointed special committee
TO bring in a plan for the relief Of fremen
who may become disabled and for the re-
lief of their families should they get killed;
While the board has long contemplated
such a step. yet they have never been fully
aroused until now, there having been hye
GOOD and worthy men injured since Janu-

TO CONTINUE SOLICITING

The committee above named were re-
ouested to take in hand the management
of the soliciting of subscriptions TO ac-
complish the work provided for in the
charter.
The sum that will be Immediately needed
is 800. 900, and of this $4,000 will be spent
for lot, $4,000 for erecting a suitable
building with lecture-rooms, public hall,
&C., and $15, O00In equipment. Ii is hoped
that sixty thousand dollars will be secured
through the liberality of the citizens of
Richmond, and the committee think that
they already have $4,000 of the amount IN
sight. The remaining $50, 900, it is expected,
will be appropriated by the City Council.
1t will be recalled that some time ago that
body agreed TO appropriate the sum named
to the Institute, upon the condition that
the State would appropriate for the same
purpose 100000. This the State failed to
do, but the committee trusts that if $780,
900 is raised from any other source the
Council will consider that the spirit OF the
condition of their appropriation has been
complied with and give the money.
The right men have taken hold OF this
matter. and the Virginia Mechanics lnsti-
tute will soon have permanent home Of
its own that will be credit to the city and
a monument to the generosity of those
through whose interest and assistance 1t IS
secured. Then the Institute can more sue
cessfully accomplish the great work that
lies before it and broaden its great field Of
usefulness
