L. Clerk, L. C. Winters, F. H. Griggs, and others, for malicious prosecution, loying damages at £100,008, is entirely untrue. No such suit has been commonced. 'The supposition is that the despatch was sent in_an attempt to give the railrond company etability and character, there- ‘by enabling them to collect subsidies.

Afr. Denton's ‘horses were- caught- by o passing _train and one killod, another hurt, and the driver somewhat bruised. The jury rendered s _verdict of §135 -| and costs. This snit derives importance from the fact that there are other cases somewhat -| similar, and thus for the injuries scoms to be disposed to hold rail-roads to an accountsbility for such accidents. Sr. Lours, Nov. 23.—Some_apprehension hay- | ing been felt: that the building of tho tunnel, which is now in_progress of construction from | tho bridge to tlio probable sito of tho Grand .
