A LONG LITIGATION ENDED, Syracuse, N, Y., June 17. —Judg Wallace of the United States district court who has had under considera tion for some time the case of the Canada_Southern railroad company vs. the International bridge compuny, rendered his decision to-day. The gation was for the purpose of de ciding the rate of compensation to be paid by the plaintiff for the useof the bridge of the defendant.

The Talk of the Town. of The DALY B woxt, Neb., June 16 ¥ Many years ago when the chiof oc cupants of Nebraska were cayotes, prairie d In dians, it was necessary to protect the extremity of civilized settlement from extermination by these Indians. When bad blood stood in the eye of the restless Pawnee, Gen. John C. Fremont was sent out with a small de- tachment of U. 8. forces tc guard the unprotected sottlement. He took position upon a bluff on the south bank of the Platte river, opposite the present beautiful eity bearing his name, Fromont settlement is among the catliest made in the territory, but its wossibilitios as a real city date only rom the entrance of the Co& P railway, in 1800, For yoars it was the only town west of the Missouri river having the advantage of two lines of railways. A line of road from Lincoln to Fremont is on the boards for this fall, and the people of Fremont would most heartily o e it, though there is no disposition to proffer aid to_indefinite companies for the construction of ronds. Fremont has now a population of 3,500 people, and is a very beautiful little city. The streets are wide, clean lined with shade. The site is flat of high bottom land, with se slope enough to drain ina_ wet time. Artificial drainage and water works are needed improvements. Fremont has 120 men in mercantile business, and five firms do a creditable wholesale trade. May Brothers are erccting a brick on their old corner. C. tensen has completed his new store building and now occuples it. Z. Shedd occupies nearly a whole block with Ins inmense establishment. The Occidental hotel, by Burgess is a three-story brick, 300x175. one of the finest hotels in the state and the traveling men’s resort. H.

P. & . elevator.; The unjustly light assessment of railroad property is very keenly ap- preciated by the leading business men of Fremont.

The farmer’s cow that is held for sale at $20, is not assessed at §2, but at about $16. The merchant’s property in assessed at corresponding figures.
