Y"e conclude our report of the business done in our Court of Common Pleas last week : Christy vs. Christy action of debt. Ju ry find no cause of action. S terra vs. Pennsylvania Bailroad Co. action in the case for damages. This action was based on injuries alleged to have been received by the plaintiff, Mr. Francis A. Storm, of Alleghany township, by the running off the track of the Emi grant train west on the Penna. Bailroad, near Lily Is station, in February, 1SG7. The injuries established by plaintiff con sisted of some hurt done to the vertebras Of hi; s neck, whereby the neck was stiffen- ed, and a general prostration of his whole svstem all claimed to have been caused immediately by the accident." The testi mony introduced by the defendant was to the purpose of showing that the accident was so slight that it could not . possibly have produced plaintiff's injuries, but that they must have been the result of some other and a totally different mishap. The case was tried in March last, when the jurj failed to agree. In this instance, af- tr a trial occupying a day and a half, the jury found for plaintiff in the sum cf 2,000. Motion on part of defendant for a new trial pending. In the case cf Snydcrs vs. Byrnes and Piatt, the plaintiffs took a nonsuit. Before adjourning, on Saturday, the Court passed the following sentences : John Earner, who plead guilty of lar ceny, two years aud nine months impris onment in the Western Penitentiary. John Lunny, who plead guilty of lar ceny, two years and three months impris onment in the Western Penitentiary. Andrew Slick, who plead guilty cf larceny, three years and nine months ia the Western Penitentiary. Beteaeed.

Something About our. Mail Ser vice. A: queer conflict of authority "oc curred in connection with the carrying of our mails recently. The snow-storm of the 7th and 8th inst. completely, blocka ded the branch railroad, and the transit cf the mails by that route was - therefore stopped. But our worthy P. M., deter mined that our citizens should not be cut off from communication with the rest of the world, engaged a man to carry the mails to Cresson and return, for which service he was to be paid at the rate of $2 a day. This contract lasted a couple of days, and was satisfactory to all con cerned J but at the end cf that period, the railroad airent at Crcsson dismissed our" P. Ms carrier and substituted one of his own choosing in his place, at the cost of 85 a day. The result of this conflict was that neither of the high contracting pow ers would recognize the other's carrier, and so lonz as the branch railroad remain ed closed the mails hence to Cresson were V carried by one party, and from Crcsson here by another. Of course we know nothing about the merits of the controver sy, but we rejoice to see this laudable am bition, particularly at the "other end of the line," to serve Ebensburg and her in terests, c . Bailroad Matters. Our Cresson correspondent sends us the following items : On Sunday week, a drovers' car attached to the rear end of a stock train was detached from the train at Gallitzin, for the purpose of shifting the cars ; but the brakes being out of order, they would not hold, and it ran backward down the steep grade west. It passed Crcsson at a fearful rate of speed, and was not checked till it had run as far as Portage, where it ran into a locomotive, smashing both itself and the locomotive to atoms. Several drovers were on the car when it started, but they made their escape by jumping. On Tuesday following, an engine jumped the track at Cresson and was completely demolished. The same afternoon, a pas senger train jumped the track, but fortu nately no one was hurt. The B. B. Co. are busiiv enlaced cradimr the siding for the new warehouse at Cresson. The M. B. B. Concert. The time for holding the 3Icuntaineer base ball con cert has been changed from Tuesday even ing, 29th instant, to Tuesday evening, January 12th, next. Good vocal music will be rendered by the choir,, and though the far-famed '"Crystal Band" is no more, there will yet be enough instrumental, mu sic to lend the charm of variety to the entertainment. A rare musical treat is in store for the public, and no doubt the Court House will be packed to its utmost capacity cn theappoinied evening. " CimiSTilAS. "Christmas comes but once a year," and R. R.
