An Interesting Decision. ?A law caso arising from tho burning of a build? ing in MaBFKobusetts has just been de? cided by the Supremo Court. The case is this: Tbe building of a company was ou fire, and tbe engines were playing upou it, having their hose stretched across a railway track, which a freight train "passing run over and cut in part, and the burning building und contents were cousumed. Tho owners sued the railroad company to recover for tbe loss. Tho questions involved in the case were, whether tho hose was rightfully put aoross the truck, and whether tbe loss by the fire v/as not so remotely oonneoted with the negligent aot of (he company as to preclude a recovery. The Supremo Court decided that the firemen hud a right to lay thoir hose across the track, aud tbat tho negligent aot of the rail? road company was a direct und efficient cause of the loss.

Fatal Street Fioht in Florida ?At Wellborn, oi the 5th inst., a street fight took place between two young men, who used double barreled guns ami pistols. Thirteen shots were fired, and three pis? tol caps'failed to explode. A Mr. Wm. Stansel was mortally wounded, and his father, who was clos3 by him, was killed instuutly. A young mau, fifty yards off, got a buck shot through tho calf of his leg; another in a Btoru-houso close by hud an armed grazed. They attempted to kill a book agent at Omaha last week. Ho was robbed, thrown into tho river, knocked off tho oars, pitched from a high bridge into tho river again; but two hours ufterwurdu came around with a new illustrated edition of the Bible, nud tried to get the subscription of tbe leader of the attack? ing party. A Patoam County farmer was fooling round a patent threshing maobiue a day or two ago, wheu the pesky thing "bust up," and a piece of it striking him on thu head, completely carried away his man? sard roof. Coming upou tho very heels of tbe Boston fire, it does seem as if this style of architecture were fated.

John Alexander, Mayor of the city of Columbia. Sza: .On the 11th day of November, instant, I gave' notice through yoo to the City Council, that on the 21st No? vember, instant, "The Columbia Water Power Company" would commence to supply the city with water, under the contracts .between the city and the un? dersigned. I now respeotfuliy inform yon, that on the 21st November, instant, "The Co? lumbia Water Power Company" com? menced to supply water to the city, pur? suant to said ooutraot. I am now in? formed by your Superintendent of the Water Works, that be is directed by your Committeo on Water Works to con? tinue to operate the old Wuter Works, aud in obedience to these instructions, be is proceediug to do so. This makes it necessary that he should oat off the communication between the old and new receiving reservoir, and thus cut off the supply of water which, under the ooutraot, the Columbia Water Power Company is required to force with the distributing reservoir; and, in addition, the operating of both of the works at the Bamo time is a aouroe of danger to the pipes which convey the water to 'the distributing reservoir. By reason of this want of access to the old reoeiviug reservoir, and by the operating of the old works, tho Colum? bia Water Power Company aro inter? fered with in the performance of that part of the contract which requires said company to supply the city with water, and, in fact, prevented from so doing. The works of tho company are adequate for supplying the amount of water re? quired by the contract, and they aro desirous to curry out the contract on their part, if allowed to do so. This communication is made to you, that the i City Council may be-informed of tho facts, and advised that if tho company bo not allowed to fulfill their contracts in this respect, payments will be required 1 us fully as if no such interference was interposed. Trusting that you will submit this i mutter to the Council, and that such rogulatiou may be made as will endblo the company to comply with tho con? tract, and to furnish to tho city tho water required by the contract, I am yours truly,' SAMUEL A.
