 Rebecca WoodhOuse rs. Moses For6es and o,hers- This was an action brought before the Superior Court at Hartford at its January to recover dam ages for an injury which the plaintiff sustained on the 18th of January 1896, by the upsetng of stage in the 1 town of West Stockbrdge, in Massachusetts, of which the defendants are propnetors. The stage was heavily laden with nine inside passengers and four outside, including the driver. and large quantity of baggage, some part of which was on ihe top of the coach It appeared that the stage was driven rapid ly into the village from the south, and turned round shortly by the driver with view to present the door of the coach to the public house, when it was over turned and dashed with great violence on the ground by which the plaintiff sustained severe confusion the head and had her left hand very cruelty aeer ated that occasoned her many months of intense sui ferng. and at one time put her in imminent peril Her hand is now and ever will be useless. It was proved that the plaintiff, who belongs to Wehersfeld

 in this state is by trade very skifu taioress and e. joys large share of the confidence and affections of ] Il. | L

 dered the case peculiarly aggravatng is, she is left handed, and is now totally disenabled from pursuing her usual occupation. It proved by the defend that the driver (who is son of Mr. Forbes) sus- tains good character, and had ever conducted with propriety before the accident occurred. The case argued by Ellsworth and T. Smith of Litchfeid, for the plaintiff, and by Hungerford and Chapman for the defendants. Chiet Justice Williams gave an unu. sualy able and interesting charge. He told the jury that inasmuch the defendants had employed dri. yer of good character, they ought to give punitive or vndlctive damages but just compensation for the actual injury which the plaintiff had sustained. The

 jury reurneda verdict for $ls75 damages and costs of l suit, which though the amount may seem lafge) the plaintiff would cheerully foreeo for the restoration of her hand. It is believed that few such verdcts will induce very saluary caution in.the management of | our public conveyances.-Com.

 CONGRESS-We have this week. in the absence of much news from elsewhere, devoted an unusual portion of our paper to the proceedings of Congress- and the discussions consequent upon two or three im portant questions. It will be seen, by reference to preceding columns, that the sitting members from Mississippi Messrs. Gholson and Claiborne, (V B. have been displaced from their seats, notwithstanding the decision at the session but from subsequent information, are inclined to believe that the whig members, elected in November, Messrs. Prentiss and Word, will not be permitted to take the seats thus made vacant, but that the whole matter will be re- ferred back to the people of Mississippi As she has only two Representatives in Congress she will thus be deprived of vote until new election can be had. which cannot probably be before the middle of March We annex the yeas and nays upon the question for vacating the seats of Claiborne and Gholson - 1 Yeas-Messrs Adams, Alexander, Heman Allen, Briggs William Carter, Chambers.
