H. Davis and George Williams have been let out of the company's employ , with sincerest regret. The order , we understand , was pro mulgated from headquarters ; and while the cause ot the dismissal of these faithful and efficient employes is not stated , it is current ly believed to be on the grounds of their membership in the order of telegraphers. At all events the action is generally deplored. Walter C. Leighty , the postail clerk arrest ed some months since , charged with black mail , using the mails for illegal purposes , etc. , was acquitted at his trial in Omaha , last week , before Judge Duudy , the jury bringing in a verdict on Friday afternoon. This news will \velcome to his many friends and acquaintances on the B. & M. He was on a run with M. Y. Starbuck of our city for about nine months , and Moody spent most of last week down in Omaha in Leighty's behalf. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that the chances of a passenger on a railroad journey being killed are one in 2,100,000. In rounded figures the number of passengers carried by the railroads of the country last year was close up to 600,000,000 , and of these about three hundred were killed in accidents. No wonder acci dent insurance is so cheap , but profitable. The figures rob travel by rail of its horrors for the timid and for the life and accident insurance companies. Miss C. S.
