EXCITEMENT IN CUBA.

great deal of excitement exists on
account Of the expected invasion which,
was reported would take place on the 18Th.
Up to the time of the lsoJei's sailing. mo-
news had reached Havana that landing
had bcen effected. Dispatches from New
Orleans are said to have reached the Cap
tam General that the expedition had
sailed. consequently the soldiers slept on
their arms; horses were kept saddled. and
the entire army and navy were IN a mo-
ment's warning ready for the fight. One
steamer has kept steam up at all hours.
so it is said by some ofthe personal friends

A Spaniartf was to be "sarotcd" on the
morning Of the esd. having been betrayed
by one of the Spanish Pilots. as a spy of
General Lopez. 1t seems this man had
offered twelve Donbloons to the pilot. if he
would join the expedition. and act as pilot
for them. lie received the money. and
then informed the captain General. who
Immediately bad the Spaniard arrested,
tried, and condemned to die on the Esd.
A gentleman from the Island. and one
who has been travelling much of late,
informs US that all over the Island the
most anxious desire is manifested for the
invasion of the Island by the Americans.
and probably the people were never SO
ardent and eager 10 rise enmasse and Join
the invaders. as at the present moment.
We give these rumOrs as they reach US.
The position Of fairs in Cuba is doubtless
critical, and whether actual t:cmonstra-
ions are in progress or not, is a question
which remains undecided.

PROF. PAGES NEW RAILROAD.

Owing to the announcement that, on
Saturday. Professor Pages Electro-May-
netic locomotive would have preliminary
trial on the railroad. a large number of
parsons, including many of scientific attain
mcnts, were in attendance. near the sta
ton house. manitcsting a marked interest
III the success of the experiment. A report
that an accident had occurred excited
apprehensions in the minds of many that
there was to be either pOstponement or a
failure. However. this state Of feeling
was somewhat relieved by the appearance
Of Professor Page himself on the platform
Of his car, who informed the spectators
that two OF the cells in the middle Of the
battery which he was about to employ had
explodeh-an occurrence, he said, which
had not before taken place in the course Of
two years experiments but that. in order
that the company which had assembled
might not be disappointed, the locomotive
would nevertheless shortly move. Like
| the sun which at that moment emerged
from dark rain n-cioud, this brief announce
ment frightened the countenances Of all
who beard it, and, much to their satisfac-
ton, in the course Of five minutes the car
came forth from its shed. moving steadily.
and wenied its way on the rail for several
hundred yards then paused and backed
to another track. and again moved forward
in the direction Of Baltimore.
We had no means of ascertaining it's
speed. but should. judge that it was at the
rate of about five or six miles per hour.
which, for an experimental trip. with a
crippled battery, was doing remarkably
we'll, we think. Indeed, we have hardly
a doubt. from what Professor Page has
already accomplished. tnat he will ere
long attain the successful application Of
electro magnetic power to vessels and
railway trains now propelled by steam.
1t was a novel spectacle to witness 4
car smoothly and quietly emerging from
its place Of shelter, with none of its machi-
merry visible, and travelling over the rails
without the usual accomplishments of the
putting steam. the glowing furnace. the
dense volume of black smoke, and the
clashng Of heavy enginery. and only oc
casionally emitting a bright fash under
the car-the miniature lightning Of this
wonderful invention.
Having gone out some distance on the
road, the locomotive then returned as
noiselessly as it went. when it was again
safely housed
Whatever doubts may be entertained as
to Professor Pages ultimate success, it
should be remembered that his present
efforts have already compassed much more
than those expended in the first expert
ments with steam as a motive power. dur

HEARr-REND1NG TRAGEDy.--It be-
comes our painful duty to record most
heart-rending tragedy that was enacted
in our village on yesterday. The parties
engaged in it were Mr. Elisha w. Harris,
DIR. Platt Groom, and Mr. Pleasant May.
Mr. Harris was killed. DR.. Groom was
shot. we learn, in both arms and one
shoulder; his wounds however. are not
considered dangerous. Mr. May was also
badly, though not dangerously wounded.
Some six or eight pistol shots were
fired, and the wonder is, that all three of
the parties were not killed. The lighting
commenced near the post Office door, and
was continued across the street to the old
Mansion House, where Mr. Harris received
a bowie knife wound, Inflicted, we under
stand. bv DR. Groom, which caused his
death almost instantaneously.
We are not sufficiently advised of the
particulars Of this most heart rending at
fair to attempt recital OF them; tn oush
we understand it had it's origin in a disa-
greement between Mr. Harris and DIR
Groom. in regard to 2 fence boundary
