ANIMALS ON RAILROAD TRACKS.

A suit was recently brought before the Circuit
Court of Montreal, agains; the ST Lawrence and
Atlantic Railway Company, to recover the value
of Cow killed on the track. The Court decided
that the Company was not compelled to fence in
its road to keep of animals. All they are tequi-
red to do is to give warning, by the blowing of
the whistle ringing the BELL. when the cars APP
'proach public road. The Court said that it
would be most unreasonable to expect that the
speed Of theirailway cars would be checked when
ever an aniinu. appeared the track, and that
the Pnblic, rs well the law, required that per
sons residing near railway should keep their
4 cattle from going the tack at all, instead of
leaving thernut large, expecting to recover dam
,ge' from iac Company in case of damage

Il The HOUSE, WHERE PiERcE WAS BoEN.-A cor
respondent of the Hartford Times thus describes
the house where FRASK PIERCE was born:
Two miles west from the "brdge'' in Clover
Village" so called here, on the old Boston road, is
the house in which Franklin Pierce was BORN
1t is Just such a building as Democratic Presi-
dent of the United States ought to have been born
in. 1t is an ancentlooking two story double man
sion, painted white, and surrounded by about
twenty beautiful naples, each, one of which was
originally set out by Governor Pierce, the honored
| father of Franklin. 1t is the most stately and
Democratic looking building in Hillsborough, and
| is now occupied by Gen. Perce's eldest sister,
Mrs McNiel, the widow of Gen. John Mcneil, of

garden, orchards and outdoor buildings.

ANOTHER USE FOR THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
WrnEs-Scieniiic Investigation and practical ex-
pertinent have demonstrated the ability of the mag
netic telegraph wires TO ring, at the same moment,
all the bells distributed in various sections of our
city, for the very useful purposes of fire alarms
This fact suggests another idea, namely; that of
lighting all the gas lamps Of the city by means of
telegraph wire. Very simple machinery onlYwo'd
be required 10 turn the cock Of tie gaspipe and,
simultaneously with the escape of the gas, to apply
the electric spark. This experiment would ulti-
mateiy prove an economy to the city; and would
also prove another triumph, TO scientific art, which
has been already applied successfully TO the bust
ness of every day life Boston Com.

A SrAnrLixc Scene IN Cnuncu.-Thc Boston

Lass Sunday afternoon, in the "FlrSt Congre-
gational Church. in North Chelse, during the
singing of the second hymn, rabd dog of enor-
nous size rushed up a side aisle and commence d

with spaSmodic leap to the pulpit, beating fIri-
ously against the doors until he fell the liea d
stair exhausted and forthing with impotent rage.
The audience were at once thrown into great con-
fusion, and a general, perhaps fatal, rush was
made for the door seemed to ensue. They were
somewhat reasSured, however, by caution from
the pastor, Rev. Norwood Damon. .to be compo-
sed and remain in their seats as the surest means
of safety.'
AT this crisis Mr.. Ephraim Pierce, youth of
eighteen, and son of Capt. John Pierce, stepped
from his seat, seized the animal by the back OF
the neck, and, Notwithstanding sayeral attempts
to bite, succeeded in dragging him from the house
unframed. The dog fled to the adjoining grave
yard, where he was subsequently shot.
Quiet was restored, the choir finished their hymn
and Mr.. Damon pronounced sermon on death.
a member of the congregation had died duri ng the
previous week. MID. took occasion to illus
rate one of his points, the instructive fear in
of DEATH and of dangers tending to DEATH by the

Tue Wool TEADE.-In CONVERSATION with Mr..
Sessions the principal wool dealer in this city, we
have learned few facts about the wool market
that may be of general interest. The wool clip in
this State this year is mich less than last year, and
has sold on an average of about six cents pound
less than last year. The cause of The dimnu,ion
in this State is supposed TO be caused by the hard
winter, which destroyed sheep, and shortened the
wool on ALL In many parts the sheep are not
sheltered at all in the winter season, and in those
parts the loss last winter great.
1t is now asceraned that the clip, throughout the
whole county, is much less than last year. 1t
amounted, then, to al 0 as ,O0O,G00 pounds. Thu.
year it will fall six seven millions short. This
deficiency is partly attributable 10 the hard winter
and partly to the fact that the farmers are selling
more sheep to the butchers. This deficiency has
caused rapid rise in the price of wool in the cas-
tern markets. Sales i'll New York from 50 to 45
cents, and not much fleece wool can be bought for
less than 40 cents. q --.r
The wool produced this year is less than our ma,-
ufactureTS need, and the balance will have to be
imported. This shows there is still room for cx-
tension i'll the wool growing business.-Ohio State

king every effort TO ascertain the locality of the
Inflated vessel. 1t is supposed she must have
toated from the exact place where she was last

Fire Annihilator, perfectly successful. The
flames issued many feet out of and above the up

stantlv. After being extinguished thus, fire
was relishted in the northwest corner of the
building, upon the fire engine having played, 1t
was mt out almost soon as by the aInihilator.
The action of the annihlator was deemed perfectly
successful and satisfactory, but for the complete

been better if the building had been drier and
more eombustible. Several thousand persons
wercIcollected to witness the experiment.
