HIS HEAD Cur OFF BY A RAILROAD

HIS HEAD Cur OFF BY A RAILROAD
TRAlN.-Peter Jones, a boy about sew
enteen years old, was run over and
killed on the Wilmington and Zanes-
vile CO.. Railroad last Friday after
noon, about one o'clock, opposite the
Trimblc Farm, two miles east of Sa-
bins, by the train coming west. Young
Jones had quarrelled with his parents
and left home, and for some days had
been staying with a neighbor /; but
Thursday this neighbor told him he
could keep him no longer, and advised
him to go back home. He according
w took his clothes and started, but
stopped on the railroad, which was a
few rods from the house. When the
train came along, he was curled down
between two ties, and the engineer
did not see him till almost on him.
Jones then raised his head, but imme.
dlately laid 1t down again, with his
neck on the rail, and the wheels cut
his head off as though it had been
done with an axe. The head was
found some twenty feet off the track.
standing on the severed neck, with
the face toward the road, and looking
naturally, except that it was very
pale and the tongue out about an inch,
The body was horribly mangled, ii
having been rolled over and cut and
bruised by the train. He had been
cracking hazlenuts on the rail, and as
he was out the night before, it is pos
sible that he stopped there for thai
purpose, and fell asleep.

Hildreth, on his arrival here from West I'm
ion, where he had been nominated by Will
liams' friends, $50 says the Judge,) suggested
to both the Editors of this paper that it would
be well for the Democrats to nominate only n
candidate for Judge and allow McGlathery and
himself to 60 on our ticket. In this way
Williams could be beaten While he was
talking this treason to his own party, to us in
front of the American, Williams came up and
Hildreth "dropped his head like a guilty
thing and remarked talk of the devil and
he is sure to appear.'--MGrey Times.
The above statement is a barc-faced
falschood, and Richardson knows it.
1t was put forth too late to be contra
dicted previous to the election, and no
doubt hos had ito eGee~ But VIC are
unwilling to allow a lie of that sort to
pass unnoticed, and take occasion,
even after election, to give it a fiat
denial. The truth is this Mr.. Hill
dreth was asked in McGrcgor if Judge
Murdoch would run as an indepcn-
dent candidate. He replied in the
negative. "What then? Murdock's
friends will not support Williams
who will they vote for?" was asked
Mr.. Hildreth answered, that he had
heard some of them say that they would
strike Williams name from the ticket
and substitute thato of McClintock, and
vote for, or support, McClintock, Nc
Glathery and himself. This is the
whole story, and all the ground there
was for the above slander. Mr.. Hill
dreth never asked a nomination from
a solitary Republican, in the conven
ton or out of it and does it lool
probable that he would ask of thu
Democrats what he would not ask o
his own political friends?

The last and most powerful blow
struck to crush crinolinc out of fash

Atlantic, and from physicians. An
eminent French physician has given
his opinion, hat by rcason of it the
wearcr is fearfully subjected to catch
ing cold, and finally, diseases that are
sure to prove fatal. And to this an
English physician adds the weight of
his opinion. In a recent letter to the
Medical Times, he relates the follow

by a lady suffering from rheumatic
pains in her knees /; she has never

there is no tendency to rheumatism in

SEDUCTION AND SuIcIDE.-A girl of l6
years, Miss Esther Ann House, left her
fathers house, in n. H., a few weeks
since, and went to Manchester to work
in one of the mills of that city On
Tuesday she was invited to take a
ride with u woman and a male CON-
panion, which invitation she accepted,
and before her return her seduction
was accomplished. When she awoke
to the reality of her condition she was
stricken with rcmorse, and procuring
arsenic, swallowed a large dose. The
following morning she vas found in
the agonies of death, lying by the
roadside leading to her home. She
fingered a few hours and then died in
great distress. She had always main
tanned a good reputation for chastity
and her melancholy end is much la
mentcd by her friends. The bcstia'
murderer, Nathaniel Whittier, a worth
less fellow, is now in Amherst Jail
His companion is still at large.

The Red River of the North
AND THE ~GRAssHoPPERs.

The st. Paul Mime sotian informs
us that by the last train from Selkirk
settlement news is received that the
previous reports representing that the
crops and heritage were destroyed by
the grasshoppers are wholly unbound
ed. Judge Johnstonc, the Recorder
Of Rupert's Land, who came down by
this arrival, states that the crops
we're most plentiful, and that in the
matter of supplies of provision, the
colony was never better off. The re-
ports of the destruction by the grass
hoppers originated in this wise:
When the Red River trains left Sell
kirk, about the 25th of June, the
whole country was filled with young
grasshcppers, Just Matched, and the
fear and supposition was, that another
such devastation by them as formerly
created a famine in the colony, would
be again experienced. Under this be-
lief, pork, -four and provisions were
ordered from St. Paul both by the Hud-
son Bay Company and by private ira
ders, and the returning carts were
loaded more or less with provisions.
1t seems, however, that about the
Goth of June, the grasshoppers rose in
the air, and in a body attempted to
emigrate east of Red River. But 10
and behold ! their ambition exceeded
their ability, and down they fell and
were drowned in the Red River, whose
surface they covered to the depth OF
three or four inches. This has i'm.
proved the fisheries on Red River, and
the fish now caught are gloriously
fat. The drowning of grasshoppers,
therefore, not only rejoiced the hearts
of all the people of the Red River Of
the North, but even the fish thereof
must have shouted with gladness al
the plentiful feast spread before thei,
maws. "'Tis an i'll wind that blows
nobody any good

was held in st. Charles City the pres
ent week-Judge Murdoch, presiding.
But a small portion of the business
was transacted, for the reason that the
term consisted of but three days and
on one of these the Court held no ses-
sion, it being election day. Thus a
large amount of business goes over
till next July.
In the matter of the relocation of
u county seat, a change of venue
was taken to Dubuque county, by the
counsel for the Centre interest.

CUBA.-The fertility of the soil of
Cuba is well known. The labor of
cultivation is small, and the profits
we'll nigh fabulous. 1t is said that
some planters, who have several es-
tates, have an income of eight hundred
thousand or a million of dollars an
nually. On new ground, sugar, which
in Louisiana requires to be planted
once in three years, will produce it's
annual crop for nine or ten years, so
that the planter has nothing to do but
reap the harvest every year. But
Notwithstanding these extraordinary
inducements to cultivate the soil, by
far the larger portion of the island is
yet a wilderness. a published state
ment gives only one-twcntieth part of
it as under cultivation. Some part of
the residue is mountainous and untilla-
bic, but a very considerable portion is
as fertile as that which yields so enor-
nous a revenue.
In addition to the sources of agri-
cultural wealth, there are rich copper
and coal mines, and the forests abound
with mahogany, cedar and other choice
woods. There are some serious draw
backs to a residence Oh the island,
however, the principal of which are
the enervating climate and the yellow
fever. A minor but by no means des-
picable evil is the mosquitoes, whose
sting is very poisonous to strangers,
producing a high degree of infiamma-
ton. The hands, wrists and ankles
swell up and suppurate, making great
sores, which leave pits almost as deep
as those of the small pox, and mucl
larger. After a Residence of tive
years, however, the sting is scarcely
felt, and the poison produces little OF
no effect. This has been accounted
for by the idea that the enervating
climate renders the blood sc thin and
poor that it is no longer capable OF
the same degree of inflammation.
