MAINE GuBERSATonIAL MEssAsE.-Goyernor Nor
rill was inaugurated at Augusta, Me-, on the 7th,
aud delivered his message. 1t is a lengthy doeu-
ment, recommending economy in the finaDees and
little legislation complimenting the state upon
its railways, shipping mechanical and agricultural
resources, but complaining that agriculture has
not advanced as rapidly as other departments OF
industry. The adoption Of measures for settling
Aroostook are recommended, and also the build
Ing of school for the training OF teachers. The
liquor question is lrngthily treated and further
legislation recommended, with submission OF
whatever is determined upon, to the public. A
very considerable discussion of Kansas troubles
and sauatter sovereignty follows.

ELoPEMEST IN ILIIN0Is-0n the 3ist ult., Dir. o.
A. LoveiOy, of Aurora, called his wife to him,
placed notes and accounts in her hands to the
amount of 81 900, made over TO her deed of the
loC ON which his homestead WAS situated. and con-
cluded by coolly svowing his determination to
leave her. in company with another mans wife,
between whom and himself criminal intimacy
had long been suspected. The lady alluded to was
the wife of a respectable mech banic named Robert
Neale, and the mother of two children. The spouse
of the doctor of course took on" dreadully ut the
strange turn affairs had taken, but was speedily
silenced, and informed that nothing on earth
could change the determination of her fickle lord.
On the evening of the same day Mrs. Nesle, who
was preparing to leave her husband, betook her
self to a dry goods store Main street, Fast Di-
vision, where she had frequently traded, selected
SPLENDID broche shawl, valued at some forty dol
lars saying that she had not expected to purchase
80 costly article, but would take IL home--as a
good wife shoud-and If Mr.. Neaie cuincided With
her choice, she would return the ensuing day and
settle. If he should not like the trade, she to
have taken cheaper one she had examined. But
alas for the honesty of woman, and of Mrs. Neale
in particular. She forgot to return the shawl aud
took the cars at an early hour the very next morn
ing, and was OFF "like pot leg" Her sp0Sd
followed in the evening train, and not until some
time afterwards did it leak ont that they had flown
together.
DIR. Lovejoy had lived here some three years and
had the reputation of being pretty "hard case"
His wife is fine woman and respected by all who
know her. She has child. Mr.. SeaIe is a la
boring man, and his hands are hard with honest
toll. For the past eighteen months he has been
working in Indiana only returning to his home
at intervals and it is more than probable that the
guilty Doctor and Mrs. Neale have improved the
time during his absence in forming this criminal
passion, which has desolatej the hearts of two in
nocent parties and greatly scandalized the neigh
borhsod. Mr. Neale had lived with his wife for the
space of nearly ten years, and they had two chill
dren. girl and boy the first ionr and the latter
two years of age. The abscondng wife took the
little girl with her. leaving the tender infant to
the care of her husband. with the rather negative
cousolation of not knowing whether he may be the
fi.ner of it not. II he is to take her word for
| IL, he has not that honOr.-AurOrd RepatlicGn.

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-A convention of the grow.
ers of Chinese sugar cane was held in Springfield
H. on the eth inst. The meeting largely at
tended by prominent agrieulturists of the North
west aud from other States. Letters were read
from growers of cane in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio
and Pennsylvan which aided 10 the experience
of those in attendance at the convention, form the
basis of an estimate of the value and uses of the
cane as far AZ known, and its proper cultivation
and treatment. Samples of sugar and syrup were
numerous. All agreed that the care grown upon
thin soil contains the highest saccharine qualities
Mr.. John l.. Smith, of Louisville, ky., writes that
the cane grown In that neghborhood the past year
had but about ten per cent. of crystalizabe sugar
and that the syrup made from the juice can be
crystalzed in part only; he thinks it hardly as
good the beet for sugar. Joseph :. Lowering. of

unusually successful in cultivating the His

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE-Th. Dayen.
port (iowa) Democrat of the 30tl has the follow
lug account Of railroad disaster In that vicinity.
1t says:
"Ihe Western train which left this CITY last
evening at 6.1j, met with a most serious accident
at Duck Creek bridge, by which the engineer. .Wn,
Morgan, and the fireman, Mr.. Barney lost their
lives. The train WAS running at its usual slow
speed while approaching the bridge, and when II
had reached the first epd Of the bridge the engine
struck piece of timber which had been placed
there by some inhuIian monster who wished to
wreak vengeance upon the railroad company The
eng ine was thrown from the track, and struck
auoDg the timbers of the bridge, breaking them
ut once, and was precipitated some twenty feet
into the mud and water below, into which it sunk
almost out Of sight, burying beneath it the spgi
neer and fireman, and of course killing them ir,-
stantly. The tender and baggage Car followed aud
were precipated into the same guIph, but by some
provifentiai interference, the passenger car did
not follow, though il was thrown from the track
No other persons than those above mentioned were
severely injured.
The body of the engineer was found, as also the
body OF the fireman, but 80 deeply was the latter
submerged, and SO firmly held down by the pres
sure of the tender upon him, up to last night his
body had not been recovered although in attempt
ing to do so those engaged had nearly stripped
him of his clothing by frutless endeavors with
graphing hooks to extricate him from the fearful
place at which he met his untmely aud awful
death"

TIE UTAH ExrEpITsos--The latest accounts from
the Utah expedition represent that all the troops
saving Cooks command. were 10 winter quarters
at Fort Bridger. Cook was forty miles distant;
and the position Of his men and camp may be
CLEANED from the following extracts from a letter
written BY gentleman accompanying his com.
msnd, and published In the st. Louis Republican
The writer dates from Big Sandy, November IL. lie
says
IL had designed TO give a little history of our
march In the famous Utah expedition but the
huriyburly of an expedition of this kind. and the
great inc2nvenienco attending correspondence,
renders II Impossible for me to carry out my wish
''Up to the 9th instant. the second day after we
passed Independence Rock, we were favored with
most agreeable weather, and travelled with ease
and comfort. But here the hardships of our jour
ney began. A heavy snow storm set in and con-
tinued oil and on for two days. We were then
pretty high in the mountains; thu ~eather became
Intensely cold, with high winds; but here and

but hardly sufficient to answer the purposes of
cooking. Our poor animals became much faded
and worn, and many gave out and died. For the
last three mornings, the first sight that met our
eyes on coming cut OF camp, was a dead mule
horse. frozen stiff Not less than thirty have thus
perished in sight Of camp, and at least fifty have
been abandoned, and have met the same fate. One
ball OF the remaining ones are unfit for service
We have daily to abandon many line wagons, har-
ness, &C., and all for want of mules to draw them
We are now within eighty miles of the place,
where, by Colonei Johnsons last order, expect
TO make our winter quarters-lIenry's Fork of
Green river-to reach which will require six days
travel. We hope to accomplish this, AS. since We
crossed the South Pass the weather has teceme
milder, the roads better, AMI We have found less
snuw."
The Same correspondent writes on the 10th of
November: "The express from Col. Johnson's
command is now coming into our camp. We are
now on the Green mountains and the weather is
very cold. Col. Johnston is at Fort Bridger. The
animals Of Col. Cooks command are still giving
out.
If recent dispatches be relied upon. il is not
likely that there will be any orcible resistance to
the U. e troops. The Mormons were preparing to
leave for the British Possessions. They need all
the strength they have, if their intention is to
found community in other territories, and there
fore they will not waste it in war, but wait in
quiet submission to the temporary restraint they
Will be under, and when theseas0n arrives depart,

TURKEY.

The subject in connexion with Turkey
which principally forces itself upon the atten-
tion Of Europe and the Christian world in
general, is toe return to their ancieot bigotry
and hatred Of Christianity Of all those who
profess Mahometanism. Even near Beyrout,
where the Christians are 60 much in majOr-
ity over the Mussulmeu, the followers of the
Prophet are every day withdrawing them
selves more and more from all intercourse
with Christians, and blame, with increased
violence, all those oftheir own creed who in
ny way break down the wall of separation;
and we fear it will soon be a rare thing to
zee Mussuimsn Oh good or friendly terms
