FEARFUL ScENE.-On Tuesday, as the
procession of Free Masons were marching
through Main street, accompanied by Brooks
Cornet Band, frightful scene ensued. A
horse attached to buggy, driven by Mr.
Lowell Haywood of Hopedale, took fright at
the music, and started upon run, forcing his
rapid course through every obstacle. Mr.. H.,
in cool manner, accompanied with his wife,
took every precaution to hold his excited ami
NAL, but all in vain. An old man by the name
of Whiting was knocked down in the process
ion, but fortunately not injured. The horse
still pursued his course with his driver at last
hanging upon one shaft and his wife on the
seat. large concourse of people stood ap-
palled, expecting the death of husband and
wife, but most fortunately, both escaped un.
hurt. The horse cleared from the buggy, leav-
ing it wreck behind, with occupants trem-
bling at their miraculous escape. The horse
after running about two miles, was returned
unframed.
Masonic DEDIcATIoN.-The new and splen-
did hall fitted up and leased by Montgomery
Lodge, was appropriately dedicated on Tues
day, the 10th inst. The Grafton by II. b.
Staples, Esq, was well received as an eloquent
offering, worthy the head and heart of its
author. A delegation from the Grand Lodge
of Boston, with others from abroad, officated
in the services. AT 2 O'Clock p. NJ, a process
sion was formed and marched to the Mansion
House, where the fraternity with their wives
partook of a sunptuous dinner, prepared in
the best style Of mine host, Mr.. Packard, the
popular and gentlemanly proprietor. Then
came the ''feast Of reason and flow of soul"
in the shape of toasts, speeches, and rcpartees.
Doubtless the brethren enjoyed the occasion,
while it afforded the new landlord an oppor-

BARBARIsM AT HoME.-AdUentures of q
United States SenatOr.-Some events in the life
OF Mr.. Wlgfall, the new senator from Texas,
who takes Gen. Houston's seat strikingly il
Iustrate the state of southern society, and the
barbarous practices of men EDUCATED under the
dueling system. Several years ago Mr.. Wig
fall was a resident of South Carolina, and
member of the legislature of that state. A
difficulty arose between him and Mr.. Brooks
the father Of the late Preston S. Brooks,-and
Mr.. Wigfall posted Mr. Brooks as a rascal and
a coward, after the southern fashion. Mr. Bird,
a son of the then wife of Mr. Brooks, came to
town about the time; but in ignorance of the
difficulty, called on Mr.. Wigfall, with whom he
was on friendly terms, and invited him to his
then approaching wedding. The two gentle
men were proceeding through the street TO-
gether, when the pacard in question attracted
Mr.. BIS attention Turning at once TO Mr..
W, he asked if lie (Mr. W. was its author. Mr.
Wigfall responded that he was. Mr.. Bird
then said he would tear it down. Mr. Wgfall
forbade him at his peril Mr. Bird, however,
did it. A shooting affray Immediately fol-
lowed, in which Mr. Bird was killed by Mr..
Wigfal. son OF Mr.. Brooks, SEN, took up
the quarrel and challenged Mr. Wigfal They
met; Mr.. Wigfall received Mr.. Brooks's fire
unframed, and then discharged his pistol in
the air. The duel was at this point arrested.
Immediately afterward Mr.. Wigfall received a
second challenge from Preston S. Brooks.
known subsequently for his assault on Senator
Sumner This challenge Mr.. Wigfall declined
TO accept. The quarrel, however, was not al.
lowed to subsidc, and to avoid further blood.

PROVIDENCE AND WORCESTER RAILROAD.
The fifteenth annual statement of the condition
of this corporation shows that the income of
the year ending Nov. 80, 1859, was s341, 1886, II,
of which the sum of S139, 237 O6 was received
for transportation of passengers, and sl94,
O53,25 for freight. The expense of operat-
ing and maintaining the road was sos, 44Oo5,
showing a net income Of $l20, 93297. Ihls
statement exhibits an encouraging degree OF
prosperity as the result Of the transactions OF
the year. Among the items of expenditure,
were some of an extraordinary character for
repairs and renewals of track and depot build
ings which have been paid from the earnings
of the year. Ten miles of new track have
been laid with iron manufactured by Nathan
Washburn of this city twelve miles OF patent
rubber chairs, and thirteen thousand new
sleepers have been put down; two freight To-
comotives have been rebuilt in most thor
ough manner; and twenty nine freight cars,
and the passenger cars have been put into
condition nearly eqnal to new. The expendl-
lures for repairs and renewals of the track and
uIluSeS, LOCOMOTIVES, cars anu uePoI ouiihSo
for the past five years, Including TIE present,
with the addition of $2O,35S paid for locomo-
tives and charged to equipment account in
1856 and 1857, show an annual average of
$50, 1872. The large expenditure for the same
objects this year exceeds this annual average
by $3l 900, equal to two per cent. on the capt.
tai. The bridges have been carefully examin-
ed by a professional bridge builder, and his
suggestions have been carried out. The trains
have been run without accident to passengers
The directors express the opinion that in view
of the present material and financial condition
of the road, being entirely free from floating
debt, and the general prosperity of the bust
ness community, the prospects of the company
are perhaps brighter than ever before.

PAINFUL CASE OF HYDRoPHoBA.-The
Homer (Ill.) Iliad vouches for the truth of a
letter giving the particulars of strange and
terrible instance of this frightful disease Some
time last fall young lady, about twenty or
twenty-five years of age, was gathering peas
near night, when something bit or stung her
on the foot She says it was snake, but she
did not see it. Some time afterwards it began
to affect her She seemed to have fits, COM
mencing at shutdown and lasting sometimes
part, and at other times all of the night
She first becomes nervous, then jerking, and
then her eyeballs begin to protrude, and in a
few hours they look like bursting out, and she
begs those around her to push them back
During the fit she puts herself into every pos
sible attitude; oftdn trying to bite herself,
licking out her tongue, and mimickng snake
in many ways, and most generally perse-
veres until she succeeds in biting herself
and, curious to state, she generally tries to
bite her big toe. About seven or eight weeks
ago she got so she could not drink, and about
week afterward she could not eat and she
has positively remained twenty eight days
without eating one particle of nything Doc
tors could not get anything down her-not
even with pumps. She then seemed to suffer
less. For some time she has lost the use of
one hand and leg, and, in fact of one side.

ANOTHER CHAP HANDLED-Some DAYS
since, on the premises of a gentleman residing
not more than twelve miles north of this place,
an individual, at first taken for mulatto, was
seen skulking about. Under this impression.
the dogs were placed on his track, and after a
race of some five Or six miles the individual
was oyertaken, and proved to be a white man.
On being questioned as to where lie hailed
from, what his business was on the premises
OF this gentleman, where he was going &C.,
nothing satisfactory could be obtained from
him. He either could not, or would not give
anything but evasivc answers to any question.
Consequently he was treated to a genteel
thrashing and a coat of tar and feathers-.SeL.

One of the Rev. Starr Kings lectures is en-

"rhe Disorder of Laws" be quite as sugges-
tive and pregnant a theme for lecture
Strikes us so.--BoSton Post.
The Post is right. Let us have lectures on
"The Disorder of Laws" from such texts as
the fugitive slaye law, the law compelling wit
nesses To criminate themselves, or the propos-
ed congressional slave code for the territories.
And, if more texts are needed, they can be
found in the various southern enactments
against personal liberty and free speech.

BUSINESS PRosPEcTs..C is at work
in our manufacturing and business matters.
Some eight or ten years since we numbered
rising forty manufactures now we have
only twenty in number. Yet these twenty
have greatly multiplied the number of boots
exported for market. This branch is concen-
trating into few hands, making it true as
ever that "large fish will swallow up little
ones.'-In our trading circle we have drawn
little from Worcester. Mr. Albert Leavens,
formerly of that city, is doing good business
in the dry goods line. Mr. May, another of
your merchants, has leased store in the new
