AN Inflated SpoT.-One day last
week, the Southwark bound Freight Train
on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
run over three or four head of cattle about
a mile north of Bellevilie, killing one and
seriously manning the balance. The acct
dent'oOcurred at the same place where the
excursion train was thrown from the track
oy running over an OK two years ago, kill
ing quite number Of passengers and
weunding many others. The road is well
fenced at this point, which is also true of
its entire length, and We do not under
stand how cattle could find their way upon
1t. In the present instance the engine
was net thrown from the track and no dam
age was done beyond that which befell the
cattle.

WONDERFUL. Prof Stcarns has boon
lecturing on Psychology and experiment

eat week at the Liberal church. In t g
wonderful and amusing, we have never seen
these performances equalled. They must
be seen TO be aPprsciated-they cannot
be fully described We have seen nothing
which would SO we'll repay The small fee
for admittance, and would advise all

He will lecture again this Friday evening.
MORE INcENDIARIssl Ion Sunday morn
ing between enc and two o'clock smoke
was seen to issue from the woodhouse be-
longing te the Bueua Vista House in The
Second Ward, which upon Investigation
proved 10 be the result of another act of
incendarism Is seemed from the ap-
pearance of things that Camphene, Tur--
pentine, or some other combustible fluid
had been thrown upon the wood to faeili-
tate the progress of the FIRE and make su
rer the destruction of property. Awatch-
man who happened to be on. the corner-of
Main and Third streets at the time fortu-
nately discovered the flames and reached
the spot in time to put them cut before
much damage was done. There can be no
doubt that there are incendiaries in our
midst, and it behooveg every enc to be on
guard against their depredations Efforts
should also be put forth to trace them cut
and if discovered an example should be
made Of them that will put an end to such
nefarious transactions.
CONC BACK TO FIRST PR1NCIPLEs.-A
bill passed the Senate of this State last
Saturday repeating the act incorporating
the city of Watertewn. If it passes the
Assembly also, as We have nc doubt it will,
it being understood that eur Member ia
vors it, and the Governor gives il his APP
prevail, WATERFOWL will fall back upon first
principles and her affairs be managed by a
board of Trustees instead Of a Common
Council We are inclined to think shat
the change will be good enc. 1t is the
opinion of many that the welfare Of the
city will be better promoted by it than it
is under the present system and at a great
ly reduced expense, This is ga consum-
nation deveutly to be wished, ;" and if it
can only be reached through the proposed
legislation, we GO for it with all our might,
We are in favor Of anything that will re-
duee our taxes and give the Watertcwn
public faithful and economical admins
tration of its affairs. It seems as though
some plan might be devised to accomplish
this, and it is possible that the one now
under consideration is exactly what We
want If it is, it cannot become law a
moment too soon.
