subjects which were discussed, but not so
much at length as the above topic, at the in

The Horse Railroad.

MIR. EDITOR
have noticed that there have been meet
ings upon the subject of horse railroad in
past to lose the benefit Of a number of enter
prlses which would have been carried into
effect successfully here had we not failed in
not being sufficiently liberal towards them.
l could refer to two or three branches of bust
ness which are now successfully carried on
in other places, which might have been had
here naturally and easily had not the cold
shoulder been turned to them.
We now have an opportunity to establish
and carry into effect another enterprise most
important to the credit and prosperity of the
city. This is a horse railroad. In my opin-
ion, if the road should be brilt by the city
and it never paid dividend, it would so much
increase the capital and business of the city
that the money might be considered proftably
invested. In case a road is built and well
managed, there can be no question that the
investment will be a good one. If any one
doubts this, let him examine the history of
well managed horse railroads in other parts
of the state, and he will doubt no longer.
/ trust that the men who have the means will
so far have the best Interests of the city at
heart, that they will not let this enterprise
fail, and thus let Worcester fall behind other
places in the state where horse railroads are
successfully managed, when we have far more
abundant material for operating one to adj
vantage than those places have. Let every
man who can afford to subscribe do so at
once and let the road be put into operation
| Immediately. J.P

considerable damage.
In Cambridge, the old ''Tufts Mansion on
Magazine street, occupied by Charles Cook,
was struck. Mr.. Cook was sitting in chair
in the kitchen, asserting fruit, and was blind

saw his wife PROSTATE before him, with her
clothes on fire. She had on a hoop skirt,
about which the lightning played, and which
was probably the means of saving her life.
The outside skirts of her dress were scorched
wherever they came in contact with the steel,
but none of her inside clothing nor her body
were touched by the fluid. The servant girl,
Kate Lanergan was severely injured.
In Roxbury. the house of Mrs. Richard
