some time ago on sick furlough, and it was

His furlough having expired, and he still I'm.
able to. return to his regiment, application on
certificate Of two Of our physicians was made
to Provost Marshal Curtis for an extension
Of twenty days. The application was re-
turned with an extension Of only ten days.

accident on tie D. e 8. @. e. Ron Las,
Tuesday the train due here at o'clock p. N.
did not reach here till half past one in the
morning The Dubuque Times has tbs fol-
lowing account of the accident which delayed
the trains. both ways,.on that day:
Conductor Kellog's train from the West,
yesterday, ran over COW near Buffalo Greek,
two miles this side of Winthrop. A general
smash up was the result. The engine, ten
der and five freight cars were thrown down
an embankment seven feet high One car
loaded with wheat remained crosswise on the
track. The last freight car had only the
forward truck off. The baggage and two
passenger cars, full of travellers, remained
uninjured.
The engine fell on its side in the mud, and
the engineer, Mr.. Gerard, extricated himself
from under its side, unhurt. The tender was
turned bottom upwards between the track
and the engine, and the fireman crawled from
under it, uninjured. Another narrow escape
was that of q brakeman named Wood. He
was thrown, with the second freight car,
about thirty feet, and fell at its forward end.
receiving only slight bruises on . foot and
shoulder. .aIl saeE
The freight cars were loaded With grain,
and Eve Of them were well smashed, and the
wheat and oats poured out among the rub
bish Of wood and iron. Notwithstanding
such crushing of cars and piling up tracks,
broken ties, rails, wheels and axlcs, the con-
cussion in the passenger cars was SO slight
that some Of the passengers were not aware
of the danger till it had passed
No blame is attached to the engineer or
conductor, a. the alarm was given, the brakes
applied promptly, and the train, running at
only moderate speed. was so far checked
that scarcely hundred feet was passed after
the danger was perceived. The COW had
crossed the track, and rccrossed suddenly to
join the herd some distance on the opposite
side. 1t is remarkable that such an amount
of damage should be done to the train with
so slight personal injury.
The road has been fortunate as to accidents
this one being greater, we believe, than al!
that has occurred since the road was opened,
six years ago.
The passengers, by changing cars on the
arrival Of the eastern train, reached Dubuque
at Q o'clock last evening.

Indians In cwn.-During the past week
there has been acamp Of Musquaka Indians
about two miles south Of town on the oppo9
site side Of. the river, They appear to be in
very destitute condition, and, in their Of.
forts to improve it, have given our citizens
some admirable specimens Of genuine Indian
begging. We suppose they are here because
they were froze and starved here. They
bring wildly to mind, with the female por-
ton Of our population, oil the horrors Of the
Minnesota massacre, and the consequence is
everybody is taken for an Indian, and shut
out from indoors till the best of evidence is
given to the contrary, while c,inoline is de-
cidedly scarce aud active after nightfall.

A Brace lsrael-ite. Some time ago man,
taken for . farmer, bought trunk at CAIN
4 GHsMAR's. Last week he. called for it,
and took it away; and, As Was learned short
y after bis departure, another one with it,
which he had not bought. A horse, all sad
died and bridled, standing at a post near by,
was borrowed and the clerk, who had sold
the man the trunk, dispatched post haste in
pursuit. About two miles out of town the
man hove in sight, with horse team and lum.
ber wagon. The thief discovered that he
was pursued, and giving his horses the lines,
dashed ahead as fast As excessively muddy
roads and heavy vehicle would admit. But
he was pursued noelongsr. His pufsuer
cody turned the horse be strobe homeward,
to the disgrace of the animal aud the, Shame
Of himself His excuse was that I" the man
had splendid team" and that he didn't
like to chase him with borrowed horse"
The truth is probably he was afraid to ride
the horse OF the most gentle gallop, and
found thar, should he overtaks the man, las
hs certainly might have dons-he would not
have the courage to speak to him about the
stolen property.

CLEVELAND MANUFACTURES IN Russia
Baldwin, Dewitt & Company, proprietOrs of
the Cleveland Agricultural Works, received,
a few days ago, another order. for their
" Hubbard Reapers and Mowers" to go to
CrOnstadt, Russia. Some two or three years
ago, it may be remembered, our city was
visited by Baron sternberg, "Chambella de
S. NJ. PEmpersur de Russie," then travelling
through the United States. The Baron spent
some hours in visiting the extensive
works Of this firm and examining the vari-
Gus implements there manufactured and was
so well pleased with their Hubbard Harvest
ers that he purchased a "Combined Reaper
and Mower " anda 4" Hubbard Light Mower"
las well as some other agricultural imple-
ments) t. be used upon his estate near RIVAL,
Russia. The result Of this Introduction into
Russia of the Hubbard machines has been
that every season since has brought to Messrs.
Baldwin, Dewitt & Company orders from
Russia for " more of the same sort" Con-
sidsring that these orders have come to them
without any solicitation on the part of Messrs.
Baldwin, Dewitt & Company, it speaks well
for the quality of the goods made at the
Cleveland Agricultural Works.
A glance at their order books shows that
the farmers Of these United States entertain
the came opinion Of the Hubbard Mowers as
do the intelligent Russians.

Report Of the New YORK market

For the week ending May I'd, 1868, by John Boyco
4 Son, Commission Merchants, So Pearl-st.
Butter-The market for old Butter continues on
the decline and the new lots arriving from this State
! sell slowly at about last weeks quotations. As yet
there is no grass Butter in market, but we see no
reason as yet to suppose that it will go at less than
lsc and We think the first lots arriving from the
Western Reserve will bring 2Oe. The European mar
kets are gIutted with old Butter which will be sold
mostly for grease. We would say again that Yellow
Butter for this market should be packed in oak
hrkins with round hoops, maze as neatly as possible,
for each lot we can find sale to any extent. Our agent
in Cleveland will furnish stencil plates to all wishing
them and it is much better to use a plate for marking
than to disfgure the packages otherwise. Cards are
80 liable to get removed as to be entirely unfit for
use upon Butter, especially in warm weather.
Cheese-New Cheese is arriving rather more free
ly from this State and sells slowly, it being too green
yet for shippers. No Ohio in market Of any account.
The foreign advices continue favorable for Cheese
and should tho present rates Of foreign exchange be
maintained, good prices must be the result during the
