AcoIDENT.-We are Informed that
Charles Woodruff, of Cambridge, was
badly hurt few weeks ago, while in the
woods hauling wood He was at work
for Chauncey Warner, and driving pair
of oxen somewhat inclined to have their
own way. He had started down hill in
the woods, with long log on sled, and
in his efforts.to control the team, was
caught between the end Of the log and
tree, while the oxen were going at a
rapid rate. The oxen broke the yoke and
cleared themselves from the sled. leaving
him fastened between the log and the
tree, unable to extricate himself. Anoth-
er man being in the woods, came to his
relief, and he swas taken TO the house,
with his leg badly smashed. 1t is hoped,
however, that he will recover.

New BUTTER WoRKER.-Almon Swift,
of Gilmore. is introducing hisne butter
worker, which has jast been patented.
We have seen it, and should judge il to
be good contrivance-for separting butter
milk from tls butter, and for working in
the salt. Its principal feature of i'm
provement consists in huted or grooyed
roller instead of the ordinarily plain lev
err, and this is thought to be better adapt
ed to the perfect, easy and rapid perform
ance of the work of freeing the butter
milk from the butter, and working in the
salt.

volley. Secesh fell dead also. Five balls
passed through this door, many more
through. the second story windows, and
one ball even knocked brick from the
top of the building, three stories high.
In all there were eight killed and about
twelve wounded. The Buttcrnuts toted
away their wounded, SO their number is
not known. The loyal citizens are exas-
perated to the highest pitch, and finding
that fofbearance has ceased to be a vir-
tue, are now determined that copperhead

GREAT TELEGRAM ENTERPRISE.

The stock of the Pacific telegraph COM
pany has lately been merged in the stock
of the Western Union, SO there is but
simple interest now between the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, and the wires OF the
company already extends to all the prln-
cipal western cities. This company is to
have, for 33 years, the exclusive right of
a new line Of telegraph, which is to pass
through British Columbia, Russian Amer
lea, across Behring's straits, and through
Asiatic Russia to st. Petersburg, and
thence to all the principalcities of Europe.
The Russian government undertakes to
construct the line from ST. Petersburg, to
the mouth of the AMOR river, in eastern
Asia. distance of 1000 miles. and has
already completed about three fourths OF
the distance. This company undertakes
the work here. extending the lines across
Behring's straits and through Russian
America, British Columbia, till they con-
meet with the great lines of this company.
which already extend to the Pacific.
Through the exertions of Perry Med.
Collins, American commercial agent and
consul at St. Pctersburgh, who have been
at work on this scheme for eight years,
both Russia and England have made lib
eral grants and concessions to the compa.
ny. and recent Washington despatch
announces that Mr.. Collins has just ar
rived there from Europe, to solicit the CO.
operation Of Congress, which will un
doubleday be obtained, and the last link
in the great chain which binds together
not only America and Europe, but Asis
and Africa too, will be speedily construct
ed. The Western Union telegraph com
pany is already making arrangements tc
fulfil their part of the work by the ISSUE
of $l00O0.Q00 worth of special stock fo
the purpose of constructing the new line

while, SO disposing his forces as to take

The battle was kept up until 8 P. NJ,

BURNING OF THE WINTHROP HOUSE -
The Winthrop House and Masonic Hall,
corner of fremont and Boylston Streets,
Boston, were destroyed by fire last week.
AS the fire broke out in the fifth story
the two hundred dodgers escaped unharm-
ed, but every thing inside was total
loss. The building was owned by the
grand masonic lodge of the State, and
the Freemasons' Hall in the upper story
was the finest masonic hall in the country.
1t was occupied by no less than eighteen
lodges each of whom had much valuable
property in the hall, not a dollars worth
of which was saved. Among the valua-
bles destroyed were original portraits of
Washington, Gen. Warren, Price, the first
grand master of the State, and also of
all the grand masters, from 1880 down /;
a great number of original masonic docu-
ments bearing the signatures OF eminent
masons of the previous century, among
them characters and papers signed by
Washington, Warren, Franklin, Paul Re,
we're and others; the entire records of the
Supreme Council of the United States,
and the valuable library Of the grand
lodge, embracing over one thousand vol
umes and many pamphlets, many Of
which were of great. value and which it
will be impossible to replace. A lock Of
Washingtons hair, with the gold urn in
which it was deposited, were fortunately
not in. the building, and are therefore
safe The insurance of the masons is
$4,000; their loss incalchlable. The loss
of J. II. Silsbce, proprietor of the Win
throp House, is $4,000; insurance
$25.0 -Enchange.
