About Money.

Great SAKE has sung about how money
But how it comes-who knows?
w ny, every Western mothers son
Can tell yeu how the thing is done:
1t comes by honest toll and trade,
By welding sledge and driving spade, ~
And building ships, balloons, and drums
And that's the way the money comes.
How does it come = The way is plain:
By raising cotton, corn, and cane;
By guiding ships across the main;
By selling groceries so low Hfif -aa
That not q rival dareS to crow, t9fff- - %
While customers, o steady flow, isios
Come pouring in, and, as they go,
They take bargain to their homes q l
Andt that's the way the money comes.
How does it come? Why, as it goes:
By spinning, weaving, knitting hose;
BY stitching shirts and coats for Jews,
Erecting churches, renting peWs,
And manufacturing boots and shoes.
The :. New York Grocery seems to choose
OF selling groceries so cheap that those
Who labor with head and arms and
thumbs
May save their money as it comes.
How's money saved? Why, don't you
BY visiting Main Street, ~, s-1l 500
Where Teas and Sugars, and Coffees too,
Are sold So cheap that all who go ~ - s "a /.
May receive the benefit of the late decline
In all kinds of goods in the grocery line; .
By going where you'll not get shaved =
And that's the way the moneys saved. as-s

THE STATE

The Thanksgiving offerings in Lewiston
were laid on the altar of Hymen. The Journal
says the number of marriages on that day was
unprecedentedly large.
The Lewiston Journal states that a knife
and some piteh-pine kindlings were found near
the site of the buildings of Mr.. John Haley, in
Auburn, which were burned last week.
Mr. Edmund Smith of Norridgewock, has
left in the Office of the skowhegan Clarion a
potato whichvery closely resembles the human
hand, containing four fingers and a thumb 1t
is ofa contraband color.
"A subscription has been started in Gardi
ner in aid of the Wiscasset road VIM. Brad
street heads it with $1,000, and six others have
put down $500 each.
The Bangor & Piscataquis Railway Com
pany has given notice of an application to the
Legislature to extend the time of fixing the To-
cation and building the road, and also that
provision may be made that public lands situ-
ated in Pisoataquis County, conditionally
granted to the European & North American
Railroad Company, may be granted to this
Company, under suitable restrictions; provided
that said European & North American Rail-
road Company fail to entitle themselves to the
grant.

Continue their develish work The Lewiston
journal says that on Wednesday evening Mr.
Parker, who lives in Durham was called to his
barn by noise and proceeding thither, found
the horse disemboweled and dying. 1t happen
ed that the horsebelonged to Mr. Libby a neigh
Dor, of whom Mr. P. had borrowed him that day.
Thursday evening the stable OF James Robin
son Durham was broken into, it having been
secured with a lock. The scoundrel, it seems
was frightened off by a dog before being able
to slaughter the horse which he was probably
after. r
A man attempted the same night to kill a
horse of another citizen of Durham, but dog
in this case gave the alarm, and drove the
wretch away. S |sssts Assf
The Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser says: "Among the railroad projects
which will come before the next Legislature
will be petition Of the Maine Central Rail-
road, which runs from Bangor and connects
with the Grand Trunk at Danvil]e Junction,
to be permitted to cut loose from that road and
build an independent road to Portland, or to
connect with the Portland and Kennebec at
some intermediate point. am only surprised
that the petition has not been made before, as
the disadvantages to the Maine Central road
by the present arrangement are very great 1t
is understood that the consolidation scheme of
last winter will be pushed again before the next
Legislature"
We respectfully entreat of Messrs. Walker
and Jewett, of Skowhegan, that they will have
the consideration to put less pepper into the
nextmess ofsausages that goes into Moses por-
ringer-the last were too hot for him.

Railroad Accident at Zane.yille,

sg8gss 9wttA NRW YORK, Dec, 4.
Special dispatches from Cincinnati say a
terrible accident occurred at GAINESVILLE, about
nine o'clock this morning. A large iron
bridge across the Muskingum river broke
down, carrying with it the morning passen-
ger train bound east.
Second Dispdtch.-One span of the bridge of
the Central Ohio Railroad over the Musking-
um river gave way at about nine o'clock this
morning, as the eastern bound express train
was crossing, precipitating the engine, tender,
two OF Adams express cars, one baggage and
one passenger car sixty feet to the rocky bot
tom of the river. 1t is not known yet that any
person was killed, but many were seriously
and perhaps some fatally wounded. At the
time of the accident two empty engines were
crossing on the down track. one of which es-,
capped with the loss of its tender. This train
contained the passengers from st. Louis and
Cincinnati for Baltimore and Washington, and
was the regular connection of the Baltimore
~ Ohio Railroad, by way of Bellare. The
body of A. III. CALDWELL Of Gen. Sheridan's
staff, lately deceased in New Orleans, was on
the train, but was recovered without damage.
1t is considered miraculous no person was kill
ed outright; under the latest news the, alarm

INDUCE the Legislatures in some of the States

DARING ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR.--A Concord
correspondent of the Boston Journal de-
scribes the escape from the N H. State Prison
of Mark Shinborn, the noted German burglar,
under conviction for robbing the bank in Wal
pole. In the afternoon he went to his work in
the cabinet shop with the others as usual:
At quarter to five the bell rang for the
prisoners to stop work, and they marched from
the shops to the back wall of the ward. took
their buckets and, then turned their stems to-
wards the prison. As the head of the column
was nearing the entrance, Shinborn whose mo-
sition was then, about in the middle of the
courtyard, suddenly sprang from the ranks,
ran with almost incredible speed to the soutb
entrance gate. grasped the ends of two of the
heavy planks forming the gate, which broke
like glass in his hands, jumped through the
opening as ball from a revolver struck near
his feet, and scaling a woodshed and cleaving
an adjoining yard, he was, almost in moments
time, drawn INTO covered carriage and whirl-
ed down State street with fleetness which
seemed to show that both horse and driver re-
allied the issues OF the desperate undertaking.
The prison officers had hardly time to move
from their position before Shinborn had fled
from sight. The otner prisoners We're march
ed to their cells and the Warden and his Dep
uty immediately took a horse and started in
pursuit, but the escaped convict was for the
time beyond their reach. The police were then
hoIileu anu teiegrams sent IN all directions,
which it is thought may, perhaps, be instru-
mental in arresting the Germans escape. Shin
born had plenty of confederates, and they
Were sklfnl men. Just under the heavy lower
cross-bar Of the lower section of the gate two
thick planks We're bored through and through
in one straight line with small augur, SO that
they broke of like reed in Shinborn's hands.
Inc opening thus effected in the gate was near
ly two feet square.
1t appears that Shinburne's operations
were carried on by letters, which were deposit
ed in the false bottoms of his drawer in the
workshop. They have been taken out in the
night by scaling the walls and gaining access
to the shop, and other letters left. All visitors
to The prison have the notorious characters
there pointed out to them, so that any of Shin
borns confederat $ could, as visitors, have
easily learned the position of his bench in the
shop: A reward OF $1,000 is offered for Shin
born's capture. li''

Loss OF A STEAMER.-Steamer Baltimore,
Capt. Newhall, sailed from this port last Thurs
day for Halifax, N. s., and on Saturday went
ashore on Stag Harbor, near Cape Sable, and

cargo was flour, of which there were 1,4OO bar
rels on board. 1t is supposed portion OF it
will be saved. No lives were lost.
The Baltimore was propeller of the capac-
ity of about l, 200 bbls. burthen, and was owned
by parties in New York, and chartered by the
Grand Trunk Company for regular packet
between this port and Halifax.
