40 TIE Editor Of the Presst Il La. sl4. b
| IN an editorial item in Mondays Press, re.
'oh,ns 70 the discontinuance of the 6.45 q. IN
| w Dos'onl and p. m. (from Boston) mails
you aSA shere cannot be some relief from the
inconvenience, arising from the leaving of the
last tram from Boston at D. m and suggest
6 p. m. instead OF p. m; you also ask, "Wbat
material difference would it make to the East
ern Railroad Company" A little information
on the subject may not be amiss.
d Under the new arrangement which has been
made solely to accommodate Portland and the
Maine people, the extra expense is principally
borne by the p s. & p. road. The Eastern
road cannot enter into any arrangement in re-
gard to new trains, or alterations of the run
ming of old ones without the consent Of the
Boston & Maine. They have had for some
time such an agreement, and last spring, after
the great "muss" about low fares and competi-
tim between the Eastern and Boston & Maine,
they came to a still better understanding, COW
ering among other things this very thing Of
additional trains. So then, the people of Port
Iahd and Maine generally are indebted to the
Boston q Maine as well as the Eastern, for the
new train, as both run to South Berwick to
connect with the p. s. & P. as usual.
The new arrangement being made to benefit
this end OF the route alone, it will not paw to
put ON train from Boston especially for this
purpose, and SO the Eastern have extended
their p. m. train which has until now run to
Portsmouth (arriving at 8 p. m.) to South Ber-
wick, and the Boston & Maine have extended
their 3 p, m. train which has until now, run to
Great Falls (arriving at 7.56 PM to South
Berwick also-the p. s. & p. only running an
entirely new train to Portland. IA
There is train that leaves Boston at CLIO
over the Eastern road TOR Newburyport arriv-
ing at the latter place at 75O p, m. and also one
that leaves Boston over the Portland & Maine
road at s p. m. for Haverhill, arriving at the
latter place at 7.27 p. m. -a
1t might at first glance be supposed that
these trains could be extended to South Ber-
wick and thus ensure the connections with the
New York mails and passengers, but for the
same reason that special train through wOnld
not pay, new one each from Newburyport
via Eastern road and Haverhill via Boston &
Maine road, would not pay. -les
The superintendents Of the Eastern, Boston
& Maine and p s. & p. roads, Messrs l. Pres
colt, William Merrill and Francis Chase, are
deserving of great credit for their efforts to ac
commodate the public, and we think for the
reasons given above the present arrangement
is all that can be expected. b.

ANEW ooMEDY OF ERRoRs.-The Worees-
ter Spy reports an amusing scene which oc-
CURED in the police court of that city few
days ago. An Englshman was arraioned bv
a woman who declared that he married her in
the old country eight years ago under another
name than that which ie now bears; that four
years ago he deserted her and their ehildron,
came to this country and married another
woman; and that he ought to be compelled to
support her and his offspring. She said that
she perfectly identified him, and at her sug-
gestion he was examined and found to bear
mark over the right hip the existence of which
she made known. Her testimony was strong
y corroborated by other witnesses who had
known him in England. But the prisoner
amrmed that he had never seen the woman be-
FORE IN MS lie. He was sustained in his state
ments by other witnesses who were also well
acquainted with him in England. The Spy
says that all parties appear equally honest and
candid, aud are equally certain in their state
ments. Their hackers, too, are equaily posi-
tive. The discussion of the case between the
unlucky fellow and his newly arrived wife
was quite amusing, and the interview between
the two wives was somewhat pathetic, while
the declarations of the friends OF each served
only to aid in mixing the matter more gener-
ally. The case is still pending, and each party
promises to bring more evidence which will
settle the question as to which of the two Dro-
mos Brown really is. .u,

PRAYERS OF THE ACES, Compiled by Caroline
8. Whitmarsh. Boston: Ticknor & Fields.
This beautiful volume forms a sort OF prose
companion to the "Hymns of the Ages" issu-
ed year or two ago. The selections, which
are made with care, taste, and fe. ling, are
drawn from a very great variety of sources,
Pagan and Christian. The Sanscrit and Per-
sian literatures, ancient Christian collects and
Catholic manuals, the writings of Epictetus
and Marcus Aurelius, the confessions of St.
Augustine, and the memoirs and private dia-
ries of men and women who were great in
goodness;-as Fenelon, Madame Guyon, Ar
the countless saints and martyrs of the Rom
ish Church, have all been made to coptribute
to this treasury of the heavenward aspirations
of all ages. The collection OF Heathen and
Mohammedan prayers is at once acurious and
valuable portion of the book and the sweet
ness and tone of true spiritual devotion in
many of these petitions will be a surprise TO
some readers. The aim of the editor has been
ito show how the great healers and helpers of
the world have prayed" She says in the pre-
face: "The prayers are given without altera-
tions-except in very few instances with
some necessary abridgement. A religious
rather than a literary genius has been my test

THE New York Commercial Advertiser has
mourniul article ON Depression in New
England" 1t says that mechanics are out of
employment, that there is no demand for the
peculiar products of New England manufac-
lures, and that there is consequent depres-
sion in that branch of business. 1t attributes
these results to the weight of the national
debt, and to the repeal OF the Reciprocity
treaty. On the last point there is great reason
to believe that the Advertiser is right, and the
New England Congressmen could do their
constituents no better service than to secure
the restoration of that treaty, with some equit-
able notifications. But Mr., Weed is entirely
wrong in supposing that the depression is so
serious as represented. 1t is not quite true
that "the Maine ship yards are nearly all idle,
as any one may see who rs ads the local papers,
published in Washington, Hancock, Knox,
and Sagadahoc counties. -.

before the election, that the freedmen would
get 'bushwacked" on the road to Clayto
