FREAKS OF A CRAZY MAN.-The Dan
ger of Relying on Ctccunastantial Evidence.
Yesterday noon, when the New York
express train for this city was between
North Haven and Wallingford stations,
the engineer saw barefooted man, in bis
shirt sleeves, dart out of the woods near
the road and place something wrapped In
a newspaper on the track. 1t was too late
to stop the train, and the pilot struck the
obstacle, which proved to be a heavy rail-
road iron bar, with great force, knocking
it fifty feet and breaking the pilot. On
arriving here word was given to the police,
and chief Chamberlain sent down officer
Cosgrove 10 investigate, having a full
description of the man, color of panta-
looms, hair, &c. He found 4 man whose
dress in every particular corresponded
with the description and whose bare foot
exactly fitted the track left by the would
be destroyer. He was brough: to this
city and committed for examination. To-
day, as the same train came along again,
the same man who placed the bar on the
track yesterday again darted out Of the
same place, and throwing his arms above
his head stood and let the engine strike
him He was badly hurt, but not killed.
He proved TO be crazy man. He says
the Lord told him to put the bar across
the rail and the train would stop; and
again, that if he stood in front of the en-
CINE it would stopsfor him. He was left
IN charge of officer Cosgrove and will be
properly taken care of by his friends. But
the evidence against that man who was
kept last night in the station house here
was enough to have sent him to State
prison for ife.--Ha1tford Times Oct. 3.

Joe Brown, the original secessionist
in Georgia, the originator of the Ander-
sonville prison. and now leader and pet
of the Radical party, gives the following
reason FOR opposing the Democratic party:
''The masses of the Democracy came
down by hundreds of thousands, with
guns in their hands and without their
aid against us, we would not have been
subdued"

Wendell Phillips, in one of his
speeches, said that the debt created by the
war would require the Iaboring man to
add two hours to his daily toll as his
contribution toward its payment. This
fact is apparent at the present time

When deeply 10 love with Miss Emily Prime,
vowed If the lady would only bs mine

She blushed her consent though the suffering las
Said never a word except you're an ass
An ass-an ass -idious teazer %
But when we we're married found to my ruth,
The stammering lady had spoken the truth
For often, in obvious dudgeon,
She'd say-if ventured to givor her jog z
In the way of reproof-you're dog dog dog
dog-a dog matte curmudgeon.''
And once when said, ''We can hardly afford
This extravagant style with our moderator board,
And hinted we ought to bc wiser,
She looked, assure ysu, exceedingly blue,--
And fretfully cried, "You're o Jew-Jew-Jew-
A very ju-dicious adviser"
Again, when it happened that wishing to shirk
Some rather unpleasant and arduous work,
begged her to go to a neighb or.
She wanted to know why made such fuss,
And saucily said, "Youre a cus-cus Gus
You we're always &C. Gus toned to labor %
Out of temper at last with the insoIent dame,
And feeling the woman was greatly to blame,
To scold me instead of caressing,
mimmcked her speech-like churl that I am

THE THREE SKATERS.

Like clouds they scud across the ice,
His hands hold hers as in vice
The moonlight strikes the back blown hair,
Of handsome Madge and Rupert Glare. ,
The ice responds beneath the steel
1t groans to feel its spurning heel
While ever with the following wind
A shadowy skater fits behind,
"Why skate we thus so far from land
Oh Rupert Glare, let 60 my hand
cannot see, cannot hear
The wind about me means with fear 7"
His hand is sitter than vice,
His touch is colder than the ice,
His face if paler than the moon, .....
That pares with light the lone lagoon
"Oh Rupert Glare, feel tracs
something awful in your face
You crush my hand-you sweep me on
Until my breath and sense are gone %
His grasp is sitter than vice,
His touch is colder than the ice
She only hears the ringing tune
of skates upon the lone lagoon.
"0h Rupert Clare sweet Rupert Claro
For Heavens mercy, hear my prayer
l could not help my heart, you know
Poor Willy Gray-he loves me 50 J"
His grip is sitter than the vice;
His lip Is bluer than the ice
While ever thrills the ringing tone
or skates along the lone lagoon,
"0h Rupert Glare where arc you eyes
The rotten ice before you lies
You bastard Lonse your hold I say
o, God Where are you, Willy Gray ~
A shriek that seemed to split the sky
A wilder light in Rupert's eye
She cannot-cannot loose that grip:
His sinewy arm is round her hip
But like an arrow on the wind
The shadowy skater scuds behind
The 1.-the ice rises to the stroke
OF steel-shod heels that seem 10 smoke.
He hurls himself upon the pair
He tears his bride from Rupert Glare
His fainting Madge, whose moist eyes say,
Alb here at last is Willy Gray.
The lovers stand with heart to heart
''No more" they cry, "no more we part !'
But still along the lone lagoon
The steel skatos ring q ghostly tune
And in the moonlight pale and cold,
The painting lovers still behold
The self-appointed sacrifice
Skating towards the rotton ice
