EXTENSIVE SwINDLING spurious draft

up tree near the residence of Mr.. Martin

prised of the fact by lad who resided with
him, could get hi, gun ready to go off. tie

Since the above was IN type We learn that
the bear was tame one which had broken

coming all other considerations, at
the time when the so -called lepub-
leans we're trembling for their ex-
istence, the men Of our party per
lled their lives for n Union which
radical traitors will not allow to be

to democratic generosity and for

II yon want men to hate you le

POLITICAL TROUBLE IN New
MEXlCO.-Ihe Legislature of New
Mexico has recently, by a vote of
three to one, adopted a resolution
caIlIngupon the President to remove
Robert b. Mitchell from his Office as
Governor of that Territory. The
official conduct of the Governor has
been the subject of investigation br
n committee appointed for that pur-
pose, and the resolution referred to
was proposed by this committee
The offences with which Governor
Mitchell is charged are various, but
the general character of them all is
his disregard of the rights of the
people aud the authority of the
Legislature. He has made illegal
appointments and removals of Off.
GERS, as the legislators claim, has
been absent from the Territory al
Washington during the whole legis-
lativc SESSION, ana has refused to
forward petitions and memorials to
Congress when requested to do so
by the people. 1.-THE charges made
by the legislative Committee of In.
vestigation, and Endorsed by large
majority of both branches of the
Legislature, are true, the Governor
has not been a model magistrate.
and, indeed. it is too often the case
that territorial Governors, not feel
ing indebted to the people over
whom they are placed for their OFF
clal positions, are more thoughtful
OF personal than public interests.

HEAVY LAND SLIDE ON THE

HEAVY LAND SLIDE ON THE
CHESHIRE RAILROAD.-A heavy
land slide occurred on "Wednesday
last on the Cheshire Railroad. in a
deep cut not far from the station at
WestmorelG nd, n. Ii. The express
freight traih bound east, and due at
Westmoreland about three o'clock
L. NJ, while running at the usual
speed, came suddenly upon an i'm
mense pile of earth ana rocks which
had fallen upon the track, making a
complete wreck of the tain, $3.50.
The engine, with heavily loaded
ears, struck with tremendous force.
and shortly after blew up tearing
the machine into thousand pieces.
The engineer, Mr.. Geo. Wright, re-
ceived such injuries from the collision
that he died soon after. The ma
chine, the " Fitzwilliam," has been
run several years, and was consid-
cred one of the best freight engines
on the road.
At Westmoreland The freight train
was to have set off upon a side track
for the mail train which leaves Bel
lows Falls at 300 to pass, This
train was fortunately a few moments
behind time-just in season to save
a terrible accident. Some of the
passengers thought tlco moments at
the most saved their lives.
A gentleman who has seen tht
wreck of several boiler explosions
says he never saw so complete a ru
in before in his life. Save the ten
der, not a piece of the engine coulC
be found his large as mans body
for sixty feet around.
The passengers and mails reached
Fitchburg about 8 O'clock at night

days to clear away the debris
