TRIED TO WRECK A PASSENGER TRAIN.-The
passenger train which went North on the
New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern
railroad on Monday night last came very
near meeting with most shocking accident,
about two O'Clock, at Richs Mills, near
Tangipahea station, seventy-eight miles
from the city. 1t appears that Adam Pow
ers, who has since been arrested and is now
confined in the Parish Prison in this city,
had spite against an engineer named
White, who, it was known by bin, was to
come up on the engine. Powers, it is stated,
accordingly took Two crossties, and putting
one ON the other fastened them on the track
near cnlvert, by placing two other ties in
the ground perpendicularly at each end of
those across the track. The engineer, how.
ever, saw them in time to partially check
his train, bnt the engine struck
the obstruction with sufficient force
to break the ties used as braces
to the horizontal ties. The train, however,
was not thrown from the track, but was
Immediately stopped and search made for
the perpetrator of the mischief. He was
1ounu oehluu oOLuc AulHper watching Tue
effects of his crime. He was secured and
lodged in the county Jail until the train
returned, when he was brought to the city.
The officers of the train think there can be
no doubt as to Adam being the guilty party,
as he is reported to have told several stories
about the matter. Circumstances are also
very strong against him.
If this man Powers is really proved guilty
the full extent of the law should be inflicted
upon him, as by the premeditated acts of
the eonceiyer of this crime it was his inten.
ton to wreck the train, and that, too, in a
place where it would be thrown from
bridge about twenty feet high.

THE Notwithstanding during the TWEEN
ty-ninth ultimo a small difficulty occurred
at the corner of Washington and Annunci-
alton streets, in which, it is charged,
Samuel W. Dalton cut and wounded one
Brinika, the consequence being that Bri-
nika was laid up and supposed to be in a
critical condition. Dalton was not arrested
until Wednesday night, when Special Dumas
pulled him. One Poelman, calling himself
physician attended the wounded man,
and yesterday gave Recorder Jackson a
certificate, singularly compounded, to the
effect that Brinika is in 'pricticile cir.

PROGRESS IN CUsToMHoUsE REGULATIONS.
The Treasurer, upon recommendation of
Acting Collector Stockdale, has perfected
arrangements whereby bulky merchandise,
such as sugar, molasses, salt, and iron, i'm.
ported for interior ports and entered for
warehouse and transportation, may be for
warded with greater facility than hereto
fore. 1t has been the practice to weigh and
inspect an entire invoice before any portion
of it could be shipped, thereby necessitat-
ing very heavy expenses in drayage and
warehouse charges; whereas, now por tons
of cargo may be hauled away and re
shipped without waiting for the inspection
OF the whole.
This arrangement will doubtless cause the
Western merchants to import vast quanti-
ties of merchandise, that now seeks other
channels, through New Orleans.

PASSING COUNTERFEIT Acknowledgment
Cain, who keeps a grocery in Toulouse
street, No. III, charged Mary Bingaman
before United States Commissioner Warren
with passing fifty dollar counterfeit bill
upon her on the fifteenth July last. On
being arrested Mary made affidavit against
Florence Dickinson, charging her with the
same offense; and Florence in turn charged
the offense upon Mary Wilkinson. The
parties all being before the Commissioner,
upon the evidence adduced Mary Bingaman
was paroled to appear on Saturday, August
eighth instant, she being supposed the dupe
of the others, who were put under bonds to
appear at the same time. The counterfeit
bill in question is remarkably well eX-
ecuted.

A MODEL SCHOOL TEAcHER.-Mrs. Muir
ply, who keeps private school on st. Pc
ter street, was brought to the Second Dis
trict stationhouse yesterday morning in
paris ndturalibus. She having made the &C.
quaintance of John Barleycorn, and be-
ing unable to resist his direful infiu.
ence, followed the advice of her instincts
and undertook to teach the neighborhood
how to raise a disturbance. In other
words, she forgot her responsible du.
ties. INDUCED in a real oldfashioned bender,
AID furiously threw her tongue around
her mouth, making certain articula.
tions unfit for the ears of parents,
much less children. Officer Caller hearing
the fracas volunteered his services to act as
an escort to her on tour of inspection to
the Second District stationhouse, but Mrs.
Murphy was not prepared for the excursion,
and fatty refused to go. Thereupon the
officer, unlike most cavaliers, insisted on
her accompanying him, but she planted
herself like a pillar of stone to the side
walk. The officer still pleaded his case. but
go she would not. Finally, with the assist
ance of a colleague, she was very unceremo-
niously sculled into the presence of the
clerk of the stationhouse quite naked, the
officers in the difficulty having bereft her
of clothing. Her case was called in
court yesterday, but Recorder Gastinel, not
wishing to treat the expectant crowd to
such scene as nature might present by ex-
posing her to vulgar gaze, permitted her to
sit in secluded corner during examination.
In order to prevent further embarrassment
of similar nature she was sent thirty days
to the City Hotel, better known as the
Parish Prison,

SEVERAL CoRRECTIoNs.-0tfice Taylor, of
the Second District police, assures our re-
porter that he was in error in stating that
he drank with John IRENE, or gave toast
to Grant. The parties did not drink TO
gether, nor was there any discussion about
Grant and Seymour between them. IRENE
was not put under bonds to keep the peace
for six months, but held for examination on
the charge of assault and battery with in
tent to kill Officer Taylor.

Ia,,e,,.b,e Case.

A young man about seventeen or
eighteen years of age, of respectable
parentage," who had been tr:fing with
the strength of lager beer OF Friday
last fell victim to its influences. In
this condition he set full sail and
launched himself out on Market street,
amid the giddy world of fashion, and
slashed himself about as awkwardly az
a flatboat in a storm at sea. Suddenly
he was tossed against lamp-pest, next
a fire-plug and then q bevy OF females
who evinced strosg disposition te
keep out of the way, but his craft was
so unmanageable that whichever way
they went so went he. This continued
for three or four minutes, when it is sup
posed he became dizzy from being tossed
about so much, and in order to recover
himself he made q desperate attempt tC
catch the pavement, in which he sue
ceeded and "froze" to it until rescued
/ BY police officer. The result was thai
he was brought before Judge Good OF

Thrown from his Horse. s-s.
Several days ago while gentleman
was sitting upon his horse apparently
waiting for the'train on the Pan Han
die railroad, near Steubenville, to pass
him, his horse took fright and threw
him off. He was so unfortunate at the
time as to be right in a deep cut of mud,
and when he emerged frsm the place
where his horse had deposited him he
presented the appearance of the famous
picture of the mud fence. He was not
hurt. The horse continued on in front
of the locomotive for over mile and q
half, when he came to cross road
whore he took Of. and left the loeomo-
tive clear track. We did not learn
the name of the gentleman.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Association took place on Saturday last
in the First Branch Council Chamber.
The President called the meeting to
order, the roll of members was called,
and the minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved.
The meeting was largely attended by
the teachers of the city, and others.
Mr.. McMecheu, chairman of the Ex-
ecutive committee, announced that
Miss Matte MeKelvey had been chosen
to read an essay on this occasion, and
that Prof. White, State Superintendent,
and Prof. Russell, of Moundsville Union
School, had been invited to address the
Association.
Miss McKelvey proceeded to read an
interesting essay, entitled "The lntiu-
ence of Literature on the Minds of the
People"
Prof Russell delivered an address, OF
rather a lecture, upon the subject OF
atmospheric electricity, advancing some
rather novel ideas, peculiarly his own,
His lee ure was not without points OF
interest, and his theory is entitled to
investigation.
Superintendent White delivered a
very entertaining and instructive adj
dress upon the advantages of ora
teaching. While he would not dispense
entirely with textbooks in our schools
he would have both teachers and pupils
less dependent upon them. He believed
the oral to be the philosophic method o.
imparting instruction,
A vote Of thanks was rendered tc
Miss McKelvey and to Professors White
and Russell.
i 1t was stated that Messrs. Hitchcock
and Dow had offered their rooms fol
