New STEAMER.-It will he remembered that
We stated some time ago that new steamer
was expected shortly to take the place of the
Lighthouse steamer 'Iris," that vessel not be-
ing considered large enough for the business
nor exactly suited to it. Yesterday Captain
johnson arrived at this port with the steamer
Cactus" from New York, the "Iris" having
been left at that city. The Cactus is beau
tiful craft of 250 tons burden, 139 feet long and
5 feet draft. She has been gently rebuilt by
the government at an expense of $4,000 and
is fitted up with donkey engine forward
worked from the deck. All her internal ar
rangements are excellent, and she is provided
with commodious staterooms, dining-room, ETC.
The Cactus brought with her the pretty little
steam LAUGH MARY" for the accommodation of
Gen. Duane, and to be used for harbor service.

SHOCKING ACCIDENTAL Boy RUN OVER
BY RAILROAD TRAIN.-Last evening about
five o'clock, after the inward train on the
Portland & Rochester railroad had discharged
its passengers in the depot it was backed ont to
be made up for morning. As it got out of the
building, lad named Walter Mace, aged eight
yers, got upon the passenger car, but was put
off by the brakeman. When the baggage car
came along he attempted to get upon that, be-
tween it and the tender, but fell on the track
and the tender and engine ran over both legs,
cutting them off between the knee and hip,
and severing an arm. He was at once taken to
his home, on Lincoln street, Opposite the de-
pot, and DR.. Gordon sent for. The lad is a
son of Mr.. John Mace, baggage master on the
Portland & Kennebec road, who was on his
way to Bangor when the accident happened.
The depot master and station men have been
much annoyed by boys who persist in playing
around the depot grounds and jumping on and
| Oft cars when in motion. We hope this terri
BILE accident will be warning to them to de-
sst from such actions in future.
| P. S.-The lad died about nine o'clock last
evening. DR.. Gordon having amputated both
legs and his arm. An inquest will be held
at nine o'clock this morning by Coroner g. H.
