EARTHQUAKES AND RAILROAD TRAvEL.-A
new disaster attendant upon earthquakes is
that of their interference with railroad
travel. In the great shake lately reported
from Eastern California, a railroad track
was INSTRUCTED by earth and rocks thrown
upon it by the CONFUSION, while in another
case train was thrown from the track.
Throughout California earthquakes very
frequently occur, at uncertain intervals,
and their effects upon travel become, there
fore, a very serious consideration.

shows that much leaf tobacco is taken
thither from Arkansas and other adjacent
States, and manufactured, with a view to
cvade federal taxation, on the thought
that neutral land is exempt by treaty from
taxation. The Internal Revenue law of
Congress, however refers to all the terri
tories. The tobacco which may be seized
will be brought into Arkansas where the
courts will settle the question of iuriS-
dictiOn. Il is not designed to seize factO-
rics, but only manufactured tobacco on
which tax has not been paid.

Financial Excitement
Wall street was excited to-day The
Long Room was crowded, the crowd
eagerly bidding for stocks, under which
prices advanced sharply. There was still
greater excitement prevailing in the Gold
Room. The fluctuations were frequent
and mainly in the upward direction. The
cause assigned for buoyancy and activity
is the prospective purchase of some of the
West India Islands, and an increase in the
volume Of currency, but there is no doubt
that the return of some prominent clique
leaders to the street is the real eXplana-
ton. The indications point to a speedy
renewal OF speculation in Wall street and
of important movements in the future.

SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERA.

At the battle Of the Wilderness. Nav,
1864, John B. Smith, Fourth Maine Infan-
try, was struck by mimic ball directly over
the bridge of the nose 1t went tearing
through the bones of the face, smashed
the bony case of the left ear at the base of
the brain, and lodged somewhere in the
back of the skull. He was picked up as
dead, but partially recovered, and last week
DIR. Sanger, of Bangor, advised of the
position of the intruder by the swelling Of
the tissues at the back of the ear, cut down
through the critical region behind the left
ear and extracted bullet embedded in the
bones of the skull, two inches from the
outer surface. Though retaining its conical
shape, it had been strangely battered and
hacked in its passage through the bone.

the store, and neither threats nor coaxing
could get him out The celebrated boy
who stood on the burning deck whence all

to this dog, who preferred death to what he
considered dishonor. He was dragged out
at last and taken to a livery stable, but he
stole back again. He was again rescued,
and again escaped, and, retreating to the
cellar, deied his pursuers to follow him.
Shortly after the building fell in with a
crash, and old dog Tray went with it.

Largs sale of Horace Greeley.

In the Circuit Court at White Plains,
Westchester county, suis was recently
decided, in which Horace Greeley figured
as plaintiff against one Moses Dudley Bean,
who, as was charged, had contrived to de-
fraud the former out of Sc, 900. It appears
that during the year 1866 the defendant
portrayed q glowing picture of African
colonization to Mr.. Greeley, the scene
whereof was laid in North Carolina, and,
to effect this much desired end, Bean ins
formed the philosopher" that a company,
with capital stock of 100000, had been
formed for the purpose of acquiring such
rich and fertile lands as were requisite for
the success of the pbilanthropic undertake
ing. The plaintiff, on these representa-
tions, advanced the sum above named on
the assurance tina. it was a profitable in
vestment, but subsequently ascertained
that the acres indicated were a part and
parcel of the Dismal Swamp. After q
short deliberation the jury rendered a ver-
dict for the plaintiff of SITS. AS the de-
fendant is said to have availed himself of
the bankrupt act, the damages will doubt
less remain in Stlltu quo.
