A MARROW EscApE.-Quite a serious acct
dent happened to G. B. Lord, Esq, of Alfred
Tuesday morning, as he and his wife and child
was starting with team for an excursion into
the country at the p. & R. crossing near Mr.
Blanchard's house in that town. The horse
took fright by hand-car coming up the track
at the time. Mr.. Lord jumped from the car
rage and took the horse by the head, but the
animal became unmanageable and threw Mr..
Lord under the carriage and bruised him very
much, but did not seriously injure him. The
horse turned and ran for the village with Mrs.
Lord and child in the carriage, but by her ex-
ira management Of the horse arrived safe with
out any injury to her or the team. 1t was a
narrow escape from death for Mrs. Lord and
the child. The horse after knocking down Mr..
Lord ran with the reins under his feet. Mrs.
L. put the child in the bottom of the ''sun-
shade" and it remained perfectly quiet. She
then leaned over the dasher and succeeded in
hooking up the reins by means of the crook on
the end Of her parasol and stopped the horse
after he had run about a mile.

CHEAP RAI1wAYs.-The' Stakeholder, of
New York, thinks that "half of the railway
business OF this country would be doLe as
well upon the three feet gauge railways now
well introduced in Wales, Norway, Australia,
New Zealand and other countries. as upon the
Aft. Sim, or wider, gauge roads. These mar
row roads are especially adapted for commu-
mites where the products are bulky and of
less value and the pass niger traffic light. The
State of Maine would be specially benefited
by such roads, built to connect with the pres
ent system of railways in the State or to run
to POINTS on tidewater. The three-feet gauge
roads cost about half as much to build. and
are run at half the cost of the wider gauge
roads. The transfer of freight from these to
the roads OF wider gauge could be easily made
through crates upon trucks, and from platform
cars built for the purpose. Maine, of all
States, would do well TO look to this sugees-
ton"

IT Is HISTED that after all the candidacy Of

the friendly attitude of Spain toward France

much interest children who constitute the
great majority of population every where
Interest is the first step toward Instruction.
"Unconsciously, too, this mode of celebrating
the day kindles in the youthful mind some
thing Of a martial spirit. 1t awakens pat
rotic impulse. 1t suggests tina. in defence Of
rights of independence, powder may and
should be burnt, when occasion requires. We
apprehend that no small degree of the unex-

attributable to the custom, which has been
steadfastly preserved, of celebrating the
Fourth of July by the firing of cannon and
the general explosion OF gunpowder in every
conceivable method"

With this issue the sixteenth volume otthisl
paper closes. During the existence of the
Usros DrxocRxT for sixteen years, il has
changed hands but twice and each time the
ehange was caused by the grim monster
death. The paper was established in 1854
by A. N. Francisco who continued proprietor
and Editor until his death in March 1867.
Ii was afterwards continued bv Wm. Arthur
intil his decease in October 1869. Il has
never failed during these sixteen years to
make its weekly appearance except for a
short time in 1861 in which year its material
was destroyed By ERE. II has passed through
every vicisstude tha: country paper can be
heir to. 1t has enjoyed prosperous and pro-
ftable days, well as those in which it was
difficult to raise the money to pay for the pa
per on which it was printed. At times it
has had bitter and strong competition to la
Dor with, but with each effort of enemies to
crusE it, it invariable come out on top, caus-
ing those who tried to destroy it to 60 under,
poorer if not wiser. The paper has always
been Democratic In politics but while strong
ly partizan its conductors have had the best
interests of Tuolumne County at heart and
have endeavored far as their ability and
power could do so, to advance those interests.
At present it is the only paper published in
the county and is likely to remain so for a
time. The present proprietor desireo to have
the support and confidence of the people of
the county to enable him to make it an in
teresting local paper. It's colurnns will be
opan to any citizen who wishes to write on
subjects connected with the welfare or pecu-
liar interests and needs of our locality. The
Democrat is on sound financial basis with
fair prospect before it. Hoping to be use
fui in the future. with thanks to many friends
through the past for favors shown US, we bid
farewell TO the Sixteen yeers that mark the
