From the BarnesviIls EaterprisAI

SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. Jacob Moore,
an aged citizen of Goshen township,
died suddenly on Thursday last, from q
stroke of spoplexy. He was eating his
supper at the time Of the attack, and
had been in good health up to that time.
He lived about four hours, but was
unable to speak.
Boy SHoT-0ne morning last week o
young man named John Starkey, re-
siding two miles east of town, was shot
through the hand. He had q loaded
pistol in one of his pockets, and while
transferring it to another, it fell on tie
bed-rail and exploded. The ball en-
tered and lodged between the first two
bones of the hand, at the base Of the
fingers.
CATTLE DRowNED.-AdI over crossing
Saltwater Creek, near Freeport, with
q lot of cattle, had three of them
drowned. The rains of last week had
swollen the creek so much that it was
hardly fordable at any point. Leather
wood aud Captina creeks were in about
the same condition, but we have not
learned Of any accident or loss resulting
therefrom.
NEW RJnRoAp.-Consider inter
est is felt in the northern part of the
county about the projected railroad
from the Ohio river to Uriehsville, on
the Panhandle lire. We believe the
idea is to leave the Central Ohio, a few
miles out of Bellaire, and pass through
st. Clairsville and Flushing. Some
money has been promised and surveyors
have started on the route. AS mere
LEGAL line, of course, the road would
not pay; but If 1t made part of the
line to connect the Baltimore and Ohio
with Toledo and the Northwest, it
would become one of the most import.
ant roads in the State, forming, perhaps,
the shortest line from Chicago to Wash
ingtoD, and thus divert considerable
travel to the Baltimore road. 1t will
pass through rich agricultural distrsct
that has hitherto been comparatively
destitute of railway facilities.
A sable gentleman came to town last
week and INDUCED freely in benzine.
Having arrived at that salubrious state
whore the devotee of Bachus thinks he
can jump store-box or clear fence at a
bound, he started home. Davenport's
high palling fence met him at the east
end of South street, and he went over it
head foremost, and his feet caught be-
tween the heads of the pallings, and he
hung there perfectly helpless. How
long he hung there, we do not know;
one young man passed him but wouldn't
help the niger down." A good sansr-
itan shortly after passed by that way
and relieved him from his dangerous
predicament, and thus deprived US of
an impressive local and the temperance
folks Of another warning"

) POLICE CouRr-The session Of tn

POLICE CoURT.-The session OF the
Police Court held yesterday was the
most interesting and more cases were
presented for o week before. That this
is not attributable to the presence OF
the Legislature we are satisfied, for there
was not case of benzine, fusil oil OF
nitro-glycerine in the lot.
John Welty is an hostler and dweller
in the Second Ward. As John rubs
down the animals entrusted to his care
with q wisp of straw, scratches their
backs with curry comb or makes thelr
coats shine as he draws his brush over
them, all the while uttsring that pecu-
liar and inevitable sound, "weesh, /"
drawing it through his teeth as though
it were full of knots, John is peaceful
and happy Dutchman. On Wednesday
cloud came over the serene sky of his
happiness. 1t came in the shape of q
fellow countrymsn. He came where
John was, and John Welty didn't welt
he, but called him q "lump" and q
"shuft," and other horrible names, all
which was against the peace and dig
nifty of the city. He was fined s. and
costs.
Margaret Mccormick was arrested on
Q charge of disorderly conduct. Is ap-
pears that Margaret had quarrel with
o he neighbor, who she saysstruck her,
whersupon she turned upon him, vindi-
Gated her rights as woman and gave
him what Paddy gave the drum-"a
good bating."-The poor fellow was
obliged to surrender at discretion, while
Margaret marched off in triumph, the
shero of the fight, with a.handful of his
hair and part of his scalp. She was
fined $40 and costs.
Wesley Hunter has been in the habit
of hauling coal for his own use from
Bridgeport without going to the trouble
of having it weighed. He claims that
as he does not sell it, it makes NO differ
ence whether it is weighed or not.
Judge Good held that whether the GOAL
is brought to the city for his own use or
for sale, under the terms of the ordi-
nance it must be weighed. For the in
fraction he would be compelled to fine
Mr.. Hunter S. and costs.

Political Notes.

The bill abolishing the ranking privilege is
"dying, dying, dying" in the Senate. The
members of that honorable body seem de.
sirous of protractiDg its agonies as long as
possible, SO that the people may not see it
giving way all at once 1t is lucky that we
have one branch of the National Legislature
that can be reached once in two years, other
wise Congress would make the whole country
amere convenience for sustaining it.
THE question of the next Governorship of
Vermont hinges almost wholly upon which
side of the mountains shall furnish the candi-
date. If the west, he will be John w. Stew
art, OF Middlebury; if the east, Frederick
Billings, of Woodstock.
GEN. James III. Butler, of Penobscot
Chairman of the Democratic State Commit
tee, will issue call on Wednesday for Dem
ocratic State Convention to be held at the
City Hall, Portland, on Tuesday, the 18th of
June.
The call Of the Republican State Commit
tee for State Convention will be found in
the Special Notice column.
MEssRs. Ella, of New Hampshire, and
other Republican members of the House who
are opposed to the immense land grant subsi-
dies for railroads, now before Congress, have
prepared protest TO be spread upon the
Journal of the House, in which they say they
are not willing to have it go to the country
that the Republican party favors the land
grabbing schemes.
