AccIDENT.-Yesterday noon, as Miss Par
fridge, lady aged about % years. was leaving
the tailoring establishment of Messrs. Prince q
Wiswell, 1l3 Federal street, where she was
employed, her foot slipped on the top starr OF
the long flight leading down to the street. AS
she fell she threw out a hand to save herself, so
that she fell on her side and rolled over and
over down the stairs till she reached the street,
When taken up she complained of her left side
and it was feared she was badly injured. She
insisted, however, on going home to her family
in Gardiner, and carriage was procured, and
she was taken to the p. & K. depot, where she
took the train. She was quite fieshy weigh
ing some 100 pounds.

PORTLAND THEATRE.--The public must not

Portland Theatre tonight by tie star compa-
ny from the Adelphi Theatre, Boston. If the
promises of the advertisement are fulfilled, our
readers who attend the Theatre tonight will
no doubt witness one of the best variety COM
panies now in existence. Mr.. Butler, as the
clown, is said to be immense; while the other
members of the company are claimed to have
no superiOrs in their respective lines of bust
ness. By an accident the tickets were mslaid
yesterday. so that many who sought the box
office to secure them were disappointed, but
we are assured all will be right to-day. We
would advise the precaution of securing seats
in advance, as the manager makes it a rule to
sell no more tickets than the sitting capacity
of the house will accommodate.

AN EXCITING INCIDENT occurred at the Man
haitian Club, New York, on Friday evening
Mr.. H. L. Bateman, the well known operate
time, committed the mistake few nights ago
OF inviting some guests to dine in room which
is reserved exclusively for members of the club.
Mr. Bateman being unconscious of this reser-
walton, was only made aware of it after the
party were seated at the table, and dinner had
been ordered, by the abrupt announcement of
Mr.. Hiram Cranstan, member of the House
Committee, that he could not be served
Deeply indignant at the manner in which the
intelligence was conveyed, and smarting un
der the insult not only to himself but to those
whom he had invited, he sought an explana-
ton from Mr.. Cranston, but was repulsed with
the extraordinary insinuation, that, in violat-
ing club regulation, he had proved himself
no gentleman, and was not entitled to the con-
sideration of gentleman. Mr.. Bateman, OIL
the 9th ult. addressed a note to Mr.. Cranston,
in which he admitted that he may have uncon-
sciously violated some rule of the club, having
been member but a short time; but had he
been informed of any breach of law in a gen.
tlemanly manner, he wonld have accepted and
obeyed the admonition; but Mr.. Cranston bay
ing ordered the steward to refuse without ex-
PLANTATION to serve dinner to him and his friends
in the presence of other gentlemen, thereby Of
fered an insult to himself and the friends he
had with him. He closed with the demand for
an apology. Mr.. Cranston returned an evasve
and unsatisfactory reply to the demand; and
Mr.. Bateman made a second demand for an
immediate and unconditiona apology. Mr..
Cranston declined to receive the second note !;
whereupon Mr.. Bateman proceeded alone to
the Manhattan Club, and finding Cranston at
dinner in the restaurant with party of friends,
informed him that he (Cranston) had declined
to explain, apologize or receive his note and
only one course was LETT him. Bateman then
struck Bateman slight blow in the face and
then quietly withdrew from the room. Gran
wants in every direction for them, but none
could be found, and Mr.. Bateman departed,
evidently satisfied with his mode of settling
the sil'y affair."

INDIGNANT DENIAL OF MALICIOUS SCHEME.
New YORK, Jan. 2.-Don Miguel ALBANIA,
the President of the Cuban Junta in this city,
has communicated the following:
The Cuban Junta of this city have read with
the utmost Indignation the telegram forwarded
10 the Associated Press from Havana under
date of yesterday, stating that the editors of
the Havana journals affirm that they have
seen circular signed by the members of this
Junta, ordering Cubans to lay down their
arms Taken in connection with the reports
industrously circulated of late, both in Ha-
vana aud this country, that the patriots are
presenting themselves in large numbers to the
Spanish authorities for pardon the above
news shows deep laid and INSCRIPTIONS
scheme to pervert public opinion respecting
the progress of our revolution. hereby de-
nounce the circular referred to, If any such
exists, as an absurd and malicious forgery; for
SO far from the Junta being in the slightest de-
gree inclined to induce the Cuban liberals to
give up the contest, we are continuing our
most strenuous efforts in aid of the revolution,
and are every day more confident of success,
with or without the support OF foreign nations
This, according to the latest intelligence we
have from the seat of war, which reaches up to
the 7th of December last, is also the spirit
which prevails among the Cubans. These sto-
authorities never have circulated before with
as little foundation as now, and without secur-
ing the desired result.
have to-day sent the following telegram to
the Havana Diario de la Marina, the Prensa
and the Vose de Cuba, as well as to the agent of
the Associated Press in that city: s'The state
ment that the Central Cuban Juuta hasIssu-
ed circular enjoining the Cubans to lay down
their arms is false. 1t is an infamous inven-
tion''
This telegram will be published tomorrow

A THEATRICAL INCIDENT.-The following in
cident at the Grand Opera House in New York
Friday evening, caused considerable sensation
among the audience:
Lingard and his wife have recently figured
in the courts to some extent, in consequence OF
threats of violence from Lingard, but they have
postponement. Last evening Mr.. Lingard ap-
peared very much depressed, , and in the play
of Pluto, in the scene where a lady represent
ing Proserpne gave him pasteboard pass
from the Internal regions for his wife he be-
came very much excited. just as Mrs. Lin
gard began the song of Fare Thee Well, Love, y
he flung aside all restraint and catching her in
his arms kissed her again and again. With
some difficulty she broke from his embrace and
rushed behind the scenes, leaving her husband
pale and almost fainting. Delighted with this
outburst Of apparently genuine affection, the
audience approved Of it by thunders of APP
plause. Lingard being called out, said: "I4a-
dies and gentlemen, I thank you for your good
nicely now, and desire to commence New
Year well, and to be better for the future

This road runs through the richest and most
thickly settled portion of this magnificent
State, and is the only link wanting to connect
st. Louis and ST. Paul by direct line, LAT
miles shorter than any other.

ern Iowa to the North where coal is indispen-
sable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute Of this prime necessity.
IT DOES NOT RUN THROUGH WILDERNESS
where it would wait for years for population
to give it business, but through tier of coun-
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which is freight
for railroads.
Forty-five miles are Just diminished, and the
Superintendent reports that on the portion
opon TOR business the net earnings are more
than the interest liabilities.
Sixty miles more are graded, and million
and half of dollars have already been expend.
ed on the work.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate Of SIG, 600 per mile, OR only half the
amount upon some other roads. Special secu-
rity is provided for the principal and for the
payment of interest.
| First mortgages upon most railroads are the
very safest investments, and so far as we can
learn, there is not single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its in
| terest, but good dividend upon its stock.
The immense grain and other freights to be
| carried away, and the domestic supplies to be
| brought in, ensure profitable business.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
| upon a road running through such rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as well as very
