Domestic Nous.

The Portland Argus states that sometime ago
Mr. Nelson Merrill of Gorham, aged about
sixty five years, had the misfortune to fracture
his right thigh bone, near the joint by fall.
Under misapprehension of the nature of the
injury, the fractured bone was allowed to re-
main without adjustment, or setting for thirty
six days; the leg having shortened two inches.
DIR. j. NJ. Buzzell was then called, ascertained
the real nature of the injury and reduced the
fracture. The age Of the patient, the nervous
debility of the fractured limb, which had been
numb long previous to the injury, and the
time which had elapsed after the fracture and
before the bone was set interposed serious OBJ
staces in the way of bony union. After
the patient had lain in splints seventy days
however, they were taken off, and the bone
found to be firmly united. The patient is now
able to walk very well this limb being only
one half inch shorter than the other.

The Tribune correspondent says "the
members of the Conference Committee,
on the part of the Senate on the Currency
bill, will not consent to the adoption Of
the House proposition of expanding the
currency. The Finance Committee. in
considering this matter, We're a unit
against expansion. They are willing to
increase the national bank circulation to
the amount proposed in their original bill.
Unless the House will agree to this, or
some reasonable measure, the matter will
go over until December. There are a
good many Senators and members who
think it just as well that there should be
no legislation concerning this matter at
the present session, but allow the present
state OF things to continue until Congress

The Gardiner Reporter says there is very
much that is graceful and commendable in the
system named Adaptive Freemasonry. 1t
was introduced into this country in l77S, and
since that time thousands have participated in
its ceremonies. The theory of the order is
founded upon the Bible. Five prominent
female characters, illustrating as many Ma
sonic virtues, are selected, adopted and placed
under Masonic protection, and called the
Eastern Star degree. Its obligations are
based upon the honor of the female sex, and
framed upon the principles of Equality and
Justice. Those entitled to the degrees are all
Master Masons, their wives, widows, sisters
and daughters, eighteen years of age. Rev
C. c. Mason of Skowhegan, has authority to
confer the degree.

The British Colonist of Victoria in Brit
ish Columbia thus gives its opinion as to
what the British must do to keep their
foOthold ON this continent.
We regard the construction of the Cana
dian Pacific as the touchstone which is to fl
nally settle the whole question of nationality
in North America. A great opportunity is
now presented; and if the Imperial Govern
ment and the Canadian Government do not
prove equal to the occasion and step boldly
forward and fulfill their great mission in this
matter, there will only be one alternative
left-and that will be to retire from this con-
tinent. We are greatly disposed to regard
this work as the real test of national success.
Should the Dominion hesitate and succumb
before the apparent magnitude of the enter
prise which can alone give vitality and reali-
ty to the new Empire, we shall be content to
accept that as final end of the whole mates
of creating British Empire on this continent

The Centrifugal Power and the Threshing, Saw
Ing, and Other Machines.

The interest in this city in these machines,
still continues. On Saturday more than two
hundred persons came to examine the work.
ings Of the Threshing and Saving Machines,
and were entirely satisfied with their opera
tons. There is money to be made in the
manufacture and sale of these machines, and
we trust that our enterprising capitalists may
take hold and establish a mandatory here.
The following article from the Manchester
IN. H. Mirror of the 22d inst, shows what
is being done with these machines there: .
Stepping into yarney & Nichols machine
shop, yesterday, we saw an order for two
hundred threshing machines for Michigan,
from the man who bought of the Smith Broth
ers the right to use the Centrifugal Power
Motion in that State. He wanted them all as
soon as they could be goteout. One went
from that shop, the day before, to Virginia.
Orders for hundreds of others from different
parts of the country had been received, some
for samples, some for experiments, and some
from men who owned town, county or State
rights. Looking around the shop, we found
nearly all hands at work on these machines,
or savers and splitters with the same power
applied. At one corner we saw DR.. Hamilin,
the right hand man in the mechanical depart
ment of this power, busy with machinists fin
shing up model of new combinations of this
power. Models of root cutting fodder-cut-
ting machines and a cider mill have already
been sent to Washington DR.. Hamlin will
soon have it out for grist mills.
Going into s. G.. Forsaiths machine shop,
we found them turning out threshing machines
and whatever else pertains to this power Mr..
Forsaith said he could supply all that were
ordered if ordered early enough, but if wanted
in September they must be ordered soon. lie
makes all used in this State. .''-n
Going up stairs, we found ten men busy
in Sargent & McKeans woodwork establish
ment, where extension tables, counters,
desks, cases, and the like, are the chief busi-
ness, but now they are largely engaged on
the frames of the threshing, saving, and split
ting machines. They are getting them up
strong, handsome, and much improved on
former patterns. ...
We began to think that this Centrifugal
Power was spower in the land; certainly
it is in Manchester. They have made vast
improvements on the threshers and sawyers,
and are still improving. We are glad to note
the success. 4f=ts -ft<> 80
Cheap, simple power, that can be applied
to nearly all kinds of farm work, is what is
wanted and it does seem as if it was in this
discovery.
We are glad to note the success of those
who have invested in county and State rights,
and that so many of our mechanics are find
ing employment in filling orders.
|, One curious fact came to our notice. when
we asked why the machines were not made in
Michigan. The reply was that the cars COM
ing to the East from the West loaded with
grain generally had to go back empty, and
that anything that would aid the farmers of
the West would be carried back at about as

On Friday last the passenger train on the
Grand Trunk road due in Portland at halfpast
two. was thrown from the track half mile
above West Paris. The rails expanded owing
to the heat of the sun, and the locomotive was
thrown over an embankment on to its side and
badly smashed. A baggage car and and box
car were driven into each other like tele-

Warren Noyes, had his face badly bruised and
the fireman received slight injuries. The

in taking down the staging around the new
ell of the Gardiner Hotel, as we learn from
the Reporter, the whole staging went down
suddenly with a crash, taking with it Mr..

the third story upon pile of rubbish, which
buried him entirely from sight. Itwas thought
that he must be seriously injured, but soon
emerged from the debris, with but slight
