bitter experience of the American people than
that the telegraph service il much poorer

tiors don't consolidate and combine for the pur-
pose Of giving better service and lower rates to
the public, and the Western Onion Company is
no exception ID it, as every body knows.

There has been something said of the diff &.
Guilty to be experienced by the Germans in
maintaining long line Of communications with
Pars, but really that line is considerably shorter
than that maintained by our armies more than
once during the rebellion. The Garmans have
constructed railroad from a point north of
Metz 70 Pont-a.Mousson, on the roaI to Paris.
by which they have direct Communication be-
tween their country and Nancy, which is their
great entrepot for receiving and distributing
supplies. BY the aid Of this road the German
line OF communication with Paris is reduced to
about 20 miles, line shorter by 80 miles than
tdat maintained intact by sherman between
Atlanta and Nashville, when he was before the
former city; not TO mention the distance be-
tween Nashville and Louisville, which had to be
guarded.

The New York Tribune in view of the pros

that the republican State committee shall re-
Iuoiste the nomination of Mr.. O'NeiIl, and put

ist." The main fear of the Tribune Is that the
democrats will succeed in electing an anti-tariff
man But IL will be rather a dangerous pre-
cedent for State committee TO undertake to
put aside a regular nomination. and the proba-
bility is that Mr.. O'Neill will be permitted to
take his chances for election, unless he has the
good sense TO withdraw voluntarily

The New York Tribune very truthfully saws
I" there never will be any safety in taking medi-
cine until some careless druggists clerk re-
ceiyes exemplary punishment for the murder he
may have committed"
By the same token there will never be any
safety for the public at large until some person
is promptly and effectually hanged for indulg-
ing in the playful pastime OF pointing and snap
ping loaded muskets and pistols at unoffendng
friends. More lives are sacrificed in this way
than through careless and ignorant druggists
clerks.

METEORIC EXPLOSION.

Worcester county, Mass, is considerably
excited over meteoric explosion which took
place therein last Sunday morning. The
Worcester Spy says it was even set down as
another earthquake by many of the residents
of Hampden county. The shock occasioned
BY the explosion was felt very generally at
fifteen minutes before seven o'clock Sun
day by the people of Brookfeld, North
Brookfeld, West Brookfeld, Warren, New
Braintree, Hardwick and several other towns
in that vicinity. In New Braintree and
North and West Brookields the explosion
was so perseptible that it shook the farm
houses as if some member of the family iii
chamber had jumped suddenly out of bed /;
and those who were so fortunate as to get
sight at the uncommon spectacle describe it
as looking as large as the moon at full, before
it burst with loud report, and left train of
smoke in the sky. The meteoric remains are
claimed by several towns, but the majority
Of those who saw it agree that either the north
ern portion of West Brookfeld or the town
Of New Braintree is the landing place Of the
brilliant visitor to earth
A correspondent describes the meteor as
follows cit was apparently as large as the
sun at his rising, and springng from the Dip
per, it described an arc from northeast to
southwest, at an angle of rs degrees above
the horizon. Its color is described as that Of
iron at white heat, with vivid vari-colored
scintillations, and leaving in its wake a lumin-
Gus train about three or four degrees in width,
which remained for some fifteen seconds. Its
brilliancy was especially astonishing, as the
sun was some ways above the horizon. 1t ex-
ploded finally in q sharp defamation, scatter
ing its brilliant fragments in all directions,
each of which also burst in rapid sue
cession. Its smoke hung like cloud for
several seconds more, emitting flashes Of
light, and then gradually faded into air. The
most singular feature of this phenomenon wa:
its physical effect in producing heavy, dis.
tinct rumbling, like distant rockblast, oil
echoed cannon shot, which was heard more
plainly in houses than without"

Supreme Judicial Court,

No case being ready for trial on the civil
docket yesterday, the court took up State vs.
John Mcnamara, an indictment found at the
last term for keeping disorderly house, re-
sorted to by evil disposed persons, for the
purpose of drinking, tipping, cursing
swearing and quarreling." The Judge charged
the jury that there must be evidence to sus-
tain the indictment in all these particulars
otherwise they must acquit. And there being
no proof of quarreling, the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty. J. Baker for deft W.
P. Whitehouse, Co. Atty. The case was
submitted without argument.

One of our correspondents the other day
visited the Steam-m mill of Messrs. Sprague
Sturgis in Pttston. 1t is undoubtedly the
best constructed establishment of the kind in
the State, having machinery with all the
latest improvements. About sixty men are
cmployed and the amount of long lumber
sawed each day approxmates $4,000 feet
clapboards, 1000; shingles, 10000; laths,
10000 broom handles, 1000, -besides other
kinds. All of the saw-dust is conveyed on
belts from the saws into a miniature car,
thence into dump car, where it is taken di-
rectly to vessels the saw-dust amounts to
about 500 per week. Instead of the ola
way of filing saws there is a shop with full
set of running stones for grinding; the man
in charge of this grinds down very large
tooth, on circular saw, TO the proper
shape, in less than one minute; he informed
our correspondent that this one tooth alone
would have spoilt three good saw files and
taken more than an hour to have brought the
tooth into shape. The firm also cut all the
files that are used about the establishment, by
chemical process.

1t may be interesting to our Augusta read
ers to learn that the prineely Boston MillineI
Mrs. Oliver P. Flynt, who lately sued Mr..
Collridge of that city for bill run up against
his wife for dresses to the amount of Sl913,00,
is an Augusta lady, formerly residing in the
house on Court street hill next above the rail
road machine shop, and who commenced her
business as millincr as poor girl in this
city some fifteen years ago. She Subsequent
ly transferred her establishment to Boston,
where she has become the queenly milliner
and dressmaker OF that metropolis, and is now
worth eighty thousand dollars We learn from
this what smart Kennebec girl can do. She
is the estimable daughter of the late Benz
Gilbert, Esq. and is sister of j. II. Gill
broth, Esq, of Kendall's Mills, the owner OF
the celebrated .'Gilbreth Knox" horse, and
of other equines of royal blood. Her hus-
band is the son of a. Flynt Of Winthrop, a
respectable shoe manufacturer Of that village.
