From Washington.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY ]

WASHINGTON, D. c., April q, 1871.
PERSONAL.
Treasurer Spinner is so much worse to-day
that there is some anxiety respecting him.
Mr.. Corcoran, the wealthy banker, is in a criti-
cal condition, though the doctors say he is
slightly improved.
James NJ Mason, ex-confederate minister to
England, is ill at Alexandria, Va, and is not
expected to live through the night,
MR.. BOUTWELL, AND MR.. PLEAsANToN.
1t is curious fact that those western republic
cans who dislike Mr.. Boutwelps sales of gold
and purchases of bonds, zealously support him
in his attitude toward the income tax, and they
condemn Commissioner Pleasanton for his in
efficient attempts to collect the tax. If there
had been time in the recent session, a resolution
would have been presented censuring Commits
Sioner Pleasanton for his conduct. Some of the
ablest members of the senate and house COM
planned bitterly of the effrontery of Mr.. Pleas
anton, in trying to break down a tax he dis
liked, by neglecting to collect it vigorously.
MORE CABINET GOSSIP.
The stories of cabinet changes have died away
will soon survive again. The sensation rumors
of last week, which were generally discredited,
had considerable foundation. 1t is known that
the president has stated at different times to prom
inent republicans, that he did not fully approve
of Mr.. Boutwell's policy in purchasing govern
ment bonds, or Of his constant recommendations
in favor of continuing the income tax. The
statements have given rise to some of the rumors
of Mr. BoutwelPs purpose to retire from the
cabinet. SAM WELLER.

MASSACHUSETTS,.
BOSTON, April 2T.--The wife of Rev. Thomas
Hill, of South Dedham, drowned herself In
pond, in that town, yesterday while temporarily
deranged. She was worthy Christian wife
and mother.
The joint legislative committee on the Hoosac
tunnel and the Troy and Greenfield railroad
have voted to report a resolve, appropriating
100000 to build railroad from the west portal
of the tunnel to North Adams, to connect at
the depot there with the Troy and Boston rail
road.
MAINE.
BANGOR, April q A house on Spring street,
owned by Francis Gibbs and occupied by John
Benton and Mrs Mary W. Blowers, was burned
this morning. Most of the furniture was saved
Loss on the house, $780, no insurance.
A vote is being taken to-day upon loaning the
credit of the city to the Winterport and the
Bangor and Pscataquis railroads to the amount
of $4,000 per mile. The appearance at noon
indicates that the loans will be voted.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
CONCORD, April 27-Jerome Bickford, engi-
gineer Of the stationary engine at the Northern
railroad shop while setting it in operation this
afternoon, little past one o'clock, and Oiling
up, was caught by sett screw on the main
shaft, and thinks he was carried round nearly
one hundred revolutions. One Of the employees
saw him struggling and stopped the engine. He
was taken out badly If not fatally injured inter-
gical assistance was called. His clothing was
almost entirely stripped off, and his beard on
one side Of the face pull d out. His weight is
nearly two hundred pounds. Some years since,
while locomotive engineer, he received a severe
confusion on the head while putting it out
cab window passing bridge.
MT. WASHINGTON, April T-Two remarka-
BILE atmospheric phenomena were seen to-day
The first was well defined shadow of Mt
Washington at sunrise, apparently twice as huge
as Lafayette, near which it was situated. 1t
looked like black cloud, having the exact shape
of the mountain. The second was a solar halo,
exhibiting all the coors of the prism, about
noon. These phenomena are rare, and were
highly appreciated by those of us who had never
seen them before. A friend has sent us some
spring flowers, which are the first of the season
here. c. H. HITCHCOCK.
