The Coroner's jury in the EASTER
railroad disaster rendered the following
verdict at Revere on Sunday afternoon:
"The jury find that the persons thel
and there lying dead came to their death
through a collision of trains on the East
ern railroad, about twenty minutes pas
o'clock Oh The evening Of the Goth day
of August, near the railroad depot il
Revere. Now, the Jurors further fine
that the collision was caused by The
negligence of John S. Rowland, conductor
Of the Beverly train, upon which said
persons were, and Ashbel S. Brown
engineer Of the colliding Pullman train
The former failed to notify the latter, by
signal or otherwise, that his (the said
N wland'o) train had been delayed on the
road, after starting, about twenty minutes
and said Nowland would have known,
had he consulted his watch, that the
Pullman train was overdue by its regular
running time, when the said Rowland
reached Revere. The engineer OF the
Pullman train had an unobstructed view:
for at least half mile, Of the Beverly
train, as it stood at the depot at Revere,
directly before the collision, and could
and should have seen the tail-light Of
said train in season to avoid
the collision. The jury further find
Samuel O Lunt, depot master at Boston,
remiss in duty is not transmitting the
order of the Superintendent to the engi-
neer of the Pullman train to look out fol
trains ahead thus depriving the engineer
O; information that might have enabled
him to avoid the Beverly train. The
more remote cause but not the less certain
of the disaster, was the delay In the time
of starting the Beverly train from the
depot at Boston, said delay being oc.
casioned by the gross inadequacy of the
rolling stock necessary for the safe and
timely transit Of passengers on said road.
The jury further find that frequent delays
in the time Of starting, occasioned by
extra or excursion trains, delayed the
running of the regular trains, thus adding
to the perils of railroad travel by the
necessity of Geographic communication
with the trains of the road. The need of
appliances for the safety of
trains, risk from fire attending the use of
explosive burning fluids, want of siding
at the Saugus Branch, and the entire in
of accommodation, have failed
to receive that consideration which their
demanded. We therefore
find that the Eastern railroad corporation
are, to great extent, responsible for the
loss of life aforesaid"

WHY I TRAVEL BY THE ERIE.

1st. Because it daily runs Four First Class
Express Trains through, without change, to
New York from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dun
kirk, Suspension Bridge, Niagara Falls, Buffa-
10 and Rochester in direct connection aOith aIE
Western lines, thus affording choice of five
different routes.
3D. Because its passenger coaches, being OF
the broad gauge pattern, and over a foot wiz
der than those il use on competing lines, af~
ford the most commodious and pleasant
means of transit to and from the seaboard.
3D. Because its Drawing Room and Sleeping
Coaches are provided with all the luxuries and
conveniences of a first class dwelling, and in
splendor Of outfit rival the tabled glories OF
Belshazzar's palace.
18th. Because 1t is The Short Line from the
principal Western Cities, via Niagara Falls,
to New York and carries. the traveller through
scenery unsurpassed In variety or grandeur
by any on the American Continent, giving
him, en- route, magnificent view OF the
Grandest Natural Wonder OF the world
5th. Because it's hotels and eating saloons,
established at regular intervals along the
line, are the most spacious and the Dest con-
Quoted in the world.
9Th. Because you couldn't persuade me TO
60 by any other line.
\ 7th. Because all you have to do is to ask Tor
tickets &c via Broad Gauge Erie halfway, ana
you're always sure to find them Tor sale az
all principal ticket offices, ana at the loWeSb
current rates.

THOSE MALLARDs.-Fouro OF our Main street
clerks went out to Grass Lake week ago
Saturday for a weeks shooting among the
ducks and mud hens with which that locality
abounds. MaIlards were the especial favor
ties of our young hunters and they went for
them then and there-knoWing mallard
duck about as well as an infant XVIII amend
ment knows the Constitution of the United
States. All day long the heroes waded around
in the mud and tall grass, klaughtering the
mud-hens at fearful rate, and enjoying in
anticipation the amazed looks of their friends
in the city when they should bring in their
pile of " mallards." Torrey and Dell Trues-
dell happened 10 run across the boys while
they were banging away at the mud-hens.
One of the hunters had just sighted flock
banged away with his musket and brought
enc down, with the remark" George, amt
hill on mallards?" The joke was too good
to keep and soon leaked out on our streets.
1t isn't safe to speak of ducks when any of
the young hunters are around-they take it
a. personal remark.

A RARE TREAT. Hon. Moses E. Cheney,
the veteran Vermont Lecturer and humor.st,
will hold forth in the Methodist Church in
this city on Thursday evening of next week.
Mr.. Cheney's subject is Music" and from
personal knowledge we can say that he
handles the subject with the hands Of a mas
ter. Chicago and ST. Louis papers speak of
him in terms OF highest praise, preferring his
lectures to those Of John B. Cough. Our cit
liens should not fail to avail themselves Of
this opportunity of hearing one of the great
est humorists aud lecturers of the day. The
following notice we clip from the Chicago
T9-i6une
Moses E. Cheney, the veteran Vermont
Singing Master Iectured in Farewell Hall last
evening. For more than an hour and half
the audience were cOnvulsed with laughter at
the Quaintness of the lecturers expressions,
facial and vocal, and one lady actually went
into fit, through excessive exercise OF ner
risibe faculties. Mr.. Cheney is triple ge'
nluS-as an orator, o humorist and singer.
His stage presence is natural, his voice musl
cal, and his action admirable and inlmltable.
The sympathes of the audience were SO III
consOnance with the lecturer that they were
evidently resolved to be pleased After de-
filming music as an attribute, and distinguish
ing between heart and art music, Mr.. Cheney
illustrated how yankee Doodle" is often
sung by churcn choirs, with the Doodle ="
left out and the "Yankee " left in. He next
gave "OId Hundred as adancing jg,4n do
ing which he showed how easily cheap COM
posers get up new books, by manufacturing
various tunes out OF one melody by mere dis
arrangements. He further proved that The
classical ditty entitled -'Old Dan Tucker"
was taken from cackling hen OF the Yer
mont species, not one that "roosts on The
floor like goose " Dinainuendo, he described
as most perceptible when man comes out
of 1.-THE small end of the horn" All animals
he commended, had ears for music, except
swine, the stupid ass, the devil, and occasion
ally man. Abiding to the Puritan times.
when one metre sufficed for every psalm, and
and how, after stout resistance, other pecu-
liar metres got in, be said, if the old saints
could only look down now, and see the nu
merous metres that lnfest churches, they
would see how they had missed it when they.I
opened the door. The interest in the lecture
was unhagging, and had the weather been
other than detestable, large audience would
certainly have greeted the talented and hui
morous singing master"

HOME MADE SARDINEs Americans paw
nearly four million dollars annually to France
for sardines. heretofore there has been no
substitute for them +; but quite recently a
Brooklyn man has succeeded in preparing
fish taken from American waters, which 5ids
fair to become the rival of the choicest sar-
dimes. They are packed in tin boxes hermet-
ically sealed, and are sold at one half the cost
of sardines, under the name of "Amsrican
Fish Club" They are destined to become
very popular, both because of their delicious
flavor and chsapness, and another advantage
to DE gained will be the saving of large
amount of money to our fisheries.

GRANT AS A GENTLEMAN The article
Politics of Women" in the August num-
Der of LippjneOtt has this: The best bred
men in America are the officers of the reg
ular army and navy. They have been
and to be respectful. 1t never leaves
them, they become the most dignlried and
the most simple men in the community.
Our chief magistrate is very Conspicu-
Gus example of this. Bred o soldier,
raised by most extraordinary series Of
events to our republican throne, and hav-
ing to contend with an invincible shy
ness, it is only fair 20 say that our Presi-
dent has the best manners in the world.
Never too cordial, always sufficiently so,
never forgetting his station, and yet new
er obtruding it, it would be difficult to
find man who has committed fewer sol
ecisms, or who has made more people
happy by his unaffected and simple greet
ing than President Grant; and yet he is
a man who has probably never thought
twice on the subject of his life. His man
ners are the outcropping of training in
a school which has produced Che perfec-
ton of manners.
The WIDOW Of MAXIMTLIAN.-One sad
tragedy is coming to it's close. Galignani's
Messenger reports from the palace Of

widow of the late Macmillan of Mexico
and only sister of Leopold, H., the pres

hand. We are told that "she has frequent
periods of prostration, which sometimes
last for forty eight hours, and during
which she can take no food. Although
only thirty-one years of age,her constitu-
ton is completely broken down,aDd fears
are entertained that an existence, marked
with such terrible disasters, is approach
ing its end"
