The station master and the conductor of the
accommodation train claim that the red light
was at the mast head, and the two signal Ian
terms at the rear of the train, to keep back, and
this statement is corroborated by numbers of
people living in the vicinity who say the lights
we're plainly perceivable half mile down the
track. The engineer and fireman both claim
however, that the weather was so thick that
they could not see them, and they supposed
the way was clear. The engineer leaped from
the train at the same time with the fireman.

Eel Vino CataIina.-The announcement

that has been so generally heralded throughout
the country that an American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated Wine
Tonic is matter Of no small Importance, and
will be hailed with joy by all those seeking q
pure and invigoratlng tonic; also, those VINO
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stlmuant
will find in the El Vino Catalina, or Browns
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. 1t will
be renielnb ered that importations were made in
1866 Of this noted brand, but in consequence of
the nigh duty then demanded by this govern
ment the enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t is the
oldest tonic in the world and doubtless the most
invlgoratlng, the purest and best, and if impor-
tation continues at the rates now started, it will
take its p ace in every family in this as we'll rs
in the old countries. It's merits will make it 4
household article, and We hope that every one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic, will ~ least try one bottle Of the Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the puro
juice Of the Catal lima grape, with Calisaya and
tic spices Of Ceylon, or bitters made of COM
mon whiskcy and bitter field herbs This is an
inval Bile preparation for weakness nCd debili-
ty; it relieves morning lnnguor and gives fresh
reaction.

er with all the State authorities and several
other cheftalns
Their combined forces are said to be march
ing on Commargo and Matamoras with the

IS expected this movement will be seconded by
the neighboring States aud that the revolution
will become general General Porfrio Diaz

those who should pronounce against the Juarez

Nevertheless, tie merchants feel very anxious
about coming events Generals Palairo and
Cortina have issued proclamation to the SOL
diers under their respective commands and to
the citizens of the frontier in general to stand
and fight for the Juarcz government. Great
preparations are being made in Matamoras, for
the defence OF the city if attacked and ali the
cavalry has left for the front. The telegraph
is only working as far as Mere and no further
news is reported at this hour. Great excite
nent is reported from all parts Of Mexico on
