gers.
From the New York Herald
About four o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing, as the Chicago express train was thun.
| dering along between Utica and Rome al
the rate OF forty miles an hour, a most
strange case OF somnambulism occurred
A young man named William NJ Walton,
OF kingston. Ulster county, in company
with Deputy Sheriff Kerr, left that place on
Tuesday morning, on their way to Albany
in pursuit of a fugitive from justice. Ar
irving at Albany, they learned that the man
for whom they were in search had left the
city, and had gone to the break ON the Erie
canal, at Ok Bow.
They then took passage on the ll:40 =. NJ
train, and soon both fell asleep. Between
Utica and Rome, Walton had strange
dream, the burden of which was that the
engineer had left his locomotive, and that
the train was doomed to certain destrac-
ton. He arose from his seat terror-strickea
the most ahject fear depicted in his counte-
nance, and, to the utter amazement and
bewilderInent of the passengers, who
thought him to be an escaped lunatic rushed
to the platform, calling to bis friend, who
was still asleep. TO follow, and jumped FROM
the train.
The passengers ran TO the doors and win
dOws, and shuddered as they saw the BODY
of Walton strike the ground and roll over
on the other track. The confusion and ex-
element that ensued awoke Sheriff Kerr,
who, missing his companion, at once insti-
tuted inquiries as to his whereabouts. He
was informed by the conductor that his
friend had leaped from the train several
miles back, and that he must have been in
stantly killed. Kerr then requested the
conductor to stop the train, but he would
not, saying that 1.-THE man must be dead,
and it would do no good" The inhumanity
of the conductor soon became known among
the passengers, who vented their indigna-
ton in loud denunciations of such unfeeling
conduct. Arriving at Rome, Kerr stepped
aboard a freight train, and went in search
of his unfortunate friend.
About half way between Rome and Utica
the engineer discovered the bsdy of Walton
lying on the track, and had just time to
prevent his train from passing over him.
Upon reaching Walton they found that he
was still alive, but insensible. He was car
ried to the train and taken to Utica where
medical attendance was secured. In few
hours he revived, and told the strange story
of his dream. After close examination, it
was found that.althOugh badly bruised about |
the head, shoulders and hip, no bones were |
broken, and he will recover. On Wednes- |
day evening he was taken to his home at |
where, shortly after his arrival, |
he again relapsed into an unconscious state. |
in which condition he still remains.

We are informed that all but five of tbe
lots laid out on the town map of VidaIia
have been sold by the original proprietors,
and most of them to persons who will i'm
mediately build cottages The new council
will, as fast as practicable, open all the
streets and have sidewalks built, and pro
coed to fix up generally. We predict that
IN few years Vernon and Carter avenue
will rival any other street in town.

The Richland Beacon saws of the crops

we presume that planting has advanced
s1ihclently, at least in this country, to admit
OF correct estimates. The acreage in both
corn and cotton is not as large as last year.
In other words, there was land cultivated
last year that will not be planted this. 1t is
true there has been land cleared and planted,
put not AS much as there is of old land that
will not be planted There is nronor.;one
ally larger amount of land planted in corn
than there was last year; probably more
corn really planted than there was last wear,
and consequently less cotton.

The Cincinnati Gazette saws.

Inc Connecticut Legislature has declared
Jewell Republican, elected Governor.
Every Democratic member voted against if.
Every democratic journal that we have
seen assails it, They do not DENY that one
hundred more votes were returned than
were polled, nor that one hundred more
were returned for English than for his
party ticket; yet they insist that English
should be declared elected by this blunder
or fraud. This exhibits the Democratic idea
OF the sanctity Of the por pop,tE.

returned 10 the senator's desk, without his

A peculiar question has arisen in New
Hampshire in reference TO the election to fill
the vacancies in the Senate, upon which
body and the House of Representatives de-
wolves the selection of Governor of whom
no choice was made by the people:
1.-The New Hampshire constitution pro-
vides that, in case there shall not appear
to be Senator elected by majority of
votes in any district, the DEFICIENCIES shall
be supplied in the following manner: The
members of the House of Representatives,
and such Senator's as shall be declared
elected, shall take the names of the two
persons having the highest number of votes
in the district, and out of them shall be
elected by joint ballot the Senator wanted
for such district and in like manner all
vacancies in the Senate arising by death,
removal out of the State, or otherwise
shall be supplied as soon as may be after
such vacancies happen.
The New Hampshire Senate, when full,
consists Of twelve members, but at present il
stands five Republicans and five Demo-
Gratis, with two vacancies, one caused by a
failure to elect and the other by the death
OF the candidate, Democrat, Just after his
election, in the sixth district. The Demo-
Gratis IN the House of Representatives. with
the aid of the independent members holding
the balance OF power, it is believed, will
eject u democrat as Senator IN one of the
vacant districts. But in the sixth district.
where the vacancy from the death of
the Democratic member-elect occurred,
there were three members running at the
election, TO wit: Two Republicans and one
Democrat. As the constitution provides
that the choice shall be made out of the
two persons having the highest number of
votes In the district, it is argued that Re
publican must necessarily be elected in the
Sixth District, although the Democrats,
With their allies, may have a majority
This regulation, it is believed, will cause
trouble, as the constitution provides that
the vacancies in the Senate must first be
filed, and the Governor shall then be
elected. In case of dead lock-, the old
ncumbents of the executive offices will
lold ever until the difficulties are adjusted" |

The Times aud Chronicle, of Cincinnati,
says of the income tax:
We have always regarded the income tax
with complacency. 1t is oppressive to no
One-least Of all to the poor or TO men of
moderate means. 1t comes exclusively
upon class of men who are receiving cash
returns on their investments. and who are
only required to contribute a very small per
centage of the money in hand to the public
treasury. 1t has been ridiculously called
unpopular when in fact it is only paid by

Calf Rings a Church Bell.
The Bryan, Texas, Eagle says:
[Frem the New York Herald.


We witnessed, on Sunday evening last, a
freak performed by calf which was SO
singular and laughable as to be worthy of
publication. A flock of cattle was grazing
near tie Methodist church of this city
about the hour for the ringing of the first
bell to summon the congregation. Among
them was a small calf, which wandered
from its companions toward the belfry of
the church. The rope attached to the bell
hung within short distance of the ground,
having a loop upon the end. The calf acct
dentaiiy got its head through the loop, and
giving the rope a pull the bell commenced
ringing. The sound of the bell frightened
the calf which Jumped and pitched until it
succeeded in breaking the rope, performing
some antics which were most Imaginable to
behold. His calfship relieved the sexton
from the duty of ringing the first bell, but
put him to the trouble of procuring another
rope and attaching it in time for the ring
ing of the second. We doubt if any other
community can boast of so pious calf or
one who has had the honor of summonng a
congregation to church
