MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.


NC OMOhCc OA AuVeotmemt.
So many new railroad projects are being put
upon the market, that the would-be investor
of surplus funds is frequently puzzled to know
which are good and which doubtful. Careful
examination should be made, % far as oppor-
tunity offers, into any enterprise, before put
ting money into it; but the average investor
cannot do this fully when the work is located
at the West or South. In such cases, the
character of the men who are identified with
it and who are likely to be leading ones in its
management, is one of the best tests Of its
safety. Another requisite is, that the railroad
is needed in its proposed location, and that it
be supported by the States Or Communities
traversed. The New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad is one of the prominent ones
now before the public, and interest is felt in
its standing. The Companyis very strong
one, comprising names known throughout the
country as honorable in business. and emf.
nently successful in finance. Some of these
names are given in another column. These
men have shown that they mean to carry their
road through, by already putting into it money
enough to furnish dozen fortunes.
The location of the line seems such as must
secure to it an enormous traffic, of which il
will have virtual monopoly for a long time to
come, and the very liberal aid given or guaran'
teed to the road by the State Of Louisiana
shows how much it is needed, and how hearth
ly it is supported by the people,
These and other features, set forth elsewhere
in an advertisement of the 8 per cent bonds o
the Company, go to prove their soundness and
profit as an investment. The local agent viii

sired. d&w1t

NAPLES, July Goth, 1871.
Two tbunderbolts and an earthquake in
Naples all in one day, show is that for high ?"
What will California say?
During the shower this afternoon the light
ming struck with a terrible crash upon Mr..
Wentworth's barn, containing some twelve
tons OF hay, and Immediately after the lurid
flames burst forth as though q red hot thun-
derbolt been shot into power magazine.
Quick as fash the consuming fire, famed by
strong breeze, swept with furnace heat
through the outbuildings to the house, and
before hardly anything could be removed the
demon of destruction was revealing in his holo-
lars against loss of $500.
Widow Archibald's barn, a mile from the
village, was struck about the same time, but
fortunately the burning bolt missed the hay
NOW and no special damage was done. Mem.
Mrs. A. dreamed a few nights ago that the
lightning was forging bolt for her tbarn, and
she got up and turned out all her stock to
make the blow as light as possible.
Close on the heels of the electric display in
WV ooiuI ouu as pcOpI0 were
dropping to sleep after the long excitement, at
midnight there came now terEor-the shock
of an earthquake-that made some of them
bound from their beds with alright. 1t is Just
mail time and can give you now only two or
three expressions of witnesses.
Mr.. Scammon. 81 heard a rumbling noise
about twelve o'clock, the table at the head
of my bed began to shake, and knew it was
an earthquake. My wife thought it was a
wagon passing along the street. 1t did not
continue so long or seem SO heavy as the earth
quake year ago."
Mr.. Kmball jumped from his bed to the
middle of the room, as an expression of the
way it affected him.
Master Wentworth, boy OF fifteen, said the
door of his room swung and ratified and his
bed rocked like cradle. Mr. Leach said the
covers upon the stove ratified and that the
noise sounded like the rumbling of a wagon
over frozen ground, and gradually died away
like that in a distance. He thought it was far
more violent than the earthquake year ago.

SIX YEARS WITH A BULLET IN THE BRAIN.
The ease with which nature accommodates it.
self to circumstances is we'll illustrated in the
case of Canadian who met his death by v:o-
lence few days ago. On examining the skull
there was found, beside the fracture which was
the immediate cause of death, a leadcn bullet
within the Uranium, lodged in q sack-like pro-
cess OF the lining membrane of the skull. No
trace OF the course of the bullet could be dis
covered except in a slight hardening of the
brain adjacent to the point where the missile
entered the BRAN: The man, it is asserted, re-
ceived the shot about six years ago and had
carried the bullet in his brain for that length
of time without an apparent injury.
The North Congregational church Of Ports
mouth celebrated its 2OOth anniversary yester-
day afternoon. The services were performed
by three former pastors, Rev. William l..
Gage of Hartford, the Rev. Henry d. Moore
of Cincinnati, and the Rev. DR.. Lyman Whit
ney of Wisconsin; also the Rev. e. A. Rand Of
South Boston, and the Rev. VIM. W. Dow OF
Maine. who were educated in this church. The
copy of the scriptures used is an old Geneva
Bible, printed in 1899, formerly owned by the

and now owned by A. j. Haines of Illinois, a

- CINCINNATI, July 2O.-The Kentucky and
Great Eastern railroad company have decided
to build a new road from Cincinnati to New
York city, through Kentucky across West
Virginia to point in Virginia, thence by the
roads now constructing through York and
Reading, Penn, to the terminus. 1t is claim.
miles shorter than the route by the Pennsyl.
vania Central, and in equalling distances, by
reason of the curves and grades, the new route
will be the shortest by little less than 2eO
miles. 1t will be commenced in Kentucky
within three months, and the whole will be e u.
ished in less than three years. The Auditor OF
Kentucky has issued circular to persons en-

THE conuudrum over which New York is
cudgelling its brains at present, is whether
John T. Hoffman was really SO ignorant as he
"lets on" to have been of what the municipal
authorities meant to do about the Orange par
ade. Some of the city papers assert that he
was in New York the Monday before the riot,
and that a member of his staff had long con-
ference with the mayor-from which they in
fer, perhaps little hastily, that he was posted
as to the policy determined upon. and gave it
at least tacit sanction. On the other hand.
Jerseyman who was in the governors room
at Albany on Tuesday Of that week, writes to
the Newark Advertiser that Col. Van Buren,,
the governors secretary, told him neither Mr..
Hoffman nor himself had had time to read the
morning papers; and adds, that when their at
tention was called to Kelso's order, the colonel
said it was all wrong, and the governor took
the next train for New York. We think it
only Christian charity to let Mr.. Hoffman have
the benefit of the doubt. He needs it, He
tipped over his own apple cart very neatly
when he revoked that order.
