We learn that sometime last week
Mr.. Alfred Conway went t. the house
of a Mr.. Leathcrs, near Spring Hill, in
this county, about dark, and demanded
supper, Mr.. I.eathers went about to get
supper for him. In the meantime Mr..
Conway left. Shortly afterwards he
again returned, raised aquarrel with Mr.
Lcathers and attacked him with q
single tree, or knife, when Mr.. Leathers
struck him a heavy blow on the head
with an axe, innicting very severe
wound. Mr.. feathers offered to sur
render himself to an officer, but no one
took charge of him. From all we can
learn he acted in necessary self,defence.
Mr.. Conway is recovering.

markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to eiieetually purge out the great cor
ruptions Of the blood such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurkcd in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. BY renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and istless Ian

for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and new lease of

BOSTON, Tuesday, May 10, 1871.
The long expected vote of the senate on the ex-
tenson of the Worcester and Gardner railroad to
Wincheudon took place to-day, and it was noted
that every senator was in his seat. Although the
vote was adverse to this just and reasonable meas
ure, the majority against the bill smaller than
1t would have been two weeks ago before the move
ments of the paid lobby and railroad ring had been
exposed by the press 1t Is undoubtedly true that
several senator's were induced early in the session
to pledge themselves to vote against the extension
before they were aware of the character of the
measure and saw no way TO break from their fool

ously since the first week in January to defeat the
bill.
The debate was opened by Senator Bird, chair
man of the committee railroads, who said the
opposition to the bill did not rest upon the merits
the measure; it proceeded entirely from parties
whose interests were affected. The profits of the
old roads, he claimed, would not be materially az.
fected by It, and TO say that the people would not be
as well accommodated by the building of the pro-
posed road was preposterous. The reduction of the
number OF trains upon a road because another was

Opium smokers Den.

A writer in Good Words, who is giving de-
scriptions of "Night Rambles" in the East End
of London, draws this picture of an opium
smoking den, the keeper of which is supposed
to have been the original of one of Dickens
characters in Edwin Drood"i
A black.moustached, swarthy Lascar, who
passes for ELIAS husband, lies rolled up in a
rug. He pretends to be asleep, but now and
then gives grunt Of inquiry, and Eliza answers
him in his own tongue. She is a saIlow-faced,
careesslyydressed woman, reclining on the other
end ofthe bed, with her opium pipe, lamp, Sc,

up to dry before the little fire. She is asked
whether she is getting ready to go to church or
chapel next day. "Ah, nc" she answers, in a
canning whine, chats what | can't do, but it's
where | should like to go if was prepared q
When asked how she came to take to opium
smoking, she says that she can speak Hindu and
Hindustini, and used to be with those that spoke
them, and one would say to her, "Have
whiff?, and another would say to her, "Haye q

Governor Hoffman has not yet signed the bill
amending the New York code, and probably will
not, unless "Boss Tweed" insists that he cannot
possibly get along without it. Besides other
atrocious features, this bill gives any judge the
power to punish, at his discretion, for a con
tempt of court any one who presumes to criticise'
in speech or writing, the proceedings in his
court, or even to publish an accurate report of
them, if the judge has seen fit to forbid
their publication. The amount of the penalty
whether by fine or imprisonment is lett entirely
to the judges discretion, or indiseretion, as are
also the definition of the offence and the
methods of procedure. The bill makes every
judge an irresponsible despot, and even the
New Workers, who are accustomed to submit,
without other show of resistance than pretty
constant grumbling to the oppression of their
various rings, are beginning to grow FESTIVE I'M
der the prospect before them. The Evening
Post, in answer to a correspondent who asks
what will the press and bar do if the governor
signs the bill, declares its intention in this Wig
or0us language:
"But for ourselves we answer freely and
plainly, that If arbitrary power to suppress or
punish reasonable freedom of speech and of the
press is ever granted by legislature to any man
or set of men, we shall entertain and express
our contempt for the members who vote for
such measure; that if a bill granting such
power is ever signed by governor of New York,
we shall spare no means within our reach to
bring him into lasting and universal contempt
and that if any judge ever attempts the exercise
of such powers we shall feel for that judge the
contempt he deserves, and shall express it with
out hesitation or qualification in the most di
Iou HY,1 hill and
fully give the widest publicity we can command
to all the facts and reasons which justify that
contempt and which will help to extend it
among all people and for all time"
