Resolutions Of the Maine Homeopathic Medical
Society.


Society.
A special meeting of the Maine HomGo-
pathic Medical Society was held in this city
on Monday, February 20, for the purpose of
taking action upon the official course of DR..
Van Aernam is expelling all homeopathic
surgeons from the position of examining sur
geon, at which the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, DR.. Van Aerman, Commits
sioner of the Pension Bureau at Washington,
has removed from the office of Examining
Pension Surgeon, DR.. Stillman S. Spooner of
Oneida, N. Y, and DR.. CORTLAND Hoppin, of
Providence, r. l., as we'll as several other
pension surgeons in various parts of the
country, on the ground that they were homGo-
pathic physicians, and did not belong" as
DR.. Van Aernam declares in his letter of dis
| missal, " to the school of medicine recognized
| by the bureau" and
WHEREAS, This extra. judicial act of the
| Commission of Pensions seems to be an at
tempt in behalf of one sect of medical prac-
titioners to enforce proscritive policy against
another sect, which, to say the least, is anti
republican in spirit, pernicious in principle,
and arbitrary in practice, and instead of har-
monizing with the boosted, enlightened and
liberalized spirit of the last half of the 10Th
| century, accords more fully with the spirit
that ruled in the dark days of christian per-
secution; or the period when by act of par
lament nOn-conformists were not only de-
priysd of the right of holding civil Office,

Meeting Of City Council.

hcttlhS OI SIty tOuneH.
The regular monthly meeting of the City
Council, was holden on Saturday.
Order passed: That the Mayer be directed
to draw his warrant on the City Treasurer for
the sum of s25 to be paid to Levi Page, the
Clerk of the Common Council, in addition to
his salary, for extra services rendered by him
the past year.
W. X. Lancey was granted the use of
portion of Bridge street, opposite his new
block of houses now in process of erection,
for the purpose of placing building materials
| thereon, not exceeding ten feet in width, dur
ing the time said block shall be building.
Petition of same, praying that the above
tenements and land on which they are to be
placed, shall be exempt from taxation until
a permanent wall for the protection of side
walk, and suitable sidewalk is built, was re-
ferred to the next City Council. The petit
toner claims that as he is TO erect immedi-
ately block of tenement houses on the lot on
Bridge street, recently owned by the late
Daniel Woodward, that the street opposite
the proposed block is in need of permanent
wall for its protection and for the use and
benefit of a sidewalk.
Leave to withdraw reported on petit
ton of Joshua Greenlcaf for allowance
for injuries to horse, causing death, by reason
of rolling stone in the road leading from
Bolton ILM to Cross Hill.

Hon. Board of Aldermen and City Coun-
Gil of Augusta Dear sirs-I thank you very
kindly for any attention that has been paid to
my petition for 81 900, in consequence Of my
serious injury and long continued case of
suffering and distress. Your offer of 500 is
in no way equivalent to my long past sickness
and constant present expenses attendant on
my injured health. 1t is recommended to me
to be out all can, but have to suffer all the
more if make the effort. If you will give
me anything near what is equitable, say $780,
will take it, if paid at once, as the real DANA
ges are three times as much rs that. hope
your better judgment will induce you to COM
ply with this request, to prevent litigation, as
tue lily SOliCltOT has every point Ill
the case, except the responsibility of the city.
You can judge whether that point can be
easily proved.
Very respectfully,
Mrs. NJ NJ. HARTFORD"

HEBREW NAMES

Biblical names, says the Jewish Messeng-
ger are frequently "moGerniZed" The Gus
tom, We fancy, arises generally from feeling
OF false shame, which is certainly culpabie,
for names Of themselves express nothing,
and it is altogether ridiculous to suppose
that the change of one or more letters will
whlten the moral character or raise ones
reputation, save among a community of the
silliest and most despicable. Thus Abra-
ham becomes Braham Abrahamson. Bran
son; Baruch, Barrow; David and Davidson,
Davisand Dawson; Emanuel, Manuel,
Jonas, Jones. Levi is made to undergo
several transformations appearing success
lively as Lewis, Levy, ,Levett, ,Lieber, Levin,
while Leyison is transmitted into Levinson;
and Leviberg into Lavenberg. Moses is
Americanized into Moss, Mosely, and at
times Morris; Solomon is transformed into
Solomon and Sloman; Zacharias is changed
to Zacharie; Jacob and jacobson appear as
Jacques and Jackson.
Scriptual names are frequently altered
by the insertion or omission of one or more
letters, the bearers thereof becoming cores
pondingly glorified. Thus Aaron and Aaron
son blandly beam upon you as Aron and
Aronson; Esther, ''the STAR loses all its
significance when turned into Estele; Eve
would not know herself Eva, nor Hannah
as Annie, nor Elkanah as Elkan, nor Joseph
as Joseph. Judah is shortened into Juda,
and'Sarah into Sara. On the other hand,
Rachel is heightened into Rachael and Sam
son, into Sampson.

ExORRITANCE EISEWHERE.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
You are ventilating the fees of the At
Sorneys of the State in the delinquent rail-
road cases. This is just and proper. But /
beg to call your attention to another sub
ject, to which the vigilance of the Union
AND AMERICAN has called my attention.
1t is:
A few days ago the House of Representa-
tives passed bill to ratify and confirm all
the sales of the several railroads made by
the commissioners and to guaranty to the
purchasers the quiet possession and oceu-
patton thereof, and directing the commits
sioners to put purchasers in possession of
the roads, etc. The vote in the House on
this bill, strange to say, was nearly unani-
nous. Does this confirming of these sales
not preclude the State from ever investi-
eating the claim of the Nashville and Chat
tanOOga Company against the State for run
ming and Operatingthe Nashville and North
western road from Jan. /, 1870, to the date
of the sale? This sum is $4,000. Is
there any member of the Legislature who
has investigated this account and can say
it is correct and is properly chargeable
either to the State or to the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad? If there be one,
let him speak. Yet the bill passed the
House, and is pending in the Senate on its
third reading, if my information is correct.
l assert, and am able to make good the
assertion, that this claim against the State
Of S537, 900 is not correct. If it is allowed
and paid, the Legislature will allow and paw
a claim that cannot be established in any
court.
Before it passes the Senate, desire to
say that if a committee is appointed to in
vestigate this claim, the chairman of the
committee shall have the necessary proof to
show that this claim is unjust, and is not
chargeable to the State. VIII the commit
tee be appointed and an investigation be
had?
ave will see what we shall see."

An EXCITING RAILROAD RACE.

The Richfeld Springs correspondent of
the Utica Herald tells the following as
having occurred last week:
Four freight cars, heavily laden with
lumber and merchandise, had been brought
up to the junction near Cassville by a coal
train. They were carelessly uncoupled on
a grade of eighty-five feet to the mile, and
Immediately began backing toward Utica.
They gained momentum at a fearful rate,
and all efforts to stop them by throwing
rails and other ObstruCtiOns upon the track
were ineffective. A train had left for Utica
but eight minutes befole, and every one
was well aware that the heavy freight cars,
would, in a few moments, go crashing into
its rear Fortunately the engine of the coal
train stOed on a switch, and Engineer Fer
rill at once determined to give the flying
cars a chase. All hands mount to the post
of duty, the signal is given, and a fearful
race is begun. There is awful danger ahead,
for if the wOrF1nen should have the rails up,
or the flying cars themselves should leave
the track, every man would be in eternity
in an instant. Mile after mile the chase is
kept up, and the locomotive gains inch by
inch.
At last the fugitives are overtaken: the
critical moment has come. A mistake and
all is over; the flying cars will only be
FASTENED in their flight by the collision.
But the fireman and brakeman are reaching
down from the rear of the tender, one with
the draw-bar and one with the coupling
pin. The cars touch; the draw-bar, skill
fully guided, enters the socket, and the pin
drops to its place! The danger is
over, the speed gradually checked, and in
a few minutes the engine and the rescued
cars are again climbing the grade TO Cass-
vile. The deed Of the engineer and his
and will long be remembered by those in
the crowded passenger train which was but
a few hundred feet in advance of them, and
whose lives they saved at the imminent
risk of their own.

Another Bridge Across the Mississippi
A party of practical bridge builders, now
in this city, have made propositions to con-
struct a span bridge across the Mississippi
River at Carondelet or South st. Louis,
five miles south of the court house, agree
ing to complete it within two years. at a
cost of not exceeding S2,OO0,000. Three
railroad companies have already expressed
a willingness to enter into the arrangement,
and negotiations are now pending to secure
the cooperation of one more of the roads
terminating at East st. Louis. There is
every indication that the work will com
mence in a short time.
Preparations are already made to con-
struct a branch road from Laclede station,
on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad,to Car
rondelet, to connect with the iron furnaces
there. Large stock yards also will be con-
structed there, and the necessities for a
bridge at that point are becoming impera-
tive.

viIIe-COnfessiOn aud Arrest OfOne of
the Murderers. trrts.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 1.-THE murder of
the Park family last Saturday night, near
Henryville, Clark county, Indiana, produces
profound sensation in the surrounding
country. The inquest held on Saturday
over the remains, failed to elicit anything
implicatory of any one; however, suspicion
somehow, attached to one George Johnston,
a colored man, who lives in Mr.. Parks
neighborhood, and he was arrested yester-
day morning. He contradicted himself in
many essential particulars on the trial be-
fore James S. Ryan, Justice of the Peace,
yesterday, at Henryville, failing to account
for his whereabouts Saturday night.
About 8 O'Clock, last night, several of the
best citizens of Henryville, who believed
that the evidence unmistakably implicated
George Johnston, quietly escorted the fiend
to back room, and, putting a rope about
his neck assured him that SO far as he was
concerned the murder was traced to his
door, and demanded of him to expose his
partners in crime. He was not long COM
ing to time. He revealed the whole horri-
Bile plot.
Two negroes, one by the name of Squire
Taylor, the other known as - Davis, and
himself, met two or three days ago. 1t
was mentioned that the murdered man,
Mr. Park, being the Treasurer of his church,
had four or five hundred dollars on hand.
The attack was then planned for Saturday
night. George says that he watched out
side, while Davis held the light, and Squire
Taylor did the execution. He cOrroborates
Mrs. Sinclair's statement precisely as to the
amount ofmoney they got-S140. George
says his partners refused TO divide fairly
with him, and hence he felt less conscien-
tiouS in exposing them.
The whereabouts of these other two
scOundrels was ascertained, and several gen
tlemen, headed by the constable, started at
once after them, feeling sure of speedy ar
rest. They had not returned last night at
10! o'clock, when the train left, but were
expected in about midnight.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 14-The party last
night were successful in arresting Johnson's
accomplices, and the excitement was so
great that the officers had to take the muir
derers through the woods to avoid the mob,
and bring them to Jeffersonville where they
were lodged in jail. .-.
To-day Wiley Miller, of Jessamine county,
KY, was held in $500 by the United
States Commissioner, charged with shoot
ing with intent to kill Sam Stirnge, colored.

WHATEVER else may be said of this
year, 1871, it must be admitted that it is
year of plenty to the hunter. The prairies
of Illinois abound in focks of quail the
woods of Wisconsin TEEN with deer, Mis-
souri, is alive with squirrels, robins in innu-
merable focks are found in Western New
York, Ohio forests are broken down by the
roosting of wild pigeons on them, and In
diana cornfields are alive with blackbirds.
The luxurious Kentuckians are satiated
with fat opossums, Pennsylvanians pursue
red foxes in scores, the residents of the
Lake Superior region capture carbon, and
New Hampshire hunters have fierce en-
counters with three hundred pound bears.
Elk are abundant in Maine and wild turkeys
in Virginia. The newspapers of these re-
spective places add to their accounts great
stories of prodigious pumpkins, brobdigna-
gian beets, colossal cabbages, towering
tomatoes, tremendous turnips, onions Os-
sa-lke in size and squashes of stupendous
growth. If all these tales are credible, this
year transcends all for abundance.
