THE DEXTER AND BEowNynLE RAIL
ROAD. This road which is of great I'M
portance to Belfast, has been chartered
by the Legislature, The Lewiston Jour
nal gives the following account of its final
passage in the Senate
The Piscataquis Central Railroad bin, which
has created intense interest, has at last passed
the Senate by vote of 16 to II. motion TO
refer to the next legislature was negatived BY
tie vote, IA to Il. After this vote WAS an
nounced the excitement was intense; and dur
ing the succeeding call on the main question
the large audience awaited b eathlessly the vote
OF each Senator. Mr., Lebroke was warmly
congratulated by many of his friends upon the
success OF his pet scheme,' as it called. SEN

A CASE OF BITING. Mr.. Torrev. the
bee man, who lavished some of the
honey of his calling on widow at Au-
burn, and married her. has been before
the court at Bangor charged with assault
ing his wife by biting her! The late wild
ow alleges also that Torrey married her
only for her property, and at once pro-
ceeded to appropriate (which latter Of
fence the Court could hardly take cog
nizance of-as she gave her consent.
She says that she really married him
against her will, being under his mesmer-
ic control, and couldn't help herself!
Altogether, it is funny case. 1t puz-
zled the jury so much that they couldn't
agree upon a verdict-and the world will
never be certain whether the bee man
was in the exercise of his connubial rights
in biting his wife.

The Senate Debate

More i growing out Of the debate con
corning the sale of arms to France than
was generally supposed would result
from the matter 1t has already taken
several of the most important members of
the Senate out Of the Republican party
and others are on the anxious seats The
debate Of Friday is of special significance,
as showing the position of Schurz and
Trumbull A despatch of that date says
The resumption of the debate in the senate
TODAY, ostenSiby on the sale OF arms to France,
took the widest range Of political discus sion,
but nevertheless attracted another audience
which filled the chamber to Overlooking.
Messrs. Trumbul and Morton occupied the En-
tire day. The Illinois Senator reviewed Mr.,
Mortou's party dictAtlon, which he declared
rose above honest legislation for the whole
country, and then proceeded to indorse IN lie
tail the platform of the recent Missouri Liberal
Convention. He rejoiced that the Democracy
of Connecticut had accepted this platform, and
hoped that the party throughout the country
would do the same. The Senator's emphatic
approval Of the platform created no little sen
sation as it indicates without doubt Just where
he may be found in the Presidential CAM ai.n.
MIR. 1rumbul WAS severe III his arrangement Of
Morton. and the latter was, of course very bit
ter in his reply. He declared that Mr.. Trum-
bull had this day slipped out from the ranks of
the Republican party hut had stopped within
easy returning distance. with his back chalked
all over, "Barkis is within" He accused him.
he had accused Schurz, of remaining in the
Republican party to betray and DESTROY it,
and he appealed TO hun to stand up now and
say that he had abandoned that party. 1t is now
thought that the debate having assumed II posi-
tive political character will last another week.
