apprehension that it was to be regular re-

to be such by Mr.. Cider Gilman, and was
foolish enough to believe what that gentleman

A KEROSENE VoLCANo.-On Tuesday eve
ming the inhabitants of Greenpoint and Hum
ter's Point were startled by flash that for a
moment filled the air with vivid light, and a
low rumbling sound like that of an earthquake
that followed Immediately afterward, shaking
windows and objects indoors in a manner very
mysterious to those who did not know the
cause. Immediately a huge volume of black
smoke was seen rising over the oil-works at
Blissville, and moment after great pillows of
fame were leaping high into the air, while the
dense black cloud stretched itself far away to
the west
The scene of the disaster was John B. Coz
zens' old oil-works. An immense still, covered
in by large brick structure, had exploded,
blowing the building to atoms, and scattering
the flaming fluid over the brick stable and Of
fee adjoining. All these buildings were in a
very short time involved in general confagra-
ton. The spectacle was magnificent one, its
appalling character being very much mitigated
by the fact that no person was seriously injured
by it. Only one person was working near the
building when the explosion took place, and he
fortunately escaped with only slight bruise or
SO, being thrown down by the conclusion.
Thousands upon thousands of gallons of oil
were consumed, the flames throwing a glare
that lit up the surrounding country for great
distance. The amount of damage could not be
ascertained at once, but it was thought that it
would not fall short of $4,000

DE PRoFUNDIs.-An incident with serious.
as well as ludicrous phase to tin which the
latter predominated, fortunately, - occurred
on the line of the Boston and Maine railroad
Wednesday evening. Conductor P, who
had finished his work for the day. put on his
Sunday clothes and started by train for lit
tie town just out of Boston, where he anticipat-
ed spending pleasant evening. On the train
with him was Mr. NJ higher official of
the road, whom business led in the same direc-
ton. A little way out of the city some acct
dent happened to the engine and the train
came to full stop. OF course the passengers
got out to see what the matter was-just as
they always do-and walked up the line.
P with them. Now there is deep cul-
vert close by that place, and p very kind
ly warned the passengers of it. He finished
his walk up the road, and began his return; got
absorbed in his thoughts and forgot the advice
he had volunteered just before. Plump he
went into the ditch, which had a foot or two of
water in it. He scrambled out as quick as he
could, unhurt, but his store clothes were
not improved by that washing. NJ, by
the way, also followed his subordinate up the
The Portland daily press., 1872-01-05

line, and cautioned the people about the hole,
also, and everybody passed over safely. When
M returned, he got thinking about some
thing else and coolly stepped off the parapet in
to the lmpid stream below. He pulled him
self out, little soiled, and as the fau1 pas
ought, for the sake of his own dignity to be
concealed he made his way guiltily to the
baggage-car to dry himself off by the stove and
found p going through similar process
NJ looked at P and P looked
at M. Somehow the whole story was
told in the expression of those faces, and
M and p mentally promised each
other that they would never tell

iects presented for private legislation that are
already provided for by the general statutes
much of this legislation would be avoided. 1t
may be advisable to extend the provisions of
the general law so as to reduce still further the
occasion for special legislation.
The report of the Attorney General, Secre-
tary of the Board of Agriculture, Insurance
Commissioner, Bank Examiner, State Libra
rian and Fish Commissioner, containing valua-
able information and important suggestions,
will be laid before you.
CONCLUSION.

will lead to wise and harmonious conclu-
sions, and that your legislation will be charac-
terized by its adaptation to the wants of the
people and the welfare of the State.

A REMARKABLE CAsE-It is stated that
post mortem examination of the body of Rufus
Ripley, the young clerk in the Bank of New
York, in New York city, on the 18th ult, shows
that several sharp needle-like growths of bone
had been forcing their way from the inside of
the skull into the unfortunate young mans
brain, and it is probable that they were the di-
rect cause of the headache to which he was a
martyr, and of the giving way at last to the
suicidal impulse. Some of these bones pro-
jected quarter of an inch or more into the
brain, and were exceedingly sharp. During the
last eight years of his life Mr.. Ripley suffered
from persistent, incorrigible pain in the head
on which no therapeutic agencies-not even the
strongest electric current-would produce the
slightest impression. In other respects he was
healthy man, finely developed. His case is
not without precedent, but such instances are
rare

THE Transcript says that the Argus COM
mends that pet institution of little Delaware,
the whipping post. Some of the Delaware pa
pers do not For instance, this is what the
Wilmington Commercial says:
In a recent speech our Congressman, Mr..
Biggs, who can raise as many peaches per acre
as the next man, and doesn't get frightened if
the market is a little dull, made very serious
error. He assured the House that: $50 lar as
the State of Delaware is concerned, and espec-
tally as regards the whipping-post, that is an
institution which we ourselves to-day are proud
of. 1t has only been established for felons, and
seoundrels, and thieves and robbers; and to the
glory of the State be it said, that no man has
been caught back at it second time after he has
been once properly whaled."
Now, the fact is, that it is a common thing
for a man to be whipped more than once At
the recent session of Court, one Luton was
whipped for larceny, who had been dashed at
the same post, by the same 'cat-o' -nine-tails,"
not less than twice or thrice previously Lut-
ton said he had ceased to care for the punish
ment, and he had evidently lost all sense of hui
initiation and shame. We undertake to say
that if any careful examination is made of the
Court records, and the Sheriff records, (if they
keep any that it will be found that at least one
fifth, if not one-fourth of the whippings annu-
ally, are inflicted on persons who had been so
punished previously. No statistics of crime are
collected or published in the State. Nobody
knows the precise facts figures, but the friends
of the lash, the admirers of the whpping-post.
(among whom we grieve to see a humane and
civilized gentleman like Mr. Biggs,) have long
made bold and unfounded claim that people
were never "whaled twice." 1t is time this as
sumption were exploded, and we here take oc-
casion to do so. The statement is not true, and
the records will show its falsity! We say again.
that though the lash and the ''convicts iacket'
system have the effect of driving many of our
1c into otI Ctotn
to the whipping-post to be dashed second time,
and even oftener.

STATUE OF ROGER SHERMAN.-The statue of
Roger Sherman, the first Governor of Connec-
ticut and signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence, has been set up in the National Cap
itol by the statue of Trumbull, and the two
standing directly opposite the statues of Greene
and Roger Williams, form very pleasing adj
dition to the statuary of the Capitol. The Sher-
man will, perhaps, be considered more pleas
ing marble than the Trumbull, though both will
be justly admired. 1t is worthy of remark that
the statue of Gov. Sherman bears a striking re-
semblance to Senator Trumbull, of Illinois
He is represented in the attitude of delivering
a speech. The left hand holds up the cloak
which has partially fallen from the right
shoulder, and the right arm is raised to the
height of the breast, and the hand employed
with gesture. The contour of the figure and
the expression of the face unites in impressing
one that the statue is the contribution of Illi-
nois instead of Connecticut

DEAF MUTEs.
We should have no claim to be called a chris
tan people, if our sympathies were not drawn
towards that unfortunate class of our citizens
who are obiyious to the sweet music of nature,
speech and song, ana doomed to perpetual 81
lence. Though we may not be able to unstop
the deaf ear, or give power to the paralyzed OF
defective organs of speech, yet science and GER
severing efforts are able to bridge the seeming
~ impossible gulf that separates these people
from their fellows and impart no small amount
OF practical knowledge and moral and religious
culture.
We are now supporting in the American Asv-
lum at Hartford, Connecticut, fifty-six pupils,
at a cost of $4,000 each per annum A care
full examination into the affairs of the inst;tn-
ton, including the discipline and instruction of
the pupils, both in the school room and work
shops, confirms my former opinion that it is
under ethclent management. 1t is claimed
that notwithstanding their deprivation of hear
ing and speech, less number of those who
have been educated in this institution failed to
support themselves by their own exerrions
than of those who, with these faculties unim-
paired graduate from other institutions of
learning; while instances of their being con-
victed of crime are seldom, if ever, known
This is accounted for by the fact that thew are
all taught to do something As this institution
has the benefit of fund the annual income of
which amounts to $4,000 or more, and as we
are only called upon to pay our proportion of
the expenses above that sum- it is not probable
that we can provide for this class of our people
so cheaply and well any other way.
