 The very warm weather of the past week has been rather stiling to the general stir ring qualities of our usually lively people, and those who are generally busy all the time. have found it more comfortable keep ing quiet to behold the life that Providence has put into every growing thing. All crops have now very promising look. Hay will be light but larger crop than in 1871 is expected. Some are complaining that apples are falling from the trees, but at the same time admit that the trees are SO full that few falling off will not be missed. ......For some rea:on or other the work on our new depo. has been stopped for a week past; reason not known. The foundation was completed some days ago, but timbers, lumber and carpenters have not yet arrived. .... Fuller 6 Go have reduced thei stock considerably during the three weeks they have been closing out, and our humane friend, Gaylord, reports large sales, and the flow of small beer and soda water from s. 0. Conn's is by no means small. The consequence is that his thermometer stands from four to six degrees less than elsewhere so when we want a cool and refreshing draught, we go to Conn's and imbibe freely. .. XzYNENUs.

 Rev. N. D. Prince was installed pastor of the 1st Cong. church on Thursday, June 27th. The sermon was preached by Rev. J. w. Ludlow of New York. Charge to the pastor by Rev. w. E. Bassett of War ren; Right hand of fellowship by Rev. Harrison of Milton. Charge to the peo- pie by Rev. J. E. Swallow of Falls Village The exercises were very interesting, and although the charge to the people was not in accordance with some of the views of the congregation, it was very pointed one indeed. ... Tobacco, which is the staple crop of this town, is looking finely, and if the frost and hail do not trouble it, there will be the largest crop ever raised in Corn. wall, and since the cut-worm has taken tc ''chawing", the market Is more brisk fol the sale of plants than ever before. Wt are in hopes to get some anti-tobacco lee. turer to come to Cornwall, and see if he cannot pursuade the worms to desist from so foolish a habit. Our New York barber has removed from the village, and now ths young men are under the necessity of sSnge sng their hair off when it gets too long His loss will be greatly lamented, as he hae but few equals in his line of business, bu there is but LSttle loss without some smal gain.. ...Summer boarders are beginning tt arrive, and our village will soon be filled with that class of people who think they have right of way through every one'
 meadows and grain, and that country peo
 pie think it an honor to have them around X, Y,Z.

Rnilroad signals.


 Probably half the accidents that happen on railroads are occasioned by the lack of proper signals to show the distance between trains. That difficulty now seems to be overcome, judging from the description of a late invention just put in operation on the Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad at Fitchbufg. This signal, which is, the joint invention of F. s. 6 W. A. Foster, of Fitchburg, is a circle made of colored glass, red, green and white, upon which are fig ures plainly marked from one to fifteen, each figure denoting minute. These ng' ures are shown through an opening or six or eight inches in the n'seide covering oi the elaas, @ mat they can be readily seen by the engineer in the daytime, and at night the glass is illuminated by lantern placed inside. The signal is operated by the train passing over the rail. As the engine passes the signal turns back to the starting point, from the figure showing the lapse of time between the two trains, and remains station ary until the last car passes, when it com mences to revolve, keeping time in precise. ly the same manner as clock, the figures passing the opening in regular order up to fifteen, provided that time elapses before the arrival of the next train, when the same process is repeated. The invention certain ly seems to be what is desired, and if it really fulf1ls all that is claimed for it, it will lessen the number of casualties on the roads adopting it, and render recurrence of ac. cidents like the terrible one of a year ago simply impossible.

 Friend Pease-How Is the weather up your way? Our thermometers have all boiled over and we have packed them away in the ice house to save what mercury there is left, consequently we are lett entirely ig- norent of the state of the weather, but our fat lad, Uncle Tommy Thompkins, (weight 247,) says it is thawing and his assertions always have considerable weight with us, so shall take it for granted that the wealth CT is on the decline. I think we have to labor under slight disadvantage this hot weather You fellows at Salisbury and other neighboring villages can "drop in '" and order lemonade with Q stick in it, or the stick clear if you like, but the nearest we can come to it is Brinton's Extract of roots, which, by the way, is very good and and we are learning to ''keep kool" on it, but it comes tough to us to get used to so mild beverage......The new church on Elm street is to be commenced soon. MT. Richardson's house is progressing finely and MT. LeYi has the foundation laid for a nlce residence on the same street. We were glad to learn that they were going to have 4th of July this year, and have pro. cured bunch of fire crackers and half g dozen lemons for ''the day we celebrate"

SOLID CHUNKS OF SILVER FoUND.-Quite a large number of miners arrived here on Friday by the steamer Cumberland, from Silver Islet. These gentlemen are experi- enced Cornish miners, who have been work ing on the silver mines for @ year past, and leave there en route for the copper mines on the south shore. They complain that they were overworked and poorly fed all winter, and that if manager Frew is con tinued in charge all the mlners will leave. They report the yield of silver richer as the shaft is deepened, and the solid pieces, worth from $50 to $1oO, are not unfre- quently taken up. They report the vein as being distinctly traced to Burnt Island, three-quarters of mile from Silver Island, and quarter of mile from the main land, where the vein has also been found, and is now being worked.
 That the whole region about Thunder Bay and up the shore to Prince Arthur'i Landing, and probably to Pigeon river, fl very rich of silver there Is but little reason to doubt, and this season will witness ar immense rush to that region. It Is only ,
 question of time, and we think very shor
 time, until the iron-horse will run dow, !, the north shore from Duluth to the Thur der Bay silver mines, and take in on its wa, the rich iron and copper development which are known to exist between here am , the Pigeon river, which is the boundr. between Minnesota and Canada. .-Dslut HerGld.

AWFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN CANA

AWFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN CANADA. Saturday between l2 and 1 o'colck the engine of an express train on the Grand Trunk Railroad, jumped the track about eleven miles below Belleville. Ont. The baggage car remained on the track and tel escoped the smoking car and second class passenger car, leaving them on top of the engine, exposed to the escaping steam from the boiler. Here the poor creatures were hopelessly penned for some time, breathing vspors of death, and suffering all the az ony of immersion into boiling cauldron of superheatnd water. An eye witness says a second class car and the smoking car were telescoped and laid on the loco motive, tho steam from which filled the cars and for time was so dense that noth- ing could be seen. One after another of the scalded victims were crawling from the opening. Crow bars were immediately put into requisition by the passengers from the first-class cars, all of whom escaped injury, and openings were made. Many were found entangled and were extricated with the utmost difficulty, the timbers having to be broken. Five persons were fonnd dead and were carried to the roadside. where the wounded lay for nearly three hours suffer ing the utmost agony. Medical aid finally reached the spot, when the dead and dying were placed in Pullman car, and taken tc Belleville, where everything possible wal done for the relief of the sufferers. The sight was one to baffle description. The terrible cries of the sufferers rent the ears of the lookers-on, who made every possible effort to grant their requests for water ant food. Their terrible injuries wers fearfu to witness, whilst prayers and cries ani premonition of approaching dissolution were here and there heard. Hixty.flye mel and women were fearfully scalded and oth erwise injured. Six of them died on th' spot. Four more died on their way t' Belleyille, and dispatch received Saturda, night states that up to that time twenty three of the unfortunatea, had died. It i said that not more than six or seven of tn injured can survive.

THE ALABAMA TRRATY.-The Treaty of Washington has been so often reported lost and SO often claimed as saved that reports either way have lately received bnt little credence. The official advices from Gene va again indicate that the treaty will not only be saved, but that the arbitration will proceed. This result has been brought about in some way, by which it is learned that the arbitrators will virtually decide that while there is no demand or money damages for the indirect claims, that in fact this class of claims is not in any way GOV cred by the treaty, it is not pretended that there has been any formal decision by the tribunal to that effect, but the United States had reason to more earnestly reiterate Gen Schencks assurance to Earl Granville tha no claim for consequential damages will b' pressed on the Geneva board. It i therefore believed that the arbitration vii go on and that the principle involved in th' indirect claims will be reserved for a sepa rate negotiation between the two govern ments in the future. When the board reas sembles thisweek a brief postponement ma. be made, but according to the present out look 1t will in no way indicate probabl failure of the treaty.
 A dispatch from Geneva, dated Jun 25th, says, that the Board of Arbitrators, g their session on Monday, the 17th inst, ir formed the agents on the part of Englan and the United States, that they considere the indirect claims presented in th case of the American government untent ble. There Is reason to believe that dii patches have been received from the Go, ernment at Washington which will lead to These disrstches MT. Bancroft Davis. th American agent, communicated to tl
 Court on Tuesday. On Thursday tt Tribunal of Arbitration will proceed to col alder the direct claims of the United State
