INVENTIVE GENIUS VS.. STAT E CoHsTA-
BLEs.-Thc ingenuity which is shown by dealers
in Intoxicating beverages, to conceal their COM
pounds from the eyes of the state constables dis
play inventive talent which, if turned to some
good purpose, would bring honor and riches to
its possessOrs, and comfort to the parties with
whom they have dealings, instead of poverty
and misery to their customers as is now the
case The state constables, in their travels,
often find the forbidden compounds concealed
in stoves, hay stacks, beds, barns, and every
conceivable place where a bottle or jug
of liquor can possibly be put without dam
ger of falling under the eyes of the
members of the constablcry but State Consta-
bic Fletcher, of Whitnsvie, recently found
place in Northbridge so arranged that for a
time, ii defeated all search and led the dispenser
of beverages to think that Of all the arrange
ments for concealing liquor his was the only
one that was proof against the searching eyes
Of the constablcs. How successful be was can
easily be Judged from the fact that he has, since
Mr.. Fletchcr's visit, been prosecuted In Rock
dale, village in Northbrdge, was a house
where it was reported that beer was sold, and
thorough search revealed the method of opera
ton. At the head of the stairs was a
cupboard, about four feet from the floor. which
presented an ordinary appearance until one
of the shelves was taken out, when it was found
that the mouth of beer faucet projected through
the plastering in such manner as to be entirely
covered by the shelf when in place. wire
also ran through the wall, which, when
pulled, opened the cock and let on the
beer. How the key was put there was the
next question, but a search in the cellar
revealed trap in the door, which, when
removed, opened the passage to the beer key.
From the beer key lead pipe ran through the
walls of the house TO the stairway above, where a
portion of the balustrade was arranged so that
il could be easily taken out giving access to the
end of the pipe, A tunnel could be here in-
serted and any kind of liquor easily passed
through the pipe to jugs, from which it could be
easily drawn into the little cupboard.

FATAL ACcIDENT.-The train which left here
atabout seven O'Clock yesterday morning over
the Providence road, ran into a team ON cross
ing near WoOnsocket, killing the horse instantly
and inactng such injuries upon the driver that
he died in about an hour. The wagon, which
was piled up with shoe boxes eight or ten feet
high, was standing upon the east track, the
driver evidently waiting for the approach of a
switching engine upon the opposite track. The
engineer of the passenger train saw the team on
coming around the curve, but the speed was
such that he was unable to stop in time. The
wagon and its contents were dashed into kind
ling wood, and the man was thrown directly
under the wheels of the engine. His name was
Alexander Burrakee, and the team belonged to
Mr.. Charles Adrich OF Blackstone. The acct
dent was very sad one, but it is remarkably
fortunate that the train was not thrown from
the track, in which case a more serious loss of
life would have resulted.
