FATAL AccIDENT.-Yesterday morning as a
gravel train on the Boston and Maine extern
sion was backing down to make connection
with stone car near Quimby's bridge, a boy
about fifteen years old named Hugh Wade, who
was dangling his legs from the rear end of one
of the cars, lost his balance and was thrown
upon the track Several of the cars passed
over his bowels, killing him instantly. The boy
resided near the Kerosense Works. Coroner
James E. Gould was called, and with his usual
commendable promptitude, held an inquest.
The following verdict was rendered. "We find
that the deceased, Hugh Wade, came to his
death by being thrown from car on gravel
train on the Boston and Maine railroad, and
that it was due to his own carelessness; and we
fully exculpate the conductor and engineer
from all blame"

SOMETHING ABOUT A GRAY DEMOCRAT
Capt George Dolly is his name, and politically
he was, up to November 9th, Dolly Warden.
Capt Dolly had faith in H. g. so much SO
that he thought that H. G. (who said once that
q. s. G. "never was and never could be beaten'')
would be elected President. Solomon Foster,
Esq, Trial Justice, thought otherwisely, and it
came about that these gentlemen agreed that
whichever was wrong in his predictions of the
result should wheclbarrow to Portland market
one barrel of apples for the advantage and gain
of the other. Well, as things have come about,
Capt. Dolly is the man who is to do the wheel
ing, and the programme is that he shall arrive
at Market Square near Mr.. KimbalPs elegant
carriage repository, at ten o'clock next Thurs
day morning, when we will all be there to see.

OYSTERS.
A Growing Trade and "a Growing BIZ
valve.

A Growing Trade and "a Growing BIZ
The English and French are taking
very kindly to the Chesapeake oysters,
and Norfolk is doing large business
in that line. One firm is forwarding at
the rate of 1000 barrels per mouth,
principally to France. another is
shipping at the rate of about 1000 bar
rels per month to Liverpool. At pres
ent they 90 forward by New York,
thence to destination by steamer.
When the Allan weekly line Plies, the
traffic will increase. The new trade al
ready give an impulse to oyster RAISING.
The oy ster "spot," as soon as it is
free, assumes the most active state of
life and motion, dancing and gyrating
up and down in concentric columns, as
midgets play in the evening sunbeams.
A microscope shows how exquisitely
these little fellows are fashioned. A
pair of tiny shells, the counterpart of
those of the mature oyster, inclose the
yet rudimentary organs, while affixed
to the mantle is kind of tiny coronet,
composed of minute, hair like append
ages (cilia) The violent and ceaseless
vibration of these living paddles serves
to row the infant oyster rapidly from
the place. Should it become the des-
tiny of one of these fragile beings to
become steady, well.behaved oyster,
it finally settles itself on some suitable
resting place, to which it makes itself
fast-no one ever clearly knows how
by the under valve or shell. The bris-
tle-like oars of ella, no longer of any
utility, disappear, and now, perma-
nent fixture, the baby oyster begins to
grow. At about a fortnight old it is
not much bigger than fair sixed pins
head, and at three months about that
of split pea. Having attained a
years growth, under favorable condi
tions, the young oyster will become as
big as an ordinary halfpenny; while at
tour years growth, they are considered
marketable.

A NOBLE ANIMAL.

A Dog THAT is Worth Something.
The following is from the Portland
"A. G. Newman, assistant light-keeper
at Mount Desart, is the owner of hne
Newfoundland dog, of whom we are told
the following anecd0te: "On Sunday the
18th ult.. Mr.. Newman's little boy, nine
years old, strayed away and was missing
for About two hours. The mother went
out of doors and called to him, when the
dog in response, ran up from the shore
with the boys wet cap in his mouth, and
signifed by his actions that he desired
her to follow him. The mother, alarmed,
called the Father who was sleeping in the
house, and they followed the dog as
quick as possible. Down by the shore on
a rock, the little boy was lying insensi-
BILE, his clothes wet, as if he had been
dragged from the water. After long eff
forts, in which the dog rendered all the
assistance he could in his mute way, the
boy was resuscited, and afterwards told
his story. He was on the beach gather.
ing shells when large wave came in
ndcarried him off in the undertow The
dog jumped in after him, but the wave
prevented him from reaching the boy for
some minutes. He siezed him by the leg
of his trowsers and tried to drag him
ashore, but the cloth tore in his teeth
and the boy said he had an indistinct re-
collection of thed dog coming down below
the surface for him again and that was
the,last thing lie was conscious of. 1t
seems that the dog had dragged the child
upon the rock out of the reach of the
waves and had tried to restore him.
When ne heard the mothers call he took
the cap to inform her, as well as he could,
Of the affair, and hasten assistance. -
