somewhat resembling the famous frog
war at the Bergen tunnel occurred be
tween the Chicago and Northwestern and
u, 1ne Plttsburg and Fort Wayne Railroads.
Inc former road placed one ofits heaviest
locomotives on side track connected
Win Its road, but belonging to private
parties, to prevent the other road from
using it. The Pittsburgh and Fort
ayne folks, nothing daunted, coupled
Two locomotives together and made a
spirited charge on the Northwestern Ma
cnine, which they routed in short order,
aller which they locked and spiked the
switch, remaining in complete possession
OF the held. The next day the difficulty
was settled by the Northwestern Com
pany buying the side track in dispute, as
well as the elevator to which it led.

AMEN.

There was camp meeting scene in the
Senate this morning, which took us back
to the good old days, when halleluiah and
amen were not kept pent up in honest
throats because they were questionable
Dr, Newman finished his morning
prayer with very eloquent passage, and
as he bowed his head in the stiffness. and
very softly and quietly calculated "amen. I"
there came rolling down from the galleries
such loud and hearty shout as made the
callous-hearted statesman start and every
body stare. AMEN" thundered some
good old Methodist brother, not up to the
new way OF doing things, "Amenr and
though some of the thoughtless ones gig
gled, there was an earnestness about that
benedlctlon which made me think that
the Senate began its labors with more
nearly resolution to do its whole duty
than ever before.
A little wrestling with the Lord in
fervent prayer would not hurt the Senate.
as anybody can testify who sees their
daily walk and conversation.

Murder in Boston.

On Wednesday last, two barrels were
seen floating in Charles river. which were
found 10 contain the inuIilated remains o.
a human tody. The head and legs were
in one barrel and the body in the other
aud both were packed with shavings and
morse manure. On examination the head
showed marks OF violent blows made with
some blunt instrument, like an axe or
hatchet, which blow fractured the skull
and produced death. When found. the
man had not been dead more than twenty
four hours. For nearly two DAYS. no clue
could be obtained who the murdered man
was or who committed the deed. At last.

mains, was struck by their resemblance to
those of Abijah Ellis, a wealthy, middle
aged man of Boston.
Inquiry was at once made and Mr.. Ellis
was found to have left his home on Tues
day morning and had not since that time
returned. the last seen of him was on
Tuesday forenoon. Persons who knew
him were Immediately sent TO the Police
