A CASE IN PoINT.-On the night of the 25th
inst, freight on the Eastern Railroad broke
apart as it was approaching Kennebunk. As
soon as it was discovered that part of the
tain was missing, the engineer, Mr.. Cammett
of this city. pushed forward to Kennebuuk on
his own time with the cars attached to his en-
CINE, put them on side-track, Immediately in
formed the train dispatcher at Portsmouth of
the condition of his train and asked permission
to go and get the missing cars and return to
Kennebunk. The permission was instantly
granted and he was informed that the Pullman
would wait for him at that station. The order
from Mr.. Wing, the train dispatcher, reading
stop Pullman train at Kennebunk until freight
I arrives, was showed to the engineer before be
left for his missing cars. He returned with his
train before the Pullman was ready to leave
Kennebunk.
This occurrence is proof of the correctness
of Mr. Wings testimony before the inquest on
the Duck Brook accident, when he stated to
the jury that had the rules of the road been
obeyed no accident would have happened on
the night of the 18th inst The incident Thurs
day night is indicative Of the course that should
have been followed by freight w on Friday
night of last week.

AND now it appears that the Liberal party
is to be called into court to show if i. be really
party. In the State of New York the law
provides that the county notices shall be
published in one paper OF each OF the principal
parties. In A;legany County there is lib.
eral paper called the Herald, and at a recent
meeting of the supervisors they made
it one of tie county papers. The Allegany
Democrat which represents the party whose
name 1t bears, protests against this action on
the ground that the Herald, representing the
Liberal party, is not entitled to the printing
and has gone to the courts for judicial dec
sion as to whether or not the Liberals are
