and the engine was compelled to back up

discovered before it had gone Il very great
distance. The train backed up very rapid

were consequently not prepared for it, the
result being that one lady and one gentle
man were thrown over the seats and quite
seriously injured One gentleman had his
head forced through window, and others
were slightly injured. One gentleman from

Another severe snow storm visited this
section yesterday, continuing throughout
the day, and accompanied by strong wind
during the forenoon Its effects were not
as disastrous, however, as the storm of last
week, and not much snow fell. 1t, how
ever, gives us good sleighng for " Thanks
giving and the day will be much more en-
joyable ON that account, as the day before
yesterday was such as soon to melt what lit
tlesnow there was on the ground. No con-
tnuaton of the storm is expected, at
present at least. and should our winters
supply be melted out to us in this way we
cannot reasonably complain.
Most of the trains yesterday were in
nearly on time with the exception of the
Boston mail, due here at 2.20 pm, which
arrived at Abs. The Eastern at night was
forty minutes late, and the Saratoga in the
afternoon was thirty minutes behind time.
The Northern train, due here at LAO this
morning is three hours late.

senator EdmUnds' Views on the
Cuban Question.

The st. Adams Adcertisej' of Monday
thus announces the views Of Senator Ed
munds on the Cuban question; Senator
Edmunds goes back to Washington Mon
day morning, and we are glad to say goes
back, as might be confidently expected of
so excellent lawyer, thoroughly disguised
with the absurd war talk of the last ten
days. Filibusters, fugitive Cubans, healthy
fellows who have filled Brooklyn boarding
houses for five years with the warlikc
smoke of their cigarettes, and shrill cheers
for the beautiful isle, whose freedom they
would win with drawer and better blood
than their own, will get no help or sympa-
thy from him in their effort to embroll us
In Cuban war Our country has been
used to fit out hostile expeditions, to re-
cruit forces, and to collect contributions,
and it will need something more than the
tact that some of this mongrcl crew of pi-
rates have been caught at pirates work,
and met pirates fate to make so cool and
sensible man as Senator Edmunds "cry
havoc and let slip the dogs of war; Scna-
tor Edmunds will be with Senators Sher-
man, Anthony, Wilson, Sumner and Nor
ton, who have already pronounced conser-
vativc views on this Cuban question 1t is
a matter for satisfaction that so serious II
matter of war is not waged on the dictum
of sensational New York papers or anti
administration politicians, sedulously seek
ing for something that will float their sink
ing bodies. These Senators will be in full
sympathy with our able humane, soldier
President whose conduct so far justies
the belief that he is all that is imputed to
him in the following words of one of his
friends; " Whatever those who are clam
oring for war in the newspapers and in the
street may desire, those who know the
most about war will do the most TO avoid
it, and can assure you to my own knOwl-
edge that no one breads war more than
General Grant. They may call him mill
tary President, who is anxious to bring on
war, but he will leave no honorable expe-
dent untred to maintain peace lie be-
lieyes that war should be the last resort of
republics, as it is said to be of kings" In
view of the nonsense of Sunfower Cox, it
may prove fortunate that the popular
branch of Congress will be balanced in this
manner by the more conservative body,
and thus prevented from rushing without
due reflection into foreign war
