Boston. Jan. Is. 1873.

BosToN, Jan. Is, 1878.
Editor Rutland Herald For the
past week the Music Hall has been filled
with sights and sounds odd and wierd
enough to arouse the dormant tones of
the "Great Organ" into an alarm of
despair. In other words, the second an
nual exhibition of the Massachusetts
Poultry Association has, this day, closed
and its directors and members may well
plume themselves upon the grandest dis
play of feathered bipeds that has ever
taken place upon this side of the world
The great hall has been cleared of it's
seats, the organ yelled with green baize
and the show cages arranged in rows
running the extreme length of the hall,
as well as around the first balcony where
two similar rows were to be seen. Upon
the top of each cage was placed some
rare plant, noticeable either for foliage or
flower, which had most charming eff
feet as the observer looked up or down
upon this miniature exotic forest. Upon
the platform Immediately in front of the
organ was broad promenade bordered
on the two sides by tall camelias and
acacias, in full bloom, under the shade
of which stood the cages containing the
doves, singing and tropical birds, as well
as stuffed animals and preserved speci-
mems of the winged kingdom. The
whole appearance of the hall was al
tered, nothing being allowed to remind
the spectator of its ordinary aspect ex-
cept that the bronze Beethoven still re-
manned upon the platform, and seemed
ever in a reverie of mute horror as the
shrill note of some Cochin Chanticleer
or the ''quack, quack" of a Muscovy
Lothario struck his ear, atuned to the
harmony of sounds alone. The number
OF entries for competition has been about
one thousand, an increase of one hundred
ana nifty over last year Premiums
amounting to upwards of $2,500 have
been awarded. First and second prizes
were given for the finest disnlav of
Cochin, Dorking, Houdan, Brabma.
Bantam and Spanish fowls; Muscovv
Augsburg and crested ducks; China
and Hong Kong geese swans, birds and
smaller animals The exhibition has
been grand success and has afforded
increased encouragement and interest
not only to amateurs but to professional
stock-raisers as well
just as stable keepers and horse own
ers were congratulating themselves upon
the re-establishment of the health of
their charges and the quadrupeds them

REVIVAL OF COMMERCE. The leading
features of Mr.. Shellabarger's bill for
the revival of American commerce,
which was considered in the national
House of Representatives, yesterday,
are the establishment of a commission,
consisting of five cabinet officers, for the
collection and distribution of statistics
of commerce, and the payment of boun-
ties at a specified rate per ton on one
hundred thousand tons of shipping, to
be constructed annually for five years.
The bill is made up with that submitted
by Secretary Boutwell, last session as a
basis, and during the several stages of
progress and perfection in the commit
tee, has absorbed several other schemes
for the same general purpose. Mr.
Shellabarger has prepared an able and
elaborate speech on the bill, and it is
expected that Messrs. Dawes and Gar
field, with Potter and one or two other
prominent democrats, will sustain the
measure.

SToKEs.-Stokes states that new points
in his favor are constantly coming out.
Since his conviction he says he has re-
ceiyed many letters from persons in the
Grand Central Hotel, offering new evil
dence, which is very favorable. The
course of the jury who convicted him
he thinks was all wrong. Some of them
said before the trial that he ought to be
hanged. The motion for new trial
will be made probably Thursday.

SIGNAL SERVICE. = The Postmaster
General has made arrangements with
the Signal Service Bureau of the War
Department to transmit to all postoffi-
ces that can be reached from the seve-
raj points of distribution daily, by mail,
the weather reports issued by the Signal
Service Office, in order to reach these
localities not easily accessible by the
daily newspapers. These notices. the
Postmasters are instructed to display
publicly in their offices, in frames sup
piled for the purpose, so that all the
community, agricultural and CONNER
cial, may have the benefit of the infor-
nation they contain. The experience
of the past year has prov ed the relia-
bility and great service Of these weather
reports, and to the farming population
at some seasons of the year they will be
exceedingly valuable.

Our police force is to be increased
the new Board of Trustees having deci-
ded to that effect. This is as it should
be- Heretofore there has been defcien-
cies on the part of our policemen.
Sam Lucas, the convict who escap-
ed from the Jail in this village on thurs
day night of last week, is ian experience
ed hand" in that kind of business, mas
much as he always ''makes it his way"
to get free The evening before his es-
cape there were two of our townsmen
accompanied the jailer to the Jail, as he
carried the felon his supper, when Lucas
expressed to them very emphatically that
he fshould ''make his escape that night
and they lad better look out for him :"
But little attention was paid to the re-
mark by the jailer, as he supposed every
thing to be secure, accordingly he man
acled the prisoner and left the jail. In
the morning it was found that Lucas had
made his words true and his escape, but
left his coat and hat in the Jail, conse-
quently he must be making an uneasy
flight, but probably with his shrewdness,
he is supplied with those necessary arti
Cleo of wearing apparel ere this.

train was sent for from Rutland and also
one from Bellows Falls, operating very
successfully at both ends of the wreck,

Bean, roadmaster, at their head. We do
not learn as any blame was attached to
any one The evening mixed and night

was cleared Sunday morning at about
: o'clock At the time of the accident
Mr. Wright, the Station Agent, was
standing on the platform who immedi-
ately, upon seeing the cars off the iron,
the snow and splinters flying about, re-
tired very suddenly within, regarding his
safety there much more than the pleas
ure of witnessing and mixing with the
performance outside, and fortunately no
one on the train was hurt.

NEwBURG N. Y, April "a, 1873.
On Sunday, the I'd day OF February last the hor-
riby mutated remains OF q man were picked up
the Hudson River Railroad at Fishkl station,
opposite this city. From pools OF blood which
discovered on the track 1t was supposed that the
man had been first struck by up train, killed and
thrown upon the down track and then that
down train struck the corpse and threw it where
it was found. The head was crushed beyond an
possibility OF recognition, and the body was ter.
riby mangled. The

The manner In which Dir. John Agnew came in

When the remains were found on sunday morn
