Grand Trunk, on the 18th, in Bethel,
Me. Number six freight from Port
land and a tie train special from,
Gorham, N. H. met each other on q
curve, too near when discovered to
avoid a collision, and meeting with
almost full force, both engines. with
their respective trains, were badly
wrecked. A large number of men
employed upon the tie train were in
box cars with the ties and several are
badly injured, though the full extent
is not now known. Captain Nathan
Walker, in charge Of the train, is re-
ported badly hurt. The cause of the
disaster is not fully known, but is
owing to some mistake in dispatch
ing the trains.

Tax Titles-An Important Decision.

In the recent term of court held
at Waterford a case involving the
validity of tax titles was tried before
Judge Mahcr. A plantation in St..
Paul's, belonging to the plsintiff, wa-
sold last year for non-paynent of
taxes, and bought by the defendant.
The plaintiff claimed that the law had
not been complied with, iu that the
boundaries were not CORRECTLY given
in the advertisement. Judge Maher,
in his charge to the jury, fully sus-
taincd the tax law, but charged that
the effect Of it being to deprive per-
sons Of their property for less than a
fair consideration, it was necessary
that persons claiming under tag
titles should bo required to show that
the law had been strictly complied
with. If the giving of the wrong
boundaries was calcnlatcd in the
opiuiou Of the jury to mislead parties
Interested, end lead them to suppose
that the property advertised was not
theirs, then the plointiff was entitled
to a verdict. The jury returned a
verdict for the defendant. On mo-
tion the plaintiff was granted ten
days from October 20 in which to
make up and serve case and serve
notice of new trial. Entry of judg.
ment was stayed till the determine.
ton OF .uch notice.

Piano Playing by MuChinsry.

: Human Ingenuity has perfected {
machinn that makes it possible for an,
one with capacity enough to turn {;
grinds.one to perform the mos. di:i
cult Mu.ic for the piano. The ma
chine is not myth, says the Cincin
natl Cnmueroiai. We saw it only
yesterday. It haa ju.t been ,impor.
ted from Paris, and was attached tc
tho piano only tho day before. 1t
played selections from "Barbcr Of
Saviilc," "Faust," "Taunhauscr, -
and other operas. Indeed, its capaci
is unlimited. 1t can play on sight
any piece Of music, and its playing
cannot DO distinguished from that OF
living player. 1t is capable also of
playing on M organ, or. any instru
iucut having keys similar to those on
the piano. Another instrument of
the same kind, tho only Que in the
city, has already taken tho place Of
an organiat at one Of our churches.
The machine is marvel Of cumpli.
cation. It occupies a posi-
'ion in front Of The Keyboard of tho
Yiano, and extends from above the
keyboard to the floor. Directly
over the koys of the riano arc keys
corresponding to the piano keys.
These arc the fingers of the machine.
Taey are as many rs the keys, and
tbns ;hc machiue has an advantage
over the human player. How these
fingers arc made to work i the pro-
b!cm, which we can only family iudi.
cate in this cscrip,ion,
The top of the machine is about
ono foot in width. IT has in the
centre two rollers, which arc moved
by crank. These carry the music
through, and as it passes, the piano
plays it. The music il on paper, but
it is not written. The notes arc
made by cutting square holes throhgh
the paper. AS these holes pass
certain point they allow hammer to
pass through, and Che stroke OF that
hammer is Communicated to it's own
key in the piano. Elch key has It's
hammer. 1t only requires that these
holes be cut AZ proper intervals to
strike any number Of keys in any
given series.
The machine has pedal arrange
Iuent which connects with the piano
and enables tho player to have the
effects produced by an ordinary play
cr. 1t also has an arrangement to
change the force Of the touch
1t il French Instrument, and
has been Known but d short time.
Tie manufacturer has orders beyoud
his capacity to fill. The two machines
in this city will doubtless attract
much attention.
