An exchange gives the following: ::
1.-The railroad company, at Trenton. Mo-,
recently raised their rates to $71 for u
through car east. This created conSd-
cradle opposition and excitement, and
the Changers secured very low rates
from Chiliicothe. twenty-four miles from
Trenton. The Grangars and farmers
have turned out en- masse WITH their
teams and wagons, hauling wheat and
oats to Chillicothe. They made pro-
cession of one hundred and fifty vehicles.

At Sacramento a week or so ago some fell
low at menagerie gave a piece of tobacco
to an elephant, which caused the animal to
give way to fit of terrible anger. 1t seized
the nearest object upon which to wreak his
vengeance, and this proved to be the eleven
years old son of Mr.. Ii. w. Luhrs. The
great beast wound his trunk about the boy
and squeezed him so tightly as to break his
right arm between the elbow and the wrist,
and to severely bruise his body. Being
compelled to release his hold of the boy, the
enraged animal, as soon as the lad was
dropped, again attempted to seize him. and
in the effort came near taking the youth 8
head off,
1t was on all hands considered more FORUM
ate that the animal did not cast him down and
trample him to DEATH and also fortunate that
the angered brute did not run a-muca in the
crowd as elephants have done when tobacco
has been given them. The boy was not dan
gerou.ly hurt. Such a trick may have
seemed very funny to the wretch who played
it, but it would have been more generally sat
isfactory had the elephant given him the hug
instead of injuring an innocent boy

Seeing that the Company was not inclined to
keep faith with him, Mr.. Bridgeford, Tues

result of that consultation was evidenced in
the seizures made as above, in order to make
the Company come to time. The Comptroller
of New York state, Mr.. Nelson X. Hopkins,
has been restrained from paying the Company.
Mr.. Eaton, the Superintendent, has been en-

the matter is finally adjusted, and the claim

The New York Tribune says of Mrs.


Tilton's testimony before the Committee :
Mrs Tilton's testimony before the Ply
mouth Committee is a Misunderstanding his
tory and its ingenious candor is as plain
as its pathos. Whatever men may Still
say about the general issue, they will be-
lieve this woman's account OF her hus-
bands conduct, and her own suiferings.
That at least is moi the ingenious effort OF
cunning guilt 1t is picture from the
life.
Mrs. Tilton absolutely denies a / Grim
inaity or thought of criminality with Mr.
Beecher. She declares that her husband
had frequently compelled her, when SICK
to COPY. or from his dictation write con-
fessions, which she hardly understood, and
in her despairing condition Of mind. cared
little about. Her painful replies to the
Committees questions reveal jealous
husband accusing her of infdelitles with
different men and of eXerting a sensual
effect upon all; threatening her; locking
her up declaring himself ashamed of her
when among his fine friends; full of sell
fish exactions; indifferent to her wants !;
cruel in her illness; forcing dsreputable
women into her society till sometimes she
fled, for peace, to the graves OF her chill
dren avowing to her his right to commit
adultery on his lecturing tours whenever
he chose, and describing to her cases Of
his indulgence; seducing an inmate OF the
family and yet in all seasons and almost
ali places dribbling out his charges of dis
honor against his wife. 1t is a horrible,
monstrous revelation and the most skep-
teal who read it, with whatever reserve
they may still regard the wilc's denials OF
her own guilt, will not believe it possible
that she has invented this recital of her
husbands
