BOTrOM OF CANAL OUT.-As the II o'clock
train from Washington this morning, was pass
lug under the aqueduct at Four Mile Run a
large space 10 the bottom of the canal gave
way aud large body Of water rushed down
carrying away the heads of the arches which
pass under the turnpike at that point. The
accident caused great excitement on the train
aud there was a regular stampede ofthc paSseu
rcrs thercirom Although the train succeed
ed in getting safely shrou III and came on to
tins city, most of the passengers preferred
walking through the arch They report the
ground as badly cracked on the lower side
Of the canal, aud the eastern pier Of
the aqucduct in shaky condition. The
track OF the w. l. \ r. Il. is, as yet, all
right, but great care is necessary IN passing
through the arch. At 3 clock this afternoon
the water on both sides Of the break Was pour
lug through in a perfect torrent, and looked US
though it would soon empty this level Of the
canal. The break is about one hundred feet
long, aud will, We fear. cause quite protract-
cd suspension of canal navigation. Numbers
of persous from this city went up to the scene
of the accident this afternoon.

inst, George Faunce, young man about
20 years old, in the employ Of w. r. KIM
ball, while attempting to drive five year
old bull from one yard to another, was ru-
rlously attacked and fatally gored. His
sister, hearing his cries, ran 10 his assist
ance, endangering her own life without
avail. Mr.. a. II. Cobb, n near neiQbbor.
being called, entered the yard with pitch
fork, and amer desperate encounter drove
the bull from the yard into the street. Drs.
Blake and Campbell wsrc summoned as
soon as possible, but the young man could
not be saved he died Sunday morning
abont O'Clock. The excitement through
out the village was intense, and although
Mr.. Kimball was absent from home, it was
unanimously decided that the bull should
be shot, which act was performed by Mr..
John Il. Ellis. The animal was notorious
ly Of cross disposition, and ought to have
been killed years ago.

thin; akin TO what We saw this night that
moved his pen 10 write,
"or sweet Delinda's speaking face"
On the shoulders of one young lady on the
stage, was indeed a speaking face. All
present could see there was no need of wi
va voco" to express on that ever varying
dial plate Of the mind,
"Thoughts that breathe and words that burn"
Bot in addition TO all this was a voice rare
ly oqualled in cloarness and beauty, as
might in Justice be said of other actors on
the occasion. The theatrical talent display
ed by the actors in this comedy could not
fail, We believe, to interest and agreeably
entertain an audience of the highest char
actcr. Efforts of this kind TO divert the
minds of persons necessarily deprived of
liberties they once enjoyed, must have a
favorable tendency. Great ms may be the
variety of mental ailments, there must be
few If any cases where restraint upon the
freedom of tho patient is not, under the
most favorable circumstances, painful. The
universal feeingi of the race finds expires
sion in those stirring words of the "Mar
settles Hymn
"oh, liberty! can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous name7"
As much as possible should this feeling lie
respected, and in the treatment of the in
sane every indulgence compatible with the
interest aud safely Of all concerned should
be granted We are glad to learn that this
principle is prominent in the admiuistra-
ton of AFFAIRS at this institution. DIR. VIM.
II. Rockwell among the last acts Of his
life, recommended 10 the trustees the APP
pointment Of DIR. Draper as his successor.
From personal observation and reliable in
formation, we deem it an appointment fit
to be made, and not only proof Of the ex-
cellent judgment of the former supern-
tendcnt, but also evidence Of his good will
towards the institution he had nurtured
from its infancy or beginning, up TO its
present magnitude and importance. In
sanity is becoming fashionable and cases
alarmingly frequent. The president of
Psychological institution in England has
recently made the following statement:
"a great wave of insanity Is advancing,
and statistics show the increase has been
notably great during the last two years"
The erection Of immense buildings and
their frequent enlargement, in various
parts Of our own country, for this purpose,
tells the sad story for us as plainly and
truthfully as any Psychological institute
could do so. Ten millions OF bricks will
be required to make the additional room
needed for the present large Asylum at
Worcester, Mass. H.. ID.

Tue WOMEN MoBBED IN CLEVELAND.
A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch says: At
last the result roreboded has come, and the
jeers and insults of Chicago, Dayton, Will
Transport and Cincinnati have their climax
In actual violence in Cleveland. On Thurs.
day afternoon, Is or 20 women were at
their singing and praying work on the
west side of the river followed by the usual
crowd, which increased in numbers and
noise to such an extent that at . O'Clock the
women turned 10 retreat. Al once they
were attacked by the mob With blows and
kicks. The small force Of police was over
powered, and not until several relays were
called aud the police superintendent arriv-
ed could the mob be kept back. The la
dies were finally driven TO their homes in
carriages, none Of them seriously injured.
The region where this occurred is inhabit
ed chiefly by low class of Germans, and
has always given work II the police. Not
wlhstanding these rude experiences, the
women sailed forth Friday, in greater
numbers than ever, aud yisite ! many sa-
looms, under the protection of the police.
A band assembled at the Lorain street
church. near the scene of the disturbance,
to pray. \ great crowd assembled in front
Of the building, and as the ladies were lcav-
ing for their homes they were hooed and
jccred at by She excited mob. The police,
assisted by number Of genlle,len, escort
ed the ladies to place Of safety. A police
man attempted TO arrest one OF tho roughs,
and fight started, in which the police were
Obliged to use clubs aud made several ar
rests. The German brewers organized a
procession Of lager-beor wagons, loaded
with beer-kegs, on which sat men drink
ing beer. The women obtained many sig
natures TO the citizens pledge, and aroused
a general public sympathy. The Clcve-
landers are much excited, and declare that
if the women will continue their labors,
they shall have physical support enough.
Street praying began in Cincinnati, Thurs
day, without causing any difficulty.

addressed the Young prince in the name of

upon having attained his majority. The
prince, in his reply, returned thanks to his
countrymen fol their faithful remembrance
of the late emperor, and in conclusion said !:
despite the confidence inspired by the
loyalty of Mcmahon, an irresistible cur
rent OF public opinion has pronounced in
favor of plebiscite. l am ready to accept
the verdict" Among the prominent
Frenchmen present, were Olivier, and
Rouher, and the Duke dc Grammont.

The INDIAN FAmNE.-In dozen lines
from Calcutta is summed up terrible tale
OF starvation and distress. At this Distance
we fail to realize the rapid strides with
which famine makes its advance in the
East. The dreadful scourge overspreads
nearly the whole of the vast province Of
Bengal, and Sir r. Temple reports that in
the district of Soopolc, Bhangulpore, 07O,-
900 out of a total population OF 81, 900 are
starving. In the Mudhoobance district
100000 out Of population of 700, 900 are
starving. In Darbungah 100000 people are
in similar condition, and in Taipore,
South Tirhoot, hunger is reaching all the
lower Glasses, The authorities are making
noble exertions to cope with the atfiicton,
but they need all the aid that can be afford
ed them.

No DIsREsPECT INTENDED. AT the COM
mencement OF the County Court in one of
the counties OF this Slate, the Sheriff felt
that, although the existence of Supreme
Being was not directly recognized In the
constitution, II should be in the proceedings
of that Court. He probably also had In
his mind at the same time, the adherence
to an old cumbersome common law practice
and system Of pleadings that keeps the
courts of Vermont submerged in fog and
gloom through which they wade in the adj
ministration OF justice. He therefore adj
ded TO his proclamation opening the court,
after the words call persons having cause;
or matters pending therein draw near and
they shall be heard" the significant addi-
zion land God save the people," The adj
dition, and the tone of voice in which II
was uttered, electrified the audience and
caused an audible smile to pervade the
house, even relaxing the solemn features
OF the Court. We Know that the Sheriff
intended no disrespect 10 the court in thus
calling on higher power to save the peo-
pie from the impending dangers of the oc-
casion.-RmiGnd Herald.

lNFLATIoNIsTs AHEAD.-The action of
the National House of Representatives was
stronger for imitation than had been
generally anticipated. After rejecting two
amendments to the Ways and Means Com.
mittee's bill, one (Mr. Dawes's) limiting
the total United States notes to S356, 900, OOO
and the other to $3.50, ZOO, 900, the 800, OOO,-
600 bill was put through by large MAORI
ty. This is not so much imitation as has
been demanded by many Western mem
bers, who look upon the bill as a comprom-
Use measure, but it is, we believe, altogeth-
er against the judgment of the majority of
the well-informed and disinteresled part
of our business commcnity. We trust
that the action of the Senate will be better
advised; and, il it should not be, that Il
Presidential veto will ares this back ward
and downward policy. The press and the
mercantile classes and all who compre-
bend the danger of the situation-should
speak out plainly and promptly.-Boston
Journal.
