Change Of Trains.

The AdUertiser has been interviewing subor-
dinates around the Boston depots, about the
change of trains on the Boston roads, finds that
they know nothing about it, and rests satisfied
that no change is to be made. The Aduertiser
should go to headquarters if it wants informa-
tion, and should remember that Manager
Hatch and Superintendent Furber are likely
to know things somewhat in advance of their
Portland representatives, and that it is much
more instructive and edfying to consult people
who know than those who don't know. The
change of trains will be made as announced by

self TO the things around him. This ehai acter
in the Psalm thinks God such as he, because
he thinks everything else such as he. This
truth is shown in language; we transfer the
emotion produced in US to the object producing
it; that which awakens the emotion of beauty
we call beautiful, of fear, fearful. So different
persons see things in the line of their own
thoughts, and color the objects around them
with their own special taste or pursuit. Ange
los Last Judgment" has often failed to touch
the heart, and the sweetest music to some ears
is but noise. 70 those who crucife1 Christ
how different he seemed than to the Marys
who followed him! But the earth is not all de-
formity, nor men all evil. A mind al peace
with God sees good through all. The different
views of God arise from this fact that men
look at Him through the medium of their own
passions. God viewed by spirit of selfish
ness is not a God of mercy, and this is why the
sinner does not see God as he is. Here the
great question must be ved,-"How can the
soul at enmty with God be led to see His ten
derness?' The man of the world cannot see
this religion of Christ as it is, but sees in it on
ly himself; everything is distorted by his own
distempered vision.
If, then, everythingis is modified by our own
way OF viewing it, how important is radical
change. Would we taste that ineffable joy and
glory eternal, then must we look TO Him who
restored sight to the blind and unstopped deaf
ears, that we may see Him as He is.

SATUaDAY-State vs.. Edward Gould. Appeal
from the Municipal Court upon complaint for
search and seizure Of Intoxicating liquors. The Off
GERS found and seized four barrels of liquid known
as "wheelers Bitters." The respondent claimed
that they were not intoxicating. DR.. Bartlett the
State Assayer, testified to analysis that he had
made in which he found the bitters to contain 161
per cent. of alcohol and from to per cent of gsn-
tian. The respondent claimed that the drugs OF
which the bitters composed rendered it impos-
sble for person to drink sufficient quantity to
get intoxicated before he would become sick and
throw it up. Ono witness however testified that he
had seen drink twenty glasses in the course OF
one afternoon, and they had no NOR effect on him
than so much water. What that mans intestines
were made of did not appear for the same witness
had testified five minutes before that he drank two
more glasses and it had cathartc effect upon him.
Several witnesses testified to drinking more or less
of them and they were not intoxicating
A bottle containing about pint of the bitters was
put into the and the jury took it to their room
thoy evidently did not think it much of a beverage
or else the medicinal effects testified to restrained
them for when they brought it back there was only
about hall of it gone. Verdict not guilty

Another Frog on Commercial Street.

EAV& Ou SchhuhcTCtdA Strcct.
Yesterday the Boston s. Maine put their frog
in on Commercial street. They have had
their track up to the street for some time, and
every one has been thinking that the frog
would not be put in. But yesterday morning.
at half past five squad of workmen gathered
on Commercial street near the foot of High
street, Roadmaster Smith of tie Boston &
Maine was on the spot, and in few moments
it was we'll known that business was meant.
locomotive soon arrived from the Grand
Trunk accompanied by twenty workmen. By
this time there were fifty men at work tearing
up the track and preparing to put the frog and
switch in place.
Superintendent Furber of the Boston So
Maine, arrived about ten o'clock and gave
some directions in regard to the work. Word
soon spread about town that the men were at
work. As the news went the crowd also went
for the scene of action, expecting to SOC row.
But they were sadly disappointed as no one
opposed the work. 1t went on so rapidly that
by noon the track was all straight and a train
passed over it. The whole was done in re-
markably quiet manner. Not single railroad
man except those having charge knew any
thing of it until it was nearly completed.
The locomotive wa, kept on the track all
night. During the evening there were a num-
Der of men lying around on the Lumber near
the engine, but of course none of them knew
whether there were any men watching the
frog or not.
The track that has been laid from CONNER
cial street to the Walker House as well as the
frog is narrow gauge. Thus the Grand Trunk
cannot run up to the Walker House. But to
remedy this the cars of the Boston & Maine
are to run down to the Grand Trunk for pas
sengers, and then stop at the Walker House,
as at way station. This arrangement will
not go into effect for some weeks

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Passenger Attempts to Murder n ship,s
Crew-The Mate Fatally Injured.

RoCKLAND, May "a "A murderous affray c.
cured ON board schooner Annie B., of St.
John, N. B., off Monhegan last night The
Annie b. was bound from Portland for St..
John with old railroad iron, and before she
sailed man came on board and wanted to
work his passage, which was permitted. At
II O'Clock last night, when the mates watch
called, the passenger, who was in the captains
watch, came aft and suddenly discharged a
revolver at the captain, the ball grazing his
head. The captain run into the cabin and got
his revolver, called the mate and going on deck
met the man coming aft again and discharged
several shots at him without apparent effect
and was knocked down. The mate, Solomon
Camp, coming out of the companion way, was
struck terrible blow on the back of the head
with an iron bar, which fractured his skull
The william then fired pistol shot into his
head. The only other man of the crew was
shot at without injury and fled up the rigging,
where he remained during the affray. The
captain exhausting his revolver, was pursued
to the cabin by the assalant, where struggle
took place between them which was renewed on
deck, the captain being reinforced by the cook,
aspunky boy. Failing in their efforts to get
the man overheard, they retreated to the cabin
The assailant then cut the halyards and sheets
letting the sails down by the run, and getting
into the boat cut it loose and left the vessel
AT daylight signals OF distress were set and
New York vessel put a man ON board the dis
abled craft and she was brought into this port
this afternoon. Surgical assistance was rem
dered to the mate who will probably die The
captain is not seriously injured. 1t is thought
the assault was made with the intention of
robbing the captain of his freight money,
which the passenger knew he had on board be-
fore sailing
