Not long since, worthy merchant of
Evansville left for New York to pur-
chase goods. During his absence, his
wife, to whom ne had been married
about two years, gave evidence Of aber-
ration Of the mind. One night she
screamed out and grew worse. The
next day friends were in the room dis
cussing whether to telegraph of her con-
dition to her husband or not. She turned
to them and remarked, "You need not
telegraph him. The good Lord has en-
abled me to apprise him of my condi-
tion." But they telegraphed to the hus-
band, and in very short time he was
at home. The husband says that the
night during which she screamed out he
dreamed that she was in the condition
he found her, and when the telegram
came he was fully aware OF her condi-
tion. Can any one account for this cir

Last evening, the citizens living west Of the
Bnghton House and on Harrison turnpike
were surprised. by seeing a force Of one hun
dfed men at work vigorously tearing up the
earth, laying rails and cross ties and con-
ntuctjng railroad at an astonishingiy rapid
rate. Investigation proved that the track was
being laid by order of the Cincinnati ard
Westwood Railroad Company, of which MIR. VIM.
= Davis is President and Manager-in Chief.
For some time work has been progressing on
peher parts Of the line, but the plan OF building
he road across the Harrison pike, at the pro-
SDsed point, some distance west OF the Brighton
House, was seriously opposed by Mr.. J. B. Nor
tis, who owned property in that vicinity, and
ky the Turnpike company. In order to pre-
Sont any trouble from ipjunctions by
f1zese parties the work was commenced
Ae O'Clock last night, considerable
jiisssnoe from the point at which the road
erosses the turnpike, and the track laid and
he work completed entirely across the road
sid. considerable distance beyond, thus
n6ectually preventing any trouble from this
cause. Fully one thousand feet Of track were
Md during the night.
This roaa is to run from the Brighton turn
uike to Cheviot, and 10 to be thoroughbred
harruw aaugo, with most complete and perfect
sppliances and appurtenances, and will be a
HIeat convenience to people in that region.

The great depletion OF coin in New

Saturday evening the banks Of New York
City held only $9,37S, 200 of coin whereas
one month previous they held over &c.,
0,OO0. One year ago, Sept. u, 1874,
they held s1s, $50, 100, and two years ago,
Sept. 10, 1878, they held $50, ,483, 800. There
has also been proportionate depletion
in the stock OF coin in the Boston banks.
Thus ON Sept. IA, 1874, tdey held $2,670,-
600, but on Sept. 9, 1875. they held only
$S78, 900. Thus the aggregate Of coin in
the New York and Boston banks is
nearly $13, 900 less than IL was one
year ago. The average amount Of coin
held by the New York banks In 1874 was
