dren, one a little boy five months old. and the
other little girl two years and a half old, on
the morning of Sept. 10Th, wrapped the litte
boy in a wooden blanket, carried it to the bay
not many rods away, and threw the child into
the water Upon her return home she went
into convulsions, and to all appearances does
not realize that crime has been committed.
The body has been recovered, and the mother
sent to Wiscasset jail.
Wednesday morning Mrs. B. J. Hill, resid-
ing on Goif street, Auborn. found that some
one had cut a piece out of the barn door in the
night. Beside the opening she found her trusty
watch dog standing guard, his head covered
with blood. On examination it was found that
som, one had thrust knife into the animars
neck. 1t is inferred that some rascal attempt
ed to break into the premises, cut a hole i'll the
door and was attacked by the dog, which he
knitted and then fled, finding the dog was maxi

JOLIET l. NORTHERN INDIANA RAILROAD.

A final decree Was made yesterday IN the lore
closure suit OF Julius Wadsworth, Trustee, and
others vs. The Joliet & Northern Indiana Rail-
road Company and the Michigan Central Rail-
road Company, finding that on the 10th Of July,
1854, the Joliet T. Northern Indiana Railroad
Company issued son bonds for S1,000 each, st.
cured by trustdeed dated Sept. z, 1854. and
covering all the property OF the road from
5en
Central Railroad Company for $4,000 year,
and the bonds we're sold on the faith Of such
lease.
These bonds fell due July 18, 1874, but have
not been paid The principal security for tho
bonds Is the lease above mentioned, and 1t is
highly important that such lease should be left
in full force. The Joliet & Northern Indiana
Railroad is insolVent, and the only way to get
any payment on such bonds Is to appropriate
the rentals for such purpose.
Joliet d Northern Indiana Railroad should
transfer to the Trustee, Wadsworth, the lease
Of the Michigan Central Railroad Company, Or
deposit 1t with E. F. Eames, the Receiver Of the
thirty eight bonds Of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad in it, possession. The Receiver
Il authorized to sell these thirty eight bonds
and pay the proceeds to the bondholders, and
also collect the rents due under the lease, and
make reports from time to time to the Court
to the Receiver, "a landlord, pay him within ten
doys, $4,000 now due for the year ending Jan.
10, 1876, and thenceforth On the 10th Of July ard
january alternately pay the future rent in semi
annual installments. The Injunction heretofore
existing to restrain the defendants
from taking any steps to annul
the lease, and to prevent the Michigan Central
Road from paving any rent to the Joliet s.
Indiana Road, is continued in full force, AID
made permanent until the bonds are paid.
Leave IS also given to bring any suits necesSa y.
Finally, an appeal is allowed to either party. IN
giving a bond of $1,000 to secure costs. II
supefsedeas is wished By the Michigan Central
Road, it must give bond In the sum OF $780,
600, and II the Joliet & Northern Indiana Road
wants q like writ 1t must furnish a bond for
$100.00l

CHICAGO, June S.--In your issue Of yesterday
I read letter to Mayor Hoyne, signed " suf'
fering Father" Iagree in every respect with
the writer of that letter, and with him dcnounce
the bad effects of gambling on any community
where It is permitted. That evil leads to other
and greater vices. The businessmen who visit
these houses naturally by the surroundings and
those they meet indulge in all sorts of dissipa-
ton. Their characters and principles soon be-
come changed, aud in the end they are either
confirmed drunknrds or rakes, lost to all honor.
As man Of business, l would not trust OF have
any dealings with one whom knew gambled.

than one
/ also express wish that some steps may be
taken to tile closing Of these bells. don't see
why it cannot be done. The law is very plain In
those who have the authority to enforce it. The
matter rests entirely in their hands, and il they
have any desire they can readily and without
much trouble put stop to this nefarious husi-
ness. know that only express the wish Of
every law-abiding citizen when ask for the cll-
forccment OF this law. We have our rights, We
pay for them, and, without some steps are taken,
/ for one will use my utmost endeavors to ascer-
tain the reason why those who have tho
power refuse to respect tue wishes Of the pub
forcement Of this law will take some time. But
what Of that! We have an efficient police, and
with little exertion on their part it can be
done. Tic authorities in Philadelphia four or
fire years ago put stop to it, and since then
they have not been troubled. It is true they
had considerable trouble, and had to send sew
cral gamblers to State Prison for one OF two
wears before they succeeded. The gamblers
knew that the authorities were determined to
have no gambling, and, like the Arabs, they
folded their tents and took their departure.
Undoubtedly number OF them are here ply
ing their business Chicago, for the past five
Years, has been fine field for al classes Of adj
yenturcrs. Wickedness and vice OF all kinds
and descriptions have had full swing here. Now
trust, for the sake Of all law-ahiding citizens,
that immediate steps will be taken, and all Of
these houses closed, and in such manner that
there will be no danger Of their opening again.
Raid them twenty times 4 day, Unnecessary sta
tiou policemen at their doors. It will drive their
customers away, and then they can deal to empty
chairs. They can't pluck OF rob them. Begin
with the Hankins Brothers; they have received
more than all the rest put together. In your
paper OF May 81, read an article In regard to
Won Hoilen. Some citizen had suggested that
he should have immunity from arrest, and re-
turn and expose his gambling operations
without any delay. Won Hollen would only be
too glad to return, and explain to the satisfac-
ton Of the public who got the city money.

"LoSDos, June 80 q. m.-Sir ". Vernon
Harcourt's letter to the Times and the Tines
editorial remarks On the subject Of the Mer-
chant Shipping bill have called forth pun
gent article from the Saturday Reviesa. The
Rtaa<,o opposes the stand taken editorially by
the Times on opinions expressed in Hfstori0u's
letter, and ridicules the idea Of Canadian
Legislation overriding that Of the Imperial Par
Lament, even with respect to matters pertain
ing to Canada alone. It claims that home legis-
lation must be, and is, paramount to all other
legislation"
