Rev. Henry Morgan, of Boston, de-
liyered his lecture on bachelors" ETC.,
to fair sized house last Friday evening.
The lecture was q rambling mass Of in
coherencies, and every one left the house
dlsgusted, not so much, perhaps, by rea-
son of lack of merit in the lecture itself,
as for contempt for the manner Of bring
ing the lecturer here. One Green E.
Griswold, DESTROYS of turning IN honest
penny, conceived the idea Of procuring a
lecturer and giving series Of lectures, in
different towns in the State, and to make
his enterprise appear legitimate, he re-
presented himself as agent OF the WcSt
Randolph Lecture Committee, of which
he is not a member. The Committee were
entirely ignorant of his movement, and
naturally feel indignant at such unprln-
cipled deception. Woodstock was the
only place where the lecture was a sue
cess, so that financially the affair would
have been a failure except that Mr.. G.
laiied to pay the lecturer for his services,
not even remuneratins him for his ex-
penses. Not every "raw, country
fed" town can claim man with this much
cheek, or disregard to self-respect, or to
the respect of his neighbors.

dents that has ever happened in YER

Wednesday night of last week. AS
the 10 p. m. express over the Harlem
extension neared the above place, a
rail broke, and the sleeping car was
precipitatcd down the embankment,
while the engine and baggage car re-
NAMED on the track. The passengers
scrambled out Of the car windows as
best they could, many Of them consld-
erably bruised, About this time the
stove tipped over and set the car on
fire. Mr.. VIM. II. Bisscll and son, of
Chicago, were in the car, but the ia
Their got ont and hearing the cry Of
his son for help, rushed in at one of
the windows to his assistance, but was
unable to get out aud both persisted.
The bodies reduced to calcined mass
before they could be rescued, the heat
was 50 great.

Gently brought to light at an inquest
held on the body of man in South
London. In a workroom where many
young girls were at work small
mouse suddenly made its appearance
on table causing, Of course, consid-

pede. The intruder was seized, how
ever, by young man who happened
to be present, but the mouse slipped
out Of his hand, and, running up his
sleeve, came out between his waist
coat and shirt at the neck. The I'M
fortunate man had his mouth open
and the mouse, on the lockout fOl
some convenient place OF conceal
ment, entered the mans mouth, aud
he, in his fright and surprise, swal-
lowed it. That q mouse can exist for
a considerable time without much air
has long been a popular belief, and
was unfortunately proved to be a fact
in the present instance, for the mouse
began to tear ard bite inside the man s
throat and chest, and the result was
that the unfortunate fellow died after
little time in horrible agony. Sew
eral witnesses corroborated the above
facts, and medical testimony as to. the
cause Of death having deem given, a
