4. L Pritehqrd, Esq:
+ DEAR SIR--Your letter Of the 7th ins.
addressed to the Mayor encosi ng copies OF
correspondence with Mr.. Mariner who
holds some of our railroad bonds, has been
duly received. Mr.. Mariner says: IL fixed
the price Of those bonds long time sine
and add the interest annually at 10 pc,
cent. and some time OF other the city of
Watertown will have it to pay; meantime
1t will cost them as much IN the way of
preventing growth aud depressing energy
as it would to pay the interest on the
gross amount Of the debt, so that when
they do pay, they will have paid twice for
the debt" .-
We are not aware that Mr.. Mariner ever
fixed price for his bonds, be never offered
a compromise with the city on any terms,
though applied to for that purpose, but has
always refused. The people of WATERFOWL
are not unwilling TO compromise its railroad
Indebtedness, though there are elements of
reputation here and always have been and
always will be. You we'll know the cir
Gums ances under which this railroad in
bebtedness was incurred, and the great
injus tice done to Watertown in connection
herewith.
Had good faith been kept by the RAILROAD
companies and an honest management of
their roads been observed, Watcrtown
would not now be aborng under this
heavy debt. Most of our railroad bones
were sold at ruiaously low figures to the
great injury of the city-trom 10 cents of
the face upwards. The city would willing
ly pay Mr.. Mariner great deal more fer
his bonds than they cost him, SO that he
would make profit on them. AS to the
depressing effect alluded to by Mr.. Mariner
which these bonds have on our growth and
energy, we have seen the worst and passed
it, and are now on a steady advance and
improvement. With Mr. Mariners present
views, as we understand them, the city Of
Watertown will never settle with him.
Long after he and other bondholders enter
tanning similar views shall have passed
away the city of Watertown will remain,
and ii ever a settlement is effected Il will
be with their successors. 1t would be better
for them and for us also that fair and Just
compromise should be entered into, one
that the city could carry out without ruin
Gus and oppressive taxation, and such one
we believe the city would be willing to
make, but never one that would be equiv a.
lent to conhscation of property

An Extraordinary Accident.
From the Albany journal

One of the most singular accidents
which it has fallen to our lot to record,
occurred yesterday afternoon to Mrs.
George Sweeley, who resides at the cor
ner Of Perry street and Central avenue.
Mrs. s., 1t appears, went out to her hem
house to collect eggs, and in order to
reach one nest on a sort of a loft, was
obliged to use a step ladder. She
mounted the latter, which was set
against the side of the house, and while
in the act of reaching out, clipped and
fell. As she slipped, she endeavored to
catch hold of q beam just above the lad
der, but her hand slipped off that, and
her heavy plain gold wedding ring on
the third finger of her left hand caught
on q projecting nail. By the fall the
whole weight was thrown on that one
finger, and the nail being firm, the flesh
of the finger was stripped from the bone
by the ring up to the first joint, when
that joint, with the stripped flesh was
cut Oft ~ clean ~ though amputated
by q surgeon, and fell to the ground.
Strange to say not drop of blood flowed
from the severed member. Mrs. Swee-
ley fastened into the house in . fainting
condition, and DR.. w. Fl. Murray and
R. H. Starkweather being sent for, am
putsted what was left of the finger close
to the hand. The ring was subsequently
found still hanging on the nail, with the
severed finger beneath it.

The great novelty of the carnival at
Paris this year was the arrival of q body
OF sixty-four Spanish students from
Madrid. They were all young men of
good family, who had extended for this
season the excursion which they are &C.
customed to make every year in carnival
time to some town in Spain. They wore
the costume of students of Salamanca of
the sixteenth century, harlequin cap,
with ivory spoon instead Of feather;
black velvet vest and belt, with steel
buttons; black knee-breeches, black silk
hose, black kid shoes, with black bows
and steel buckles; black cleth cloak and
white gloves. The guitars were strung
with ribbons of the national colors Of
Spain-red and yellow. Fifty of the
troop were musicians, their instruments
being the guitar, the violin, the ban
durria, the flute and the pandora. One
afternoon they gave a performance on
the terrace in front of the Opera house,
and one of their number executed a
national dance, which was at once grace
full and curious. Victor Hugo made the
shortest address of his life in greeting
them in the simple words, "Sons OF
Spain, l am your friend" A deputation
of two hundred Paris students called
upon them and babe them welcome.
While meandering along the boulevards
the Spanish lads played national melo-
dies with a precision, spirit and fire that
set every head and foot in motion.

Hardy Women.

On the coast of Normandy the women
are tough and hard to kill. A few weeks
ago the wives of three fishermen, having
filed their baskets with shell. fish, were
going home, when they found themselves
suddenly in the midst of a dense fog,
which prevented their seeing land. But
they knew their way, and walked on.
This was about six o'clock in the evening.
When they thought they were near home
they were surprised by the tide. They
walked ~ long as they could, but 1t
length had to stop. The water was then
up to their knees. They had to remain
in the water till the tide receded, the fog
being still dense. They screamed as
loudly as they could, but heard NO voice
in reply, and they were finally overtaken
by the morning tide. Meanwhile their
husbands were running up and down the
sands with lighted torches, screaming
with all their might; butneither party saw
or heard the other. Atlast the fog cleared
away and the tide ran out, and the three
fishermen's wives were rescued, after hav-
Ing been in the water twenty-five hours,
and during q night when the frost had
bitten every tree in the neighborhood.
They did not seem to feel much the
worse for their adventure, and were in
clined to laugh over it.
