Drunken ROuglss from

Soon after 2 clo.k yesterday morning. as
the Washington express train, bound south.
over the Harlem branch Of the New Haven
Railroad, slowed for the drawbr,dge near
Barton station, a volley Of stones crashed into
the cab of the engine. The attack was sevral
times repeated. and the three cars were struck
in many places. One of the stones, shivering
q window Of the cab struck the fireman.
The engineer whis,led down brakes, and,
with his fireman sprang from the locomotive
and started in pursuit Of the party Of coughs
who had thrown the stones Conductor
Marshall, and several train hands, joined in
the chase ai,d the party was reinforced 10y

the steam whistle. and horn blown by the

signal lantern TO warn any train that might be
approaching; but he was driver back by
stones thrown by the roughs, who then sca'-
tered through the woods. and escaped al
though fired at by Worreil, the station agent
The shots were greeted with derisive shouts
and blasts on the horn. The train was de-
layed half an honr, and some of the passen-
gers were much alarmed. The offenders
were seven roughs from East Chester, wha
visited Boston for the purpose of selling rattle

Everlasting the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any OF us to over
task our energies. corporal or mental,
but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame
or knowledge, how many transgress this
salutary rule. 1t must be a matter of the
greatest importance to all who do so to
know how they can regain the vigor so
recklessly expended. The remedy is
neither costly nor difficult TO obtain.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is procurable
in every city, town and settlement in
America, and it compensates Tor a drain
of bodily or mental energy mora etfectu-
ally than any invigorant ever prescribed
or advertised. Laboring men, athletes,
students, Journalists, lawyers, clergy
men, physicians, all bear testimony to
its wondrously renovating powers. 1t
increases the capabilities for undergoing
fatigue, and counteracts the injurious ef-
fects upon the system of exposure, seden.
tary habits. unhealthy or worrying avo-
cations, or an insalubrious climate, and
is prime alternative, diuretic and blood
