DEATH ON TIE WATER.-A terrible
disaster occurred at Lake Quinsigamond
two miles from Worcester, Mass, on the
afternoon of the 4tb, resulting in the los.
of several lives and serious injury TO many
persons. The particulars of the affair
according TO the Boston Journal are as
follows: The steamer was the Isaac
Davis, pleasure boat, and had Just come
up TO the wharf on her seventh trip, and
awaiting her arrival were over Thousand
people, who, as soon us the was madt
fast, struggled to get on board before even
the gang plank was in position. The
captain endeayored to restrain the crowd
but no attention was paid 10 his tntreates,
and pushing him aside they rushed on
board. At this time there were over two
hundred people on the boat, about Il
hundred and fifty on the hurricane deck.
Those below being unable to leave the
boat joined those on the upper deck, ami
us they did so the Davis careened ov,
away from the wharf, causing the crowd
of human beings to rush to the port side,
and ut this instant the stanchions ami
supports of the upper deck gave way,
throwing the crowd in one struggling
mass into the water, men women and
children shrieking and crying for aid
AT the terrible sight strong men turned
pale and women tainted, and for moment
the spectators were paralyzed. To add
TO the terror, the wreck of the upper deck
in falling in partially crushed through to
The engine, breaking off the safety valve
and allowing the steam to rush out with II
terrible roar, deadening the cries of the
drowning victims. Efforts were at once
made to rescue them in the water, and
most of them were saved. Seven bodies
had been recovered at last accounts, and
five persons were badly injured.

AT Swanton, towards evening on the
4tb, two large American eagles were let
out of cages, but for some mysterious
reason they wouldn't fly. Nobody knew
why, but finally Swanton man suggested
that they should have been let out before
the Grafton was delivered, for now they
were completely discouraged.
No better evidence of the stronghold
that prohibition has upon the people of

the democratic state convention has refrls-

cratic party has not; therefore it has
nothing to lose by showing It's true colors.

The democrats are not all harmonious
on the greenback question, in Maine. The
Belfast Journal, the ablest democratic
plper in the state has come out for the
republican candidate for governor, after
having for two years strongly opposed the
tendency of its own party toward the
greenback camp. Several German demo-
cratic papers in Ohio have come out
strongly in favor of Foster for governor
in place of the democratic and greenback
nominee, Ewing. As among the signs
that when the democratic party, as u par
ty. adopts the greenback heresy it will
meet with serious reflections among its
Rest men, the above facts are significant.

l advise YOU to perform the usual duties

forbidden 10 do, TO the extent of yonr
power. The law prescribes those duties
and affixes certain fees MS compensation
therefor. No provision for the payment
of fees for marshals and their deputies has
been made; nor can ! make any contract
or promise that this provision shall here
after be made; but your performance OF
your duties, so far rs the law contemplate.
that they are TO be compensated by fees,
seems to me to constitute good ground of
obligation against the United States

ed and expenditures are to be made. I

encounter. In MI this matter, however
you will have to rely upon your expccta-
tion of future legislation by congress thai

except fees of marshals and their deputies.
have been provided for.
