Yesterday noon Hon. George E. Weeks
and another gentleman were returning from
the ice houses above the dam. Their horse
. valuable, blooded animal-was in high
spirits, and was trotting at q lively pace. The
road was very slippery, and in rounding
curve the sleigh slowed badly. One of the
runners struck rock with such force as to
overturn the sleigh, throwing Mr.. Weeks and
his companion out upon the ground. Mr..
Weeks chung to the reins, and was dragged
some little distance before he let go. His
weight upon the right side pulled the mare
around She was nowthoroughly frightened,
and started toward the dam. Near the ice
houses the road leads on to the river. The
terrified horse ran across the ice to the en-
trance to one Of the locks on the
east side, colliding with the granite pier.
Inside the lock the ice was thin, and the poor
animal broke through and plunged head first
into the cold waters Of the Kennebec. Her
struggles were very violent, but she could
not be got out, and was drowned. Fortunate
" neither Mr. Weeks nor the other gentle
man was seriously hurt.

The Marrow GAUGE.-Wc believe that

to Augusta would be = paying investment for
its stockholders. r. w. Soule Of Kent's
Hill, in = letter to the Pennington Chronicle
saws: 1.-THE amount Of freight to and from
Fayette exceeds 1000 tons yearly. The Dunn
Edge Tool Co., manufacturing at Fayette,
will, assure you, throw no obstacle in the
way, but on the other hand, being full Of
push, will do their part to secure the enter
prise. At North Wayne, the amount of
freight is not less than 5000 tons. and would
be greatly increased if the road should
pass through their village. Richmond's
Mill now hauling 500 tons Of freight yearly
FIVE miles 10 railroad, would come to North
Wayne. n IL is but two miles distant. In
conversing with owners in the paper and tool
companies At North Wayne. find them thor
oughly awake on the subject, and they say
the road must and shall come. When such
men ~ Bodwell, Taylor and Harvey, con-
nected ~ they are with the manufacturing at
North Wayne. put their shoulders to the
wheel it means business every time. AT
Wayne We find wooden mill, shovel handle
factory, machine shop.-in fact. thriving
enterprising village. which would do much
toward building and supporting the road.
That . narrow gauge railroad from Farming
ton through the above named towns. connect
ing with the boat at Gardiner, would be
paying enterprise there il no doubt. As the
towns through which the road would pass
would be vastly benefited. believe willing

Case of Perjury.

Nuse Oi TcIJuIys
Bosrox, December "a. In the case OF
Robert Howard of Fall River, before the U.
S. commissioner, charged with perjury in
taking out naturalization papers. wherein he
swore falsely as to the date Of his arrival in
this country, General Butler asked that
Howard be discharged, on the ground that
the oath, being attested by the deputy clerk
of court, was Illegal, and that the whole sys-
tenn of naturalization in vogue in the U. S.
courts in this district for several years is
illegal. As thousands have been naturalized
under these laws, the point is considered an
important one. The commissioner continued
the case. promising to consider the question
with much care.
Guilty of Murder.
The Jury in the case of Mrs. Catherine
Driscoll of Maiden, on trial for murder of
Mary Credan, neighbours child, found a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter. The
prisoner, who is the mother of six children,
received the announcement unmoved. She
will be sentenced Monday.
Railroad Consolidation.
The Advertiser saws: Negotiations looking
to establishment of strictly mutual business
relations between the Boston & Maine and
Eastern railroads, have recently been revived.
Satisfactory terms to all parties will soon be
arrived at. The general features Of the plan
include joint administration of the two roads
under one management, so all trains may be
despatched and fares regulated as one system.
Wherever the roads converge in the same
town or CITY there will be consolidation so far
as to have but one station and one set of
officers for local administration. Fares to
such points will be the same on each road
and tickets issued for these points over one
road will ne equally good upon the other.

THE MISTAKE or 1876.

In 1876 the Democratic party missed
golden opportunity. The financial distress
caused by the Republican policy Of contract
ing the currency was the central idea in the
minds of the voters. The Southern leaders,
occupied wholly with the idea of freeing
their States from carpet-bag rule, could not
grasp this idea, and nominated Tilden--a
millionaire who incarnated the very oppo-
site idea to that by which the masses of the
people were dominated. If Hancock and
Hendricks had then been the ticket on con
servative financial platform, Ohio and In
diana would have gone Democratic in October
by decisive majorities, and Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, and other Northwestern States would
have followed in November. The Democracy
would then have profted by the revival of
business which has now aided the Republic
cans, and would have had no difficulty in
renewing their victory in 1850.
The fraud issue proved impotent. The
people had as much contempt for those who
would submit TO fraud as for its perpetra-
tors. And that the financial question, and
not reform or fraud. was the real question
about which the people We're thinking was
proved by the break up of parties which fol-
lowed the Inauguration of Hayes.
In 1878, three candidates for Governor ran
in Pennsylvania. The Democrats had sur
rendered TO the banks, and Dill competed with
Hoyt TO show his subserviency to the money
lenders. The Republican position was in,
eyitable and consistent. But II was folly fol
the Democratic candidate TO try TO hang on
TO the edges Of the Republican platform
The logical position of the Democracy wai
opposition to the Republican financial
policy, which had at that moment sunk
the country TO the lowest depths o.
distress. The National candidate for Gov,
ernor, Mason, received $4,000 votes and
the Republican candidate was chosen by q
plurality. If the Democrats had then availed
themselves boldly of the obvious advantages
offered by the pauperism and idleness Of the
laboring masses, instead of orooking Their
pregnant beings before the money kings, they
would have swept the State.
Tho same has been the case all over The
country, the Democracy seryiloly succumbing
to tho pressure of wealth instead OF appealing
to the popular pocket and the popular ileart,
and nowhere, except away oil in Maine, has
there been any attempt to realize on the OBJ
yious opportunity afforded by the Republican
