rae END OF THE WORLD.

Mother SYMPTOMS prophecy that the
end Of the world would take place seine
time during the present year Of 1881 has
been q very encouraging failure thus Tar.
She neglected to sfix the precise date
therefore 20 much Of the year has
elapsed without serious trouble thai We
are corrsspondingly less afraid to chance
the balance Of 1t. But as has heretofore
been stated In the News. an Italian
writer, Lssnsrdo Arstino, who died In
the fourteenth century. tive hundred
ysars before Mother Symptoms time, had
the thing figured right down to an
~ailspics. Perhaps Mother shipton may
have taken her cue from him. or tried to
steal his thunder. which will account for
her fixing upon this same year for q final
windup to all things; but, anyhow. Are
sino gave the date. Ind now has the time
and the chances more definitely in his
faver than could have been had he set
the consummatisn earlier in the year.
In the Aith volume OF his work. "Aquils
volants." he clearly prophecies that the
wsrid will come to an end on the 10Th OF
November. 1881. giving. however. aftsen
days Of progressive ruin before the final
wheopup. Following 10 the stated pro-
gramms:

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Man Crushed by a Locomotive

Yesterday morning at S.35 o'clock as the
Grand Trunk engine that draws the Boston
and Maine passenger train from the Grand
Trunk station to the Boston and Maine station
was approaching the head of Franklin
wharf, Captain Ephraim Wentworth of Ban
gor, gentleman aged about II years, at
tempted to cross the track on Commercial
street, at the upper end of Galt's Block. The
captain had just left Mr. Sidney Thaxter's
counting room where he had been on business.
The engineer and fireman both cried out to
him, and, as we are told, the bell was ringing
as is customary. Capt. Wentworth didn't
seem to hear either bell or voice, and was
struck by the engine, wowheels of the loco
motive passed over him cutting off both legs at
the hips and one arm.
The train Immediately stopped crowd
gathered, and the unfortunate man was taken
to Rich's undertaker's shop. He was con-
scious and calm, and requested son of his,
who works for George H. Lord, should be sent
for. OF course nothing could be done for the
sufferer by Drs. Brooks and Merrill except to
make him as comfortable as possible and he
died about 10 O'Clock.
Capt Wentworth was an old and ex-
perienced sea captain and pilot of Bangor, in
comfortable circumstances, and brought the
new steamer Sea Flower to this port. He was
deaf in one ear from the effects of a sunstroKe.
A coroner's jury was impanellcd and held
session in tie County Attorneys room in the
afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The jury found that the deceased was not in
the exercise of proper care at the time of the
accident, and that the Grand Trunk company
was not at fault but that the engineer was de-
serving of censure for not obeying the printed
rules of the company which forbids the engi-
neer of a train from allowing any stranger to
ride on the engine with him.

EMBBzzLEMENT AND ROBBERY.
The Downfall of Postmaster Boyd OF
HoultOn.

The Kennebec Journal gives the following
particulars of the detection and arrest of Post
master Boyd of Houlton, on charge of robbing
the mails:
On the 3lst of last March Mr.. W. II. Bige-
low of Augusta, U. S. Post Office Inspector,
visited the post office in Houlton for the pur
pose of examining the accounts of the post
master. 1t had been suspected for some time
that the incumbent, Mr.. Boyd, was defaulter
of the general postal funds. He was Just
making out his quarterly when Mr.. BigeIow
dropped in upon him. Upon full inventory
taken of all property in the post office and OF
cash on hand it was found that he was short
in his accounts to the extent of some $1,000.
Postmaster Boyd endeavored to deceive the in
spector by counting the funds on hand twice,
but Mr.. Bgelow caught him in the act The
man then reluctantly confessed that he was
guilty Of embezzlement, and asked that he be
dealt with as lightly as possible. It was a
hard case No man in Houlton was more
popular. Boyd had been gallant soldier in
the civil war, serving with great credit in the
first Maine cavalry. lie had endeared himself
to the townspeople by his G ordial manner, kind
heart, and apparently upright life. Mr. Bice-
low reported his case to the department, and
was instructed to put the office in charge Of
Mr.. Boyd's bondsmen-Hon Llewellyn Pow
ers, A. A. Burleigh and DR.. Buzzell- and no.
tify them that they must make good the
amount to the government. The prosecution
of the erring postmaster was left entirely to
the discretion of these gentlemen. Soon
after Hon. Eben Woodbury. was nominated for
the postnastership, but owing to the deadlock
in the Senate he was not confirmed until a few
days ago, and will not enter upon his duties
till June 1st The affairs of the office, mean
while, are conducted by the bondsmen
s. Houlton is one of the most important post
offices in northern Maine. 1t is the separating
Office for Aroostook county. All the mail for
the county comes first to Houton, where it is
assorted and sent on to its destination. 1t is
essential, in order that the people in Aroostook
may obtain their letters and papers as speedily
| as possible, that the clerk who has charge OF
the distribution thoroughly understand his
| business
After several persons had tried to give salts
faction but had failed, Mr.. Boyd was put ill to
assist on the arrival OF the western and north
| ern mails. He had been thus employed sbut a
