Two new bills were introduced into The
House this afternoon, in amendment of the
highway law. Mr. Beck of Brookticld is the
sponsor of one, II. 1871, which proposes to
make towns liable for injuries on the high
way occurring after notice has been given by
three taxpayers to the selecmen of the town,
and If the sclcctmen of the town where the
highways or bridges are situated are not
agreed whether there is an insuficiency, they
may call in the sclcctmen of an adjoining
town.
The other was introduced by Mr., Johnson
of Fayston, ii. 1872, and undertakes to amend
section Bill of the revised laws, so as to
make 1t provide that towns shall he liable for
injury on account OF the want of repair of
any bridge, culvcrt or slucc, or muuimenl,
guard or railing along the highway, but No
recovery shall be paid if notice of such in
suiliciency, etc, has not been given to the
selectmcn at least ten days prior to the acct
dent, or if the accident has been caused by
the passing of any carriage bearing load

The End Of the World.

Richard w. Proctor, the astronomer, has
created quite scare recently. He ventur-
ed to suggest that perhaps the world would
come to an end about the year 1897. The
comet of 1868, one of the geatest upon rec
ord, returned in 1913, and some astrono-
mers believe it will reappear in 1897, so
near the sun that it may fall into it. If its
substance is solid or accompanied by me-
teorites composed ofsubstantial matter, the
effect of its fall upon the sun would be to
develop vast amount Of heat throughout
the solar system, and so destroy all animal
and vegetable life upon this globe. That
such accidents do happen throughout the
universe is very probable, for it is known
that stars suddenly blaze out and then dis
appear forever. A star in the Northern
Crown in 1866 for few days shown out
with wonderfully increased light, clearly
due to an addition to its temperature, and
such an accident may happen to our sun
1t is known that the best portions of our
globe were at one time subject to glacial
action, that is, icebergs and frozen sea
covered the greater part of the northern
hemisphere. The sun at that time must
have withdrawn some of its heat and a ca
tastrophe of an entirely different character
may also occur. However, 1897 is some
time offyet. Then, it is not settled the com

es in opposition to the Tariff Commission
bill so far delivered in the House. lie
spoke for the agricultural class, which
comprises an overwhelming majority ofhis
constituents, and, representing their inter-

and national spirit, looking at the practical
results of tariff legislation rather than its
political tendencies. Mr.. Muldrow declin-
ed to accept protection arguments based
upon the difference Of wages between pro-
tective America and free trade England,
with the protective countries of continent
tai Europe, thereby showing clearly that,
as between these nations lying so near to-
gether, the rate OF wages was much higher
in England than in either France or Ger
