Serious Accident.

Yesterday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, a
white horse attached to sleigh, was stand
ing in front of Loveitt's fish market on Con-
gress street. The horse was fastener by a
hitch-weight. Something frightened the ami
NAL, and he started and ran. AT the corner
of Congress and Oak streets, he took to the
sidewalk aud smashed the sleigh against the
harness shop, freeing himself from the vehi-
Gle. Just beyond State street he struck and
knocked down little girl of five or six
years of age, whose parents reside in Dow's
court, cutting her face badly, besides other
bruises The child was taken home. The
horse continued on his course, and was stop
ped at the Maine Central passenger station
at the foot of Congress street, and was only
slightly cut by his escapade. He was owned

Sweet Corn Canning in Maine

From returns to the Department of Agri-
culture, the amount of sweet corn packed in
Maine the past fall has been only about half
what it was two years ago, the figures for
the two years lbeing as follows: For 1883,
S,364,00O cans; 1885, 4,07s,O00 cans. The
amount packed by the several companies
this year was as follows: Portland Packing
Company, 1,37s,oOo cans; Burnham & Nor
rill, 100000 cans; Winslow Packing Compa-
ny, 1.24O,0o0 cans; all other factories, 10000
cans. The amount of corn packed for whole
sale firms in the West upon which their la
bells have been placed, has been fourfold that
of any previous year The average price
paid farmers has been three cents for twenty
six ounces. The quality of the corn packed
was never better than this year.

The Foreclosure Has Become Abso-
lutte and All Title is Now Vested in
the trustees.

A special despatch from Portsmouth to the
Boston Record says: ''In the suit in the
United States Circuit Court of the Mercan-
tile Trust Company against the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad Company, the decree
of May 70 was that the railroad company, or
those claiming under it, should pay into the
registry of the court the sum of $1,590,744
being the amount of overdue bonds and
coupons of interest due May ., 1885, to re-
deem the mortgage bonds of November l,
1871 The six months elapsed recently and
the trustees sent to the clerk of the Circuit
Court to know if the sum had been paid into
the registry. The clerk was clearly of the
impression that such payment had not been
made. This was confirmed by an examina-
ton of the entries, books and papers in the
office, and the clerk signed certificate that
the above sum had not been paid. The de-
fault bars and forecloses the company from
redeeming any of its mortgages, either the
mortgage of November 1, 1871, or Of April
/, 1882, May IS, 1882, or February %. 1884, and
makes Messrs. Milliken, Webb and Jose, as
trustees, absolutely the owners of the rail
road and all its appurtenances"

President L. Clarke Seelye, of Smith Fe-
male College, says that the course of lectures
upon the art galleries of Europe, by Mr.. Sgd
ney Dickinson, has been of great interest to
the students of Smith College. His plan OF
treating the subject is admirably adapted to
bring out the special characteristics of the
great painters, and the excellent stereopticon
views with which each lecture is profusely
illustrated have been great aid in giving
clear conceptions of their work. The course
to be given by Mr.. Dickinson will give
Portland people an opportunity to see some
of the finest stereopticon Illustrations ever
exhibited

Precautions Taken.

In order that all proper precautions should
be taken to prevent the introduction Of
small pox into Portland, the International
Steamship Company made requisite of DR..
Young, Secretary of the State Board of
Health, to visit this city and see what plan
had best be adopted. DR.. Young came to
Portland, and it is probable that the vessels
of the company will be visited by inspectors
at Eastport, where the passengers will be
examined and certifcated, and the baggage
fumigated.

RECENT PURLICATIONs.

Dr. Holmes ''Two Anniversary Poems" are the most striking feature of the Atlantic for July. There is some more unusually ex- cellent poetry by Edith Thomas, Andrew Hedbrook and Kathleen Wright. t'The New Portfolio has developed startling incident, Mrs. Oliphant's story is on the eve of it's de- nouement and Miss Murfree's Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains" comes to strangely pathetic ending. Warmers tOn Horseback" is continued, and is amusing number are 'fTne Port Royal of Mere An gelique," by Maria E. MacKaye, t'Should 8 College Educate2' by B. R. Sill, and a criti- cal article by Harriet Waters Preston on Miss Ingelow and Mrs. Walford. Philander Dem ing has characteristic tale to tell, Wong Chin Foo relates ''The Story of San Tszon," :" 8 legend of Buddhism, and there is a pleas ant little conceis about Shakespeare.
 The American nation has double birth right-liberty and land. Its liberty it has guarded jealously, but until very recent years it seems to have been indifferent to the loss of it's landed estate and ignorant of the methods by which it has been diminished veteran legislator, the Hon. George W. Julian, who has given special attention to the acts disposing of our public lands, tells the story in brief in contribution to the North American Review for August. In the same number five medical authorities dis cuss the question, "Can Cholera be Aver teda" Felix L. Oswald contributes sug- gestive article on s'The Animal Soul,' and the Rev. M. J. Savage, in IA Profane View of the Sanctum," brings an indictment against the daily press. The other articles are one on 'sThe Price of Cas-" by Charles H. Botsford, one on Temperance Reform Statistics" by Professor W. J. Beecher, and the chapter of Comments" by various writers on articles in previous numbers
