that they had broken apart. Emerson
started in search OF the missing cars, and
meanwhile the passenger train came along.
The passenger train men We're told that EN-
erson ha | gone after a part of his train before
they left the station. That train stopped at
Andover Centre, leaving four passengers,
and started southwark. When three-eighths
of a mile below Andover Centre both trains
came in collision, and as the trains were 60
ing rapidly the recoil was 80 great that the
direction Of each locomotive was completely
changed.
As soon as possible treinmen were sent out
on engines to the rescue Of the passengers.
Both locomotives were badly damaged and
the engineers were missing. After a long
search they were found dead under the debris,
as was also William Harvey, a brakeman of
the freight train who went back with engi-
neer Emerson on his train. Beside the three
killed five men-a postal clerk, express MES
senger, baggage master and two tiremen OF

Denmark on the Verge Of a Sc
rious Revolution

A Copenhagen dispatch says that "the
long continued arbitrary policy of King
Christian TX. in declining to dismiss the Es-
trup cabinet, in compliance with the temper
of the Rigsdag, and in levying taxes al
legod to be unconstitutional because of the
refusal Of parliament to vote the budget,
seems about TO eliminate in grave
troubles. A number Of serious riots and i'm
posing demonstrations against tho king and
the Estrup ministry have occurred already in
this city. The people seem determined that
their representatives in parliament shall have
som voice in the affairs of government. They
have become so threatening in their demands
that the king has ordered the garrison of Co.
rcnhagen to be largely reinforced. These popu-
lar manifestations are not confined to Copen-
haeen, but are general throughout Denmark
It is expected that a state of siege will be de-
clared, and it is feared that a revolution will
ensue if the king persists in withholding the
concessions demanded by the Rigsdag. A
number of political arrests have been
made and have tended to excite the people
further. The popular feeling has become so
angry that the shedding of Blood is possible
at any moment"
The trouble between the Danish govern
ment and the people is of thirteen years.
standing, during which time the Lower
House, the Folkething, has vainly persisted
IN its demand for the removal Of the unpop-
Estrup cabinet. Its attempts to
coerce the government by refusing to
vote supplies were boldly met; the
king authorized the levy of taxes by royal
decree and dissolved the RigsdaS with a rep
rimand. This has since been done repeatedly,
but each time a larger radical majority has
been returned to the lower house. In the
popular branch of the Rigsdag, which met
this month at Copenhagen, there are now
scarce half a dozen supporters Of he'govern-
msnt. The upper house has remained loyal
to the king.

Tlie SMALLPOX in Canada.

Montreal advices state that the smallpox
scourge is spreading in Canada. OF the 4S5
patients admitted to the old Civic hospital in
Montreal since April |, lis have died. The
retail merchants have decided to urge upon
the provincial board of health tho necessity
of rohibiting the sale of vaccine points in
druggists or other stores, but instead to es-
tablish q central dispensary where pure vac.
cine can be issued. This action has been
taken because much of tho vaccine sold
in the city has been bogus. The most extra
ordinary means are about to be adopted to
prevent the spread of smallpox. Tine pro-
vincial board Of health met and discussed a
motion passed by the civic board of health
to close all churches and public places Of
amusement and prevent all gatherings in
public squares for one month. 1t was re.
solved not to concur in the motion, as they
thought that the Time was inopportune. 1t
was stated that any person coming from an
infected house to a church could be prose-
cutel now.

Sampson more than nifty years ago was
taken out. When the worst was over
and the building stood pitching down
hill straight toward the spot, Caleb took
off his hat and got upon the cross tie to
make a speech. He spoke: "h1cn and
teamsters, dinner"
After dinner the building was slowly
and carefully worked down hill on to the
spot. The warm September sun made
the afternoon delightful. The women
were gathered on the green sward with
their work, and the boys set on piles OF
slaves crunching apples that hung down
from the bending limbs ever their heads
just within easy reach. The shook shop
is snow on the "Booker 1ntervale" by the
side of the river where the woodbine
climbs the trees in great profusion, and
where the water goes laughing down
over the rocks as merry as q ''gig2ling
girl" All there is left Of the shook shop
where it stood is the pole where it sot.
Caleb's'speech was in one word but it
was a welcome speech. Marcus Samp-
son shouted "Amen" so loud that they
heard him on the Buckfeld town farm.
The oxen were turned into a clover lot
and soon filled themselves and laid down.
Mrs. Nora Burdin and Mrs. Kate Wilder
had set tables for forty-four tables-ten
plates each. The bill of fare was baked
BEANS, Indian pudding, brown bread.
the whitcst kind Of white cake and
plenty of pumpkin pie, apple pic too, If
you wished, tea, coffee, pickles, preserves
and other dishes. After forty hungry
men and boys had eaten all they could
eat there seemed to be just as much on
the tables as there was when they began
to eat.

The Value of Thorough PrePara-
 tion For Any Undertaking.
 Endeavors to catch bluefish in the waters in this vicinity have been numerous and in most cases very thorough. The rewards as a rule have been scanty. Occasionally a few have been successful, returning with thirty or forty of fair size, and very few have caught from seventy-ive to one hundred in three or four hours patient, unfagging, per sistent and devoted attention to business. A few have accomplished satisfactory results in the sport off Sheffield and Long wharv es. Down at Kelseys wharf, Savin Rock, "a for est of poles' has been seen quite frequently, but poor luck is the rule. The average fish erman gives it up after three or four hours assiduous work. A few went to ''1nake day of it" and some of tlrese went thorough ly prepared, being men of experience in the art piscatorial They had the most costly fishing tackle and had unlimited quantities of good fresh bait-live kellies, swordfsh, lobster, etc. They also took rubber over coats and went and engaged in the sport in the most scientific manner. Being thus thoroughly equipped they succeeded in every thing but catching bluefsh and had the nor tifcation and disgust of seeing two lads who had outlandish tackle and scarcely no other equipment except hooks and junk of sword fish 'Frake in" the voracious, healthy, snap py bluefish to the number of about fifty each, while these aforesaid scientists return ed home with six or seven each and in a frame of mind which no philosophy could render cheerful.

 A Union Flag Coming Back. MT. R. M. Shurtleff, the artist, who is well known here was one of the earliest volun- teers in the war and was wounded in action and taken prisoner oil the field, being the first Union officer captured. While he lay wounded he observed rifle sighted at him, and the man who held it demanded his sur render, request which under the circum- stances was acceded to. The Confederate was Colonel Sandridge, of New Orleans. A private letter from MT. Shurtleff to a gentle man in this city says that he has recently had letter from Colonel Sandridge, who has been for some time searching for him but had only just learned that he was the same as the Lieutenant Shurtleff of that time, and who offers to send him the flag which he captured at that time This he says is the first flag taken by the Confeder- ates and it will make trophy worth having.
