Presents to Cleveland.

Besides the hungry office seekers
pouring into Albany, there has been Il
continuous stream of gifts coming to
the presdent-elect. One of the most
novel occurred recently. y Western
man dying lately willed all his prop
erty to the next democratic president
When the accounts of the supposed
wealthy estate were balanced it was
found that the deceased had left the
president-elect "a debt of SI6,OO0.
This was probably one of the gifts
which was returned without thanks.
Now Gov. Cleveland has very sensibly
decided that instead of returning the
presents he will turn them all over to
the Albany charities, and if animate
and inanimate objects continue to
arrive an immigration of pauPers,
tramps, etc, will start for Albany to
receive the gifts.

A Distressing Accident.
DID RUM Do 1T z

A sad accident occurred on the rail
road last Friday night. A man from
Montreal bound for New York fell from
the train near Netherlands between
Coventry and Barton Landing, and lay
beside the track until picked up by the
early freight south Saturday morning.
When conductor Berry came through
the train Just after leaving Newport,
the man was asleep and could not be
aroused sufficiently to produce his
ticket. Berry went on intending to
return later and have it out with him.
When near the high bridge in Barton
the conductor missed the man and
asked some questions concerning him
of man who had sat near by, and
gathered the impression that he had
got off at the Landing beating his fare.
He learned of the pullman car con-
ductor that the man had been put on
board the train at Montreal by the po-
lice of that city after having tire car
tridges drawn from revolver which
he carried, and he had tried to get
off the train several times before reach
ing Newport. Shortly after this on
looking about the seat where the man
had been sitting his wallet containing
$3.50 was found, also a second class
ticket from Montreal to New York.
At Lyndonville, Berry notified the
train dispatcher of the occurrence and
at Woodsville the night express north.
The early freight south found the man
alongside the fence near Netherlands
and took him to the Landing where
medical aid was summoned. His
hands and feet were frozen solid and
will have to he amputated and even
then it is doubtful if he survives.
From papers found on his person it is
learned that he is IA cigar dealer in
Patterson, n. j., and came from France

THE CALEDoNIAN's NEW MAKEUP.

Some readers will be surprised at the
new arrangement of The CaledOnian
this week. We have for some time
contemplated this change. Since the
country newspaper has become so
largely a local paper, and since the
home news is the first that most read
ers desire to read, we see no aPprOpri-
ateness in putting it where it is the
most difficult to get at. We are conf
dent that as soon rs our readers get
used to the new makeup they will like
it and wonder it has never been
thought of before.

The correspondence published else
where between Mr.. Curtis and Gov.
Cleveland is attracting general atten-
ton because of the position taken by
the president-elect on civil service re-
form. If the coming executive is able
to carry out the plan which he has
marked out for himself the modern
civil service reformer can ask for
nothing better. But it will he said
that marking out a course and follow
ing that course are two different things;
still the letter of GOV. Cleveland will
receive universal commentator by all
who wish to cut assunder party and
office, and gives an earnest of what
the country may expect in the next
president

remarkable instance of the tenacity
OF old beliefs among an ignorant class
lately occurred not very far from Cal
cutta. The idea that government al
ways inal,surated every good work
with human sacrifice was long current
among the lower orders OF the Indian
people, but it might be supposed that
it had died out long ago. 1t appears,
however, to be as strong us ever. The
boatmen on the Ganges near Rajmehal
somehow came to bclieve that the gov.
eminent required 100000 human
heads as the foundation for q great
bridge, and that government officers
were going about the river in search of
heads; A hunting party, consisting of
four Europeans, happening to pass in
a boat, were set upon by the 126 boat
men, with the cry "Glilla Katta," or
cut: throats, and only escaped with
their lives after the greatest difficulty.
The men were arrested and thirty-one
of them sentenced to terms offrom one
to three months imprisonment.
