gmporfations of Fereign Goods from
Canada.


Canada.
The Secretary of the Treasury has issued
the following circular to Collectors Of Gus.
toms in regard to importations of foreign goods
from Canada:
1t has been ascertained that large quantities
of goods manufactured in Europe have hereto
fore been imported from Canada at ports on
our northern frontier, which were invoced in
Canada at the original European values, and
which have been passed at our Custom Houses
without any addition being made to raise the
invoice prices to the market values OF the
goods in the markets of Canada. These goods
it is understood, were not destined for the Uni
ted States at the time of their shipment from
the European country of manufacture, but
were imported into Canada for the purpose of
being sold in that country either for consump-
ton or for export to the United Statas as cir.
cumstances might require.
By reference to article SOB of the Regala-
lions of 1884, 1t will be found that In such cas-
es merchandise imported from one country,
being the growth, production or manufacture
of another country, will be appraised at the
actual value in the principal markets of the
country from which Immediately imported"
The attention of Collectors and other officers
OF the Customs is particularly called to this
requirement of the regulations, and Collectors
are instructed that in all cases where, in their
opinion, the entered and appraised value of
imported merchandise is too low, it is their
duty to order q reappraisement, either of the
principal appraisers or by three merchants, and
to see that the questions involved as above
stated are fully presented at the hearing.

JOSHUA Clark is an eccentric old bachelor,
about rs years Of age, who for years has lived
the life of a hermit on the road leading from
Goedwin's Mills to Limerick. His buildings
are sadly in need of repair, the barn being go
shattered that one can see through it. In this
barn he has kept stallion, now II years old,
which has never been taken from the stable
since he was colt. He is light bay, with a
black name and tail, very thin in flesh and
having never been shod, his hoofs !are about a
foot in length. Last Saturday night the ami
NAL was stolen from the stable and a reward is
now offered by his owner for his return. 1t is
thought that the theft was committed by
boys out of simple amusement, or that it was
done by some who wished to dispose of the
animal to a circus.

AN INTERVENING REmrNrscRNCE
Of the Laying of the Corner Stone of the
Old Masonic Temple in Boston.

In Saturdays Boston Transcript Hon.
William Goold of Windham publishes the fol-
lowing interesting Renaissance of the laying
OF the corner stone of the old Boston Masonic
Temple ia 1850, a time when there was much
anti-Masonic feeling caused by Morgan's alb
duction:
Your article brings forcibly to my mind a
ludicrous incident of the laying of the corner
stone, on the morning of Oct. IA, $780,
1t was my first visit to Boston, having that
summer obtained my majority. Such a snowy
procession had never seen, nor so large one.
The fraternity throughout New England felt
the Importance of making a demonstration.
Men of all ages and conditions appeared in the
pageant, on foot or in carriages. Faneuil Hall
square was damned full of jeering crowd,
who made Insulting remarks on any old or
young man of peculiar dress or appearance as
he came out of the hall entrance-the process
sion had been formed inside the building, fear
ing riot. The basement of the Pew building
had been completed and floored over. The
derrick and corner stone were at the north
corner. On the arrival of the procession it
was the work of half an hour for the police
and marshals to force an entrance to the plat
form. The noisy crowd seemed determined
mat the exercises should not go on. After
much pushing by the police and gentlemanly
persuasion BY the gr and master, space was
cleared sufficiently large for the officers to be-
gin the ceremonies. A prayer was offered by
the chaplain, which stilled the crowd for
few moments, during which they had evil
IDENTIFY taken breath, when the shouts and
ieers again began. The grand master then
proceeded to hold up and describe the articles
he was placing in the boz to be inserted in the
cavity Of the stene. The street was wet, and
some one had dropped red pongee silk hand
kerchief in the mud. In the midst of the
grand masters description of articles going in
to the box, man With cane discovered the
red handkerchief, aud with his stick fished it
up, and, after flourish, said, "Here is Nor
~ on to the box. Although it was insulting
the act was SO well done, and in So good
nature, that the Masons joined in the laugh,
and the stone was laid without further
hindrance. This incident had more quieting

WAS Ut MURDER7
New Developments i'm the History of a
Mysterious Case at Norway.

A Norway letter to the Oxford Democrat
says that new facts relating to the death of
George 81. Richardson, which occurred some
ten or dozen years ago, have just come to
light. 1t will be remembered by those who
knew about the matter at the time that Rich
ardson, a young man of quiet and inoffensiye
manners, was found one morning under
walk leading to building which was used as
piano key factory at Steep Falls, just alive,
with an ugly looking bruise or wound on the
side of the head. In few hours he died. An
autopsy revealed the fact that there was
quantity of laudanum in his stomach. While
1t was suspected that he had been foully dealt
with, it was generally believed that he being
such an inoffensive fellow, no one could have
any motive to do him az injury, and although
there was something of an investigation moth
ing ever came of it. 1t is now said that there
is a man and woman here who know that
George I'll. Richardson was murdered. That
wooden shovel made the wound on the side of
the head that caused death. But for what pur-
pose the laudanum was given is mystery That
his body was dragged from the place where
he was struck and laid under the walk that it
might appear that he fell off, thus causing his
death. That there was grass in his hair and
on his clothes. The shovel has not been seen
from that day to thie. The woman alluded to
was not called to testify at the investigation.
Had she been, it is said that the murderer
would be in the State prison rather than be 60
ing at large as he is now.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
THE NoRTHERN RA1LRoAp.


The annual report of the directors of the
Northern Railroad Company shows that the
gross increase for the past year, including earn
ings for May and June, 1884, and rental from
the Boston & Lowell Railroad Company was
$2OS,79S; the expenses we're $72,11S, which,
with balances from previous reports and the
balance taken for improvement account leaves
$132, 513 on hand. A lease of the road to the
Boston q Lowell was ratified by the stockhold-
ers June 18th, 1884 Soon after its execution,
two suits were instituted by the stockholders,
one to break the lease and the other to secure
division of the surplus, both of which are
still pending. The directors do not deem it
for the interests of the stockholders to divide
the entire surplus until the lease is declared
valid by the courts The company has no
funded debt, but is liable as guarantor upon
S299,000 of bonds issued by the Concord &
Claremont railroad, the interest upon and the
renewal of which are assumed by the Boston
& Lowell.
Referring to the charges made by certain
stockholders, of Irregularities in connection
with the sale of the Sullivan county railroad
by the Northern directors, the latter state that
the testimony in relation thereto is now being

possible moment. The late president, Henry
