4 remarkable ana almost miracu-
lous escape from Il horrible death by
the cars happened at the railroad
crossing near the custom house last
Saturday, just as the train was con-
ing in from Gorham. A woman, ac-
companied by her daughter, was driv-
ing over the crossing, when the buggy
was struck by the engine; the horse
jumped on to the station platform, the
engine hurting the buggy there also,
overturning it, and throwing out its
occupants. Both escaped injury, be-
ing more frightened than hurt. ~

have been fatal. The woman was
repeatedly warned back by Mr.. Thos.
CRANE, but without avail, and, while
all regret the mishap, she has only
herself to blame for the loss of her eggs
and berries, and broken harness.
1t would be good thing if the com
pany would place gates and flag

The coming term of our county court,
like many of its predecessors, promises
to be light in work. There are only
43 cases on the law docket, and prob
ably not more than one or two of them
will be tried by jury at this term. The
case of East Haven US. Newark in
wolves questions of the settlement of a
pauper, and no one can conjecture
where such questions will lead. If the
case of Aldrich VS.. Weeks ct ais is tried
it cannot occupy more than two days
at the longest. So there is q prospect
of q short term. 1t is u grand jury
term and that may lengthen the SEES
sion and increase the business. From
our observation we judge there has
been very little criminal business
Matching for the term unless the mat-
ter of violations OF the liquor and fish
and game laws should be gone into.
The small number of cases on the cal
endar, the smallest for many years,
speaks we'll for the peace and the har-
monIous business relations of our citi-

Circumstances prevented our at
tendance at the Democratic rally last
Friday evening; but we are informed
that many were disappointed in its
influence on our voters. The meeting
seems to have been chilled by an un-
fortunate allusion in its opening to
personal and irrelevant matters with
which the voters have no concern in
this election, but which belong to the
town meetings. Mr.. Meldon's address
was delivered in good taste. lie is a
young man, of pleasant manners and
easy style, and many passages in his
speech, like his eulogy of Tilden, were
appreciated. But as near us we can
Judge, his own party, or many men,
bers of it at least, were much disap-
pointed in the argument of the cause,
and the speaker did not leave it quite
as evident to the friends of the admin
istration that it was the only thing
essential to the salvation of the coun-
try as was expected. We have no oc-
casion to examine Mr.. Meldon's argu-
ment. 1t did not disturb Republicans.
Ills treatment of them was scarcely
caustic enough to be interesting. For
its effects see election returns from this
town, published in another column.
