AN IRISH PATRIOT IN TOWN.

Dennis B. Cashman, Who Was One of
 the Political Prisoners of '65.
 Dennis B. Cashman was in the city to-day on business. Mir Cashman's name is surrounded with a flood of recollections, dear to all who ever cherished a hope of seeing a free Ire land. He was one of the sixty-three political prisoners, who in October '67, sailed from England in the Hougomont, for Freemantle, Australia. On this long voyage the men used to amuse themselves by editing a paper which they named the "Wild Goose" The editor-in-chief was John Boyle O'Reilly, and D. B. Cashman, John Flood and J. Edward Kelly were associate editors, Mir Cashman was confined in the next cell to the late Stephen J. Meany, at one tune editor of the DEMOCRAT, and it ii amusing to hear him tell how they used to converse with each other by means oi rapping on the walls of their cells.

Ghosts at Essex,

ESSEX, April 8,-There is much ex- citement here over a would be ghost that is visiting houses in the north dis trict, and peeping in at windows. A few days since the inmates of house in that district were startled by a noise in their dooryard and in a few moments a hideous face was pressed against the window pane. The male portion of the family started out in pursuit and in the moonlight could discern an outline of a figure dressed in white, which rapidly disappeared. At different houses the same face has been seen, and the noise of the same person prowling around has been heard. A woman, closely yelled, has been seen quite often in thls vicin- 1ty, and it is suspected that she may be the ghost. Several young people have been badly frightened by the sudden ap pearance of the figure clad in white al night.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Three Dollars a Share Offered For the
 Meriden Road Stock.

F. H. Prince & Go, of Boston, who re- gently bought the Meriden, Waterbury 6 Connecticut River railroad, have issued circular offering to buy the stock from other shareholders for $3 a share to avoid foreclosure. They say the bonds have never paid interest and foreclosure is possible at any time. They do not say, so far as appears, what :hey paid for the control of the road. The Home national bank of Meriden will pay cash for the certificates on or before May l.
 The New York Times yesterday told a long story of the return of Austin Corbin to the New England road. It says that Messrs Bostwick and Starbuck got proxies for him and then turned against him. He got mad and sold his 1000 shares at about 59 that cost him under 40. This neat profit of $160, ,000 did appease his wrath and now, says the account, he has been buying back the stock at below 40 and contemplates controlling the road again. As the present officers are in for year, he will probably live on his dividends till next March, but the story doesn't consider that point.
 The yestibuled night express trains between Brooklyn and Boston over the Eastern States line are to be withdrawn early in May and day trains substituted The night trains do not pay. The new trains will leave each end early in the day and make the run III little over six hours.

 "Cub" Stricker was some months ago ly signed with the Boston Reds for $3, ,OOO. Won der Ahe offered him $1 500, which was refused. On April 1 the limit expired to do business with as- signed players who had previous con- tracts. The Washington club applied for Stricker April ,, and agreed to pay him the Boston contract price. Strlcker will play second base and Dan Richard son third, with Hardy Richardson in the outfield.
 Adrian c. Anson, captain of the Chicago white stockings for so many years, has of late been afflicted with that bugaboo of ball players, a glass arm, which he fears, will prevent him from playing very often with his team this season. Schriver will cover first base. Anson's only hope is that, in accordance with the new rule allowing a team to be coached from the bench, he will still, in certain sense, be in the game which he 80 dearly loves.
 Slattery has batted and fielded finely on the trip of the Boston unions. He is better man than many league fielder.
 Bob Petit has signed to play at second base or in the outfield for Providence.
