The O'Clock train from Boston last
evening was an half hour late as the re-
suit of very peculiar happening. Some
thing about the whistle of the locomo-
tive gave way so that it could not be
shut off, and the train rushed through
the country from Boston to Lawrence,
81 miles,, an hours run, with the whis-
tie shrieking all the way. 1t must have
astonished the farmers and villages and
passengers, and have been very uncom-
Portable for the engineer and fireman.
But there was no help for it. The
thing couldn't be throtUled for if the en-
gine,was to move there must be steam, and
if there was steam, the whistle must
shrek. The result was that the steam
was used up in that way to such an ex-
tent that the train as an half hour late.

SADIE against Whist he termed its desecra-
ton OF the Sabbath, and succeeded in clos
ing up cigar stores, etc, but VIM. Hunts
man, who operates the news depot here,
sells cigars and other articles IN connection
with papers and periodicals, refused 10
obey the mandate and several times has
been called upon to pay fines for VIOLA
ton Of the ordinance prohibiting sucn
things. Last Thursday, on complaint OF
Rev. Mlligan, he was again mulcted
in the sum of seven dollars fine and
costs. Now, the city has an ordinance
forbidding the riding on bicycles on

the ordinance he has a number Of times
ridden his wheel on the pavement. Taking
advantage Of this Mr.. Huntsman filed an
aifidavit before the Mayor, charging the
reverend gentleman with thus violating
the laws of the city. He was summoned
to appear before His Honor to answer the
charge. Thursday be old so, plead guilty,
and it cost him nine dollars for his little
bit of fun. Retaliation may not be just the
proper thing, but a good many people
think it does no harm to occasionally give

will know how it works
