yesterday in the Congress street case, grant
ing an injunction restraining the City Treas
urer from paying any money to the contrac-
tors, and restraining the defendants from fur

RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN New GLoUeEsTER-


WOMAN KuLED.-Y esterday afternoon, as the
freight train was leaving the New Gloucester
station, the locomotive struck Mrs Foss, who
had jumped from wagon on to the track, and
the whole train passed over her body. Five
other ladies were in the carriage, and from
their account it appears that they were not
aware that train was approaching the cross
ing until it had almost reached them. They
succeeded, however, in getting safely across,

The body of Mrs. Foss was mangled in the
most terrible manner. She was young wo-

bend, to whom she had been. married little
more than year, and an infant child. She
was person of peculiarly amiable character,
and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn

The Washington Chronicle says: In the
course of the recent argument of Judge
Pierrepont he alluded, with most i'm
pressiye effect, to dream of Mr. Lin
coin, which, on several occasions, had
occurred to him before great rational ca
lamities. This dream he had the night
before the assassination, and the next
day he mentioned the fact to Gen. Grant,
among others, saying that he feared some
great evil, and expressing a strong de-
sire to hear from Sherman, who was then
in North Carolina, and whose army was
the only one not in telegraphic commu-
nication with the Capital Judge Pierre
pont did not relate the dream itself !;
but Mr.. Lincoln related it before his
death, and, like everything in any way
connected with this sad tragedy, it can
not fail to have most pathetic interest
He seemed to be at sea III vessel which

the fated ship towards the vortex, and
until, looking down into the black abyss,
amidst the deafening roar of the waves,
and the sensation of sinking down, down,
down an unfathomable depth, the terri
fed dreamer awoke The same terrible
dream Mr.. Lincoln had four times, first
before the first battle of Bull Run, again
before the second disastrous defeat at the
same place, again before the battle Of
Murfreesboro, and, finally, as above men
toned. Lincoln had at last come to re-
cognize the dream as a portent of some
grave disaster, and one can hardly con-
slider his so regarding it mere supersti-
tion. Whether we attribute it to some
supernatural agency or not, it is certain

A laughable yarn is told about some
cOnjugal difference which occurred at the
South Pewablo mines, Lake Superior,
where man and his wife had a severe
quarrel, resulting in his packing his bun
die and starting for Ontonagon, declar-
ing that he would live with her no long
er. She followed him along the road
begging him to return, but he was mex
orable, and trudged on. Finally she be
came so exasperated that she vowed that
if he did not turn about she would strip
herself starked naked, and in that condi-
ton follow him to his journeys end. As
he did not stop, she was as good as her
word, and leaving her clothing by the
roadside, she followed him in the cool
fascinating costume of nature. This only
made him laugh. When they came to
the intersection Of the State road, they
were surprised by a party of young men
who had been out fishing, and the hus-
band began to think the wife's costume
was not exactly the kind prescribed by
court etiquette, and cutting stout switch
he started her back on keen run, not
allowing her to stop to gather up her
clothes. Our informant says she made
splendid time in going from the clearing
to the house, probably becauso she was
not inconv enienced by extra clothing.
Since then both parties have indefinitely
postponed their trip to Ontonagon.

Probably at no time within the last
twenty-five years, has there been 80
earnest and widespread AN interest in
the temperance reform as is witnessed
throughout the whole extent Of the
nation at the present time. 1t seems
that the people are waking up to the
dread realities existing all around.
The dire effect Of the use Of intoxica-
ting liquors is seen in every commu-
nifty, and the traffic in these commodi-
ties, from the retailing OF beer to the
manufacture and sale of'' highwines,
is known to be the prolific source of
misery, vice and crime: and with this
knowledge the people are able to form
something like a correct estimate of
the magnitude of the evil, and the
means necessary for its suppression.
The formation of the Congressional
Temperance Society at Washington
is something new under the sum-"
anu the influence Of that organization
cannot fail of being extensive and
permanent. Who can estimate the
amount Of good which will result to
the West, particularly, from the re-
formation Of Senator Yates, of Illinois
and those acquainted with him and
the characteristics of the man, need
not be told that his pledge will be kept
inviolate. \ noble mind rescued from
its thralldom to the emp, and its pos
SCISSOR, in the strength of redeemed
manhood, blessing the world with an
influence and an example, powerful
and far reaching, cxerted in the over
throw of the giant evil which so long
crippled his energies, and weakened
his noble powers.


In Massachusetts, much interest is
being elected, and temperance prin>
ciples are in the ascendant. a few
days ago the citizens Of Boston gave q
welcome to Senator Wilson in recog-
milton of his services at Washington
in tie great reform. The spacious
fremont Temple was crowded with
admiring thousands, and the worthy
Senator was made to feel that he was
man "whom the people delighted
to honor" In bis speech, which is
said to have been "eloquence person
fled" he paid glowing tribute to
Iowa as leading the van in this noble
work. Massachusetts, will not linger
behind her sister States.


a Prohibitory Law has been enact
ed in Kansas, and every ywhere the
work goes brayely on. In many Of
the larger cities, as well as in places
of less Importance, both in our own
and other States, the sale Of anything
that can intoxicate. whether it be ci-
der, beer. ale or whisky. is strictly
prohibited. We but echo the senti-
ments of all true lovers Of humanity
when We say, let the work of reform

so many Of the evils which curse our

How TO PREVENT GRAY HAIRs.-When

the following pomade has beneficial effect
in preventing the disease extending, and has
the character of even restoring the color Of
the hair in many instances: Lard, four
ounces spermaceti, four drachms oxide Of
bismuth, four drachms. Melt the lard and
spermaceti together, and when getting cold
stir in the bismuth to this can be added any
kind of perfume, according to choice. 1t
should be used whenever the hair requires
dressing 1t must not be imagined that any
good speedily results; it is generally long

COUGHING HoRsEs.-lt is well known
that feeding horses on clover hay often makes
them cough, but the why and wherefore may
not be so generally known. From very ex>
tensiye observation have become satisfied
that the manner of feeding hay to horses is
the cause. The usual custom is to let them
draw it through rack, thus stripping of
the foe dust which adheres to the stalk,
which being drawn into the lungs in respira-
ton, produce the cough. The cure consists
in removing the cause-tbat is the racks
and allowing the animals to take their food
in their natural way. have removed all OF
mine, and now feed my horses on the barn
floor, bavirg breastwork sufficiently high
for them to eat over In this way they can
be fed hay without raisisg a dust, they get
none under their feet, and the labor of clean
ing out the mangers is saved. Whatever is
left is easily pushed out with rake into the
yard for the cattle. The dust on the hay
will do the horses no harm if taken into the
s stomach. Since making the improvement
above mentioned in my feeding appartns, 1
am not troubled with coughing horses. There
is no patent on my invention; my brethren
can use it freely Cor. Country Gentleman

AT O'Clock in the evening, four hours before

rooms OF the most prominent Photographic
artist in the village of Valparaiso, and inquired
of the proprietor of the establishment as to
whether he had any photographs or negatives
OF him in his possession. At that hour OF the

time, and he informed Mr.. Page that he had not

But on the following morning, after the sad
news had been received and when the walls OF

DOMESTIC DIFFICULTIES.


II does not seem possible that a monster
capable of committing such an atrOclous crime
should have ever succeeded in captivating the
affections of being of the opposite SEX and of
leading her to the hymeneal altar Such, how
ever, was the case. Four years ago, c. f. Page
was married, and short time after the honey
moon had waned, he left the bride of his BOSOM
and went to seek his fortune on the, Pacific
coast in the FL Dorado OF the new world. Some
time since he came back and from that period
his acquaintances have noticed that there were
domestic difficulties existing between himself
and the woman he had sworn to love- cherish,
and protect. The wife in a short time applied
for divorce, and the suit would have been
determined during the present month.
