FIELD A CO. ™ "j uouce easiey, Bna ex-Goyernor Bedle presented the great seal of the Btate to Governor McClellan, who then delivered his inaugnral address. He opened with a reference to the necessity for economy in public expenditure, referred to the coun try s finances and to other national and State topics, and said further that “he who fails to exert himself to secure the selection of good and honest men for office, who abstains from young who does not keep himself Informed on the acUon of the authortUes and use his influ- enc© to guide them aright, not only neglects a paramount duty, but under such iustltutlocs as ours is guilty of a grave fault.” By an explosion in a mine ne:ir Ashland, Pa., four men were killed and three wounded. The explosion was caused by a quantity of sulphur gas catching fire. As an excursion train was returning from a Moody and Sankey meeting in Hartford, Conn., it fell through a trestle bride into the Farmington river, and a number of persons were killed or injured. Twelve physicians of Hartford were sent to the scene of disaster in a relief train. About thirteen persons are known to have been killed and fifty wounded by the plunging of the railroad train through a bridge across the Farmington river, Conn. The train was a special, with two engines and eleven cars, and left Hartford at nine p. si, with nearly six hundred persons, who had been attending a re vival meeting of Moody and Sankey. aftcr passing the central pier of the bridge the engines sank through the structure and were followed bv the smoking and passenger cars, which fell one upon another. Although the nver was shallow the undermost passengers were drowned in the jam, while others were thrown into the water where the ice had been broken by the weight .of the cars and were taken out nearly frozen. The residents of the vicinity improvised sledges of saplings and boughs, with cushions from the wrecked cars, and on these dragged the victims of the disas ter up the slope of the bank, whence they were taken to Hartford or to'the neighboring houses. Samuel Bowles, editor of the Springfield (Mass ) Republican, died in that city of paraly sis of the brain, aged fifty-two years. Mr. Bowles was widely known throughout the coun try and was one of the most successful of New England editors. The New Hampshire Democratic State con vention was held in Concord and resulted in the nomination of Frank A. McKean for gov ernor. The platform adopted reaffirms the national Democratic platform of 1876 ; con gratulates “ all good citizens upon the happy results which have ensued through the adop tion of Democratic principles by the national administration in the Southern States;” de clares opposition to all measures by which the S ublic credit may be impaired ; opposes subsi- ies and land grants to private corporations ; favors State rights and free trade ; calls for stricter supervision of insurance companies and savings banks, and demands more severe pun ishment for official neglect and fraud. A man passing under the name of James W. Johnson, but whose real name is Jacques, for merly a broker in Chicago, killed a woman in New York named Mrs. Surnam, who had de serted her husband and was living with her murderer.

If you want to buy a dog the following piece of information may prove of ser vice : The way to tell the age of a dog approximately is to examine the upper ^ront teeth. Until eighteen months old these are rounded on the edge ; at the end of two years they begin to square off, and gradually wear down and shorten, until, when the animal has entered the Bixth year, they are nearly even with the gums. The appearance of the eye is also an indication of age, and all dark- colored dogs show their years by the growth of white hairs about the muzzle. of hydrophobia L. M. Brown, sixty years of age, a respected citizen of Jamestown, N. Y., committed suicide by hanging himself in a barn. The New Jersey editorial convention met at Trenton and elected officers. The secretary’s report shows that there are twenty-one daily and 144 weekly papers in the State.

Adjourned. CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY. Centrifugal Force. The Cincinnatti Gazette of a recent date says : About nine o’clock yester day morning, at the Globe rolling mills, on Front street, near the foot of Park, a small band connecting the governor of the engine with the large cast iron fly, slipped off its pulley, and caused the flywheel to revolve with such fear ful velocity that it flew to pieces, shoot ing immense bolts of iron at every tangent. One large piece was thrown forward through the roof of the build ing and into the river bank, a distance of one hundred yards. Another large piece was driven backward through the roof, flying across the street, and fall ing through the roof of a building in the gas wroks, broke through the second and first floors of the building, and lodged in the cellar. ~AnaiULi, uiia, most destructive of all, was dashed on straightforward a distance of probably a hundred feet, where it made a hole a foot in diameter in the forward end of a boiler. On its way it struck a large shearing machine, some of the frag ments of which broke the right leg of Hugh Coker, au ashman, and injured him otherwise in the body. The volume of escaping steam from the boiler scald ed William Bryan, the engineer, from head to foot, although he stood in the engine room fifty or sixty feet in front of the boiler, where he was engaged in trying to readjust the band. His father, James Bryan, superintendent of the mill, was struck in the face with some splinters, and injured slightly. Singu larly enough, although nearly a hundred other men were in the imme diate vicinity of the accident, no one else was hurt. Mr. James Elstner, who had been at the mills on business, had just left the spot where one of the pieces struck only a moment or two before the accident happened. The flywheel was of about twelve feet in diameter, and weighed proba bly ten tons. It was so completely demolished that but little remains except a few broken spokes on oue side, and the ragged hub ou the other. The spokes are from six to eight inches in diameter. The wheel will be replaced to-day to-morrow. or Senate. Bills were introduced and referred to author ize the payment of fees of counsel for the de fense of poor persons in the courts of the United States ; to promote immigration to the United States, and to protect.immigrants ; for the restoration of wages in the government printing office At tho expiration of the morning hour, the resolution of Mr. Matthews in regard to the payment of bonds in silver was taken up as the unfinished business, and then laid aside for the resolution submitted by Mr Voorhoes before the holidays, declaring that it is of the highest importance that the finan cial credit of the government be maintained, and in order to d > so tho government itself, 1 in all its departments, should in good faith, keep all i’.s contracts and obligations entered into with its own citizens. Mr. Voorhees then addressed the Senate in support of the resolu tion, and the Senate adjourned. The yeas and nays upon the motion of Mr. MoriNl—made before tho holiday recess—to refer the resolution of Mr. Matthews declaring the right of government to pay the bonds in silver were taken, and it was rejected by a vote of 31 to 19 Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, formally announced the death of his colleague, the late' Senator Bogy, and eulogies were de livered by Messrs.

(Jueer Matches. The newspapers are collecting prece dents for the action of the aged Air. Lord in marrying Airs. Hicks iu New York. The Philadelphia Bulletin cites the case of a physician in Worcester, eicrhty years old, who married a woman of twenty-eight, and still continued to drug and drench the sick people of the town, A blacksmith ninety years old, in the same place, took for a bride a girl of eighteen, and escaped the mad house. It is related of a man in Berk shire that he married when at the age of seventy-six a girl whom his third wife had brought up. Another case is that of a soldier who ’had served in the wars, and at the age of ninety-five still carried a bullet iu his nose, taking as his wife a girl of fifteen. In Scotland iu 17-19 Air. W.

Be yond this his age was about twenty-three, his hair brown and full in lock, his eyes of a gray ish blue. His way quickly bronght the traveler to a stream now running over its banks. SUpping easily from his saddle, he tightened the girths, slackened the crupper, and, gently patting his impart to his companion his own energy and determination, and moved into the creek. Turning up the stream, he proceeded for about a hundred yards along the bank, and then struck boldly across in a direct line, with the horse's head slanted up current.

Upon the arrival of Mr. Taylor, he and the squire retired for a consultation, to which they after awhUe caUed Randy, the vagrant. They then returned to the traveler, and, after hear ing his account once more, and comparing the time of his leaving Mr. Taylor with that of his arrival at the squire’s, they proceeded to the creek in company. . _ .. . , , Upon their arrival the squire addressed the animal, addressed a few affectionate words to i traveler: him. Remounting, he fixed himself firmly in “I have taken counsel with Mr. Taylor the saddle, gathered his bridle in a manner to touching this ease, which seems a deep mys- 1 tery, after aU the information we have been so far able to gather ; the lady seems unknown oven to Randy, who visits every house in this and the adjoining counties, and you are equally a stranger to us. I consider, however, that you have been fuUy discharged from any con nection with the affair. We must first attempt to gather sometbiug from the lady herself.” At this potet the doctor came out of the sick , . , . . , ,, . i room. He stated that the lady had greatly im- courso of eighty yards, and the stranger was . p rov ed during tho night, and that the wound. congratulating himself upon the probability of j was, in all probability, not serious ; the lady getting over without a wetting, when the ani mal in two steps increased the depth until he could no longer hold his footing, and sprung boldly into the middle of a deep, rushing channel. In an instant the rder had seized the mane of tbe horse in his left hand, and slipped smoothly out of the saddle to the lower side, where he floated along. Man and.beast battled bravely with the flood for a moment, when tbe former was startled to feel the horse flinch and turn with a terrific snort down the current A quick j erk upon the left rein served to procure but an instant's pause in the precipitate course of tbe beast, but in that instant tbe stranger became aw«re of another presence by the touch of a slimy object against his band. Raising his head above the neck of the charger, he saw dimly ontlined upon the wav ing and shimmering surface a dark and unde- finable object. The next moment the desper ate plunges of the beast had obstructed his vision, when, with the self-command of one accustomed and nerved to the hardship of athletic sports and a soldier’s danger, he swung his leg over the back of the animal and gathered himself up in the saddle. Reaching ont a hand, he was about to seize the object of bis horror, when it exposed the ghastly features of a woman. For an instant only he hesitated ; then, re covering from the thrill, he grasped the head firmly by tbe loose, flowing, tangled mass of raven tresses, and raised it above water on the pommel of his saddle. Turning his head again up stream, he re newed the combat with the tide. Twice it seemed as though man, woman a'.d beast must all succumb, and twice the noble struggles of the animal cheated the turgid grave of its victims. Finally, the hoofs once more crunched the firm bottom of the stream, and ten paces brought the party safely to the shore. * * * * Feeling the forehead, he found it cold ; the hands were also chilled, but he thought he felt a slight flutter of the pulse. Tearing open the dress, he pressed his hand against the heart and found it still warm. His efforts to resuscitate her were soon re warded, and, after a few moments, tho woman made an attempt to speak, which resulted, however, only iu a moaning cry. At this po nt he began to look for other assistance, when he observed a light upon the hill above the creek. Once more raising tbe body to the pommel of the saddle, and mount ing behind it, he sought the road. * * * * One stepped around to receive the woman, and another entered the house to procure the- stimulant. “ What’s this?” said the one who was assist ing the traveler in dismounting the woman. “Send for the nearest physician at once.” They lifted the motionless but reviving form into the house and deposited it upon a sofa. The stimulant was soon brought, and, upon a small portion of it being administered, the woman indicated an increased vitahty by a broken gurgle. This, after a while, gave way to cicaicr articulation in whtei>, n- - -> ij- syilables w*** -emttad. These were in turn succeeded by one or two sharp cries of pain, which gradually subsided into a moaning chat ter of wailing, incoherent sentences. At this point the stranger in raising his hand to her head to brush the tangled hair from her brow, noticed a clot of blood upon the wet skin of his finger; rubbing it off, he found no trace of a wound. “ She must be bleeding!” he ejaculated; “see if there is a cut anywhere.” An examination soon revealed a ghastly wound, an ugly, gaping abrasion upon tho left side of tho head, above the ear, and just be hind the temple. The locks were matted over it, and the blood still oozed slowly from its mouth. Pending the arrival of a doctor, the stranger clipped tho hair from around the wound, and, after bathing it with feminine tenderness, ho gave the patient over to the charge of the ladies of the house who were in attendance. * * * * “I presume you are the host, sir,” said he, at once, addressing the elder of the two. “If you will be kind enough to let me have a bed, until I can rest for an hour or so and dry my clothing, I shall resume my journey under great obligation to you. Matters of importance urge me to lose no time, and I shall only delay until my horse can recruit for the balance of my ride. In fact, but for the incident of finding the unfortunate lady in the creek, I should have continued on the road without consulting my comfort so far. ’ “ Will you tell me how you happened upo;. the adventure, aud how you account for the lady’s wound and present condition V” The traveler gave a brief account of tho events, without, however, throwing any light upon bis own identity or business. “May I ask your name, sirV” inquired the host, w’hom wo will introduce to the reader as Mr. Thornton, or Squire Thornton, as he was dubbed by his neighbors in honor of his being a justice of the peace. * * * * “ I beg pardon for the misconstruction. My name is Gaspard Durer, a short while since a soldier in the French service. Do you see anything in my appearance or anything else about this case which justifies you iu interro gating mo officially ?” “ Until one who is found with a body that has keen murdered or dangerously assaulted has accounted satisfactorily for his presence there there is a legal suspicion fixed upon him."’ * * * * “ If I must be detained to satisfy the law, I yield to the annoyance with as little impatience as possible where the officer of the law exer cises his duties so courteously.” After a few more remarks were passed, the squire bade his son Eddie conduct the gentle man to his room and see him well provided for the night. After the traveler had left, the vagrant still lingeted. Shifting his hat restlessly but mechan ically. he seemed to resume a conversa tion which had probably been interrupted by tho stranger’s exit from the stable. “ ’Pears to me now”—an expression which in dicated the result of some mighty reflection for his calibre—“ ’Pears to me as he ain’t telling the truth. He ain’t named Gasper Doray, be cause he’d a said so fust. ’Pears to me he looks like old Raoul Dupuy, and Gaston afore him ; and, if 1 ain’t mistaken, he’s been in these parts afore.” “ Who’s the woman, Randy! 1 ” “ I have been lookin' at her, but ’pears to me I never seen her afore—leastways, she don’t come from above here.” “Tho resemblance of Durer to the Dupuys is striking, and I thought at first he was the son of Gaston, who had been absent so long. What think you my son V” “ Can’t say, father, but his resemblance to Mr. Dupuy at tbe manor would be noticed by any one." “Perhaps,” suggested tho vagrant, “he’s a son of Dupuy himself, if half they bring from furrin parts is c’rect; ’pears to me he must have more’n one.” “And your friend Raoul ain’t too good for a fraud or'a lie,” chirped the vagrant. “We will dispense with your comments on the characters of my friend,” retorted the squire. “ No offence, squire, but ’spenso or no ’spent-e, I knows the laws, and I allers take care to have proof afore I says a libel ou any man.” “ What do you know of Raoul Dupuy, villian, that you dure maintain such a thing concerning his character, which is polluted by your mention of it.” Never mind what 1 know, squire, so long as I ain’t said it,” answered tbe tramp. * * * * “What is your opinion, doctor?” asked the squire. ’ , . , “It is rather early to ask an opinion about tho patient, squire The skull is fractured, and it may be necessary to trepan it, if any portion is bearing on the brain.” Do yon think the blow will_ permanently had even recovered, in a measure, the control of her mental faculties and language, though she was not fully conscious or coherent as yet. * * * * The squire, Mr. Taylor, the traveler and the doctor together proceeded to the bedside of tho unfortunate woman, the stranger — being assured of his release by the words of tho squire—first ordering a servant to bring his horse to the door before leaving the piazza. Upon reaching the bed the woman opened her eyes, and seeing the kind, manly face of the squire and Mr. Taylor, she faintly smiled, and ran her eyes over the rest of the group. She passed the doctor without any variance of expression, and then rested them upon the face of the stranger. The eyes became set in a horrible stare, the light forsook them, the pupils dilated, she raised herself to a sitting posture by a convul sive movement of the arms; then, crouching to her knees and throwing herself wildly down on her face, she shrieked out with a curdling moan: “ Oh, oh, Dupuy! don’t, don’t!” and con sciousness once more left her. Despite his self-command, the traveler paled, lie at once retired with the gentlemen, how ever, to the piazza. Nothing had passed be tween the group until the doctor broke a pain ful constraint which had fallen upon a 1. “Gentlemen,” said he, “the worst mishap that conld befall this unfortunate lady bas just occurred through her having seen this gentle man, Mr. Durer. She is a raring maniac. She may die she may recover after a lingering illness; but, in any event, she will be fortu nate if she ever recovers her reason. Darkness bas settled upon her brain for a long night, which may never be followed by ihe diwn." “To wh t, doctor,” asked the squire, “do you attribute her shock?” ‘•She was evidently stricken with horror at the sight of Mr. Durer, whom, from my knowledge of the laws of tho human brain, she has in some way associated with the violence which lias been done her, to her great terror.” There was a pause, a painful lull. Then the squire spoke to Durer. “The case, sir, has taken a new turn. You will not be surprised that I conclude it my duty to commit you, to await further developments in the matter. * • * * Upon the last syllable he strode from the piazza, booted and'spurred, his steps clanging ai echo to his voice. One spring and ho was vaulted into his saddle ; he brushes away the servant who holds his bit with imperial disdain, and turns his horse at the gate. The animal clears it with the activity and fire of his master; gathers himself on the other side, and before the squire can recover from tho stupor of amazement, is off like the wind.

'Phio shows a total increj&e of the debt in ten years of up- 1 wai<l of $420,000,000, and an annual in- j cYease of $42,000,000. With the.iQ facts staring us in the face it. is not an exug- j gerated statement to say that the citieu in the United States have to-day a debt of $1,000,000,000, half tbe sum of the national debt, and an additional expen diture of $220,000,000, within $40,000,- 000 of the national expenses. The lia bilities are increasing at the rate of $50, - 000,000 yearly, involving au additional charge of $3,000,009 upon the taxpayers. Allowing for the groat shrinkage in values, and continued depression iu business, we find that the property of taxpayers has already been actually mortgaged for fifteen per cent, of its value; and as this debt has increased at the rate of $42,000,000 yearly, the mort gages will continue to increase at the rate of one per cent, annually, and iu another decade will amount to twenty- five per cent, of the assessed valuation of the property.

Porter then read a table showing that the total State indebtedness of the United States is $363,170,976, while the municipal indebtedness of one hundred jmd thirty cities is upward of $275,000,- 000 more than the entire State debt. State debts then are distributed about as follows: Western States, $2.80 per capita; Eastern States, $8 per capita; and Southern States $22 per capita. ——————— • The word “milliner” came from Milaner, a tradesman at Milan, Italy, who was the first to make a specialty of woman’s head-coverings.

National wars, State dissensions, neighborhood broils, and family differences, are more frequently than otherwise the result of diseased and disordered constitutions. When the body is suffering, the mind, acting hi sympathy, will become irritated and perplexed. ! When tiie physical system is in health, the 1 mind perceives things iu their true light, and i the disposition assumes a very different phase. Nothing more directly tends to destroy the happy, cheerful disposition of a woman, and render her peevish, nervous and fretful, than a constant endurance of uterine disorders. ; The diseases peculiar to women take away the elasticity and buoyancy of health and reduce her body and mind to a mere wreck. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a real peace maker in a family. No woman suffering from uterine disorders can afford to be without this remedy.
