An English philosopher puts forth the proc

that is consoling—the catastrophe will not
happen for fortv-6ix million years. Many of

It has been found necessary to remove the

We have received the catalogue of the offi
cers and students of the Maine Central In
tute at Pittsfield, for the present rear. There
are 30 scholars in the college preparatory
Course, 24 in the ladies’ course, 18 in the nor
mal department, und 180 in the academical
course. Aggregate for the year, 850. Mr.
D. M. Waitt of this city is teacher of Pen
manship and Book-keeping. This institution
is under the direction of the Free B.ipti.-t de
nomination, and is conducted on the plan of
tiie best New England institutions of similar

At half past four o'clock yestordiy morn
ing, a freight train on the P. S. & Portland
Kailroad, ran off the track near Kennc
bunk, and made a complete wreck of eleven
cars, piling them up on both sides of the
track iu all sorts of shape. Three cars were
piled up on top of the other. Two were lit
erally stove to atoms. The larger numbers,
contained little or no freight. Fortunately
no one was injured. The accident caused a
delay to the morning passenger train, and
passengers and baggage had to lie transferred
to a special train that was sent to the scene of
disaster from Kennebunk. Sup’t Chase had a
large force of men sent to the spot who, at
Boon, had succeed'd in removing the debris
and rebuilt the track, so that the afternoon
passenger train, which left Boston at half past
seven o’clock in the morning, was enabled to
pass over after a detention of about ton min
utes.
The telegrapii wires were also thrown down,
but after a few hours elelay were put up
again. The cause of the accident is attrib
uted to the breaking of an axle.
The proceedings in court which usually
run very smoothly were thrown off the track
yesterday by a somewhat unpleasant episode.
On the opening of the court in the morning,
the flowage case Plimpton vs. Ki chard a and
als., Executors, being o'n trial, Mr. Baker
counsel for deft’s moved the court that the
cate be withdrawn front the jury, and the
jury discharged, for the reason that one of
their number had, while riding in the car
from Ilallowcll, permitted a person to talk
with him about the ease, and listened to re
marks highly prejudicial to the deft’s and
calculated to bias the juror’s judgment. An
examination of witnesses who were pres
ent seemed fully to make out the truth of the
charge. It appeared that the person offend
ing had been attending court as a spectator,
but was not a witness in the case, nor in any
way interested in it. The Judge proposed,
with tlie assent of counsel on the ptfs side, that
the obnoxious juror should retire nnd the trial
proceed with the remaining eleven. This
thedeft’s by their counsel declined to do. They
also absolutely declined to proceed further in
their defence, to oiler any testimony, or sub
mit any argument. 15ut the Judge deeming it
proper that the cause should go to the jury,
notwithstanding the improper conduct of the
juror, proceeded to charge them, the ptff
waiving his right to argue. The jury took
the case and returned with u verdict for pt’ff
assessing damages at §125. Of course the
case will go to the fuU court to be examined
as to the regularity and legality of the trial.

The “Watchman and Reflector," one of the
leading religious journals in the country, in
its issue of June 23d, in alluding to the ad
vertise nun t of the California Wine Company,
No. 75 Milk street, Boston makes the follow
ing remarks:
“None but narrow-minded extremists will
l*e troubled with the advertisement in our col
umns ot pure wine, and all others will be
glad to see it. We insert it in the interest ot
temperance and good morals. There are
times and circumstances in which wine is
necessary and usel . 1; wine is needed tor the
invalid and for the communion tulle, and
wlun the markkas flooded with impure, poi
sonous, soul and body destroying compounds,
it is our duly, as it is that of every honest news
paper, to k t the public know where that which
is pure can be oouuned. This is a sound po
sition, and the impracticable radicals are wel
come to make all the capital out of it which
they arc able It is u position which com
mends itself to every church member who
would exclude vile compounds from the Lord's
table, to every honest physician, and to the
public gv nerully. We hope never to be so
carried aw«y w ith a theory as to lose our com
mon sense.”

What is Vitality?—Some philosophers
call it Animal Magnatism, some Nervous j
Force, others, Caloric, but by whatever name
n may be called, the thing meant is the main '

i.orii, and Wsdch may be nourished by proper ,
attention to the r» quireimnts of the body and
the avoidance of excesses; it is wasted or
destroyed by over-taxing the mind with study
or anxiety and intemperate indulgences, in
deed, it requires an expenditure of vitality
lor every thought or action equal to the mag
nitude of tlie thought or action. When the
body and the brain are well balanced, the :

nut w hen the brain is large in proportion, the !

Loudon.
London, Nov. 9. The Tours government
promises to issue a manifesto shortly, ex
plaining the cause of the rupture of the ne
gotiations at Versailles. The Gazette tie
France demands an immediate election to put
an end to the arbitrary act of the provisional
government.
There are 20,000 German troops in Dijon
with tiO pieces of field artillery. The citizens
of the town have been forced to contribute
500.000 tranes as surity for the behavior of
the inhabitants.
A barricade committee lias been formed at
Lyons. The authorities recently received
5.000 Remington rities. Vast quantities of
stores and large numbers ot cattle have been
collected in anticipation of a siege. "The
army of the Loire numbers 10;000; artillery
is abundant, but in horses and saddlery they
arc deficient.
The men are weil equipped and fed. The
French Generals cannot make it out why they
have been permitted to concentrate so large a
torce unmolested.
The French themselves when changing
fronts at Salbois intended to attack, but did
not bccuuse the movement was extended to
six days instead of 24 iiours. Their failure
was due to the interference ot the Tours gov
ernment, which insisted on directing every
detail and had its own plan of battle, every
thing broken down from sheer ignorance and
incapacity, and yet the General# are now
blamed tor delay.
A Herald correspondent at Versailles on
the 5th inst., writes as follows :
News hus reached us to-day creating great
excitement, and leads to the feeling that
something on a large scale mat be expected
at any moment. Preparations to meet it are
being made. Reports trom the south of
France are of an extraordinary nature. The
foreign departments have absolutely seceded
trom the rest of France, and in conjunction
with Algins, are engaged in the organization
of a separate government.
It is now intimated that an assault on 1’aris
is delayed only to await the development of
affairs within the city.
Tours.
Tours, Nov. 9. A despatch from Arlon
states that heavy connonading was heard in
the direction of Thionville on Saturday and
Sunday.
The Prussians in front of Paris have trained
hawks to capture carrier pigeons sent out of
Paris with despatches.
The Italian authorities occupy Quirinel
as a state of property. The work of organ
izing the army is making satisfactory pro
gress.
The government continues to withhold all
news of tiie movements of the French armies,
and the people are loud in their expressions
of dissatisfaction. The military men, how
ever, seem quite confident.
Advices from Paris up to Gth inst. have
been received. The Parts government con
tinues to enforce vigorous measures for the
preservation of public order.
Additional arrests have been made.
The First Regiment of the National Guard,
organized for active service, made a prome
nade on the 8ih, outside of the fortifications.
They went as far as Auberville and returned
without meeting the enemy.
The forts of Votinen, Roseny and Nogcnt
by tiie rapidity and precision of their tire,
prevent the enemy from establishing any
seige works within range of their guns.
Earthworks are thrown up by tiie beseigers
in the night, but destroyed by the French
gunners during the day.
It is said the government at Tours contem
plate taking tiie plebiscitum for tiie ratifica
tion of their powers. M. Rochefort resigned
in disgust at the insults he received from the
people in whose cause lie had made so many
sacrifices.
Versailles.
Versailles, Nov. !). Seven ofthe Aeronants
caiitureJ Irom l>aloons which fell within the
Prussian lines, have been sent to the fortrers
in Germany. It is said that the papers found
in them seriously compromize members ot
the corps diplomatique and others whose
hanor lmd been trusted.
The 4th Prussian division has arrived in
the vicinity of Versailles, and the 3d is at
Chateau.
The following account of Thiers mission to :
Paris and Versailles is given on heat author- I
ity. Thiers was first notified that permission
had been given for his passage through the
Prussian lines by a despatch from Gen. Van
Dcrtaun at Orleans. He immediately left
Tours for Orleans, whence he travelled to
Paris in a carriage drawn by heavy Prussian
artillery horses. On reaching Versailles
Thiers was obliged to wait three hours for a
pass. As soon as it was obtained he drove to
Paris without seeing Bismarck or any other
Prussian diplotuet, though he was conslantly
aftended by army officers. Having consulted
with the Government at Paris, he returned to
Versailles, where he was received by Bis
marck, and had one or more interviews with
him duily during his stay. On the question
of re-victualling Paris, Bismarck represented
that the King was inflexible as to elections in
Alsace and Lorraine. The King did not want
an electoral agitation there, but the Constitu
ent Assembly could appoint as delegates such
citizens as deemed worthy to represent those
provinces, to which proceedings the King
might be induced to consent. During the
conversation on this point, the Prustian Min
ister sarcastically observed thnt if elections
were allowed in the occupied departments,
they would be the first ever held there. On
the morning of the Gth Thiers received the
final decision of the Prussians. They then
met by appointment Jules Favre and Gen.
Duerat at the bridge of Lanes, and Informed
tliem of the Prusiian terms, and returned to ;
Paris. Thiers is awaiting their return at j
Seares. As soon as they had eonsulted their
colleagues they returned and stated that they !
had resolved to refuse the armistice, because '
it did not concede the re-victualling of Paris.
This resolution was communicated to Bis
marck and the negotiations broken off It it
reported to be the opinion of Thiers that the
Prussians have renounced their intention of
bombarding Paris, fearing universal condem
nation of the civilized nations, but that they
will make an attack in force and will probably
shell the forts.

Supervisors and counters of ballots were
attacked by an armed mob, but the ballots
were saved. Four persons were killed und
two wounded. They were all Republicans.
Marshal Shoemaker was killed. More
trouble is anticipated. About thirty of the
leaders have been arrested. It appears to
have been a premeditated affair, and it would,
it is predicted, have been much more serious,
but for the prompt action of Capt. Meyer. In
the morning he took two companies of the
19th infantry to the scene, restoring order by
arresting 30 of the ring-leaders. Marshal
Packard has directed that those persons be
