Mr. Morris Wolf, while coming down stairs from Odd Fellows’ Hail on Wednesday night accidentally fell aud broke one of his legs. Steamer Forest City left her wharf at 3 o’ clock Wednesday afternoon and laid all night lu Hog Island Roads, returning to her wharf at 8 3a yesterday morning. She bad not sai’ed at a late hour last night. It is a vety unusual circum stance for steamers of this line to lose a trip, much more two in succession. The members of the Board of Manufactures are reminded of the adjourned meeting at the Mayor’s Office this evening at 7 X 2 o’clock. The high tides have caused great destruction ol life—aruocg the rats. The chestnut Venders have not found their business remunerative these last two days. A wagon got smashed up last night on Ox ford street by plumping iuto a hole gullied out by the water. The Commissioners on the proposed Iodus trial School (or girls met in this city yesterday for consultation, and will hold another session to-day. Mibb Twain’s Lbctubb.—The second lec tuie of the Army aud Navy Union Course was given last evening before an exceedingly large audience at City Hall. The tall, well mado man with a serious aud almost severe cast of countenance, after gazing at his hearers In an anxious, inquiring sort of way, until they seemed driven into applauding, stated that he should have the pleasure of introducing Mr Samuel Clommens,—a gentleman renowned for his varied accomplishments, bis historical accuracy and his extrema modesty. He added, ‘■I am the party.” This oustom of introducing himself he prefers, because he is so much more likely than another to get in all the facts. Starting with the assertion that Ward was a humorous baby and that his sudden notoriety and fortune prevented his gradnal develop ment into the polished wit he might under other circumstances have become, Mr. Clcin mens related a series of jokes and annccdotes and connected Ihaniby a rambling history of the life of Artemus Ward, who, it would seem begun to be funny while a printer aud un known to fame. It was while laboring under these disadvantages that be conceived the idea of running tread-miils by steam, and exp’ain ed to a board ofra’lroad directors that if they would mn their trains so slowly they ought to put their cow catcher on the rear end lest some wandering cow should overtake the train and attack the paseengers. In a sort of interlude Mr. Clemmens stated that Artemus had been credited with a good many jokes that didn’t really belong to him, aud with an air of mock modesty said that other folks bad sai l some good things attribut ed to A. W. It is certainly being discovered that good things have been thought of by other people than those claiming them, and when one of Mark Twain’s best essays had been carefully prepared for the press, some one dis covered that the same ideas had been better set forth some years before by a;Jewish writer named Josephus. Although as a general rule we admire what we are most attached to, yet a horse wbo had for years been attached to a dray despised the dray; and two wits who con tended for the honor of baring first thought o this fact, blushed at the tefiection that the horse thought of it before either of them. It was while a reporter at Cleveland tbai Artemus, then known as Charles F. Brown, it an idle hour penned an ill spelled letter chieflj for his own entertainment, and signed it \r temus Ward.” It achieved unprecedented popularity, and raised its author to fame it much the same way that “The Heathen Chi nee” raised Bret Harte. There was somethiof in Artemus Ward tjia', took the country bj storm and the American showman who wa ready to turn au honest penuy by txbibitin; an eclipse from a tent with au open top, im/ne diately had this whole world running to hi show. A digression on the character of tb showman as a character showed a coarse, illit erato American always endeavoring to suit bi conversation to bif company, always keepini bis eye ou tbe “Almighty Doliar," alway mingling the ridiculous with tbe sublime, am never losing a joke. Soon after acquiting hi popularity as the author of the Ward letters Mr. Brown was called on to rovive if possible “Vanity-Fair,” already entered upon tha quick declino which every American comi paper seems destined to enter in its early joutt Mr. Clemmeos is one authority for saying tha “Mr. brown, who always hated work, watelie the paper in Us death agonies, saw it expire and said above its grave that ho had alway been of tha opinion that an occasional joke iui proved a comic paper.” “Vanity-Fair” having passed away, the ide of lecturing occurred to Brown. Encourage in this by his friends and associates, he strun together a series ot jokes and stories, under th heading of “My Seven Grandmothers,” but a the suggestion of a friend substituted th equally appropriate title of “The Babes in th Wood,” and went forth to new triumphs. Fc an entire winter he delivered his lecture befoi crowded houses in New York, and his prcfii for that season were estimated at from thirl to forty thousand dollars—then considered large amount, now moderate for a gas-fitter i the New York court bouse. Many of the jokes quoted seemed to con back to tha audienco like old friends. For ii stauce, tbe once familiar question of the Ca ifornia manager—“What’ll you take for or hundred nights?” and Artemus’s reply “Brandy and water.” But what shall wo sa of a man who lectures on Artemus Ward, an mutilates that dear old joke about ‘'eacrificic all my wife’s relations,” go that it was bal'd 1 to be recognia-d. Tbe latter portion of tl lecture was aerious rather than funny, portraj ing Mr. Brown’s career after be left Amcric never to return. H;s enormous success i London made him threaten at one time t compel the lioyal Family to stay away. H was rumored to have received almost fabulou sums for his contributions to Punch aU(] wit his panorama at Egyptian Hall his success wa wonderful. He lectured until his health wa in such a condition that he was nightly attend ed by his physician at the theatre and fell victim to disease at the age of thirty-thre. Speaking as a personal acquaintance, M Clemmens declartd Mr. Brown to have been true gentleman. He closed the lecture with touching and appreciative poem from a Lo don Journal, published just after Mr. Brown death. Mr. Clemruens’ fdrte is not the platfori He does better with the pea. The lectu last evening was more of Mark Twain tbi Arte m us Ward. He used his subject mote as a means of exhibiting his own humor than r<$ anau?l.vM8 of Ward’s cbaracteiist rs. Ha ad hered to a number of grave errois iu regard to A rte am*’s early history which are familiar to those who knew the facetious showman’s antecedents well. On the whole we tbiuk the audience would have b(en better p’ea eJ if Mr. Clemmeos had delivered his other lecture. j The Change in She Morning ISoaloii Mail. Iu ielation to the recent change in the morning mail from Bostou, of w hich we spoke yester(lay, the Postmaster informs us that the alteration was made without any previous no tice to the office. Incidentally it become known in the Post Office abcait 10 o’clock last Monday forenoon. The change consists in detaining the mail which formerly left Boston by the first accom modatiou train at 7 30, until the departure of 2 the Pullman express from the south at 8 30 Although the delay amounts to au hour iu starting, it is reduced to only tweuty reroutes difference in the time of arrival, the mail belDg due at this Post office ueder the new system at i 12.50 in-toad of 12 30 as hitherto; so that citi zens will receive their letters now at one p. m., iustead of 12 40. unless the train is delayed. This loss of twenty minutes at noon is doubt less au objection, but not wholly without its redeeming feature, which is, that herea/ter,we shall alwayt rec ive our through mail from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, before dinner, whereas hitherto connection was frequently lost and letters be yond Boston did not arrive here until five p. m. Perhaps a few weeks’ experience may recon cile our people to the change, which we un derstand at the Post-office was made by direc tion of the Postmaster General in order to carryout his plan of direct postal facilities from San Francisco to Halifax, the longest route in the world, which the tecent comple tion of the E N. A. railroadto St. John has enabled him now to perfect. Notwithstanding,the Postmaster tcok imme diate measures to ascertain whether the origin al arrangement may not be restored aDd lie will use his best effoits to effect such change as may be satisfactory to the citizens. Of course the t xtraordinary and vexatious delays of tbo past two days are attributable to the violence of the storm and not to the or dinary opeialioo of the new system. The Storm.—We have heard of no further damage in this vicinity by the storm than was recorded by us yesterday, except the injury to Vaughan’s bridge.which will necessitate iia be ing closed to travel for a few days for repairs. The afternoon train of Wednesday on the Portland Koebostcr road was delayed at Springvaleby a wash-out, but the track was repaired quickly and the train ran regularly vesterdav. No t.rnnhln wna nmarinn,,,,! tbe Grand Trunk, and tbe trains have all come in on lirue.The Maine Central cars by the back route bava made good trip*, but ou the Augus ta division no train bad got through last even ing ou account of tbe break at Gardiner where tbe accident of Wednesday night occurred. Iu our marine department an account will bo found of disasters to three P.r.land vt* el'. We get little informationlyet from along,the coast, but it is quite likely that we shall bear of many wrecks. Ins Eastern Railroad.—No traiu has raachei this city over tbe Eastern Railroad since Wednesday noon. There are two serious wash-outs on tbe line, we understand—one at Hampton Beach and the other at Ipswich. Other smaller breaks occur along tbe western end of tbe line. Tbe marls have all come through over tbe Boston Sc Maine road, though some of them were behindhand on account ol the delays incident to the suspension of travel. An accident occurred to an Eastern Railroad train at Rowley, running off the track owing to a wash-out. The train was running very slowly at tbe time, not over four miles an boar. When it left the rail the fireman was caught between the locomotive and lender, killing him.

Tbe next session of tbe Grand Encampment wifi be held in Lewiston next year. Saved from Drowning.—Ahoul 11 o'clock last night Officer McClasky, while passing through Fore street heard an outcry from the direction of the dock's. He followed the sound down on Union wharf and discovered a man in the water, on the east side, between the steamer Clotilda and the wharf, cliuging to a pile. The officer called for help and Mr. Amos Smith and his son, keepers on the steamer, came to his assistance and the man was res cued and taken to tbe Station Honseand cared for. The man refused to give bis name or any account of himself. He is a stout built young fellow about 23 years of age, well dressed. He had about thirty cents in silver in his pocket but no papers by which he could be identified. Fire.—The alarm of fire this morning at one o’clock, came from a two story wooden house in the iear of No. 3 State street, near York, owoed by Francis O. Sawyer and occupied by three families. The fire originat ed in the room of an old lady named Gallagher, who was quite seriously burned before she could be rescued. The roof of the house was nearly consumed before the fire was extin i guished. Two other families named Ward and Berry occupied the bouse in additiou to the one named. Mrs. Gallagher,who is nearly 80 years old, was so badly burned that it is very doubtful if she survives. To the Editor of the Tress: Throughout the civilized world, for the last twenty years, a class of extraordinary physical j and mental phenomnea have beeu witnessed, I which the most celebrated scientists, alter a careful and long continued investigation, Lave not as yet been able to account for.
