A break has been made from 8L Flavien to Campbellton, and two blocked trains between those points are working their way out through a tunnel of auow.

One train is nt River du Lupe, andthcr at Bt. Flavien, Sir Charles and Lady Tuppor being passengers on the latter. All the northerri mails since last Thursday, from Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, are at Sc. Flavien, and soven mail clerks are guarding them.

It has seven cars all laden with people who have been delayed by the storm of the week, ezausted and worn by their long sojourn amid snowdrifts and frost. They are freed at last only by the superhuman efforts of 1,600 men, who have workod night and day.

Hart, of San Francisco, that a nolle prosequi be entered on an indictment found against one William Kissaue for forgery on November 14, 1854. Ward has almost entirely recovered from his self inflicted wounds. He has lost the sight of his right eye and the muscles of his face have become paralyzed, so that he is unable to close his mouth. About a week ago Prosecuting Attorney Campbell, of Bergen county, caused Ward's arrest, and he was arraigned, waived examination and was plaoed under $2,000 bail His case comes up before the local Justice of the peace this afternoon and he will be arraigned if his friends consider that he is well enough to stand it The principal reason set forth by the vestrymen for not making the matter public was that they did not wish to appear to have had anything to do with the trial of the man before he was arraigned before the Justice.

He doubted if the prisoner was brought into court whether he could be tried on the indictment, and claimed i hat the sentence that waa Imposed on Kissane when he was convicted in 1855 covered this charge. Almost all the clergymen under the jurisdiction of the archbishop who attended Dr. McGlynn's lecture in the Academy of Music have been censured. Rev. Dr. Burtsell, Tattier Bony, Father Sylvester Malone and Father McLaughlin, of Rochester, are a few «f those who have been forewarned that a repetition of the "offense" will be summarily dealt with.

Ho-stated that he had no intention of asking for a requisition for the accused or calling the case for trial. He said that the fact that the governor of the state bad pardoned Kissano would seem to show that his trimes were condoned. ar Albany, April 3.—The governor has withdrawn the nomination of Michael Kickard for railroad commissioner and sent in the names of William A Armstrong, of Elmira, nnJ James A.

Archibald, chief engineer, started with a special train and all the men he could collect for the scene. He arrived at Campbellton, pushed his way through to St Flavieii, and Thursday night about 8 o'clock broke the blockade. People have no idea what amount of snow there is en the New Brunswick borders. In order to clear the track of snow five terraces were made from the rail to the summit of t1De bank, and each line of men threw to the terrace above, and in many places snowdrifts are thirty feet in dapth. During three weeks' sojourn in the drifts passengers endured great hardships, although CA.e railroad authorities did all they could to make them comfortable. It was fortunate for the women and children that so many sleepers were snowed in with them, and no scruple* were observed in taking coal from cars on the sidings to ripply them with fuel.

There be found men who, up to the present, have taken no part whatever in the controyeiny between Dr. McGlyun and the archbishop characterize this last move of his eminence in the strongest possible terms of condemnation. Many of tho Catholic clergy In the adjoining parishes did not scruple to say that the archbishop's action afforded ample cause and excuse for a revolt on the part of his priests. One of these gentlemen even hinted to the reporter that a petition protesting against what they consider arbitrary conduct, and demanding the removal of the Archbishop from the diocese, will be prepared for the signature of the clergy and forwarded to Rome. As to the parishioners of St Stephen's, they are threatened with wholesale excommunication if they continue to agitate against their archbishop and paralyze the efforts of Father Col ton and his assistants to restore harmony. The permanent closing of tUe church la also contemplated in case the boycott is not raised within the next fetf days. H NOT MARY CREGAN. Mr. Armstrong is appointed in the place of Commissioner O'Donnell and Mr. Buckbee in place of Commissioner Rogers. Not much is known of Mr. Buckbee, save the fact of his being a Knight of Labor. Mr. Armstrong is said to have been recommended for the interstate railway commission by twenty-three state senators, and with this in mind his confirmation would seem probable. But notwithstanding this, it is not believed that he win be confirmed. He is 59 years old, and, besides being editor of The Husbandman, is master of the state grange, an Anti-Monopolist, a trustee of the state agricultural experiment station, and a member of the board of trade and transportation. He is a warm friend of Lieutenant Governor Jones. In politics he is supposed to be a Bepublican. He voted for Hill in 1882, for Davenport in 1885, aud was active in Senator Miller's canvass last January. No caucus of the Republican members has been called to take action on the nominations, and they were both referred to the railroad committee. Mr. Jones, counsel for tbe Chemical bank, took a different view of the case. He said that his clients were sufferers by tbe rascalities of this man and would oppose any attempt to remove any charge against him that had become part of the criminal record, |Dartly through their action.

Mr. Jones statad that Kissane was pardoned at the request of prominent insurance men, who signed the petition on the promise of the prisoner that he would give them information that would lead to the conviction «f others associated with him in swindling insurance companies. The counsel considered that it would be an outrage on justice to grant the petition.
