SHOCKING AcCIDENT.-FoUR MEN INST
KILLED. We learn from the Springfield RI
can of Saturday morning that a very serjol
cident took place in that town at the Raj
Depot. There was a train of thirty three
cars descending The incline plane near The
and owing to the Gcst on the rails it came on
uncomfortable force. +; passed through rh
house, and tho engineer, conductor, firenn
one other, jumped off and saved themselra!
before tho locomotive struck the engine \
M Erasus Noys, carpenter, and Mr. AbeINp
machinist, being at the door Of the engine I'D
and as is supposed in the act of opening tTsH
stan,ly killed and mutilated IN the most sdo'Sa
manner.
The engine drove through the engine house
ing one with it, carrying away brick wal
both were broken to pieces on wood pile u
outside. The cars were left in the house on (
of ruins. a Mr. Marcy, assistant fireman. o,
brookheld, and Mr. Brooks, brakeman, oil
ter, were instantly killed in the conclusion
engineer states that on descending the PIan
wheels ofthe engine were reversed, but SUI
the force acquired in the descent, that
could arrest its progress. We presume
blame can be attached to any one, but We
suppose that when descending an incline p
would be better policy to detnch portion
cars, and make two jobs it, as the case !"

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

A great many people think that it WAS
intended, from the first that man should gov
ern woman, and that she is therefore the wea-
ker vessel. We agree with the Defiance Bar
oncter, that such IS not the fact. There's
nothing palmer than that the woman was
master in the first instance. Look at the ser
| Witty of Adam the Dolt When the old lady
offered him the apple, what did he do 2 Did
he expostulate with her; did he tell her he
wouldn't take it! Not he. He knew his place
better than that-he knew he burst not re-
fuse Now does any body believe, that if it
had been Adam that had first eaten, and then
offered it to Eve, she'd have obeyed him, and
taken it Not she. She'd have thrown herself
upon he reserved rights, and told him t 60 to
perdIton alone. 1t was doubtless out of COM
passion to the transgressor, as well as to pun
sh Eve, that it was declared to her, thy desire
shall be to thy husband. and he shall rule over
thee" The sceptre was from that moment
changed but it was well known that she
would never submit herself into the author
lty thus set over her" 50 rs to be led bv the
nose a step further than she chose. 1t was
doubtless humiliating and therefore Il punish
ment, that she had to call Adam lord bat she
determined to submit to that with good
grace, knowing full well, that names were
Inothng. Adam, the Ounce, was satisfied with
the title, and SO thiugs have remained ever
since.-N Y. Atlus.

We have copied the following memoir in re-

The memoir may be relied on as strictly cor

q The Bay of Pensacola was discovered by
Paupla de Narvaez in 1925. Various adven-
turers gave it different names-as Port of
Anehuse, St. Marys Bay, but that of Penza-
cola or rather Pensacola, which has prevailed,
was the true name among the Indians or ma
tives of the country. The first establishment
was made init by Spanards in 1896, and
its first Governer was Don Andrew Arlvala,
who made small enclosure, plcketlng or fort,
called Fort St. Charles, and church. on the
broken ground (Blraneas at the entrance OF
the port The French took Pensacola in i7l9,
the Spaniards retook it, and the French again
took it in the same year ahdkept 1t until 1922,
when it was restored to Spain. The Span
IGrds in the meantime removed to St JOSephs
Bay. and in 1926 formed small town at the
west end of the island Of ST. Rosa, about the
present ruined fort which was originally
made by tEom, although improved after wards
by the English General lIadenond. The
establishment remained there until l754, when
b .iug partly inundated, the town was removed
to the place which it now occupies, 1t was
ceded to the English in the year 1863, aud
they laid of the town with regularity IN 1865.
1t surrendered 10 the Spanish arms in l1Sl,
and since then II &, NJ. has possessed it. On
the 9Th November Of the present year, the
American army under the command Of Major
General Andrew Jackson, entered into said
town. and in the evening Of the same day
and morning OF the StIl, the English in the
Bay, robbed and destroyed the forts of ST
Charles Of Barancas, and ST. Rosa.
