Grand Jury, &c.
Mr.. BEvNErr-
Through your valuable paper feel it my duty to
expose the gross neglect of the Superintendent of The
Rail Cars, plying between this place and Somnier-
vile. A few mornings since, as the car drawnlby
horses from EGzabehtown TO this place, approach
ed the Depot, the iron connecting the pole TO the
car fastened by small spike, dropped through and
separated the horses from the car which running
with great velocity on an inclined plane, must have
been plunged with its passengers (about twelve Ia
dies and genemcn) Into the dock, had II not struck
the baggage car, stan ding on the track. The shock
on strlkin the other car was so great as to break II
10 pieces. The passengers were more less injured
but TO what extent have not learned; the driver In
formed me that he barely escaped with his life. He
had power To stop the car, for the brake In
tirely gone the end he sat. The driver repe led
entirely unfit for use, to which attention seems
to have been paid. Such conduct on the part OF
those employed by the company is unpardonabls-
it admits OF no excuse. The company deserve Sc
we're censure to allow one of their agents, by neg
lect. to place the lives OF twelve human beings al so
great risk.
This place, Mr. Bennett, is most delightful sum
mer retreat For health, religious contemplation,
real comfort and economy, do place in the vicinity
OF New York has more advantages. One steps from
his room to the beautiful piazza of the hotel. one
hundred and sxty-ieet in length, and at one view
the whole Of Staten Island is presented with vafc-
~ of scenery, which is highly calculated to raise The
thoughts in heartfelt gratitude far from this busy
busting world up to Him who gives us every good
and perfect gift" New Brighton looks well in the
distance, and among The beautiful residences there
stands 'Joseph's Folly" upon high hill, a mohu-
ment OF the madness of headlong speculation Eli
zabethtown mile or two distant, appears like
est drapery, and for thirty miles in the back
country, mountain, hill and dale, here and
there interspersed with the residences Of the
honest and Industrious farmer, afford most
New York have already engaged apartments for
the season in the. spacious and comfortable Hotel
Steamboats, ply between the Port and New York
six times day. The economical arrangements
suited TO every tastes and last, though not least,
the very gentemanly proprietor Of the Hotel, Major
Aldrlch, by his constant attention 10 the wants OF
his guests, makes every body happy around nm,
whether they will be so or not. Come 10 i.hzaoc'h,
port--a short ride upon the water revlves and
strengthens both body and mind. Once arrived
you will not like TO go back. II you can spare
day or two from the city do visit us, no one will be
al must tell Won. Mr. Bennett, of curious move
ment on the part of few fanatics here. They in
duced our borough court at Ellzabethtown TO refuse
to grant any license except TO Sanderson's house.
This has so enraged citizens that when the last
Grand Jury met they actually turned round and
presented the Court as a nuisance. This has made
rare fun here. Those presented are as follows 3
VIM. Chetwood,. Mayor; Aaron Woodruff, Recor-
der; Elijah Kellogg, John M. Ropes, James +.
Meckle, Chas. Davis, M. ID. President OF the Bank;
Ctl Brown, of Union.
Truly, this is the very age for impeachments.-
The above, with Charles King were very active in
endeayoring to prevent our people here from read
ing the Herald; and since then there are ten Heralds
taken where only one taken before.
The general impression here is that Low will be
found guilty OF the murder OF Wnans; and il sohe |
will be hung in month. 1t was shocking muir |
