DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

The following is from the Rs aiding
Democrat, detailing an account of
dreadful accident, too many of which
are almost daily occurring upon the rail-
rOads:-
We have stopped the press to record
the occurrence Of a dreadful accident on
the road this morning, at 3 o'clock, about
two miles above Reading. One train OF
cars laden with coal, and the other empty
came in collision, breaking and smashing
into fragments one and inIuring anothE
er, killing two men and wounding five
or six others who mere in the train
The hands Of the train coming down the
road escaped uniniured by leaping, but
the train from Reading, being much
lighter, was completely destroyed. We
repaired to the dreadful scene at day
break, and such mass of ruins we nev,
or looked upon before. The hands were
Just taking out the mangled IbOdy of Mr. I.
Goo. Hickman, who was instantly killed
and shortly afterwards, the dead body
of Daniel FornwAlt, his father,
had one of his legs broken, and injured
otherwise, SO that he is not likely to re-
cover; Samuel Shultz had several ribs
broken, and Conrad Fegar, Jr., was al.
SO badly wounded Damage must be
immense.

IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-On the farm
of Gen. Thomas G. MILLER, in Dickson
township, Cumberland county, Pa, there
has recently been discovered an immense
vein of pure red Ochre, of the finest
quality, second only 10 the finest Vene-
tain red. Gen. Miller is now preparing
it in large quantities for tho market. lis
purity IS such, that it requires but to be
dried in the sun and ground, to be used
for the finest painting. From the aP
pearance of the mine, it is supposed
there is an amount sufficient to supply
the whole United States. 1t is now com
ing into general use in the Immediate
neighborhood, and painters using it pro,
nounce the quality excellent, both for
DO ly and briIIiancy Ofcolor, and there
appears to he no doubt but it will super.
cede all other red paints now in use for
barns, gates, wagons, ploughs, harrows,
common tables, desks, and all other com.
mon purposes Democratic Union.

ELECTIONS.

KRNTUCKY.-The report we had last
week Of six democrats having bOen elect
ed to Congress, was little too good to
be true. The democrats have however
elected five Of the ten-which may be
considered a great democratic triumph
in Kentucky, where the federOlists have
+ held an almost undivided sway for ma
ny years. The following is the re-
suit. q

Gratis have elected a majority Of the Con
Rressmsn, there being six democrats to

90 D. Bright, the democratic candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor,
are elected. The 48 counties heard
from (including the strongest Whig coun'
tieS,) give Mr.. Whitcomb 2,l2O major ity
over Mr. Bigger, the whig candidate.'--
Seven democrats are elected to Con-

to the indomitable integrity of the last

SALE oE CANAL LANDS.

Gov. Shannon has issued his Procla-
nation for the Sale of the Wabash and
Erie Canl Lands, in accordance with the
Law passed by the Legislature last win
ter. The sales will commence at the
Land Office in PerrysbUrgh, Wood coun-
~, on the Sd day of September next;
and at the Land office in Lima Allen
county, on the 18th of September. The
sales to be kept open at each of the a
bove places from day to day until the
whole OF said lands are offered for sale.
These lands. are probably not surpassed
by any in the Western country, for rich
ness Of soil, and having been recently
appraised in conformity of the act of
last winter, will now be disposed Of to
the highest bidder, or remain subject to
private entry at the apPraisemenl-which
we believe is $3.50 per acre. The
Land thus to be offered being situated
in the vicinity of excellent markets, and
in new and thriving country, offers ma
nv inducements to those who may desire
to invest their money in that way.

SANDWICH INsLANDs.-The New York
Journal Of Commerce of Monday morn

ofnews from these Islands:
"The whale.ship James Stuart, of St.
John, N. B. which put into Honolulu on

disorderly conduct Of the crew, (93 in

min refused either to receive Is Of the
old crew, as required by Mr.. Simpson,
the acting British consul, or to deliver
up the register; in consequence of which
the ship was taken possession of by force

OF the attention Of our Government. -

Movable forever in to be considered real
estate. AT common law, all leases of
such description were only chattes, but
by the Ohio Statutes of 1889, they are,
according 10 the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of this State, to be considered as
land. The Judge remarked that il diff.
fered from his own view of the law, but
as he found the point decided by the
