POSTMASTER OF ALBANy.--Sometme ago our
Albany correspondent made some statements in
regard 10 Mr.. Wasson, the postmaster of Albany,
which we lave reason to believe were entirely in

some resolutions. Now learn from the best
authority that Mr.. Wasson never attended any
such political meeting, and confines himself en-
tirey to the discharge of his public duties. Our
correspondent was entirely misnformed and did not,
we trust, intentionally make the statement which
we now contradict. We make this statement in

DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT A
gentleman who resides al Madison. Indians.
and who may be relied on, has furnished
the Editor Of the Cincinnati Chronicle with
the following facts in relation to one Of the
most disastrous Railroad accidents which
has occurred for many years.
On Thursday afternoon. the 2e!h March,
at A P. M. when the passengers car arrived
at Madison, Of the head Of the Inclined
Plane, they had a wood car heavily loaded
with wood, attached. 1t is usual, in de-
scending tie Plane, TO detach the wood and
freight cars, and bring them just to the head
of the Plane, to wait till the passengers hate
gone down. In this instance the way ives
slippery, and when the wood car was brought
to the head of the Plane, and the passenger
car descending, the former accidentally got
under Roadway, and running with great
velocity, struck the Passenger car, and
dashed it into piecesl leaving four persons
killed, and FIVE very badly woundedi
The dead we're killed instantly, and the
others have all some limb broken. Miss
Craig's was amputated yesterday afternoon.
Our informant states hat it was wonderful
how any person escaped-yet a few did
Among them were two children.
The car was dashed into fragments, and
a gentleman who was a passenger, says he
found himself planted in a deep mud-hoie,
out of which he rose on the dead bodies of

LOST AND FoUND.-Last Friday, the
town Of Wesihampton was thrown into a
state OF anxiety and alarm, in consequence
of the intelligence that a child Of Mr., festus
Hooker, living near the meeling-house-a
little boy about three years old-had strayed
away and was lost. The absence of the
child was noticed at about IL o'clock
though no one recollected 10 have seen him
after 10 in the morning. When il was as
certained that he was not in the immediate
neighborhood, an alarm was given, by ring
ing the bell a large number OF the citizens
assembled, and promptly proceeded TO the
search. Every effort 10 discover his tracks
in the snow was unavailing, and until four
o'clock in the afternoon, there was little OF
no prospect of finding the child. About
that time, however, the attention of Mr.
Jonathan French Jr., was attracted by the
barking of a dog at some considerable dis
lance from him. At first he gave but little
heed TO the dog but observing his unusua
perseverance, he was induced TO make ar
effort to discover the object at which the
dog was barking when, as he drew near
he found the dog barking at the lost child
in a pasture-at a distance Of more than
quarter of a mile from any dwelIing,-anc
in a place, where he would not probably
otherwise have beer discovered, and wher'
he must have persisted. When found, th'
little fellow was crying bitterly,-his fee
and legs being wet and cold. He had wan
dered more than a mile and a half through
pastures and woods, over a high bill, repre-
scented to be almost as difficult to climb a
Mt. Tom, a course, in which he overcam'
distractions from underbrush, ivy, &c
which any man would have found Difficult
TO encounter. The a00y in which this chill
was discovered, at that critical time, mus
be regarded as singularly providential.

DIED,


In Newiane, March 4, 1874, Of erysipelas, Mr.
Nathan Phillips, in the 57lh year Of his age.
The funeral occasion suggested the following
thoughts
Another night Of silent grief Is pass'd,
The sunbeams from a cloudless sky creep through
A crevice in the curtain'd room, and rest
Upon those features pale in death, as if
To iIlume the brow Of him again
Who has full half a century beheld
It's risings fair. How short is human life
A moment and it ends in endless pain,
Or bliss unutterable. This form which
Lies enervate all, but yesterday trode
Stately on the earth with youth and manhood
Blended on his brow, and his protective
Arms shielded mid life's storms an infant band.
That band is scattered on the sea of life,
And few are here to realize the scene
That passes now, or deem how soon their hearts
Will be with anguish riv'n. But CATERING round
Are friends to shed the sympaihising tear,
And the same voices wake the funeral chant,
Which used to sing, when we, with our dear parent,
Worship d at III house of God in company.
The sound familiar all, 10 sense aud soul,
Brings parents, home, and youthful scenes long
since
Departed, and dear remembrances, and
Hours of happy thought SO twined around tn heart
Upon the soul. But bark the man of God,
Gives coincidence from these impressive words,
"For me to live is Christ, to die is gain"
How bless'd our parents hope though dead, hi
lives,
Wen murmur not, but say, Gods will be done.
Come, let us smitten ones gather around
This cofin'd corse, TO shed the parting tear,
And gaze upon that countenance benign,
Fer yet the earth soil the 'bright paleness Of
The settled brow" The last, last one which drew
Us to our early home, now sleeps that sleep
Which knows no waking, and soon will rest
In the cold grave beside our mother dear,
Whose image stills impressed upon our hearts.
But we must HE from this our native vale,
To distant homes, perhaps 10 meet no more,
Until life's bowl with joy and sorrow hIfd
Unto the bIim, lielh broken at the fountain.
Then may our spirits angels merge from out
Their clayey cells, and welcom'd be by dear
Departed ones, to the blest shores OF
IMMORTALITY.

GENUINE LoCo FocoIsM.

Loco Focoism in Connecticut is of the
regular Tammany Hall, down-with-law-and-

very gravely rose and declared il, in his
opinion, 10 be parliamentary for the Chair
man 10 give the casting vote-such being,
as he believed, the custcm in Congressill-
and so he deposited a second ballot, and de-
clared the Loco Foco eecttd! This long.
cared genius will probably learn ere long,
that the "Modtrotor'' Of an electors meet
ing is not strictly the embodiment OF Law

have a little Lam beaten into his brain, not
