BURIED ALIVE. As Rufus Crout, of
Litchfeld was clearing out Il well in East
Monmouth, last Saturday, tie stones gave
way and all came down upon him. The alarm
was Immediately given, and Il crowd soon
collected at thu spot. On listening he was
heard to groan. Measures were immediately
taken 10 clear the well. This was at three
oclocl, in the afternoon. The we'll was about
thirty three feet deep, and the whole Of the
stone was to be cleared ont before he could
be reached People began to come in from
tho neighboriog places, and the work
went forward with as tuuah energy and GcS-
patch as the circumstances would admit.
After being about half cleared out, lie was
heard TO hailoo, which increased the excite
ment and encouraged the workmen torenew-
ed activity, but at the same time it required
more caution. After incredible eXertion he
was reached about one o'clock at night and
rescued from his perilous situation, alive and
but ictle hurt. At first he could not stand,
hut recovered in short time SO as to walk
about. The rocks, in falling, seemed to form
an arch over him, comprising HIM into a
pretty small compass, and fastening him down
so as to allow no room to move. The water
was about knee deep. 1t was indeed a remark
able escape for hilu.-Me Farmer.

New KIND OF ISsURANCr. We sec by
the Railroad journal, that E0. W. CoJ55 OF
London, Eng, has proposed plan of assur-
ance against casualties Oh railroads, to be
called the RaHcay Casualty Compen&dl'o?"
assurance CompuaY lie calculates that III
England half a million at least viii subscribe
to the company, and that 4 fund would thus
be accumulated Of two millions Of dollars in
the first two years. This is to be called the
reserved fund, and used to meet the payment
Of liabilities. lie does not as yet bring for
ward his plan in all its details, but from
computation, from such authentic data as
he can obtain, he is sure that 1t would
be a system Of great relief to those
who may be injured or to their families ii the
insured should die, and also sound as Il COM
mercial speculation. lie also states that In
England, from official reports, the average
number of railway casualties amounts TO one
in year for every ten ard half miles Of
railway in operation.
Such system would if any railway com.
pany should adopt it, act as a constant guard
and check upon them-tlicy would always be
on the lookout for danger, always prompt tc
noint Out any practice inconsistent with safe
ty. and to dcnounce any management where

Our Next European Adviccs-What News
Will the Cambria Bring

The steamship Cambria, from Liverpool, h as
been at sea five days, and we may begin to look
for her by the middle of next week In the mean
time, the Sarah Sands, the packet of the 18th ult.
from Liverpool, may come in, in which case a
portion of the advices by the Cambria will be an
tcipated.
IL is the general opinion in thus market, that the
next news from England will be, in a com mer-
cial point of view, full as important and as inte-
resting the last. We have heard some little
doubt expressed in relation to quotations for COT
ton but the universal belief is, that prices for
breadstuffs will be sustained, and that orders to
an immense extent will come out by the
steamer for the purchase Of grain for immediate
shipment. Holders of breadstuffs, in view Of this
thing, not anxious to part with their supplies,
and prices are exceedingly firm at the very high
rates current.
The nature Of the demand for -four and grain
in Great Britain is such as to preclude the posi-
biiity OF any decline, of consequence. There
may be, as there usually is on all rising markets
from time to time, slight reactions bur the move
ment OF prices must be upward, and they will,
without doubt, reach higher point than that
realised in 1881! The accounts we must receive
by every arrival from Europe, particularly from
England IN relation TO the dstresses of the poorer
classes, and the ravages of famine, must be terri
bic; and if the sympathies OF our people are not
beyond being reached by any calamity, they are
destined to be excited to the utmost. We feel sa
ushed there is not that confidence placed in the
reports which reach us regarding the condition of
the people OF Ireland the circumstances warrant,
and proper measures should be adopted to place
before the public such Information as will put
the matter in its proper light.
Spectators in bread do not leave stone I'M
turned to advance their interests, and philan-
thropists shouls be fully as Jealous in advancing
the cause Of humanity.

The RESUMPTION OF NAVIGATION ON THE HUDSON
FlvER.-n this warm weather lasts one week
longer the river will be open to Albany The ice is
MT very thick in any part and several teams have
broken throus b at Albany, and been lost Should
q river open by the middle of this month"; it will
hive been closed but about sixty days altogether,
aut only about thirty days in succession, boats
h wing been to and come from Albany within the
past month.
The river has not been closed below Sing Sing
this winter, the boats of the Erie Railroad Com
pany having run regularly to Piermont through
the season. The winter, so far has been unu.u-
ally mild, and there is at present every prospect
of its breaking up.
The number of days that the river has been
closed to Albany for several years, averages about
ninety. 1t is very seldom that the river is COM
pletely closed up for even half that time. Yoa-
kers, Saugerhes, Nyack, Piermont, Sing Sing,
are accessible throughout the winter to steam
boats and towboats.
Arrangements have been made by the nume-
rous steamboat and towboat companies on the
river to carry on the business this season to u
greater extent than usual, and this magnificent
highway will be covered with more splendid
boats than ever before hoated on its ample sur
face. Several new steamers ready for start
the moment every thing is clear, for a speed oil
twenty and twenty-five miles an hour, and there
is every prospect of competition greater than
ever before experienced on the Hudson, which is
saying great deal, we recollect the time when
owners of steamers actually paid people for GO
ing in their boats.
Two shillings TO Albany and eat yourself,
will in the course of another year be con.
adhered too high. 1t would be well for the
Commissioners of the Hudson River Railroad to
think of these things; there is food for reflection in
these facts
