stage Aooident--a Lives Lost.


On Monday night occurred the worst acct
dent which ever befell any Of the excellent stage
lines in this vicinity. AS one of the two stages
which came up on the Gulf route with the Bos
ton passengers, was passing ledge near Pearce's
in Royaton, where the road was narrow and icy,
the wheels slipped from the track, precipitating
the stage-wagon and horses down bank about
fifteen ieet, and in the fall the wagon was thrown
upon the passengers, instantly killing three per-
sons, and iniuring four others-two severely
The persons killed were Capt LEARY, of Eng
land, who was on his way to Montreal to take
charge of steamer--a young lady, supposed to
be MISS Hunt, of Middlebury, as that was the
card on her baggage-and WIN, SMITH, the dri-
yer, son of Eleazer Smith, of Haverhill, N. II.
ANpREw McFARLANE of England was severely
injured; the other was Scotchman who took
the stage at Hartford, A lady, who was accom-
panied by two brothers, was also injured but it
was hoped that she would be able to resume her
journey to-day-W ednesday. One horse was
killed. From the accounts we judge that this
shocking accident is chargeable to objectionable
negligence OF the part of the White River
Turnpike Company.

to the public, which occurred at the last meeting
or any other, that was not stated at The earliest
moment in the Waterman The temper of this
writer's article leads us to suspect that "encour.
agement," in respect to the Central road, would
be very far from satisfactory to him; indeed we
fear that the recent payment in tull, OF stock, by
some of the heaviest subscribers here, has stirred
him up to this effort to discourage others. Be
this as it may, if the writer is a stakeholder, he
has his rights; and any application for informa
ton, in the proper mode and at the proper quar-.
ter, will unquestionably receive prompt attention.
If he is friend Of the road, and his object real
y is to obtain information, strikes US that he has
missed his way an application IN person, to

NEW POST OFFICE LAW.

This act extends the ranking privilege to
Members of Congress, and also to those post
masters whose compensation did not exceed 5000
for the year ending on the Both of June last
The provisions important to the public are as
follows:
All newspapers transmitted through the mails
will be hereafter rated with postage, except ex-
change papers between the publishers of news
papers, and those ranked by persons enjoying
the privilege: and contractors may take news
papers, out of the mails, for sale or distribution
among subscribers.
transient newspapers, or those not sent from
the Office of publication to subscribers hand
bills, or circular letters, printed or Autographed,
not exceeding one sheet in size. will pay three
cents, upon delivery at the office, and before
they are put in the mails, and all such will be
charged by deputy postmasters as prepaid matter
in the way bills and upon their accounts of mails
sent and stamped or marked paid" with the
name of the office from which sent.
Transient newspapers, handbls or circulars,
cannot be received free by deputy postmasters
under their privilege If such should be adj
dressed to them, it is their duty to return them
to the sender under a new cover charged with
letter postage. If deposited in post Office I'M
sealed, addressed to deputy postmasters or others,
they will not in any case be forwarded by mail
without pre- payment OF the postage. ii sealed
they will he rated with letter postage, and for
warded IN the mails
Letters addressed to different persons cannot
be enclosed in the same envelope or package,
under penalty of ten dollars, unless addressed to
foreign countries.
1t will be seen that the transmission of news
papers free for thirty miles is not allowed; and
every person who sends paper to friend must
pay cents-l, sc per year, or cents more than
the subscription price This is a hard shave !;
