wMr. Seeley, an engineer on the
New Haven and New York Railroad,
lost his life on Thursday night by jump
ing from the train. It seems the train
was approaching, on descending grade,
a draw-bridge, and the signal indicated
that the draw was up so that the train
would run into the river, and he sprang
from the locomotive among the rocks,
breaking his skull and nearly every bone
in his body. The signal had been pla
ced wrong. and the train passed safely
over the bridge.

CASE OF DIR. BUSHNELL.

Our readers are aware that for two or
three years past, the Rev. HORACE BUSH
NELL, D. D., of Hartford, has been char
ged with writing and preaching heresy.
At the annual meeting Of the Central AS
ISOLATION of Hartford County. in June
last, the Rev. Drs. Halves and Porter,
and the Rev. Messrs, Clark, Richardson,
and Mclean, were appointed a committee
to investigate these charges and report
at special meeting. This special meet
ing was held on the 22d of October. The
work entitled "God in Christ" by Dr..
B. was the great theme of discussion. A
majority Of the COMMITTEES Porter. Rich
ardson and Mclean, reported that the
errors Of the book were not fundamental !;
the minority Halves and Clark, report
ed that the errors were fundamental. A
very able defence from DR.. Bushnell was
read before the Association, and after a
protracted discussion, the report of the
majority of the committee was adopted
with but three dissenting votes.
All the members of the Association
expressed their belief that the Dr's. book
contained errors-some of them serious
errors; and that some of his expressions
in regard to the Trinity and the Atone
ment were dangerously worded; but they
were generally of the opinion that the
explanations and defence of DR.. B., pla-
ced him essentially on orthodox ground.

INSURANCE AGAINST RAILWAY
ACCIDENTS.

An English paper says, that during
the past month the new system of insu-
rance against accidents by railway, which
we have already described, has gone in
to operation on the Eastern Counties, the
Caledonia, North British, Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and Chester and Holyhead
and is about to be extended to Ireland
The Post Office and other Government
authorities are promoting it among their
officers who travel by railway, and since
the establishment of the system on the
English railways, French Sctuar.es have
been over with q view to its inyestioa-
ton, and its adoption on the French rail-
ways.

n5It will be recollected that in the
account of the recovery of the lost son
of Mr.. Burt of Albany, it was stated that
little girl was found with Mrs. Gould
ing of Oswego, the woman who abduc-
ted the lad, and it was supposed that
the girl had also been stolen. She pro-
we'd to be the daughter Of Mr.. Banner,
of Hoboken. The New York Tribune
has the following,
4 Fathers Gratitude.-The follow
ing note from Mr.. Banner to the Editor
of this paper is grateful tribute to the
agency of the Press in the recovery of
his long lost child. The satisfaction of
those Editors who were instrumental in
producing this paternal happiness can be
second only to that of the parents and
child themselves. 1t is seldom that the
labors of editorial life are relieved by
such gratifying episode:
To the Editor of The Tribune:
Rejoicing in the recovery of my dear
child Cecilia, who was abducted by the
woman Goulding, Of Oswego. beg leave
to express through your valuable paper,
my heartiest thanks to the public Press
in Oswego and this city and particularly
to the Editor of the New Y ork Tribune,
who inserted on the 10th inst. a copy of
a slip from the Syracuse Reveille. which
led me first on the track of my long be-
reaycd child.
You will allow me, gentlemen. at the
same time to render my best thanks to
Mr.. Burt, merchant, of Oswego, who
kindly gave the first communication in
the said Syracuse paper. and accompa-
MED and assisted me during my voyage
in search of my child.
The greatest gratitude, to Mr. Burt
and you, gentlemen, will therefore never
be extinguished in the heart Of
Your most obliged and obed't servt.

DEATH OF MR.. STRICKLAND.

Our Geographic dispatch from Bos-
ton Wednesday night announced the
death of Frederick Strickland, son Of
Sir Thomas Strickland, Bart, of England,
while ascending Mount Washington, N.
H. A Boston paper of Thursday morn
ing has the following particulars
N. Y. Tribune.
Though strongly urged to the contra
ry, Mr.. =. left Crawford's Notch House
to ascend Mt. Washington, in company
with friend and the guide. Upon rea-
ching Mt. Pleasant and finding snow, the
other gentleman and the guide returned,
taking Strickland's horse, who, in spite
of their entreaties, resolved to pursue
the journey on foot, and come down the
bride path and stop at Fabyan's Mt.
Washington house, whittier his baggage
has been sent. The next morning Craw-
ford went over to Fabyan's and, finding
the stranger had not been there, they
started in pursuit of him. They found
his track and followed it till Mi ht, but
only picked up portion of his clothes.
The next day he was found dead. 1t
seems he had lost the track, and proba-
bly, became insane in his wanderings, as
his pantaloons and drawers were found
in a hole in Ammnnoosuck brook, and
his legs and body were badly bruised.
The deceased was about thirty years
old, heir to large estates, and had been
travelling several months in this country,
with younger brother, who returned to
England from Boston a fortnight ago.
He'had letters to Bostonians, and be-
fore going to the White Hills had been
stopping at the fremont House, Boston.
Mr. Horace Fabyan had the corpse bur-
led in such manner as to be disintered
if his friends shall request it.

being two dollars too heavy. He was

Of this honorable court was. that he

as possible, concluded to take the 500
in champaign-which Was disposed of
before they adjourned.
