The train from Bostos ran through o. Nom
day over the whole Tine end on Tuesday mora
ing the two daily passenger trains each way and
the freight trains were again put in operation &C.
cordins to the regular summer arrangement
The amount of freight is now very large, As the
road has not only to do the ordinary business
but to transport what has been accommodating
during the la.e interruption. 1t will be observ-
ed that tire road was in readiness on the day we
yentured TO name in our last. and this notwiih-
standing The bresking down Of train last week,
which prolonged the work. This Happened at
a Temporary truss work between this place and
North6eld The engine was overturned but the
cars remained right side up, with platforms and
trucks pretty well bruised, however. The pas
sengers all came out safe four persons connec-
ted with the road went over with the engine
one escaped With broken fnger-another with
slight wounds, and two unframed OF four peg
sons in the baggage car, one was unframed, two
slightly bruised, and one Postmaster Winslow)
severely bruised in the head and neck. The ac-
cldent is chargeable TO q failure in the truss
work. The same train (w:ihout passeugers) had
passed up safely half hour before for the fret
time. and no failure was discernible. On return
ing, the work gave way. The engineer, howev-
err, was running with great prudence, very slow
land to this fact is the remarkable escape Of
the passengers due. The Central is certainly
lucky in its accidents: no passenger on the road
has ever been severely injured. This accident
has led to extraordinary precautions at othe:.
points of repair, and thus safety is ensured for
the transportation Of persons and property. i.

Mr.. PICK has really acted with neither, but

was elected TO Congress by the old locofoco

it was expected that he would act with the OLD

was formed and his party protested radical
change, in favor Of free soiiism. Mr.. Peck could
go either with the old liners, 0. with the coaIi-

and Courier have shown his action against the
Free Sellers in his votes for Forney. We will
further illustrate our view Of his position by his
votes for Speaker. Mr.. Peck voted sirty tves

Taking the Census.

We almost envy the Deputy Marshals
their fun in the "arduous and intricate
business they are engaged in" Only
fancy a rubicond visaged old gentleman,
with pair of green spectacles placed
low down upon his nose to enable him
to behold the naked truth at times, (for
the law is nervous about admitting evi-
dence acquired through the influence OF
gIasses,) coming to the door of an Irish
shanty. Mrs. Murphy is at home with
the rev born babe in her arms and about
half dozen of the "rising generation"
about the floor.
The marshal assuming an official air
of Importance, opens his book, points his
finger to the virgin page, and looking up
asks the question
"What is your name! Z"
"Why, thin, what is that to you, now y

Premature Education.

That the Education of Children should
not be forced, like lettuce in hot houses,
IS becoming popular idea. The more
haste, in such business, the less speed
We find the following opinions of learns

ject =
OF ten infants destined for different vo.
cations, | should prefer that the one who
is TO study through life, should be the
least learned at the age of twelve.-Tis-
sot.
Intellectual effort in the first years oil
life is very injurious. All labor Of mind
which is required of children before the
seventh year, is in opposition 10 the laws
of nature, and will prove injurious to the
organization and prevent its proper and
mature developement.-Hufeland.
Experience demonstrates that OF any
number of children Of equal intellectual
powers, those that receive no particular
care in infancy, and who do not begin to
read and write until the constructions be-
gin to be consolidated, but who enjoy the
benefit of good physical education, very
soon surpass in mental development.

three of the latter happened to meet to-

and then go TO work to brush up the Goals
and put the fire out. But finding he had
more work TO accomplish than he could
perform, the fire catching in so many pla-
ces, he gave notice a; the window, and
called for assistance. The person enter
ed the house, secured the woman, swept
up the Goals, put out the fire, and returned
TO haying. j
Now, instinct would have taught the
dog to make his escape from a burning
building; but being conscious that this
woman was crazy-knowing that she
would burn the house-and finding that
he could not manage the affair, but learn
ing that the sane persons could-calling
for their assistance, and giving them no
tice of the danger, seems very much like
what the wise persons call reasoning, or
would seem like it if it had been done by
a human being.

My Mother never Lies.

A few ladies had met at the house of a
friend in the city of ST. Louis, for an eve.
ming visit, when the following scene and
conversation occurred.
The child of one OF the ladies', about FIVE
years old, was guilty of rude and noisy
conduct.
"Sarab, yoH must not do So"
The child soon forgot the reproof, and
became as noisy as ever. The mother
firmly said
"Sarah, if you do so again will pun.
ish you.'' f
But not long after. Sarah did so again
When the company were about TO sepa-
rate, the mother stepped into neighbor's
house, intending to return for her child.
During her absence the thought Of going
home recalled to the mind of Sarah the
punishment which her mother told her
she might expect. The recollection turn
ed her rudeness into sorrow. A young
lady present observing it, and learning
the cause, in order to pacify her sorrow,
said
''Never mind, will ask your mother
not to whip you"
"Oh," said Sarah, "that will do no good,
my mother never tells a lie."
The writer, who communicated the a.
bove TO the St. Louis Observer, says:
81 learned a lesson from the reply OF
that child which shall never forget. 1t
is worth everything in the training of a
child, TO make it feel its mother never tells
