Senator Douglass.

The popular Illinois Senator has been
among the Fernonters, where, he was ev-
eryw here greeted with evidences of the eX-
allied National reputation he has rapidly ac-
quireG. He was mt MitldIeberry, the home
Of his youth, during the commencement ex
ercises of the College. On the evening of
his arrival, there was n large collection OF
citizens at his quarters, bands of music,
&c. He was greeted with three cheers
from the crowd, which was answered by an
ofhand speech, such as he is capable of
making ell-,imed, and admirable in all
its matter and manner. He observed that
it was his first return TO his native State af-
ter an absence Of many years, and express
ed his qualification at the kind reception
rendered him wherever he had been; he
hardly anticipated that he should have been
recognized; that his old townsmen had kept
trace of his wanderings." He said he had
"never enjoyed the good fortune Of being g
graduate of the noble institution whose an-
niversary they were now celebrating; but
he had, nevertheless, taken some youthful
lessons in our town, at IN institution some
what less renowned, but which he remem-
bered nevertheless, with afiectation, and

Three cheers were given for "Dougiass
the cabinet-maker." A voice from the
crowd: I'VE ,ciu soon haze him back a
his old trade" After an enthusiastic re-
spouse TO the sentiment had subsidized, the
Senator briefly replied: "lf you do, | wiI

The sudden and mysterious disappearance OF the

adjacent, with both legs broken and his M IN

SERIOUS COLLISION UPON THE VERMONT
CENTRAL ednesday NOR
ming, a serious collision occurred at West
Hartford, VT, upon The Vermont Central
Railroad, between the down passenger
train, due in this city at about > Z. NJ, and
an up freight train, under the following cir
cumStances:
The freight train consisted Of ninety load
ed cars This train was detained on the
route by some accident to one Of The cars
After this difficulty was OBJ lated, the cngi-
neer found that he had but fourteen min
utes before the passenger train was due a
the next station. Under all the circum
stances, he thought, probably, that it wa,
ms safs to go ahead and attcmp, to react
the station before the passenger train left it
as to go back with his heavy train. 1t ap
pears, however, that he was fiuriie by thu
dilemma in which he was placed, and di,
not send man ahead to stop the passenger
train, as he undoubtedly should have done
when he found that his speed was not stuff
cient to make up for his lost time.
The passenger tram had a powerful en-
CINE named the Ontario, and was on dowi
grade, coming ut II fearful rate. The col
lision occurred on curve. The engines
were interlocked, and the engineer an,
brakemen saved their lives by jumping off

THE DEMOCRAT OF LAST TUESDAY,
Like a steaming, unwashed tripe, this journal
again comes ont, and it again becomes the duty Of
the Pioneer to throw chlorine over it, for The sake
of The public health The leading feature in that
journal, this week, is IFS throwing off the disguise
of Democracy, as i, did just before the last cleo
ton, and coming out as the open, avowed cham
pion of the Rice Winnebago Fur Company, as
opposed TO the other Fur Company. We quote
the language Of the Democrat:
The Fun COMPANY DESIRES TO CONTROL
THE BUSINESS OF THE TERRITORY. H. NJ
Rice is their most POWERFUL riual and CON petit
tor lie is man Of wonderful resources and
enterprise; aud has almost driven the Fur Com
pany out Of the Winnebago and Chippewa trade
lie battles the Company as did Napoleon the
crowned heads of Europe.
Again: The only question presented therefore
in the Legislative canvass, is whether such COM
bination that, OR THE PEOPLE, shall govern
Minnesota.
