BATHING. -" Cleanliness is next to god
OF the way 1t is needless, we hope, to recommend
frequent bathing to our readers, who doubtless prac
tice daily additions but we shall do them service
in pointing their attention to the fine saloon of f.
Thatford, 400 Grand-st. Clinton, where they
can ENJOY Il luxurious bath without fear Of undertow
or sharks take cold, warm or shower, as inclination
may dictate, get soothingly shampooed or carefully
shaved. and go home looking and feeling like
Christian. A place like this, kept In order and al
ways ready. is comfort particularly enjoyable dur
ing these desperately hot days when one feels SEMI
amphibous IN his lncllnations.

The ACCIDENT on The NEw-HAvEN
RAILRoAp.-We are happy TO inform the public that
the late accident on the NewHaven Railroad near
NewRochelle has been usual in such cases great
" exaggerated. From the best information We can
obtaln-in some instances from seeing the persons
njured-we can state that no lives have been lost,
and that none Of the passengers are dangerously nor
we trust permanently injured Among the passen-
gers credibly informed, there are no bones
broken, except in one instance the arm of lady, IN
another ladys collar bone and the joint of the hip
bone, and the wrist Of gentleman The most Sc
nous injury Is that TO OF the brakemen, whose
leg is broken but at the last accounts he was dong
well and Is expected TO recover. Ii has hitherto
been the good fortune OF the New Haven Railroad
Company In connection with the exercise OF great
care and attention on the part of the management,
that of the number of passengers transported by
them in the last two years and half, estimated by
morning paper at about 100000, but one, child,
that fell from the platform OF car. has been killed.
The circumstances attending the late catastrophe
have been as fully as possible investigated by the
Companys officers, and there j. no reason 20 doubt
that the accident occurred from the falling OF the
brake as generally stated. |; appears also, that no
wheel or axle of any of the the train is broken
Whether the falling Of the brake itself was caused
by fracture Of the bolt on which It was suspended,
or BY the unforeseen breaking OF otherpari Oft
cannot DC ascertained This a. least is certain-thai
all the cars composing the train were twice carefully
inspected within the sihours preceding the accident
once before leaving NcwHaven on "Wednesday
morning, and once again in New-lor the same
Jay before they left on the trip which the accident
happened These cars arrived here about 10 O'Clock
n NJ and len again at p. NJ. In this interval
'"ef were carefully and thoroughly examined by a
io>' competent person. WIG tried the wheels brakes
&c, ana found them all in perfect order The cars
wee comparatively new, The brakes were the patent
eonsie-aeuns brakes Of the mos, approved consruc-
ton and were supplied IN every case either with
cham or spring guards to secure them from falling IN
case OF The loss or breaking the bolt, To consruc
i brake which shall act efficiently and a, the same
time he absolutely secure against accidents of this
Kind. has long engaged the attention Of Railroad Of
hccrs and is not 50 easy Of Accomplishment, as inc,
icrencej persons may imagine
