MEssRs. EDIToRs: have on several occa-
sions attended the concerts of the Carncross
family, and always found the house crowded.
Miss Rosamond's most admired piece is the
celebrated "Echo Song" Miss Augusta sings
exceeding well, "Why don't the men propose p
NEW England" and {" Johnny Sands" are the
favorite pieces of Miss Adelia Miss Adelia
and Miss Augusta are very amusing in the
DUETS of "Johnny's Courtship" and :" Man and
Wife," The quartette, g Old King Cole, was
much admired. They also dance very grace
fully and difficult waltz with Mr.. Nichols was
well executed. The "Yankee Courtship," their
beautiful burlesque, and best piece, was well
performed. They show fine taste in their per-
formances, and every one should take advan-
tage of the present opportunity to attend their
pleasant entertainments. u.

ExEcUTroN.-On Friday last Aaron Stookey
was hung at New York for the murder Of q
colored man named Teddy Moore. He died
very penitent and very grateful to all who had
shown him compassion, including the sheriff
and officers. The Rev. Mr.. Camp prayed most
eloquently with him. His brief farewell speech,
in the honest hour of death, was as follows:
"My dear fellow-creatures, am here before
you to die, and hope to go before my God in q
few moments. am sorry to have to tell you
to beware of rum--beware Of it--beware of the
rum--never touch nor handle it, nor let il near
you. / am sorry to say am under the gallows,
and hope God will have mercy on my soul
that is all the hope have got in this world,
and pray God will look down on me aud re-
ceiye my soul"

Tn. Boston Railroad Jubilee.

The New York Morning Star says, that the
modern Athens, having annexed Canada to
Faneuil Hall with railroad iron, is dancing n
fandango in honor Of the junction. The same
paper remarks that the speeches, with the ex-
ception Of Mr.. Fillmore's and Daniel Webster's,
" smell remarkably strong of Bunker Hill mon
ument, Boston hsrbor, Cape Cod, and all along
shore;" but their beauty is, that "no human
being, who did not know beforehand, could by
any possibility guess what line of public works
they refer to, and in fact they would be utterly
uninteligible without railroad guide.A. There
is any quantity of illusions to bands of iron,
links of STEEL and all that sort Of thing,
sprinkled through the proceedings, but no ref
erence to any specific bands and links. Fortu-
nately We know the road via Vermont to the
never find our way by the help of the celebra-
ton speeches"
That our readers may have something inteli-
gible on the subject, we quote the following
from the New York Tribune:
"Twenty years ago the first charter for n
railroad was granted in Massachusetts; seven
teen years ago the first railroad was opened to
the public; and they are now celebrating at
Boston the completion Of n system of seven
trunk lines, with numerous and extensive
branches, including within the bounds of the
State above one thousand miles Of railway, be-
sides Mt least fifteen hundred miles Of direct
extensions or connexions beyond its borders.

SENATOR DoUGLAs.-The address of this emil
nent citizen and statesman, before the Agricul-
tural society of the State of New York, on Fri
day last, is reported at length in the New York
Herald of Saturday, and occupies more than
four closely printed columns. The practical
information it embodies high as has been our
estimate Of the general information of the
speaker, has truly astonished us, and the sound
practical views he expresses on many important
subjects are such as to win the admiration of
every reader. The peroration was in the fol-
lowing eloquent language:
"Mr President and Gentlemen: In bringing
this discourse to conclusion, / am not insen-
sible to the magnitude and Importance of my
theme. have approached it with difidence,
before an auditory critically observant of its
great practical and philosophical truths, and
have obeyed your fiattering request with con-
seriousness that the noblest pursuit of man de-
mands broader and higher reach of thought
than | have found time and opportunity to
bring to its elucidation. ] have sought at least
to show not only the dignity and value of your
calling, in its influence over the destiny and
elevation of our country, but to enforce the
great truth, that common interest links to-
gether throughout all the diversites Of soil, Of
climate, and of production, the noble fabric of
American industry.
"In taking leave Of such theme let me say
that you may well rejoice in your pursuits.
You may well rejoice in its triumphs--the
peaceful triumphs Of labor, of art, and of
science. You may recall with pride that illus
trious race Of cultivators, who, from Cincin-
natus to Washington, graced and ennobled agri-
culture, and which in turn graced and cnnobled
them. You may congratulate yourselves upon
the condition aud attitude of your society. If,
in the rank of American States, New York holds
lofty position, the labors of its State society
will be the more widely productive Of benign
results, not only in promoting and advancing
its own husbandry, but its bright example will
be felt in all quarters of the republic. Let me-
then, urge you to renewed and unremitted eff
| fort; to continued zeal and emulation in the
discharge Of duties to your State and country,
which bring with them the blessing Of God and
the gratitude of men. AS the dews from hea-
ven refresh and fertilize the EARTH and gladden.
the heart of the husbandman, 80 will your
labors, steadily pursued, wisely directed, and
literally disseminating the seeds Of intelligent
observatian and experience, bring forth rich
and abundant harvest"

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. We seldom look into
q newspaper that does not record some lament
able disaster on one of the railroads of our
country and the frequency Of their occurrence
has begun to attract the most earnest inquiries
rs to some means Of their prevention. The
New York Sun states, that on all the European
railroads men are employed at each principal
way-station whose especial duty it is to examine
the soundness and security Of every wheel
and axle Of every train, and to examine and fill
up the oil or greese boxes. There are also gates
and gate-keepers at every place where a public
wagon road crosses the track. These gates are
closed on both sides of the track before the
train comes along, and only opened after it hat
passed. At every material curve in the road
and at every tunnel and bridge, men are sta
toned with signals to indicate whether train.

upon the bridge.

and Ohio Railroad, west of Cumberland, OF

of three or four gondola or iron cars was pro
