FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT.-We dnesday
afternoon, Mr.. Arnold Welles Brown, a son of
DR.. J. B. Brown, of Boston, was killed on the
Newton Branch Railroad. He had been ont to
Newton Lower Falls. on a visit to his uncle,
DIR. Warren, and while crossing of the
bridges in that place, on his way to the depot
to take the cars on his return, he was met by
the train. The bridge was narrow, and al
though Mr.. Brown, on discovering his peril
ous position, stood close against the railing, he
was struck BY the step of the second car, rolled
under the cars, and thrown off the bridge a
mangled corpse.
Mr.. B. was student at Andover Theologi-

AMERICAN PARTIES. Kossuth, in his speech
to the Jackson Association at Washington,
thus spoke of the political parties in this coun-
try.
My hopes and humble wishes are directed
to the people at large; but SO much l may be
permitted to say. that take it for great for
tune, great benefit that l have had several
opportunities to learn that that political party
to which you belong by your name, has an
ticipated some of these principles, the realiza-
ton of which is connected with my most warm
wishes. l take this for very happy circum
stance; but l know that there are two great
parties, and that | believe to be fortunate
thing for the country itself, because, If every
man were to belong to one party, there would
only be a unilateral consideration of every
question. (Laughter.) In order to grind
wheat and 20 make -four of it, two stones you
know are necessary. (Renewed laughter j.
One m st rub against the other, and then is
sues out the flour. (Applause.) And so it
IS with truth-so il is with conviction. II
there was only one party-you would not be
the people that have seen, who take no doc
trine. no assertion upon trust, and the fair
words of whoever you meet; but, as you con-
slider yourselves jud- cs of doctrines and princi-
pies, and having come to conviction, are ca
pable of acting energetically.'

these boot gatherers with their shoulders heap

citizens, and it has been repeatedly been an in
quiry in our mind, what can be done with those
seemingly useless articles. On seeing one of
these gatherers yesterday, we inquired what he
did with the fruits of his purchase, and learned
that they were purchased by persons in the city
who send them by hundreds to N. York, where
they are patched. tapped, heeled, sewed, and
otherwise repaired, as the case may require,

upon them, and all rushed for shelter. He,
with five others, ran into book store, where
the soldiers followed, and murdered all except
himself. Being indistinctly seen in the dark

that came towards him, saying that he was an
American the soldier stopped, and an officer
coming in, saved his life. He was taken out
among the troops and passed to The rear, many
of the soldiers offering to kill him, whom he
appeased BY telling that he was an American.
He arrived at the Rue Montmartre, where he
was told to run, the troops stopping fire till he
was out of danger. On visiting the spot of his
danger, two days after, every house was found
