Otto Goldschmd's marriage with Jenny
Lind was after all a very natural aiIair-the
world had imagined it TO be celestial, from
the divine character Of Jenny, most likely.
He married Jenny and Jenny married Otto,
after the usual manner-it was a bargain
between TWO contracting parties, both having
the necessary mental capacity to enter into
the covenant /; and il was induced at least
tracts-it had the consideration, at all
events, of Last Will and Testament
natural affection. On her part il was re-
turn for obligations conferred by Otio and
Olo's father, besides sundry other causes
';moving her thereunto," and on his side, he
seems TO have made kind of draft on his
Ged-mother, which was accepted and paid
in promises of love, honor, and obedience.
Thousands of persons have committed mat
rimony and passed along the world as the
lawyers say, "under bonds" and we do not
see that Otto Goldschmidt and Jenny have
made out different case al all.
Mr.. Goldschmidt is the favorite son of one
of the richest merchants in Hamburg, Ger;
many. His grandfather is proprietor of a
gigantic Silk Merchants House, that has
three establishments one in London, a
second in Hamburg, and the third in Leip-
zig. Otto Goldschmidt was, therefore, Jen-
ny Lind's equal in wealth, needed none OF
,.er money, and cared no, pin for it. Ma
ny years ago, when the Swedish Nightingale
was poor birdling, without friends or mon
ey, Otto Goldschmidrs father, (being as sa-
gacious as he was wealthy, and as benevo-
lent as he was sagacous,) protected, aided
and fostered her and it may be that the
merry young Otto, who was then charming
little fellow, soul full of genius and loving
to fault, said many kind things TO the gen.
tie and talented Swede, was caressed by her
in return, and learned 10 love her so well
when a child that he could not overcome hi.
affection when he became man and So
OF course, il overcame him. He was Men
delssohn's favori,e pupil, and early exhibited
remarkable musical talents and the fail
Swe de doubtless felt that interest and affec
ton for the boy that the child of genius
ever feels for beings of like exquisite organ
izaiions and heaven gifted attributes. They
who know the human heart will not think j
strange, after reading thus far, that Jenny
Lind should have loved Otto; and eact
dearly loving the other, it is not wonderful
that they should have been married it il
only wonderful that they were not mai
ried before.-N. Y Musical World.

SHOCKING RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT.

The Boston Journal of The 25th inst, con-
iains the following particulars of frighlul
rail road accident which occurred in that
neighborhood on the previous evening:
One of the most shocking accidents which
has taken place in this vicinity for long
time, occurred about II O'Clock, last evening
on the Fitchburg Rail Road, at road cross
ing ir West Cambridge, near The Waverly
depot. As we learn the facts from pas
senger, it appears that the Northern special
train from Burlington was approaching the
crossing at speed Of about forty miles an
hour; the engineer blew his long steam
whistle and rung his bell, as usual, at the
same time reversing his engine. This was
noticed by some of the passengers, who sus-
peced that there was something more than
ordinary in the way, from the fact Of the
engine being reversed while the train was
going at so rapid speed, and some left
their seats for the purpose of looking out
side. Before the train could be stopped,
however, the engine struck carryall con-
tanning MIR VIM, Sawyer, Of Charleston, his
wife, three daughters and Mr.. John Gibbs,
son-n-law of Mr.. Sawyer, knocking the
carryall into fragments, and instantly killing
Mr.. Sawyer, his eldest daughter, young
lady about 1S years Of age, and Mr.. Gibbs.
The two Other daughters were young child
rem, the eldest Of whom was thrown con-
siderable distance from the track, and es-
capped without any serious injury. The
youngest, an infant, was in its mothers
lar enough, was retained TO her embrace,
while she was carried distance of seventy
or eighty rods on the front of the engine,
before the powerful instrument of destruc-
lion could be stopped. When picked up,
Mrs. Sawyer was senseless, her skull being
fractured and portion of the brain protrud.
ing therefrom. The infant to whom she had
so fondly clung in such a terrible moment,
escaped unharmed. She, together with the
two children, were taken TO The residence OF
Mr.. Reed, near by, where physicians were
speedily called, and every attention paid the
sufferers.
Mr.. Sawyer appeared 10 have been struck
on the lef, side Of the head and body, and
was not much bruised. Mr. Gibbs was SC
badly mutlated as 10 scarcely bear even the
resemblance 10 human being, his head
being crushed 10 jelly, his inlestines pro.
truding from his body, and his body and
limbs mangled most shockngIy. The hor.
ses just escaped instant death, and the last
heard from them they were dashing up the
road al furious speed. The train was de.
tanned about an hour behind its usual time
of reaching the city, and Immediately after
its arrival at the depot here, another engine
and car, with such friends of Mr.. Sawyer
and the family as desired, returned 10 the
scene Of The accicent.
MIR. Sawyer was about fifty years of age
and was recently appointed Chairman of The
Board of Inspectors Of the State Prison.
Very little hope is had for the recovery O
Mrs Sawyer.
