A singular and most novel accident occurred
| on the cars going East of this place a fe,r

particulars. Mr.. Robert Lay, who resides near

horse OF his own to the State Fair of New
York, and was in the car with the animal him.
sell. The train was in motion, and the doors
closed from the outside, when he discovered
hre In the forward part of the car among The
straw. Almost instantly il was in blaze.-
ne tired to exiinguish it,. but failing, he as-
| tempted IN vain to open the door. AT last he
succeeded, but the train being under full head
way ne dare not leap. He remained on il
until badly burnt, when he jumped of, and
narrowly escaped with his life, no bones being
broken. Before the fire was discovered the
car was nearly destroyed, and the noble horse
suffocated or burnt to death. Mr.. Lay has suf.
fered much from his burns, but his life was
most providentiaIly preserved under these most
critical, yet novel ircumstances.-Genera

A Colporteur, in North Carolina, has remar-
kable success in working off books among
those that use them. One poor family sold
eggs enough, al five cents dozen, 10 buy
Bible, and good selection of other books. A
man who could not read, but was blessed with
good wife who wanted books, was at the
trouble Of putting up few cords Of wood aud
burning il to coal, for which he received four
cents per bushel, and thus procured the means
Of supplying her with library. And now
when the labors of the day are ended, he lakes
care Of the baby while his wife reads aloud
