RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND MELANCHOLY
LCSSOF LIFE.

The New York Time Of Tuesday says
We are this morning called upon 10 record
another sad accident on the Hudson River
Railroad. 1t appears that about thrtythree
laborers employed on the road, and closing
their work soon after O'Clock last evening,
started on their raturn 10 the city on gravel
train. On approaching Spuyten Tuyvil Creek,
the Station Agent hoisted signal Of danger,
The draw of The bridge being then up but
the engineer not observing the warning sig
nal, continued his course, and the whole
train, locomotive, tender, and seven gravel
cars, with upwards of thirty men, wen,
through into water, causing a melancholy
loss Of life. and severe injuries 10 those who
escaped death. The fireman, young man
by the name Of Casey, was killed the engi-
neer, Mr.. Kelley, had both of his legs bro
ken, ami was otherwise injured On remov-
ing him from his situation, the arm Of another
man was felt under the waller, but it was
found impossible TO extricate him. John
Russell, of No. 52s Greenwich street, wa.
rescued in a critical state and brought 10

THE TABLE MOVING EXPERIMENT..

Since the advent Of Spiritual Rapper.
ism" in Harrisburg, the experiment OF NOV
ing table without the application of any
visible force, has been tried repeatedly with
entire success. The experiment is simple
and may easily be tried. Let party of
six or eight persons sit around common
pine table for twenty minutes or half an
hour with the palm of the hands held fiat
on the top of the table. Presently the table
becomes so charged with nervous fluid, ami
NAL magnetism, or something else, that it
begins to move, and rise from lis feet, and
in some instances turn entirely round, with
out any visible agency. We believe the
fist experiment in this place was nude by
John Wyeth, and our citizens generally
were disposed 10 regard il as a "hoax."-
Since then numerous experiments have been
made with astonishing success. The exper-
imcnt has been made for some time a COM
mon amusement "ou, West" and its intro.
duction in the east is quite recent. The
New York Tribune notices its introduction
into that city, coupled with the new "dodge"
that after the table begins 10 move it is not
essential that the hands should touch it,
though they must be held near and move
with table. Who can give US the rationale
Of this new Spiritual manifestation ~

FIVE CHILDREN IN ELEVEN MONTHS A

children al one biuh, year ago; and as her
landlord was whole ssuled gentleman, he
gave the lady fifty dollars as an acknowledg.
ment OF her superior skill in household af-
fairs, telling her at the same time that if
she would perform that feat again he would
give her farm. With an eye probably on
the farm, in just eleven months from the
day that the three were born she produced
pair of twins, The landlord said she failed
to win the farm but the intention no doubt
being fair, the attempt was worth paying
for, and he therefore presented her with one
hundred dollars. That's what we call val

"Yon seem happy, Annette, always. l
have never been in a family where the
husband and wife seemed more so.'
DWELL done Kate" said Mrs. Hnntington'
laughing, you have used the word seem on
y twice in that short sentence. And now
you have begging way about you, as if
you were really in earnest TO hear some
thing about married life, before taking the
fatal step. 1t is well Harry is not here to
see the look of sadness in the eye of his
bride-elect. He might fancy her heart
was full of misgivings instead of wedding
fnery."
"Don't laugh at me, Annette talk with
me as you used to do. love Henry, you
know, and yet l have many misgivings
about married life. see so few who are
really happy in this reIation.-I mean hap

"Quarrel no, not often now. We had

SELECT POETRY.
TRUE POETRY.

To those wearied with wandering over
the arid waste Of political discussions, and
the trivialities that make up the news of
the day, it is refreshing both TO mind and
heart to meet with such well springs of true
poetry as this which we subjoin. "The
strain is of higher mood'-but whence it
comes, or from whose full SOUL we know
not.
Sheer, as many wise ones do, a, the poets
corner of country newspapers, it yet often
versifes the truth of GTay's beautiful, though
not hackneyed lines, when from it can be
taken such gems as this Southern Press.

The idea is taken from the device on a
