Mr.. EDITOR In the month of Ju.-
ly last, at a, special session Of the
Court of Common Pleas for our CIer-
mont) county, VIM. Harris was tried,
convicted and sentenced to three years
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary, for
stealing, from the steamboat landing,
at New Richmond, four or five hun
Ndred pounds of old copper pipe. This
pipe was the worn out worm from the
distillery Of David Gibson, of the
former place. Mr.. Gibson, in his tes.
timopy on the trial Of Harris, stated
that The norm had been in use six
years, aud that during that time he
had manufactured one hundred bar
rels of whisky per day. Now, no
reasonable person will doubt, for a
moment, that if Harris committed the
theft, he justly deserves the punish
ment he is now suffering. But these
circumstances suggest some interest.
ing reflections.
Punishments are instituted for the
peace, security and protection Of the
citizens, and when an individual acts
SO as to injure or abridge any Of these
rights, he should be punished. Let
C
above stated, and then consider the
k following facts and inquiries: Ac-
cording to Mr.. Gibson's own state
ment, he manufactured, during the six
years the Worm was in use, 10000
barrels of whisky, allowing 800 aOork-
ing days to the year. This, multiplied
by 40, (the number Of gallons in each
barely gives 100000 gallons J.
Supposing that every man, woman and
child in the State had drunk an equal
share Of this, and each one would
,have an allowance of nearly four gal
Ions And this from a single distil,
lery
Now, if William Harris, by the
simple act Of stealing this old worn
out worm of the still, infringed upon
I the rights Of our citizens to an extent
\ sufficient to warrant his incarceration
/ in the States Prison for a period of
three years, what shall be done with
\ the man who used that norm six years,
and manufactured one hundred bar
\ rels Of whisky every day during that
time? Who, by his acts, has injured
society-e endangered the peace and
/ quiet of the citizens to the greatest
William Harris or David Glib
son? Let tax payers answer; or,
rather, let those answer who have
seen their sons, their brothers, their
husbands, or their fathers, go down
to untimely graves, from the bite Of
that venemous worm of the still.

An earthquake occurred at Cramana, on
the 18th July, overthrOwing many build
inge, and burying 300 persons in the ruins,
SINCE the attempt to assassinate the En-
perOr at the Theatre Comique, neither EN-
peror nor Empress have gone to the public
theatre, but have arranged series Of pri-
vate theatricals, to take place at the differ
ent palaces, beginning at st. Cloud.
During the week ending Friday
July 18th, there were e6 deaths of yellow
fever in the Charity Hospital, New Orleans.

the sensibilities Of our resders, by the re.
cital of another terrible calamity from q
collision Of Railway trains
At s o'clock, yesterday morning, a coli
.ei 0odufled 0i ll6 f0rIa8nc6 ana 0g.
cester Railroad, which caused the death 81
fourteen persons, and seriously injured
about forty more. The collision occurred
between the regular up train and the ex-
cufsion train from MEETINGS. The latter
was out Of time, and met the up train at
Valley Falls. g uH .W.
The collision occurred at sharp curve
beyond Central Falls; the down train was
behind time and proceeded at the rate of
40 miles an hour to reach the switch, from
which there is double track to Providence.
In one minute the train would have reached
the switch. The up train waited the usual
time at Pawtucket, and then, having the
right to the road, proceeded at slow rate
round the curve.
The spectacle presented was most horrl-
bic. The wreck of engines, both OF which
were totally demolished, and the killed and
the wounded all lay together in one un-
slightly mass. The cars of the down train
suffered most. Several were broken in
pieces, and two of them were run together
as ycu would close a spy-glass. The up
train received but little damage, and, for
tunately no persons in it were killed or
seriously injured.
The excursion train consisted of six long
passenger cars, densely crowded; and the
cries Of those who were within, and who
were rot instantly killed, were heart-rend-
ing. As they were taken out, some with
broken arms and some with limbs and
bodies otherwise mangled, the painfulness
of the scene presented cannot be described.
There was soon large number of per-
sons on the ground, doing all they could to
alleviate the sufferings Of the wounded, and
to see the remains of those who were dead
cared for. The Boston train COM
ing in stopped nearly an hour to render
assistance. For a time, an intense excite
ment prevailed, and imprecations were
hurled at the heads of railroad companies,
directors, conductors, engineers, and all
who are in any way connected with rail-
roads. ID a
The first passenger car, which was next
to the engine, contained about sixty pas
sengers, nearly all from Whitinsviiile,
and many Of whom were either killed or
wounded. aa7 ilsa
The third car, on the downward train,
was driven over and into the one preceding
it some twenty feet, crushing everything
human within. The killed and wounded
had to be dragged from beneath.
The dead bodies were all placed in neat
Cofins, and as many as were known, sent to
their various homes for interment With

How men do tax their ingenuity to
invent snares for the Innocent; they
vie well with sold Nick' himself in
this diabolical business. Yet, as they
have before them the benefit Of his
example upon which to operate, they
cannot, with justice, be entitled his
rival competitors. Weahave reason to
believe thathe even, after having gain
ed entrance into the holy garden.
would have been foiled Of his damning
purpose, but for stratagem; not until
he stole upon the attention Of Zee,
with bewitching airs, bland words, Sc
ductive encomiums upon the "fruit Of
that forbidden tree,'' and deluded her
vision with the apple, gilded in hea-
ven's own lustre, did she take. Thus
we find all his irnitators among men,
resorting to a similar and not less
fatal expedient. Among the most nu-
merous class, is found the artful and
honey -tongued libertine. 1t is his
chief delight to fascinate the ear of
bis victim with touching tones, glow
lls
lascivious pictures Of an evil imagina-
tion. A perverted dialect flows, sill
ver-fedged from his lips, At length
his soft advances prevail, and his prey,
like fallen angel, lies prostrate at
his feet; and then the mad devil of
his cruel heart, lifting his craven head
supreme, exults over the splendor Of
the ruins he has wrought. His, were
a Badwork indeed. And yet extreme
ly akin to him is the corrupt author.
Heimprints upon the living tablet the
pictured reveries Of a lewd magma
ton, and in the loom Of his fancy,
weaves agilded snare to catch immor-
tai souls. The venom Of his influence
is not checked when he is dead, but
works as busily after; the poisoned
arrows Of his genius are buried deep
in the hearts Of succeeding genera
tons the offsprings Of his misused
mind are burning cankers in the bo-
SONS Of his fellow-men. His, were a
aOretched work. But of all the new
tangled, hell-born lingual articles that
have ever been invented by the devils
Vicegerents, to ensnare the feet of in
nocent men, we must award the high
est premium to the cbristeners of our
@ines, 50 much in Vogus Of late. Not
content to let the internal stuff do its
own bad work, not satisfied to see the
bones Of its victims scattered noun
tain-high from one side of this world
TO the other, in the unequal contest,
they, choose to invest it with a little
more power, by appending to it sweet,
musical, and bewitching names, in or
der that it may find a little easier ac-
cess to the lips Of the unsophisticated
and pure. "IHis Is the Gnkindest cat
