We were hugely amused the other day
when we noticed that those STARS" had not
only risen again but had risen in such blood
and 'ounds and thunder, poor fellow! when
we got done laughing and come to reflect, we
felt rather sorry for him, to think he could go
into such spasms over a trivial remark Of ours.
We are not a friend of grogshops as such, o
no! we dislike them as much as "Stars'' but,
we shant explain nor defend, it's not worth
while "Stars" Woalfnt understand us and isn't
worth the trouble 'nohow." The bein in
which "Stars" uniies his nice Starry notes
proves conclusively that hatred Of ourselves,
actuates him, far more than 4Uve Of virtue,
and we strongly suspect his opposition to
grogshops arises simply from the fact, that
he is unwilling to go there and pay for his
liquor like a gentleman, but prefers going into
some back room or cellar where lie can get a
private horn for nothing. Hope we may hear
from you again 1Stars," for decidedly you are
amost amusing chap, you beat Dan Rice all
hollow you do. Do write Immediately if not
sooner.

A FKraHTFUL LEAP.-A most horrible &C
eden, occurred recently On the railroad running
from New Haven to Boston. Where the road
crosses Norwalk River, by means Of a draw
bridge, one hundred and thirty feet in length,
while the draw-bridge was up, the train run
ming at the rate Of fifty miles an hour was
precipetated into the iver-the locomotive
making a leap Of sixty-feet and striking the
abutment on the other side. Six cars in all
were at this frightful speed hurled into some
twelve feet of water, falling twenty-five or thirty
feet. There were two hundred and sixteen
passengers in the cars at the time, and upwards
Of fifty dead bodies have been recovered
There was a signal up warning the engineer
that the draw-bridge was up, and a boat pas
sing, but no attention whatever was paid to 1t.
The conductor and engineer have both been
arrested, and a bill reported to the Legislature
Of the State, imposing a fine of ten thousand
dollars for every person killed by Railroad ac-
cident. So say letter writer's. T~hefrequency
Of these disasters have of late diverted much
Eastern travel from cars and whenever they
can, many passengers prefer Steamboats, for
safety. If our old Feliciana road don't go fifty
miles an hour-or rather the cars on tive
cant complain on the score Of its dangers, and
" ~
the loss Of life it occasions any way.
