MEETINGS IN ADRIAN.
Sunday Erening. Mr.. Garrison has spoken
twice to-day in Adrian-in Odd Fellows Hall, and
both meetings crowded to its utmost capacity
The audience listened with rapt attention. to every
word that fell from Mr.. Garrison's lips. His adj
dresses were full of moral grandeur and sublimity.

and the carnestness Of great purpose, and not as
the Scrbes lie carried conviction to his hearers,
that the slave was the representative of jesus
That outcast and suffering he was, to ignore his
cause was to deny Christie vlndicate II while
unpopular and infamous, was to bear the cross
which Christ bore, and to do the work in his dag,
which Christ did in his by fact and argument,
he demonstrated the utter folly Of looking to the
popular church for reform. Had the oppressed
patriots of Italy anything to hope from the church
Of Rome? OF course not, since that church was
itself the oppressor. Had the crushed liungarians
any thing to hope from the Christianity Of Austria.
OF course not for that Christianity the religion
Of the Emperor and the vast instrument Of their
oppression. And what more had the slaves to
hope from tho popular Christianity of the country,
where christians owned and held slaves, where
churches and ministers by song and sermon and
prayer and sacrament, blessed and sanctifcd the
sin and shook hands in fratcrnul fellowship with
the sinner It was a good time, and good will
doubtless result from the discussion.

She has just visited Detroit, and given two very

While there, she called upon the Catholic Bishop

Miss IIolcy is accompanied by Miss Putnam, {
helper indeed, in her work. Miss p. does excellent
service to the cause, by her bold and faithful advo
cacy of the cause in the sphere prescribed by lli

THE RAILROAD COLLISION.
| Mr.. Edwin Comstock, under whose hospitahlC
roof write, has just brought me q cory Of las
weeks Bugle | am not satisfied to let the motto,
it contains of the collision on the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Railroad pass without word of condcm
nation Of the criminal recklessncss which occasonet
it. Mr. Solomon W. Roberts, tho Superintendent
and Chief Engineer on the road, was unqucstonabl,
the man responsible for the occurrence. The resul
was sad enough, but no thanks to Mr.. Roberts, tha
it was not more fatal than it was. Admitting tn,
statement published last week, still Mr.. Roberts
was guilty Of gross and culpable rccklessness. Ill
knew his train was behind time he tclcgraphcd Il
the train from Pittsburgh to wait, and then withou
waiting himself for answer, or knowing tha
his message had been received, or if received tina
the Conductor would think best to wait, he pro
cecded on. At Strasburgh the Conductor propose,
to back off upon the side track, and wait till tn,
train from Pittsburgh should pass. Mr.. Robcr
objected. The Conductor told him they were al
ready fifteen minutes the time Of the other trUin
They had then seven miles to run to Alliance. Mr.
Roberts still insisted he could take the responsibility
and go himself upon the engine. The Conducto
submitted. Mr.. Roberts went upon the engine, bu
how much good he did there, the result shows. The,
ran about four miles, when the collision occurre,
at curve in the road. Had he even then exercises
due caution, by stopping and sending man aroun,
the curve, the collision might have been prevented
lie did not but rccklcssly proceeded. If no acci
dent had occurred, such conduct in risking the sal
ETY. Of three or four hundred human beings prove
him utterly unfit to have the management Of an
| railroad. And if ever men deserve the inHictio
of legal penalties for such acts Mr. Roberts deserve
to be made an example. If the railroad compan
have any suitable regard to the safety of passenger
or the reputation of the road, they will dispac
him.
We have several times passed over the road wit
Mr.. Ely, the Conductor. lie is young man, bu
he has ever seemed careful and attentive. lie
culpable, that on this occasion he did not frml
assert his right to direct the train What busincs
had Mr.. Roberts, if he was superintendent, to as
sumo the duties and responsibilities of the ConduC
tor? 1t was gross usurpation. And the respor
sibility which Mr.. Roberts so unwarrantabl
assumed, should be visited on his own head.
A just regard for the security of human life re
; quircs that we should make this statement. Th
statement last week, that one man had then died !

was incorrect AS l passed Alliance, the mex
