A Terrible Death.

Mr.. Frank Ward, wheeright of Boston
met most horrible heath on Friday, by fal.
ling from gravel train. near Quincy. Nc
less than fifteen cars, weighing in ali abou.
one hundred tons, passed over his body
The legs of the unfortunate man were com
pletely severed in three places, the trunk was
cut into three distinct pieces, his arms were
also separated into four pieces, while his head
was cut completely off, and all that could be
found it was mass OF brains, flesh and
crushed bone, not more than two inches
thick. The fragments were scattered along
the road for more than fifty rods.
The deceased was stranger 10 those con-
nected with the train, but The pieces of bis
body being gathered up and taken to the
Boston depot, his wife repaired tbither, and
as part of the trunk with his coat hanging
to it, was lifted from the box, she uttered o
shrek Of agony, screaming, ,-"Ifs Frank! it's
Fank~ II was thus that his name was as.

A HaDDy Illustration.

The Courier des Etats Unis. in an article on
the caloric ship Ericsson, illustrates the ope-
ration Of the wire apparatus, In alternately
heating and cooling the same volume ofair.
in the following opposite manner:
"The great fundamental principle Of the
transmission Of caloric cost the inventor
twenty years Of reflection 10 realize in this
machine, 1t consists in using constantly
the same heat 10 warm the air which is mlde
10 enter the cylinders. The apparatus by
means Of which this principle is applied is
called regenerator, and we can form clear
idea Of il by spposing that man has his
mouth filled with warm metallic sponge;
if he draws in his breath. the exte rfor air, in
traversing the pores Of the warm sponge, will
itself be warmed, and will arrive warm into
the lungs, whilst the sponge having parted
with It's calorc, will have become cold; if
he exhales the air thus warmed, his air, in
again traversing the sponge, will again warm
ii, aud will come out reduced in temperature.
If instead Of producing these movements by
the contraction Of the muscles of the breast
of the individual, an ordinary bellows is
adapted 10 the mouth 10 produce the inhslb-
ton and The exhalption, we well nigh have

swat for the Wagon,

The following extract from the Virginia
Gazette Of 1888, read at the Wheeling R. R
Celebration, the "rising generation" are in.
clined to laugh at:
THE Baltimore and Ohio Wagon Compa-
ny, with capital of 100000 (one-f fourth
ofwhich is paid in) transport goods and pro-
duce between Wheeling and Ba ltimore. -
One wagon departs and arrives daily from
each OF these places with load weighing
from 2t to 20 tuns, and occupying eight days
upon the road and arrange are in pro-
gress 10 increase the number OF daily arrivals
and departures from one 10 three wagons,
and eventually to i've"
This arrangement was the origin of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
which, when their road is fully completed
and stocked, will represent capital Of S20,-
100000. The distance which the wagons
made in eight days will now be accomplish
ed in one by the cars with 300 instead of 29
tons for load. Baltimore and Wheeling
didn't "wait for the wagon"
Neither towns cities nor individuals can
keep pace with the "course ofempire" if they
swat for the wagon" The iron sinews d
the locomotive are fast taking the place o.
horse flesh, and the noise OF the "squeaking
lumber wagon" is being hushed by the hum
OF myriads Of cars,
4 The town that will not move to aid in any
great enterprise, or encourage Improvements,
supposing all will come right spcntually, is
"waiting for the wagon" The individual
who sits down in his store or factory sup
posing that business will come to him with
out letting the people know what he sells OF
manufactures, is "waiting for the wagon" y
The man who don't take the papers, think
ing its an expense without benefit and
that he will "learn the news anyhow" is
waiting foran 'old rusty wagon" that will
never reach him. In short, il won't do, in
any position in life, nowadays, to "wait
for the wagon'"

and fire slowly breaking through the wood

stly advanced and stood befole it, 10 hide
the FIRE from the view of her pupils. While
in this position she dismissed the school in a
manner not calculated to excite any suspi-
cion Of the little ones, and they all went out
by the varions stairway in perfect safety
In the meantime she had informed the prin-
eipal Of the male department, who managed

Then the alarm was given TO The citizens and

Verdict in an Advertising case.

In suit in the Supreme Court yeasterday
before Judge Oakley, brought by the Courier
and Enquilei against Henry |. Ibbotsop. for
three hundred dollars for advertising, the iu-
ry rendered verdict for plaintiff oi three
hundred and eighteen dollars and eighty nine
cents, the amount claimed with interest,"
1t appears that, when the advertisement was
taken TO the Courier Office, there was some
misunderstanding respecting the number of
insertions. 1t was put in, loaded and dis
played, and remained SO for one hundred and
fifty days, at Two dollars for each insertion.
The defence set up was Chiefly that Mr.. Ib-
botson's orders in respect 10 the advertise
ment were not carried out. However, he
took the Courier and Enquirer daily, and as
was presumed by the Court. saw the adver-
tisement in question, and SHOULD have noti-
fed The editor 10 alter or discontinue it,
The court ruled that he should have giveE
this notice, and not have expected 10 enjoy
the benefit Of the advrtise ment without pay
