be in secret or in public. 1t pertains
to the dignity Of the body to regulate

President consults us in relation to the
propriety of that nomination, the very

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-As the mail
train from Boston on Monday morning
was passing through a bridge near
Fitchburg, Mass, on the Cheshire
Railroad, the engine and mail car were
suddenly precipitatcd into the river.
The switch having been left wrong, the
engine was thrown directly on the
cross ties, which instantly gave way,
and let the train through. The engi-
neer saw the danger just in time to
shut off the steam and escape, with the
fremen, to the forward part of the en-
CINE, which, no doubt, saved their
lives.
The mail agent (NIr. Sheldon) },
mail bags, chairs, &c., were piled in
n corner of the car, which lay at an
angle of 49,. The expressman saved
himself by jumping. Very fortunate
ly no person was injured.

SUDDEN DEATH AND SAD ACCIDENT
A shoemaker named Joseph Green, of
Melrose, while at work on his bench on
Wednesday, fell forward upon the floor,
and expired almost instantly. His grand
son, Benjamin T, Green, aged IA years,
was sent on horse back to Reading, to
inform a brother of Mr.. Green Of his
death, and while crossing the railroad
the horse stumbled and threw the boy
over his head. One foot was in the stir
rup, and he was dragged some distance
upon the ground, and was so much injur-
ed that his life is despaired of. Mr.
Green was seventy'three years old.

MIDDLEBURY, APRIL 20, 1853


On Monday of last week, the rumor
was very current in Washington that
there was to be a rccast Of the Cabi-
net. The nocturnal summons to Sem
ators to be in attendance on that day,
to act upon a further communication
from the President, after having been
informed that he had no other business
for them to do, afforded some plausi-
bic ground for such a belief. If such
an event was really in contemplation
by the President, all occasion for it
had passed away before the assem-.
bling of the Senate. Quite another rea.
son was assigned for this urgency-to
wit, the confirmation of Mr.. Buchan-
an as minister to England-and only
a serene sky was apparent to outsi-
ders, where q storm had been conf
IDENTIFY anticipated.
Many will probably still believe this
fair exterior to be deceptive. There
is much reason to suspect that there has
been anything but unison or harmony
among the undeniably discordant ele,
ments which compose the cabinet. 1t
was formed on the manifest principle
of attempting to harmonic and con-
solidate the party by taking into cabi.
net fellowship and authority prominent
representatives of the various incon-
gruous political sects that combined to
to give Gen. Pierce the election. AS
such a body can have no real unity,so
also, it may be safely predicted, will
it be impossible always to conceal the
inevitable jars by which its councils
must be disturbed.
AT this early day, every possible eff
fort must of course be made to pre-.
vent so untoward an occurrence as its
dissolution. The difficulties, for the
time-if any of a serious nature exist
cd-were s. far reconciled as to pre-
vent any public exposure. Whether
the like good fortune attends the Pres
ident through the next six months, is
quite uncertain. That this cabinet
has sufficient inherent power to ac-
complish the work designcd--the fu-
sion Of all conflicting elements ii the
Democratic party-we do not believe.
Time, we think, will show that these
great and bitter divisions are without
remedy.

WASHINGTON, April lS.-The Cabi-
net session, yesterday, was a short one.
The consideration of our foreign rela-

The unsettled questions with England
and Central America will for sometime
occupy the attention of the Cabinet.
The Union of this morning says that
the rumors of changes in the Cabinet
are SILLY fabrications, VIGOROUSLY untrue
and got up for purposes well understood
here.n

r5~IIon. James Buchanan was con.
firmed as minister to England, on Mon.
day of last week. He was at first not
inclined to accept the appointment
but finally decided to do so, and his
nomination was sent in just at the close
of the session of the Senate. Presi-
dent Pierce has thus disposed, it would
seem, of a formidable rival for the sue.
