says

whom the Juries of Inquest charge with hav-
ing caused the terrible accident on Tuesday
by 'careessness,' yesterday gave bail in the
sum of $4,000, to answer any charge that
may be preferred ginst him. In addition,
the superintendent, Mr. Winchester, yester-
day suspended Mr.. Scott from service Mr..
John Scott, his brother, and conductor of the
excursion train, we learned last evening was
not expected to survive. Much fever had
supervened, and the extent of his wounds and
fractures is such that he cannot bear up. His
brother William is by his side, deeply con.
cerned for him. Joseph Bell, laborcr, who
was severely bruised about the shoulder, and
conveyed to the Inirmary, is very bad and
but slight hopes are entertained of his re-
cOvery. All the rest are coming on better
than was anticipated by the physicians Mr..
LETTERS was considered as rather improving
and beyond danger. Thomas Henry, on
CRANKY street, is in very critical condition,
and his recovery is doubtful. Mr.. Selliman,
OF St Paul's street. it is gratifying TO state,
continues to improve, and last night was sup
posed by DR.. BuckIer to be much better. His
sutferings, however, are very considerable,
which he bears with fortitude and patience.
"Since the above was in type, we have
learned of the death of Isaac Johnson, the
Janitor Of the Central Male High School. He
deceased about four o'clock this morning.
This, we think, makes thirty.five deaths up to

Mr.. Editor Having had the pleasure of
visiting n Female School which is now being
taught by Mrs. Humphreys, deem it Just to
say that she is successful in imparting know-
edge to a very large number of interesting
girls. With the facilities which she furnish
es all her students, if they do not acquire
scientific knowledge, they must be either
censurably indolent or ptiably stupid, of
which character think she has not one.

A FAST CoUPLE.-The Cincinnati Com
mercial furnishes the following account of the
dOings of fast couple recently yOked in that
city:
A gentleman of the city, of mature age, and
verging perhaps toward the downhill of life,
who, not long since, took n maiden whom he
loved to be his wife, found himself, before
the honeymoon was fairly over, promoted TO
the honor of parent. Never having suppos-
ed himself 10 belong to the order of "fast
men," it needs not the penetration of proph-
ct to discover, that his delight at an event so
propitious, was vastly exceeded by his aston
ishment. Gently as her delicate situation
would permit, he insinuated his perpexties
to his bride, and sought from her lips the So
luton of a phenomenon so unusual in the
annals of paternity. His Indignation became
as boundless as his admiration had been,
when he was informed by the lady, that she
had, certain canonical number of months
previous, been the victim Of al atrocious and
felonious act of ravishment; of which this sue
cident" was the natural consequence.
Determined TO permit not so serious an in
fraction of the statutes in such case made and
provided 10 60 unpublished, complaint was
made before Esquire Rowkamp, and war
rant issued for the offender, who, it appears,
had not fled to escape the consequences of
his crime. The examination will take place
on Monday, and the public confidence in the
legal profuadty of his honor, warrants the
conviction that justice will be done, though
the pillars of the armament give way.
