RAILROAD STATION HOUSE AT PITTsFIELD
BURNED.-'rhe passenger station building of
the Western Railroad, at Pittsfeld, was de-
stroyed by fire, on Wednesday afternoon,
originating probably, from the sparks of To-
connective. During the progresG of the flames,
an explosion occurred, probably from CAM
phene or gunpowder-th throwing off the south
side of the building, and endangering several
lives. No serious accident, however, occur
red. The bridge attached to the station, and
crossing the track on North street, was also
nearly demolished.
The American House, owned by Mrs. P. L.
Hall, and kept by Messrs. button & Dun
ming, also took fire from the burning station,
but was saved in very damaged condition.
Mr.. Hall was insured $500 in the Manu-
facturers' Insurance Company, Boston, and
$1,000 in the Berkshire Mutual at Pittsfeld.
The lessees have policy of $1,000 from the
Etna Insurance Company of Hartford their

as Allen, opposite the station, which was inn
mediately extinguished.

SINGULAR CAsE.-About months ago, Mr..
William Codding, brakeman on the Worces-
ter and Providence Railroad, and residing at
No. Is Goddard street, of this city, received a
most serious injury while in tie prosecution
of his business, which, at the time, was sup
posed to be fatal. When the train on which
he was employed was on its passage to Provi-
dence from this city, Mr.. c. was accidentally
struck in such manner as to destroy all feel
ing and strength in his body below the small
of the back After the accident Mr.. G. was
carried to Providence where the best physi-
clans were called to see him, and who pro-
nounced him hopelessly and incurably injur-
ed. When he was brought to this city sever
al of our physicians also, pronounced his case
utterly hopeless. He could not move his legs
or body ard except in the pectoral region and
superior parts, he had no sensation whatever
1t seemed as if Mr.. G. was to be left to linger
out weary existence without hope of recov-
cry. DR.. L. B. Nichols of this city however,
did not despair of Mr.. Coddings ultimate re-
covery. He took him under his charge and
by close attention to him and the skillful ad-
ministration of medicine, has now the gratif-
cation of seeing Mr.. Codding able to sit up
and move his limbs. His limbs are restored to
feeling and his general health is in the most
gratifying state. Mr.. C. seems likely, soon,
to be able to walk about again.

A MODEL BANKING SYsTEM.-A letter states
that of the banks of Indiana, {" there are two
or three, the entire body corporates of which
are carried in the hats of the owners" Some
banks are situated in inaccessible parts of the
State; where it will require weeks journey
on horseback to reach them, and therefore the
notes cannot be protested. These banks fig
ure with large capitals, in the statement pub
Gshed day or two since. 1t is probable the
capitals thus stated are not in existence, as
the inhabitants of these inaccessible paris of
the State do not get many discounts. Still
their notes are sown broadcast over many of
the Western States, initiating prices of almost
everything to the highest pitch; then falling
almost worthless upon the hands of their de-
luded holders, and finally bought up at
heavy discount by the very spectators who
originally issued them, and received dollar for
dollar. Verify. this Indiana free banking sys-
TEN may well be termed " free swindling."

A WONDERFUL SHIP NOW BUILDING

"A WONDERFUL ship NOW BUILDING.-A
London (England) letter writer says
ga very interesting paper was read recent
ly, by Mr.. Scott Russell, on the science of
ship building. During the course of his lee
ture he referred to the vessel he is now build
ing. He appears confident that when COM
pleted she will accomplish the voyage to Aus
tralia and back in 60 days. Her speed will be
no less than "a miles an hour, and if kept up
would enable emigrants to proceed from Gal
way to Halifax in three days.
The ship will carry all her Goals required for
the voyage, and will have accommodations for
go first class passengers and 1000 second
class. The fares, if she had her complement
on such voyage as that to Australia, would
amount to 5000, 900! Mr.. Russell says that
to obtain "a miles an hour, 400 feet of length
is required, but this vessel will be 675 in
length. Some progress has been made in her
building. She will be ready for sea in about
II months from this time.''

PAwrucKET ACCIDENT The name of the
boy who was killed by the caving in of the
well on Wednesday at Pawtucket, was Jere-

alive was badly injured, but it is supposed not
fatally. The lifeless body of man named
Armstrong had also been recovered, and Mr.
George Patten, contractor, of Providence, was
the only one remaining in the well. He was

FIREAiEN's PARADE-The Annual Muster
ofthe Firemen of this city took place at New
Worcester on Thursday 9th inst. The day
was cool, clear and admirably propitious. Our
fire engine companies, and hook and ladder
companies, formed into line about 9 o'clock,
A. NJ, and marched to New Worcester where
the exercises of the day were to take place.
One novelty in the parade was the new en-
CINE No. S, manufactured by Mr.. Roberts of
Hartford, Ct. and costing the sum of $l,l40.
The machine is novel in its construction and
has much more simple appearance than those
in general use. The length of the platform is
10 feet and the extreme height of the air
chamber is feet. The machine has double
cylinders each 10 IA inches in diameter. The
air chamber which is elevated IL feet above
the platform, is plain structure, which We
understand, is yet to be handsomely orna-
mented.
When they arrived at New Worcester the
Companies formed into line and played from
an aggregate of 2150 feet of hose. Charles
Hersey, Clerk of the Department, directed the
arrangements at this part of the proceedings.
The several companies then proceeded to
the lake and successfully played through 250
feet of hose each. The strength of the wind
prevented the continuity of the stream of wa
ter and somewhat marred the beauty of the
playing. Tho contest finally lay between
companies and 5, each playing into the 9TH
er's tub and changing position. The COM
panies were dismissed for dinner, and the
Board of Engineers proceeded, by invitation,
to the residence of Charles Hersey where an
excellent dinner was provided for them.
In the afternoon, after the companies had
again paraded, Engine Co. No. gave No. S
an invitation to play. Number washed
Their. on the first trial. On the second trial
No. 5 gained II IL inches in the tub.
The fremen then marched to the School
House, when the Hose Companies played
Curtis's force pump, which operated admira-
bly,.
The procession then returned to the city,
and marched through the streets, finally sep
arating in front of the Old South Meeting
House.
