1t is truly appalling in taking up news
paper nowadays, to note the continual ac-
cidents on our railroads throughout the
country; and the fearful loss Of life by
which they are attended. Cannot some
measures be devised, and most strictly en-
forced, to render all who arc in charge amen
able to the laws protecting human life !
1t is subject that comes painfully home to
thousands of our fellow-men, and one in
which the whole community has the deepest
interest. Truly, we part with travelling
friends with an instructive dread that we
shall see their faces no more. The signs Of
widows and orphans, the gloom that over
shadows many a once happy homestead,
should arouse the cXertiOns Of the nation
to prevent these oft-recnrring and desOlat.
ing fatalities. Each State should enact
stringent laws for the severe punishment OF
all by whose carelcsSncss Or reckless haste
these accidents occur. . .5 ....

UNpRoFrABLE FARM1NG-No branch of
business is considered at lower ebb in
this country at present than farming. 1t
is the general impression that every one
engaged in this occupation is driving ruiz
nous business.-Aha Californian. ...
And here in Minnesota, every man en-
gagged in farming the past season has driv-
en- good business. Our crops have been
immense-the demand uninterrupted, and
our farmers have been enabled to rejoice
over wellfllcd garners. Had they double
the amount Of produce to dispose of that
they now have Oh hand, there would be no
trouble in selling it all. Surely we have
been blest the past season in basket and in
store.

:. Chips from ono Lox.-No. 2.

J The variety and favor q the fruit here,
arc beyond the descriptive powers of an or
binary mortal, enthusiast though he be and
l despair of ilnparting to my readers even
a faint idea of its luscious ana refreshing
Ct aracter.
First on the lstI place the "mangusteen,7
and for dclicacy and flavor it has no supe-
rior. 1t is in color and shape like a green
lemon, with thick rind. In the centre are
three large black stones, around which lies
the delicious substance. '.'"
Next in order, my gastric and palatial
susccptibilities induce me to rank the pomolo,
and if my photography is erroneous, think
the most refined epicurian jury would not
so pronounce my judgment in this matter.
Some of the Java species of this truly de-
lightful fruit are very large, and the quarter
section lying now before me, with its cherry
red pulp almost bursting, with its core and
ncctarean load, is fourth division of one
measuring two feet in circumference. They
are similar in appearance to the shadock
and | presume are Of the same genus, !" cit
rus decumana," but with their external re
semblance all comparison must end. Oranges
and bananas grow in great profusion, and
are very fine, and the eyes roam around the
market place, enjoying barmecide feas,
over which Pomona might have gloriel to
preside.
A "long, low, rakish" schooner is lying
in the roads, having been seized by the
Dutch government from Capt. Gibson, who
was imprisoned here at Weltcvreden under
the trashy imputation of seeking the over
throw Of the Dutch government in the In
dian Archipelago. He fortunately mad,
his escape and got away from the island. -
1t is surprising how little we know of tn
vast and beautiful islands that dot thes
calm and tranquil waters. The Dutch ar
full as jealous of American espionage as tn
Celestials of China, and they watch wit
searching gaze, the movements of all fol
eiguers while Oh shore. l hope ere long tina
Uncle Sam will turn his prying and pre-
gressive curiosity this way, and disclose som
of the vast riches of this charming qucrte
of the globe. .,.,. ..........- .

SfClttlCSS, III IL WOIu VIC NECuC i over Oh the
Garth.
At no time since the formation of this Gov
crnmcnt, has the condition Of the people, or the
affairs of Government been in a more healthy
condition.
Our National Treasury is full to overflow
ing, and there is an excess of something be.
tween twenty-five and thirty millions of dollars
on hand. 49,.
Our National Debt is being paid as fast as
it becomes due, and the Secretary of the Urea.
sury is reaching out his hand and calling on
bond-holders to bring in their claims tor pay.
mcnt, long before due.
More than three millions of the Public Debt
have been paid off within short time, be.
sides the ten millions for the purchase of land
and the settlement of treaty claims with Mex
| leo.
The Etarif has not been increased nor the
taxes raised, yet we have more than enough,
for all national wants. 50
AS soon as our Public Debt is paid, the tar
if must again be lessened, and the taxes there
by reduced.
| We are at present at peace with all nations,
and our friendship is courtcd by all the powers
of the world.
Our foreign and diplomatic intercourse is of
the most gratifying character, and our COM
merce, trade and navigation were never so en-
tcnsive and prosperous.
Our flag is respected and honored wherever
it is carried by our navy, or by our CONNER
cial marine, and new and vast donlinors have
been opened to the energy and enterprise of our
cOuntrymcn.
In every port, and on every sea, the title of
American citizen " is u passport of protec-
ton, and proud name for him who bears
it,. 80 p
Our gallant little army is the wonder and
admiration of all nations, and its prowcss is
acknowledged as beyond all comparison with
the armies OF other countries.
1t performed more hard service, fought more
severe battles, achieved more splendid victo-
ries, conquered more people and more terrific

1t now, with about 5000 men, governs more
territory. and holds in subjugation more saw
age hordes than was ever kept down by so
small force.
Our manufactures are thriving and success
fully competing with all foreign opposition.
and their owners and managers are reaping
rich harvests of wealth, Notwithstanding the
prophecies that low tariff aid free trade would
ruin them. t'E Do )<t 3
Our agricultural interests, in growing stock,
hemp, tobacco, and cotton, are in good condi.
ton, and no man in the community is better
repaid for his labor than the farmer and plan-
| ter. s--
AS the general welfare and happiness of the
people is the great object and care of all good
governments, should we not feel that our gov
erment has done all that justly comes within
its power and jurisdiction to produce these
beneficial results!

Gov. MEpII1, of Ohio, has issued a procla-

FRENCH INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION OF 1856
The French understand better than almost any
other people the organization of great public
demonstrations. What they do in this way is
done perfectly, and the secret of their success
is that it is always done in time. We perceive
by circular from the Secretary General OF
the Imperial Commission, that all the prelimi-
nary steps are already being taken to arrive at
speculative estimate of the probable elements
of the exhibition, and of the provision that it
will be necessary to make for them. The cir
cular which is addressed to the committees Of
the different departments, calls upon them to
ascertain from the persons intending to send in
machinery, from their respective districts, il
they intend to exhibit their models in activity,
and if so, the exact space, motive power OF
quantity of water they will require. 1t may,
perhaps, be useful to American exhibitors to
know that the pressure Of steam employed will
be FIVE atmospheres that The fail of water for
by aalic engines will be three metres, and the
pressure of water from ten to fifteen metres.
1t is desirable that wheels and other hydraulic
machines should be proportional to the fall Of
three metres.

We have been favored with several letters
in defence of the Union Ferry Company,
signed ." One Of the Managers which, In &C.
cordance with our invariable rule as regards
anonymous Communications, we are compelled
to decline inserting in our columns. AS gen.
eral principle we hold that the man who il
afraid or ashamed Of endorsing with his name
the truth Of the statements which he wishes to
set before the public. is influenced by motives
that render their accuracy questionable, and
We will not, therefore, be parties to their circula-
ton. Let the managers Of the Union Ferry
Company come forward collectively, in that
bold and manly manner which indicates the
consciousness Of Just cause, and publish such
an explanation Of their affairs as vial satisfy
the public that they are driven to their present
measures BY necessity alone, and they may rest
assured that instead Of the odinn which they
have brought upon themselves by the equivocal
nature Of their statements, and the non-fulfll
ment Of the new conditions which they have
imposed upon their customers, they will meet
with support and sympathy from every right
minded man. AS regards ourselves, We shall
in such Il case be but too happy to afford them
every facility in our power to set themselves
right with the public. But it must be done in
manner that will leave no grounds for the
suspicion Of a desire to shirk the responsible
lily Of statements that ore liable to be
controverted by subsequent disclosures. The
Course pursued by Individual members Of
the board, in addressing anonymous commu-
nications to the newspapers, instead of coming
out in their collective capacity with full, ho-
nest, aDd firm exposition Of the facts, appears
to warrant this construction. It certainly looks
as n they had weak case and shrAnk from its
discussion.
In the meanwhile, We are inundated with
Communications from the parties whose into
