That RAILROAD AcCIpEHT.-Sincc on issue Of
yesterday, we have learned that besides the num-
ber killed, some forty were wounded. We think
tho number killed is exaggerated. The accident
occurred on Friday night last. some 20 miles Ee-
yond Windsor, Canada West, and from what we
can learn, it occurred through the careleSsness of
those in charge of the train. Most of those killed
were emigrants. We shall probably have full
particulars Ivy next mail.

SELF GOVERNMENT IN CHILDREN.-We know no.
thing more touching than the efforts of scf-gov-
ernment of which little children are capable,
when the best parts of their nature are growing
vigorously under the light and warmth of patcr-
nal love. How beautiful is the self control of
the little creature who STILES his sobs of p,in be-
cause his mothers plying eyes upon him in
tender sorrow or that of the babe who abstains
from play, and sits quietly on the floor, because
somebody is i'll. We have known a very young
child slip over to the cold side of the bed on a
winters night, that crown up sister might find
a warm one. We have known little girl submit
spontaneously to hours of irksome restraint and
disagrecable employment, merely because it was
right. Such wills as thesc-so strong and yet so
humble, SO patient and yet so dignilied
never impaired by fear, but fourishcd thus under
the influence of love, with its sweet cxcitcmcnts
and holy sunpOrts.

business connections, and We understand designs
making some investments in our Territory. He
tells that the country from Saint Paul to Shak-
opee is unequalled in beauty and advantage to
settlers by any which he has yet seen in America.
Next spring we may expect number of gentle
men from Rochester who design coming to Saint
Paul, including Judge Buchan, a councillor of
emincncc, and James Buchan, who will invest all
their property in Minnesota. If the emigration
here next spring is not twenty thousand, we shall
be sadly disappointed.

Gently left their masters without leave, for which

REMINIsCENcE-WREcK ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN.-
1t may be interesting at this moment of general
inquiry as to uhat shall be done, to recall the
circumstances which attended a catastrophe upon
Lake Champlan many years ago, in the burning
Of steamboat well laden with passengers, and Of
which ''Young Sherman was Captain. The fire
spread at once with terrific rapidity, when some
Of the passengers made a rush at the boats
The crew, however were either too sensible of
their duty, or knew their master too WE'LL to man
ifsst any insubOrdination. To restrain the pas
sengers, Sherman seized his pistols, and said to
them in a calm but determined manner, that che
would shoot down the first man that disObeyed
his ORDERS" This decisive course was the means
of saving all; except few who had jumped over
board. The captain and the crew were the last
to leave the vessel; and the former, and part at
least OF the latter, were saved upon floating fur
niture. They were far away from land, between
Burlington and Plattsburgh. Such are the facts,
and readers can apply them for themselves.-N.
