HovEY's MAGAZINE OF HORTICULTURE
With the December number of this work,
closes its twentieth yearly volume, having at
tanned an age, greater, as we learn from an
editorial article, than that of any other peri
odcal of the kind in this country. This, of
itself, is sufficient evidence Of the merits of
the work. 1t was The pioneer publication of
the kind in this country, and, from first to
last, has been the medium Of communication
with the public of goodly portion of the
men, most distinguished for horticultural
knowledge in the country, embracing, in its
list Of contributors, such names as those Of
Hon. John Lowell, Gen. H. A. S. Dearborn,
Robert Manning, Judge Bucl, John Prime,
A. ]. Downing, and Others.
In the time of Pomology, we esteem this,as
decidedly the best publication in the country,
especially for New England, its information
being very full, and of the most reliable char
acter. Through its columns many Of our best
varieties of fruit have been first brought to
notice and by that means become widely dis
seminated. Much, also, has been done by it
to give correct information in relation TO other
less valuable and inferior kinds, which inter-
ested parties were attempting to impose on
the acknowledgement at exorbitant
rates.
We think this Magazine ought to have
far wider circulation than it has, because we
find SO large portion of horticulturists and
fruit growers quite ignorant on very important
points, in respect to which, they could not but
be better informed if they were readers of this
work. We therefore recommend it to the
public, and, if any of our readers. who wish
to subscribe, have not the opportunity to
transmit their orders directly to the Office, we
will receive them and forward them free ofex-
pense. The price is So year, in advance.

The OCEAN LOCOMOTIVE. Mr.. ii. a. Frost
exhibited to a very respectable audience, at
the City Hall, last evening, his model of a
marine locomotive, with which lie proposes to
cross the ocean in six days, or about half the
time now occupied by the steamships, and
with degree Of safety to which they cannot
approach. lie explained its construction, and
exhibited its practical operation in a trough of
water prepared Tor the purpose. His explain
atoms appeared 10 be very satisfactory to the
audience, and whenever the operation Of his
vessel was exhibited, it drew forth rounds of
applause. Mr.. T. is very sanguine of success,
and manifests zeal which deserves it, and is
one of the Necessary elements of it. Hewishes
to obtain the necessary means 80 enable him
to reduce his plan to practice. and, for this
purpose, proposes the formation of a joint
stock company, making the value of the
shares SO small as to enable every one to be
interested in it. He will give another lee
ture, this evening, when we hope that full
audience may be present to learn the merits OF
an invention, which, if as successful as its au-
thor anticipates, will create a revolution in the
commerce of the world.

CHRISTMAS BALI.-The members of the
Turner's Gymnastic Society (German) had a
social ball in Brinley Hall. on Christmas night,
and enjoyed themselves delightfully."-. The
Young men and maidens, old folks and children
mingled in the mazes of the merry dance with
grace and agility; and, genuine good-humor,
and kindly feeling prevailed. We never see
or hear of the German citizens of Worcester
except at those kindly social reunions which
are an honor to their native simplicity, social
ity, and kindly feeling. We trust they will
live to enjoy themselves at many such happy
Christmas ietcs as that of the 25th.

SEIZURE OF SUPPOSED SLAvER.-The
schooner George II. Townsend, lying at pier
in East River, N. Y. was on Friday last seiz-
ed b, the U. S. Marshal on suspicion of being
bound on slave cruise to the coast of Africa.
He1 papers appeared to show that she was de-
signed for the Sierra Leone and Gambia
trade, but from the nature of her cargo, the
style Of fixtures, and other facts Of a more pri-
waite character, no dohbt, it is said, can be en-
tertained that she was in reality designed for
the slave trade. She is valued, cargo includ-
ed at about $4,000, and will be coniiscated
to government should the grounds of suspicion
be confirmed. She was cleared in the name
of J. A. Mochade.

ton to those which had been previously

committee chosen for the purpose. At tho
close of those interesting exercises, Mr.. Hig-
ginson was presented with an elegant copy
of the Topographic Encyclopedia in seven
volumes, which had been purchased by mem
bers ofthe Society as slight testimonial of re-
gard and esteem.

RAIL RoAp ACADEMIA distressing acci-
dent occurred at a quarter past seven o'clock,
on Tuesday morning, upon the Norwich and
Worcester Railroad, near Thompson, Conn,
which resulted in the instant death of Mr..
Stephen Woodwork, one of our mos: respect
ed citizens
The accident occurred in consequence of
the separation Of the engine and tender of the
Express freight rain-the connecting bolt
having worked loose upon the descending
grade, so that the moment the train came to
an ascending grade, it flew oat. Mr.. Wood.
worth was standing at the time, with one foot
upon the engine, aud the other upon the ten
der, and the sudden separation of the connec-
ton caused him to fall through upon tho
track, and directly across the rail. The whole
train of eighteen cars passed over his body,
killing him instantly. The fireman of the en-
CINE also fell at the same time, but fortunately
he dropped outside the rail, and escaped in
jury. The conductor, who was riding upon
the engine, only saved himself from the fate
of Mr.. Woodwork, by selling one of the hol-
ders by which the engineer and fireman are
assisted in mounting the engine, and instruct
ing the engineer to crowd on the steam, so
that the cars behind should not crush him
between the engine and tender, as he hing
suspended there, an event which must have
occurred had the engineer slackened speed.
Mr.. Woodwork was one of the Oldest en-
ployees upon the Boston and Worcester Rail-
road, having been an engineer for that corpo-
ration for nearly twenty years, and was be-
loved and esteemed by all who knew him.
He to Dayville on the previous evening,
by the boat train, for the purpose Of transact
ing some business for himself or the firm of
Belcher & Woodwork, in which he was a
partner, and not in charge of train, as has
been currently reported, and was not acting as
engineer at tie time he met his death. Mr..
W. leaves wife and two children (bsys, one
nine and the otherseyen) to mourn his I'M
timely fate.

CHRrsrMAs.-Ch Christmas day was beautiful.
The sun seemed to know that we had hap
Ply time down here; and, he came out from
behind his drapery of clouds in all his golden
splendor. The air was as soft and balmy as if
Spring had breathed it and, our city was
alive with groups of well dressed, smiling peo-
ple The sidewalks were crowded with Pc
destrians and the merry sleigh bells rung a
hundred tuneful chimes as jocund parties came
bowlingjnto town from the country, Several
religious Societies had meetings during the
day and evening; and parties convened in
several of our public halls to celebrate Christ
mas in social friendly way. Perhaps the
best commentary upon the manner in which
the day was observed, is the fact that only
one solitary individual was brought up before
the Police Court for being intoxicated.
