Stage Coach Accident.

A correspondent of the Morning News,
writing from the Madison under date of Jan.
9Th, gives the particulars of serious acct
dent, by the upsetting of Stage Coach, be-
tween Stoughton and Madison, Thursday eve
ming, whereby Mr.. BuTTERF1ELD, of Racine,
had his leg broken and was otherwise badly
injured, and Mr.. CARNEY of this city was Sc
verely hurt The team, it appears was left
standing in the road by the driver, who went
back short distance to get water for the hor-
ses. The horses started on run, and all of
the passengers tprang from the coach, except
Mr.. Garvey. The horses ran about one mile,
struck stump, capsized the coach, smashing
it up. Mr.. Garvey remained insensible for
above 10 minutes, but to the utter astonish-
ment of all, he was alive, without bone save
one rib, broken.
At the last accounts Mr.. CARNEY was rap
idly recovering from the effects of the acct
dent.

Rarstow and the Balance,

Some strange looking @nondescript sheet
iron combinations have been added to the
chimncys of the Capitol House. At a little
distance they resemble the specimens of an
cient armor on exhibition at the Crystal Pal
ace. A laughable incident occurred yesterday
in connection with them. A somewhat I'M
sophisticated youth from the country who
had read considerable abont 'Barstow and the
balance" during the late campaign, and had
formed a rather curious, but vivid idea ofthe
appearance of those individuals, was coming
into town, and of course, on a sharp look-o
for 'the elephant" Just before reaching the
corner of the Capital Park, the aforesaid con-
limitations attracted his notice, and he was
heard to exclaim; "Hello. darn my skin, eff
there amt Barstow and the balance on 'em |
guess, npon to the top of ofthat airtall house .
Blazes amt they a-goin' it?-Efthey smoke

Snow Storm at the East.

A terrible snow storm occurred in the Eas-
tern States on the goth ult, which in some
instances entirely INSTRUCTED the passage of
the cars. In the streets of Boston, the snow
drifted to the depth of five feet The express
train which left Boston at o'clock had two
engines, but only reached Pennington, "a
miles, at l P. NJ. There it got an ad dition-
al engine, and proceeded mile and half
further, at which point it stuck fast in big
snow drift and could get neither forward nor
backward. And here the train, with over
so passengers, nine of whom were ladies, was
obliged to remain from l P. NJ. on Thursday
till A. NJ. en- Friday--20 full hours. At
the hour mentioned on Friday morning, the
train was dug out by an extra locomotive and
Irish force, and arrived at Springfield that af-
ternoon, having been over 81 hours from Bos-
ton to Springfield. East of Worcester the
snow is piled up in high drifts, in come pla-
ces not less than ten feet deep. In many pla-
ces in North Chelsea, the snow is full twenty
feet for a distance Of 40 rods. A train of
three locomotives left Providence forthe Ston-
ington depot in the morning of that day, and
got back in the evening, having accomplished
during the day .fve miles. The snow was
level with the top of the cars, in several pla-
ces, for the distance of a quarter of mile.
That down East" must be an awful place
Here on the tenth day of January we worked all
afternoon and eveSing at type setting and dstrib-
uting in Office, without any fire, and without

AN IMPRovEMENT.-We notice that upon
the Michigan Central Railroad, an improved
method of heating the cars is being introdu-
ced, which, simple though it be, is far supe-
rior to any other arrangements We have yet
seen for the purpose. The two middle seat,
on each side of the passage-wav have been
removed, and the stove is placed in the centre
of the space so obtained. This allows a lar
ger stove than those commonly made use of
which is surrounded by suitable screen, and
the seats removed are placed parallel to the
sides of the car. In addition. thick mating
has been laid on the floor throughout. We
have not seen lately more successful attempts
to remedy the discomforts of winter railway

Uniform Railroad Time.

Professor Alexander Hall, of Loydsville
Ohio, has recently exhibited at New York, a
newly invented clock which is designed to
produce uniform time at all the stations with
which it is conueeted.-Tke regular clock is
provided with magnet, and is moved by a
magnetic battery; and the hands of all clocks
connected with this by means of wires run
ming through them, would be be moved pre-
cisely as the hands of the regulating clock.
The expense of putting up line of such
clocks, is said TO be about five dollars for each
clock; and for the wires, the same as for tele-
graphic wires.

The Great Snow Storms,

The "oldest inhabitants" will be obliged to
place his finger long on the side of his nose
in close reflection, before he is able to tell the
like of last week. Monday the earth was ma
ked; Saturday four feet of snow rested on it;
streets and roads were blocked up, as they
rarely are in February-mails failed, aud all
business was at stand. Tuesday was re.
markable day, but Thursday the storm return,
ed with increased fury and Saturday we had
another batch. Considerable damage was
done along the coast.-Portland Inquirer.

Cuba Purchased,

The Washington correspondent ofthc Jour
nal Of Commerce, after reading the briefs in
the case of Choteau VS.. Mollony, the Dubuque
claim, says:
"Some singular historical "reminiscences
have been brought up by this case, viz, the
history of Lord Selkirk's settlement of the
Red River of the North; the intrigues of the
last of the French Governors of Louisiana to
create a revolution in the west against the Z.
S.; and the fact also that Cuba was part OF
Louisiana, whose dominion was ceded by
Spain to France, and that, therefore, we bought
Cuba without knowing it, when We purchas
ed Louisiana"

THE TELEGRAPH.
Kenosha Fire Department.


The annual meeting of this Department
to elect officers for the ensuing year, and
transact other business. was held in the Court
House, Monday evening last
The officers elected, are-F. s. LOWELL,
President; N. sTEBBINS, Vice President;
J. E. HENRY, Treasurer; G. L. LEE, Sec
rotary; JOSHUA DAVIES, Chief Engineer,
]. L. V. YATES, First Assistant, and H. X.
ELKINS, Second Assistant.
After the election of officers, remarks we're
made in regard to the present condition of
this important branch of the public service,
and the necessity of adopting immediate mea-
sures for an increase of the manual force of
the department, and to place it generally in
a condition of completeness and efficiency,
such as due regard to the common interest
and security requires that it should be.
A committee was appointed to prepare
report stating the condition and wants of the
department-said report, when prepared, to
be presented, we believe, to the Common
Council of tie City.
What we have above given embodies the
general action of the meeting
As to the officers chosen, the remark is
fair one, that they are just the men to Sc
cure the continued efficiency and vitality of
the department: so far, at least, as this can be
done 10y any official or individual effort and
action of theirs. And in regard to the or
ganization, as a whole, the remark is also APP
propriate, that in the intelligence, spirit, ac-
tiyity, and ability to execute, of its members,
there is no similar organization in the coun-
try of equal size superior to it. Experience
has demonstrated this fact here and it is the
common remark of thoseelscwhore, who have
had opportunity to observe and are compe-
tent to Judge, But while our firemen are al
ways fully up to the mark in the discharge
ofyoluntarily assumed duties, the public must
not forget the obligations to be discharged on
its part. From the smallness Of the number
Of citizens, not connected with the organiza-
ton, present at the annual meeting, it is fair
to infer that there is not that degree of gen
eral interest felt in the condition and welfare
Of the department, that the common interest
demands. And it cannot be expected, ifthose
most deeply interested among us, long fail to
give any evidence of sympathy or concern in
this regard, that the esprit dw corps, which
is so necessary to efficiency, and which has
made our firemen the boast and pride of the
city, can be maintained. The position of
tiremcn and their claims upon the public must
be better understood and appreciated, and the
wants of the depmtmen as they are made
manifest, must be met promptly and in a lib
eral spirit by our city authorities and citizens.
as far as they can be. This is the only way
to ensure that completeness of efficiency which
all must consider desirable and important
and to sustain our department in the high
position of usefulness it has heretofore main
tanned, and which, without abatement, its
members are DESTROYS and determined shall
hereafter be maintained.
