How TO PROVE A LovER.-In order to
try your lovers affection for you, take an
opportunity Of dancing some evening con-

flirting, whilst, in the meantime, you snub

destroy his regard for you. he loves you sin

Fatal Accident on the Madison Rail-
rOad-TEgO Men Killed.
We are indebted to Mr.. Hough for the fol-
lowing item:
On Monday in the forenoon, when Mr.
Samuel Ider, was passing down the plain at
Madison, with locomotive, it became un-
manageable and went down at a frightfui
speed. A freight train had just started up
and passed one Of the switches below, but
the engineer seeing the locomotive at the
top coming at an unusual speed, and know
ing that Mr.. Id.er was skillful engineer,
Immediately concluded that something was
wrong, and instantly reversed his engine
aud endeavored TO pass off on one of the
switches, but only succeeded in getting the
freight cars turned off of the main track,
when the descending locomotive overlook
them, and considerable conclusion en-.
sued. The engineer, Mr.. Idler, after he
found that he could not manage his engine,
became frightened and jumped of, and in
the fail struck his head against rail and
was instantly killed. a fireman by the
name of Bazeet, who remained on the loco
motive was killed, and a Mr.. Robinson was
badly hurt. We have not learned the ex-
/ tent of the damages done to the two locomo-
/ tiyes.-T T. Il. Er.

FATAL AFFRAE.-We learn that on Sat
urday a difficulty occurred between Geo.
Secrest, Marshal Of the town of Greencastle,
and DR.. Stockton, a respectable ply sician
of the same place, which led to an ARRAY, in
which the latter was killed and the former
seriously though not fatally injured. The
story as related to US is briefly this. A boy
attending to the Drug Store of brother Of
DR.. Stockton's, in row with a son of DR.
Secrest, threw weight at the latter, we
believe injufng him somewhat, for which
Mr.. Secrest arrested him and had him fined
Some little time after, the DR.. encountering
Mr. Secrest in a store, used some severe
language about the affair, and quarrel en-
sued. The Doctor, as we were told, struck
Mr.. Secrest one or two violent blows on the
head with a cane, when the latter drew a
large knife and stabbed the Doctor in the
breast. inficting mortal wound. He linger-
ed some hours, but was dead when the train
passed Greencastle yesterday morning. Mr.
Secrest it was thought for while was also
fatally injured, but he was reported yesterday
to be in fair way of recovery. This is a
most depiorable affair, both being men OF
good character and standing. and we believe,
both men of families. So far as we can now
remember it is the first occurrence of the
kind for some years. State Jour.

school examination.

School Examination.
On Wednesday afternoon was present
at the examination of some OF the classes of
Dir. Knights school, and witnessed with
pride and pleasure the proficiency Of the pu-
pills.
Mr.. Knights mode of examination is Sc
simple and yet SO efficient, that it ELECTS
fully what the pupil may know OF the branch
in which he is examined. The fen parents
who witnessed the proficiency OF the pupils,
doubtless felt rejoiced at their attachments,
and under many obligations TO the attentive
and energetic trustees and to the efficient and
well qualified teachers. Our citizens are in
debted, believe, to Dir. knight chiefly, for
the introduction of the present eminently
practical mode of imparting instruction
adopted in our common schools.
The ready answer Of the pupil to the ques-
tion proposed, and his thorough acquaintance
with the principles which should be applied
indicated clearly that the first importance
should be attached to this method of instruc.
ton. The perfect order the pupils observed
and the feeling regard which their Cheerful
eyes expressed for each other and the teach
ers. showed that their moral culture had no
been neglected.
Our common schools should be the pride
and pleasure of our citizens. The ample
and commodious brick edifce for cur com
mon schools will have been completed before
the beginning of the Fall sessions. Thh
will greatly promote the comfort of the Pu
pills and teachers, and afford increased facili
ties for impartipg instruction.
Parents, why do you not give the Trustee
and Teachers the cheering encouragement
of the interest you feel in the education 0
your children by frequent visits to thei
schools and examinations!
Why make by your absence your appreci
alton of their efforts a matter of inference
They desire your appreciation. They won
feel they received it, were your visits FIRE
quent.
The cheering aspect of parents presenc
and their smiles of approval. would stimulat
the pupils with laudable ambition for pro
fciency in attainments and excellence i
acquire ments. c..

Mcsr SINeULAR.-We have published an
account of the death Of man named North,
at Rife Factory in Hartford, caused by a
clipping of steel which struck the man in
the side, causing death in few minutes
From the Hartford Courant we gain the fol-
lowing, as the result of the Coronet's investi-
CATION:
A post-mortem examination of the man
named North, accidentally killed at Sharpe's
Rife Factory, showed that the fragment of
steel was one and an eighth inches in length,
and one line in its greatest breadth, tapering
at each end to point, and half line at It's
greatest thickness. 1t was driven forward,
through three layers of linen and one OF
flannel, cutting but one thread of this last
then through an inch of flesh, passing be-
tween the second and third ribs, then through
an inch Of lung lying nearly over the heart
It then penetrated the pericardium, grazed
the left auricle, and perforated the aorta be-
hind the heart, and was found lying loose in
this great blood vessel, six or eight inches
from the wound in the skin.

The Indiana Delegates to the Amera
lean National Convention.

The Indiana Delegates to the Amer
lean National Convention.
There appears to be very general ex-
preston of disaPprobation gushing forth spon-
taneously from the conservative press of
Indiana, respecting the course pursued by
the Indiana delegation at Philadelphia. We
are pleased to see that their conduct in fol-
lowing the "bolting" lead of a few northern
fanatics, is being justly rebuked by the lead
ing American papers of the State. Dele
gates were sent to this convention from
every State in the Union, under either ex-
pressed or implied instructions to frame,
adopt and promulgate to the world national
and not a sectional platform. A platform
which, while it would avow and embrace the
cardinal principles of the great American
party, would eschew everything of Sec
tional nature which has hitherto distracted
and rendered impotent for good the old
political organizations.
The necessity out of which the American
party sprung into existence, had its origin
in the fruitless experiments of too often az
tempting to harmonic dscordant elements
into a compact or bond of union, upon which
all might unite, and in crowding platforms
with questions and measures instead OF prin-
ciples and patriotic faith. With the light OF
the experience of the past before them, and
the abiding faith which the people had re-
posed in their representatives that they
would make platform adequate to the
wants of the American people, or at least
commit no harm in the attempt, leaves the
''boIting" delegates without sufficient ground
Of justification in returning to their disap-
pointed constituents.
The people of the Union expected, and had
Alright to expect tina. compact would be
formed, to which every member Of the Amer.
lean party could heartily subscribe, or thai
no platform at all would be adopted.
The platform which o very respectable
majority coacurred'in, we insist should have
Seent the platform of the convention and OIL
the party, without "bolting" or one-idea
protests. We approve the platform as whole
for the great preponderence of good we find
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1855-06-29

in it, and we can ever pardon sincere differ
ence of opinion even in our delegates, but
must as sincerely regard their manner of ex-
pressing their disapprobation of the platform
at this particular juncture as exceedingly
unwise aud fraught with evils which might
have been easily averted. We trust that
the sober second thought of the protesting
delegates will lead them to the more sensible
conclusion that there is less Of real error in
the National platform, and in giving i! a cor.
dial support than in ignoring it.

Autograph dispatch to this paper Wednes-
day stated that Rice and Driscoh bad been
sentenced at Lafayette to be hung the l4.h

Mrs. Robinson has been sentenced to the
same penalty at New York for the murder Of
her husband.

Jas. Costello, Dan Callighan, John Shields

days ago at New Orleans, to be hung at such
time as the Governor might designate. for
murder.

ever SO many sentences of death in this coun-
try, as thus far in this year-and yet how
many murderers have entirely or partially es-
capped the vengeance of the law!
