ANOTHER RAILROAD SMASH IN THE sNoRTH--
Fourteen Persons Wounded,--F From the New
York Times of the I'd, we extract the following
account of recent railroad accident: y5,5 d i
Another railroad catastrophe, clearly trace
able to criminal negligence on the part of
those entrusted with keeping the road in proper
repair, occurred on the New Haven railroad,
Just above its junction with the Harlem road,
near Williamsbridgc, on saturday night last
1t appears that as the Boston express train
was passing the spot above mentioned, the last
car OF the five On the train jolted off the track
and swung around, tearing up the rails and In
| juring the track in its course. Unfortunately
| q gully occurs in the road near the Junction,
and into this the last car turned over, and in
doing SO severely wounded the passengers, who
were not only hurled against each other and
| ag gainst the benches, but were also dashed with
| much violence on the side of the Car. The sud-
| den turn of the last car wrenehed the coupling
| in such manner that it broke, and this Cir
eumstance saved the rest Of the train from be-
| ing torn off, which would perhaps have mangled
and killed a hundred persons. @.g s
The engineer was not made acquainted with
| the accident Immediately, and ran a quarter OF
a mile before he was notified to back the train
to succor the sufferers. A. Oakley Hall, Esq
q (the District Attorney who WAS in the train,
conductor Bausch, DR.. 0rdrenaux and other
passengers, lmmeu1ately pnsleu themselves W
clear the track and relieve the sufferers Il
was found that though many Of them were se-
yerely cut about the face from the broken gloss,
only one or two were dangerously injured. Out

ceiyed contusions. a7- -

Mr. G. with my hands, l soon extricated him
from his position, and dragged him from
beneath the heavy tree. Mons. GODDARD
and Messrs. Latham and Hoal then came
up:
Mons G. had his lip badly cut, and the
flesh lacerated on one of his limbs; COL
Latham an ankle sprained, head, shoulders
aud body generally bruised; Mr.. Hoal his
breast broken in, three ribs broken, and
otherwise badly bruised; Mr.. Crippen his
head and neck "skewed," and generally
scratched and bruised l was bruised
somewhat but not materially injured. The
rain continued TO pour downin sheets when
it was agreed that Col. Latham and J should

each other, and after perambulation of
three miles through brush, mud, &c, we
found the residence of Mr.. Geo. E. Smith,
who gathered together severel Of the neigh
boring farmers, and went with our party to
the relief of those mostly injured. The only
way Of finding the remainder of our party
was by screaming at the top our voices, and
receiving from them similar response.
At nine O'Clock we were comfortably
seated in Mr.. Smiths pleasant home, in
in front Of large blazing FIRE. Every at
ientiOn was given US by Mr.. Smith and Ia
dies, and the neighbors Drs. Adams and
Dilly. Of Waynesville, who had been sent
for, soon arrived, and the Messrs. Crippen
and Hoal were promptly attended to. We
were informed that our landing place was
east of the Miami river, one fourth OF a mile
south of Caesars Creek and about three
miles south of WaynesviIle, or about fifty
one miles east of Cincinnati. We remained
with Mr.. Smith until morning, when four

A. P. Cole, the clever conductor on the
little Miami Railway. We arrived safely in
Cincinnati, all of US having the appearance
of just getting off "bender."

did not think it best to move him. His

ReadinR in Railroad Cars.

The statements of the injurious effect up
on The eyes, of the prevalent American hab-
it of reading in railroad cars while in motion
have excited a general interest. Among
the suggestions of methods to obviate the
evil, while retaining the luxury of the indul-
gence, we 6nd the following in the Newark
Advertiser:
"a friend who spends some time in rail
road travelling. observed that the motion
had tendency TO intermingle the lines,
Wills: reading, in such manner as to cause
pain to the eye; it suggested itself to him
tina; ifthis intermingling could be prevented
it would afford the the desired relief This
he remedied by using blank card laid on
the column he was reading, and gradually
passing down as be read, not permitting
more than one line to appear above the card
at once. Upon making the trial / was sur
prised to find the effect so apparent A
blank card of green color would be more
agreeable to The eye, and would answer the
purpose admirably. The paper must be
folded the width of one column, which will
faculate the passing of the card by the
thumb, the fingers grasping the paper; the
paper can then be moved or steaded with
the left hand"

ES On the reception of intelligence
from Columbus, on Thursday P. NJ, the
Republicans of Fremont determined on
having a rejoicing over the election Of the
whole State ticket. An illumination and
;orchlight procession was determined on,
and it was indeed splendid affair. Several
speeches were made; after which an Oys-
ter supper was served up BY Ira SMITH,
of the Fremont House. The company
broke up about IL O'Clock. II was orderly
and well conducted, no drukenness or riot
ing during tie night As the procession
started, an efigy, unknown TO any but the
person making it, appeared in the process
sion, which the Democrat says was Gov.
MED1LL. 1t was not intended for any such
representation, but with great propriety
might be applied to some one nearer home.
We were sorry 10 see il, and regret that it
was done, but we cannot say that it was
not deserved.

nish your committee with full and detailed
statement of the mode of tillage, which
should include, nature of soil, rotation of
crops, depth of blowing. kind and amount
of manure used, number and kind Of do.
mesIic animals kept and their breeds, num-
Der and kinds OF fruit trees. DC, and last,
though no. least. correct account of re-
ceIPts and expenditures. and the amount Of
profit derived or expected to be derived
therefrom.
The great object of the law appears to
be to encourage profitable tillage. improve
ments and manufactures, and your com
mittee have come to the conclusion that
under the direction of the law they would
not be authorized to award a premium TO q
farm, however high the state of cultivation
may be. and accompanied with the state
ment and account as above stated, unless
the account shall show coueIusiyely a
reasonable profit on the investment. Your
committee further state that they deem a
similar statement and account necessary to
entitle an orchard TO premium, as that
required for farm. To entitle farm to
premium, your committee would require
plan Of the same, with statement showing
the uses to which each part is assigned,
and the advantages to be derived from is
peculiar construction.
When your committee made their view
Of the entries, they were not aware Of all
the requirements Of the Law, and did not
ask, and have not received the required
statement and account from any of the
competitors, and it is probable that The
competitors are not aware of the provisions
of the law in relation thereto. Such being
the case, We have awarded no premiums.
Your committee would most respectfully
suggesttO the directors tie propriery of in
forming all competitors on farms and i'm
proved modes of tillage, Of the requirements
in such cases.
Your committee further suggest that if
the present competitors will, without un-
reasonable delay, furnish the committee
with the statement and account as above,
that they will again meet and reconsider
this report.
In conclusion, your committee viii re-
mark that several of the farms submitted to
their inspection are very excellent, and with
a little more taste displayed in fixing them
up, the very look at them would designate
then. as model farms.

The election passed off very quietly
The result was different from what we had
anticipated. The Republicans. although
the strongest from $50 10 200 votes have
been defeated. In the townships of York,
Green Greek and Townsend where We
have to-day majority of $50, We got but

their own strength. and thus they we're
defeated. The entire democratic ticket is
elected. Medill's majority is but 1l7.-

Very Dutch.

Two old Dutch neighbors in Pennsylva-
mia were proVerbly steady, stupid and hon
est and they had carried on their transac-
tions with their neighbors and each other
for years on the system Of ready pay in cash
or barter, but at last hard times came, and
they we're obliged TO resort 10 keeping ac-
counts. a
One day they met for settlement, and af-
ter much bard labor and figuring, it was ap
parent that Hauns owed YaWk1p twenty
dollars.
well, Yawkub how musht we settle him
now? Psb got no monish.'
'Yaw, yaw, never mind dat, we can settle
him nit notice, said Yawkub. who prided
himself on doing business at the store.
'Oh, yaw, nit notish. Well. den, yon
writes de notish.'
Dat ish not right said Yswkub, 'yon
owes me de monisb, you writes the uotisb
| signs him--dat ish de way
So Hams set about it, and produced the
following:
l Westmoreland kounty owsh Yawkub
dwenty dollars For settle Up when hash
90 monish to pay him.
Signed Yawkub.
Then arose an unforeseen difficulty, which
of the two ought to keep the note.
1t was finally decided that Hauns should
keep it-for how else should he know how
much to pay Yakub?
In due time, when Hauns, the deblor, got
the money, he paid up, and thus raised an
other puzzIng question, and ended in the
conclusion that Yawkub must take the note
in his keeping, so that he would know that,
EIauns had paid the money.
