An Old Kentucky Gentleman.

a correspondent of the Lexington States
man sends to that paper sketch of very
remarkable man elijah Denney) residing in
the southeastern part of Pulaski county. lie
will be one hundred and eighteen years of age
on the 10th of September next, and is active
as many a man at forty. He has throughout
his long life been an early riser; works on his
farm every day, and rides to Mount Vernon
and Somerset once a week. He never drank
but one cup of coffee in his life, and that was
in the year 1S4s, and has never suffered an
hour from sickness in all bis life-the only
ailment he ever had arising from the bite of a
rattlesnake, which was in the year 1779, the
period he emigrsted to Kentucky. Mr.. Dem
ny is native of Carrituck county, North Car
DINA. He served seven years in the war Of
the Revolution, and was wounded at the
seige of Charleston, was also at the seige of
Savannah and in the battle of Eutaw Springs.
he was also present at the battles of Camden
Kings Mountain and Monks Corner. He
served under Colonies Horrey and Marion,
end was an eye witness of the sufferings and
death of Colonel Isaac Hayne, of South Caro-
lima, an early victim of the Revolution. In
height Mr.. Denny is about six feet two inches
he is very erect and walks with little difficulty.
He would be taken at any time to be man of
middle age; his usual weight is about 100 lbs,
and in his best days, as he informed me, he
had never weighed over 10 lbs. The old man
is strict member of the Baptist Church, and
rides six miles to every regular meeting of his
church.

Roman Catholic Schools.

The Freeman e Journal (Archbishop Hughes
organ) thus concludes an article on schools-it
may be under the impression, that as the Amer
lean party do not carry every thing, the hey day
Of the Archbishop is to return:
"There's good time coming, boysl
Wait little longerl"
The 'good time coming is when the Roman
Catholics can obtain from the school taxes of
all our people a certain portion for their own
priests to educate children in their own pecu-
liar way.
The Archiepiscopal Organ says, appealingly,
in reply to some Canadian taunt:
'Let the Albany Evening Journal put this potent
argument Of the Canadians alongside of its returns
Of the Census, which show the Increase of the az.
rcultural population of this State since the unlucv
and un-American State free school law" went into
operation.
"But this done, we meet our Canadian neighbors
with clean hands and with a strong heart We saw
TO them: We ,Oere the first, zee haze been he s.srnes
aud the deadlieS enemy, Of the State free ScLoOI
oppression. But we tell them that the whole State
school system Is foreign and antagonistic to the

tell them again, whatever is antagonstic TO the

II may be. Only In 1853, the Archbishop,
under the wand Of Aessrs. Weed and Seward,
came very near carrying through the State
Legislature bill, vesting in him al the Roman
Catholic Church property in the State. twill
be a sad day however for the Americans--that
day-when we must raise money to support

In exclusive Roman Catholic schools.

Terrible Railroad Accident.

Forty Wounded

There occurred yesterday another scene of Rail.
road disaster, which was accompanied by DREADFUL
loss of life and limb.
1t appears that the 10 O'Clock A. N. train from
Philadelphia proceeded as usual on the way until
they got about mile above Burlington, IN. ] J
when they discovered the train from New York
coming down at full speed. The eastward bound
train then attempted to back to sideling to let
the New York train pass, when the track was
crossed by carriage and two horses, driven by
DIR. Hannigan, of Columbus, n. j. The horses
were caught by the hindermost car, knocked down
and crushed to DEATH The Doctor was thrown out
and made very narrow escape, the carriage being
shivered to pieces. The collision caused the rear
car to be thrown off the track and dragged some
distance, breaking it up, and dragging it after the
emigrant car, which was smashed to pieces. The
other cars were forced through it. and thrown down
an embaankment on either side of the road. There
were five cars completely torn to pieces. A more
sad wreck We never witnessed on a railroad. One
of the cars was reduced to splinters. Another was
cut in twain. The major party of the passengers
in the rear cars were instantly killed or seriously
injured.
The scene that ensued battles all description
The CONSERVATION so great, that panic of hor
Tewnty.two persons were killed, and about forty
wounded most shockingly-some so badly that
recovery is almost impossible. Last night the re-
mains were carefully deposited in collins, furnished
by the authorities of Burlington. The spectacle at
The Town Hall was of the most painful character,
fifteen collins being arranged around the centre of
the room. When we left, the Coroner of the place
was about summoning jury to investigate the case.
Almost every house in Burlington contained one
or of the sufferers by this terrible catastrophe.
During the entire day this usually quiet town was
the scene of the widest excitement.
-Four Of the cars were mashed to pieces. In some
cases the mutilaton was horrible. One man had
bis arm torn off in a fearful manner. Another had
arm also torn off and thrown some distance up
the embankment, and his legs separated from his
body his heart and viscere strewn along the track
for a great distance. One or two others were
buried in the road, and others were crushed to
death between the sleepers. One nah had his
scalp taken off, another his thighs broken. Several
others had arms broken, and were facerated and
bruised in the most dreadful manner

wounded amounting altogether to about IS. The
