thoughts descriptive of our flying Visit
to Old Jefferson.
Hearing that our Methodist Brethren
were holding Bush Meeting IN The
neighborhood where we spent our early
school-boy days, we speedily concluded
to attend and meet again our boylsh com
panions and schoolmates in the SHADY
GrOUe, Gods first temple. Oh how
pleasant it is for one, who has long been
absent from the scenes of his childhood,
10 meet once more On the "bload bivouac
of life those who first trod with him the
merry ,calks of life, and engaged in all
the paslimes Of childhood's Joyous days,
when not cloud darkened the horizon Of
our hopes, nor shadow passed over our
bright and Frightening sky. How sweet

and feel the blush that nantes our

chiIdhood's chat, as we sat upon our rus

coursing upon the GENDER passion" burn
ing with youthful ardor in our manly
breasts.
Through TIC kindness Of some esteem
ed friends, whom it always gives us great
pleasure TO visit, we were well "cared
for" and received hearty welcome from
our old schooImates, whose names, in for
mer years, we were wont TO write on the
blank leaves Of our rcading book, when
ever the Precepior's back was turned.
We arrived Oh Sabbath at the place Sc
lected for the meeting, in time to hear an
excellent discourse from the Rev. Mr..
REscoRL. After morning service the as
sembage dispersed to hunt up their we'll
filed BASKETS, and then their friends TO
help cal their contents. A more orderly
or attentive audience we have never seen
before at such meeting. Persons from
distant parts Of the County were there,
and many stern, manly heart beat with
quick pusations at beholding the array of
beauty, and smiles of Ewes fair daugh
tiers.
After sharing the friendly repast of our
friends, we were invited to hear another
sermon; after which we took passage for
our distant home, with many kind recoI-
lections of our friends in that region, and
we can only add
"May JOY their steps attend,
And may they find in every form friend "
Yours, truly. J. q. w.

Incidents ofMe Late Railroad Catds-
trophe.-The loss of property 10 the
Camden and Amboy Railroad by the late
accident is estimated al $4,000 only, the
cars being all old ones. The New Yorl;
Times says:
The heroic conduct of Mrs. Gillespie,
of Mississippi, whose husband died on
Friday, is spoken of by all. 1t is some
what singular coincidence that The left leg
of herself and husband were both ampu-
tated, and both at the same place--lus
above the knee. Chloroiorm was admin
islered to her. while her leg was being
amputated. She bore the operation with
almost superhuman lorlitude. She even
apologized TO the surgeons for what she
termed her weakness" in groaning
family. At the first touch of the knife, a
je, of blood shot up in the face of the
operating surgeon; for this she also apollo
gized, and regretted the trouble she was
causing. When the limb was severed
she said, 81 hope they will be able &c
bear this sad news at home," and then re.
quested (if the surgeons did not desire tC
keep it for any purPose) that her amPuta,
led limb might be buried together with
the limb of her husband.
One of the sufferers says that as he
lay beneath the ruins parched with heat, {
"hot liquid" came pouring down within
reach of his mouth, and he slipped it uE
eagerly. His physician has not yet deem
I'D it advisable to inform him that the Tho
liquid which he drank was the blood o.
one of his feIior passengers, who wa:
living above him dead, crushed almost &c
jelly.
Some boys, while hunting in the sand
at the scene of the disaster, dug up por
ton of breast with some rios attached
belonging 10 one of the killed. DR.. ChaI
ner, who was present, took the bones ii

more TO the three pints OF raw brandy

Horrible Murder-A most awful muir
der was committed in North Sterling, a
bout nine miles west of Oswego, n. Y,
on the 29lh ult. A man named FltZger-
aid, together with his wife, were found
dead in bed this morning, most horribly
cut TO pieces. A young son OF theirs was
also discovered in the same room badly
mu tlated, but still alive. He has since
died. Another son, by the name OF John
is suspected of committing the deed, as
he tells great many contradictory stories
in regard TO it. He was recently arrested
for horse stealing. A short time ago he
had quarrel with his father, and threat
ened to kill him, and yesterday he had
another with his mother. He has been
arrested, and says the murder was COM
milted by negro and not by him. An
other son, in different part of the house,
heard rothlng till the screaming of his lit
tie brother aroused him, when he got up
and alarmed the neighbors. Before
sounding the alarm it was found that all
the doors of the house had been fastened
on the inside, and that John was in the
room with the murdered persons. He
slept on the floor in room opening into
the bedroom where the murder was COM
miled.
