HORRIBLE RAILROAD AccIDENT.-PHILA-
DELHIA, August 29th.-The train which left
this city for New York at 10 o'clock, ran
over a horse near Burlington and was thrown
from the track. The accident occurred two
miles above Burlington. The up train wait
ed at Burlington for the down train, which
was behind time, 10 minutes, and then went
on slowly.
A vehicle at the crossing waited until the
train passed up, and then started to cross
the track. Just at this moment the engineer
of the up train hearing the down train APP
preaching, suddenly reversed his engine, and
coming back encountered the vehicle, crush
ing it to pieces, the occupants fortunately es-
Gaping by throwing themselves from it. The
collision with the vehicle threw the whole
train from the track, with terrible results
One car ran completely through the next car,
killing or manning nearly all the passengers
in it!
The vehicle which caused the accident was
driven by DIR. Hannegan and contained his
wife and two children-all escaped with tri-
fling injury, but both of his horses were
killed. The driver was hard of hearing and
did not perceive the train returning. Hay-
ing seen the train pass he supposed that all
was safe.
The down train from New York, when il
stopped, was within 100 feet of the train
wrecked by the collision with the vehicle.

DEATHS.

In Orange county, on Friday morning the oath
instant, Mr.. David T.. Tinnin, aged about 81 years.
He was a kind ~neighbor, and much esteemed by all
who knew him.
Also, on the 18th inst, Mr.. John Forrest, ST., in
the 92d year of his age. Mr.. Forrest was a Ruling
Elder in the Presbyterian Church, at the Cross
Roads for more than sixty years. His wife, Elton
Forrest, died the 18th of January, 1855, in the 91st
year of her age. She also was a consistent men,
Der of the same church for near thrce-quarters of q
century.
In Alamance county, on the 21st of August, Mrs.
Sarah Jane Bradford, aged "a years. Also, on tho
22d, Mr.. John Bradford, husband Of the above,
aged about 35 years. They were both buried in
one grave.
Near Hamptonsville, on the 22d inst, Eveleen
M, infant daughter of Mr.. U. J. Douthett, aged
ten months and eight days. The subject of this
notice was an interesting and lovely child. There
is a precious consolation. for the hearts of bereaved
parents in the death of little children so ample as
to lead them to kiss the rod that smites.
EuzELIAS HALL, August 18th, 1855.
WHEREAS: We have heard with u~nfeigned sor-
row., of the death of Augustus c.. Etheridge of
Camden county n. c., an active member of this
society, who has been cut down in the bloom of
youth and on the threshold of active life:
BE IL Resoiced, That while we sympathise with
the relatives of the deceased, we are pleased to
know that he died among them that his last mo-
ments were spent in the home of his childhood, that
a mothers and a sisters hand administered to his
wants during his illness, and that their voices
cheered him amid the thickening gloom of death.
Resotued, That while we submit without a MUIR
muir to this affecting dispcnsation Of Providence,
believing that Jehovah after the counsels of his
own will doeth all things well, We lament the early
loss of one who as a student commanded the re-
spect of his teachers by his punctuality and gentle
manly demeanor, and won the esteem of his asso-
ciates by his unvarying kindness of the disposition
and who, as a member of this society, was early
identified with the promotion of its interests; ever
DESTROYS of preserving its honor unsullied, and
faithful in the discharge of every appointed duty.
Resolred, That in token of our respect for thu
deceased, we wear the usual badge of mourning
and that though his body has returned to the dust
whence it sprang, and his soul gone to the 4spiri
world, we viii long hold his name in grateful re
membrance.
Resotred, That a copy of these resolutions b
sent to the bereayed parents, and that a copy b
sent to the esprit of the Age" Biblical Recorde
and Murfreesboro' Gazette, with a request that the,
be published.

EDITORS TARLE.

Mr.. W. L. Pomerory, Bookseller, of this
city, has laid upon our table the September
No. of Harper's Magazine. 1t is quite an
interesting number, with illustrated articles
on the Russians; those curious people the
Mosquitoes and early Printing and Printers.
The grotesque Department is filled with the
experience of Mr.. Slim at Sea. The Fashion
chapter is devoted to female equestrian dra-
perry, &C., which will, no doubt be interesting
to the ladies.
N. G. UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE, for Septem-
Der, containsthe following interesting papers:
Carolina in 17l0-Our Countrymen-College
Customs-Stray Seaves, &c. Doesticks and
the Wrinkles a Review-A Summer in the
Countrywide Press-Life's Evening Hymn
the Song of Steam-Editorial Table. So a
year.
Va What has become of Graham? The
September No. has not reached us yet! Some
thing unusual for this prompt monthly.

New York, Aug. 29.-The British Mail
steamer Canada arrived at Halifax last night
with dates from liverpool up to the 18th inst.
Both the Wa news and markets are highly
important. Sweaborg, an important Russian
City on the Gulf of Finland, had been bonn
barded by the Allied fleets on the 18th inst,
and DESTROYED. Loss immense. Loss of the
Allies trifing.
Gen. Liprandi had attacted the lines on
Tchernaya, but was repulsed with great loss.
The Bombardment Of Sebastopol was to
commence on the 18th. Queen Victoria was
on a visit to Napoleon.
Gen. Simpson telegraphs home that he
would reopen bombardnents on the morning
of the 18th. Victoria and her cortege had
proceeded to France in six ships of war.
During the bombardment of Swearburg,
the city took fire, and burned for as hours.
Store-houses, magazines, a~rsenals, &C., were
all in ruins. The powder magazines, mill.
tary stores and other projeetiles blew up.
Nothing is said of the Russian ships of
War.
Two English officers and 80 men were
wounded, and about the same number of
French wounded, but none killed. The for
tress of Sweaburg was not taken.
The battle of Tchernaya commenced on
the 10th. The Russians numbered 10000.
The Sardinians fought brayely. The Rus
slams left 700 slain on the field, and about
400 were taken prisoners. The Russians
were in full retreat when a reserve force OF
the enemy came up, and pursued them with
dreadful slaughter.
A despatch from st. Petersburg has order
ed Gortschakof to burn the feet if Sebasuo-
mol should fall. The London Post says it has
reason to expect some startling news from
1.-THE Crimea. It is supposed to refer to a Sc
cret expedition. The latest intelligence states
that Kars is completely invested.
Gen. Espinasz takes Canrobert's command.
Negotiations continue between England
and France and Austria, about the occupa-
ton by the latter of the P~rincipalities.
The revolt at Tripoli was still u~nsubdued.
A ministerial crisis was threatened at Con-
stantinople.
L1yERPooLM ARKETs.-Cotton sales opened
with a large speculative demand and adyan-
ced from an eighth to a quarter, were easier
during the last two days., but not quotably
lower. Closed steady.
Breadstufs-Flour dull and declined Cd

dull and declined Is Sd. per quarter. Wealth
err good and crop accounts favorable.

Asya The Standard notices our mistake in
attributing the famous Sunday Mail Report
to Col. VIM. r. instead of Col. r. M. john
son, Of Ky. 1t was a lapsus penna, IN our
part. We knew very well who was the au-
thor Of that Report.
But the Standard very much misunder-
stands our position on this " Sabbath Obser-
vance question, if it supposes we are in fa-
vor of the passage of any law by Congress
upon the subject. Our purpose was to try
and. induce our Railroad Companies, voLUN-
TARILY AND OF THEIR owN ACCORD, to aban-
don running their ears on the Sabbath, and
so we understood the writer Of the Commu-
nications signed /" PHILANrHRoPos." An ar
rangement with the Post Office Department,
TO this effect, might be made, as in places Of
much larger commercial Importance, by run
ming a mail train on Saturday or Sunday
night, instead of occupying the whole Sab
bath day, as is now the case.
AS to the "odor Of over righteousness
Pharisoism Of cxcessiyepiety streaming down
tous fromthepast annals and presentdolngs OF
certain communities n this country which the
Standard does not relish" wetoo find much
to abhor in that direction-but two wrongs
never made a right yet and we draw oul
IDEAS Of Sabbath observance from the Bible
and not from a wish to initiate others, or t
differ from others, when w do not relish
Nor would we measure our own duty by obi
GUS comparisons with others. Can no gooC
come out Of Nazareth? If there is any "odol
Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of exces
siye picty," in remembering the Sabbath
day to keep it holy" it must be a very mod
crn discovery. But we want it to be a free
voluntary Observance, and not a reluctant
law-enforced one.
The Standard evidently misunderstood
our position. Our simple object was to dis
approve Of the use made Of the Sabbath da,
for secular, business employments. Does tn
Standard oppose this2

800 REWARD.

WILL give the above reward for the appre-
IL hension and confinement Of my Negro Man
DENNIS, If taken in this State. or $500 if taken
out Of the State. Said Dennis has now been run
away about twenty months, viz: since December,
1853. He is slightly bow -legged, toes turning out
a little, has a scar on one of his thighs caused by a
snag, of dark complexion, 5 feet 3 or 4 inches
high, aged about 81 years, and weighing when he
left about $50 pounds.
Since Dennis has been a runaway, I have heard
of his being in Johnston county as a turpentiue
hand and ditcher; have heard of his being about
Ayerasboro' as a maker of turpentine barrels and
striker in a blacksmith shop perhaps N Fayette-
vile or its vicinity, and about GoldsbOFOs i can
not say whether these representations are true,
but I have no doubt he is in Johnston, Harnett,
Cumberland or some of the adjacent counties, work
ing about as a free man. / learn he passed in
some places by tne name Of John G. Williams"
he doubtless has other names by which be has
passed during his long absence.
/ will give the above Reward Of 500 for bis
apprehension and confinement in this State, or
5000 if taken out of the State, so that / get him
again. If delivered to me in Raleigh, I viii pay
all additional expenses besides the above Reward.
Letters concerning said Runaway. to be addressed
to me at Raleigh. GRAY STRICKLAND.

The strong arm IN which you leaned con-
fdingly while young and full of hope begins
to fail and tremble. He, whom you loved
as only the doting wife can love, is stricken
down by strong disease, and you see him lie
helplessly on the snowy couch your hands
have smoothed and softened an hundred
times, and he writhes in agony. He looks
upon you with his wild, CLASSY eyes, he
laughs strangely and then Kisses you from
the darkened chamber, saying, you, his wife,
are a stranger.
Your kind family Physician comes again,
and you bid your failing heart hope better
things, against the evil hour that you fear is
nigh.
The Physician prescribes now this and
now that, but your husband grows wilder in
his rawlings. There is such hot tears in your
eyes, that shades the white curtains about the
bed with o strange dimness until they look
as white curtains never looked before. The
tears are so hot in your eyes that nothing
looks as it did when you were happy, not
even your blue-eyed babe in its crib and
YOU feel such a wildness whirling through
your brain that you wish in the very depths
of your soul that you were out of this trou-
blesome world, and sleeping at the side of
your dead mother under the shade of the
willow that grows in the church yard down
by the brook.
AS the hours go by, your husband grows
more and more feeble. You see new fea

persuade yourself that he is yonr husband.
You feel as if there were invisible spirits
circling through the solemn chamber, and you
unconsciously walk about silently, fearful.
that you will arouse the mysterious messen-
gers.
You hear vague, indistinct Whispering
among your neighbors who surround the bed
and you wonder and wonder it's meaning.
The taper, on the little stand your mother
gave you, burns brightly enough, but a dim
mist-like halo surrounds it, so full is YOU
eyes with tears, and SO flooded its lashes will
bitter waters.
You wonder and wonder what your PLY
stefan thinks, as he stands at the side of th,
bed, with his hand on your dear husband
brow, that you know must be throbbing will
pain.
You lay your cheek on the pillow, clos,
besideyour husbands cheek, just as you hay,
more than an hundred times before, vainl,
hoping that he will recognize you, but he no
tees you not, and a CLASSY film is gathering
like a cold cloud in his eye.
Your ear catches the whisper of your Ply
stefan, and it is as a peal of thunder bringin,
you tidings of terror. The Physician ha
said:
HE is PASSING AwAY!"
DEATH has entered the door of your HON
and has bound your husband in his grea
sheaf and has borne him away.
Your REED OF HOPE is BROKEN
The husband of your youth has grow
cold as clay, and you scream as you lay you
