FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT Boston
Journal gives the following particulars of the
sad and fatal accident which we noticed in
the Spy OF yesterday
"Mr. VIM. Mcfarland, accompanied by his
wife and his half sister, Miss Houston, were
riding in chaise, and approached the Church
street crossing in Newton, a short distance
from the Momentum House, when their horse
(either becoming unmanageable or being hur-
ried by the driver,) rushed across the track at
the moment Quarter before six o'clock) the
Albany accommodation train came along.
The horse cleared the track but the loco
motive struck the chaise, throwing both ladies
violently against one of the large posts which
support the "Rairoad Crossing" sign, frac-
turing their skulls, and killing them Instantly
Mr.. Mcfarland was also thrown violently
to the ground, and although he received a
fracture of the right shoulder and other Sc
we're INJURIES, it was the opinion of DR.. Hen
~ Bigelow of Newton, at the latest accounts,
that he would recover.
1t is due to the engineer of the train, to
state that he observed Mr.. Mcfarland APP
preaching the track, and the action of the
horse caused him to reverse the motion of his
engine, but unfortunately not in season to
prevent the collision.
Mr.. Mcfarland is but "a years of age, by
trade baker, and had been established in
business in Newton only few months.
Mrs. Mcfarland was about 81 years of age,
and the daughter of the late DR.. Kendall, OF
Georgeville, c. E. She leaves an infant five
weeks old
Miss Houston was about 81 years old, and
belonged in Coventry, VT, from which town
she removed about fortnight since, with q
view of spending the summer in Mr.. Nc
Farlands family. She is spoken of as being
a lovely and amiable young lady,"

The author of the volume with the above title,

is, that it is very fat and very stupid and that it
does no credit either to Mr.. Whtney's head or
his heart, or to the judgment of his constituents

The LATE News from KANzAs shows what
desperate measures the administration and its
musters, the slavery propagandists, are ready
to employ against the people of Kanza6. The
meaning of the recent developments in that
| quarter is that the slavery propagandists have
resolved TO stifle the investigation of the do
lngs OF border rutiansm in Kanzas In Con-
gress, the Pierce and Douglas party made a
| desperate effort to defeat the motion to raise A
COMMITTEE OF Investigation. They did not
succeed, and now they are endeavoring to
obstruct the Committee and break up the
investigation. The administration is directly
responsible for the proceedings against Gov.
Reeder. The attempt to withdraw him from
the sessions of the Committee, where his pres.
ence is Indispensable is infamous But these
proceedings are not confined to Gov. Reeder.
Every prominent Free State man is to be ar.

deter men from testifyng before the Commit
tee; and the Missouri ruftians, stimulated bv
the countenance and influence of the admin

Perhaps the American people will endure all
this quietly, and not feel disposed to rebuke
the astonishing vilany which now regulates
the conduct of the Federal Executive. We
will not undertake to predict what they will
do, but leave it for time to show.
The Developments that have been made IN
the course of the Committees inquiries, not
only confirm everything that has been charg-
ed against the Missourians, but go further,
and show that the half has not been told. II
is not surprising that those responsible Tor the
atrocities which the investigation is likely to
bring to public attention, should dread the
exposure, and wish to avoid the consequences.
But, wicked and INSCRIPTIONS as it is known
to be, we had supposed that there were some
