Loss OF LIFE ON RALRoAps.-Tbe
Annual Report of the Railroad Commits
sioner of New York discloses some inter
esting facts relative to the safety OF
Railroad travelling. We take the fol-
lowing from summary ofits tables.
Of the persons killed, eight per cent.
were passengers, thirty-o ne per cent. en-
ployees, and sixty-one per cent, neither
passengers nor employees. Four-lifths
Of the passengers killed, and one-third
Of those injured suffered in consequence
of their own imprudence. Three ffths
of the deaths and one-fourth of the iniu-
res not resulting in death, were caused
by persons walking upon the track, or
attempting to cross the track at public
highways. One passenger was killed
out of every 1862, l65 who Travelled, and
one was either injured or killed out of
every 34l, l25. Exclusive of all acct
dents growing out of the imprudence and
fault Of thepassengerst themselves, butone

it was the name Of new garment of the
description that she wanted, and utter
ing a very extended "O!' she proceeded

Gross LIBELs.-We copy the follow

tasted sour grapes simply to show to-
what extremes the trowns Of the fair sex
may drive the rejected:

going to a party, rub their eyes with
esct''dtt d'ognona, to make them sparkle
and give brilliant expression
The New York bellies don India rub
Der stockings to contract the feet and
make them look small.
The Providence beauties put a small
clam shell under the hollow of each foot
to lift the instep and confer well made
air to the pedals.
The Philadelphia demoiselIes eat per-
simmons to draw their mouths up to a
point, and give their lips q do kiss me-
look.
OMIss1oNs.-An exchange very pro-
perly suggests that President Pierce in
his late party document, mis-named a
Message, omitted to make any reference
to the following important topics;
/. Any direction about opening the
Slave Trade.
. Any formal remark on Internal I'M
proyement.
3 Any allusion to the late valuable SER
vices Of the Fillmore party.
4 Any mention of Southern disunion-
lists.
5 ANY recommendation that the right of
