sequence of some arrangement on the

speed over the road aud while turning

were piled in a shattered condition one
upon the other. Many were instantly
killed, and many more were dreadfully
wounded. A train was Immediately sent
back to Aspinwall for help, but from
some unaccountablc oversight came back
without any surgeons. The train took
back ffty.three of the wounded sufferers
to Aspiuwall, where it is said they failed
to receive that attention which Eumani-

refused to receive the wounded. 1t is

Slavery would look up and become very
respectable indeed, even at tho South.
A strong anti-slavery party would then
be found there, and the work of enamel
patton would, with the aid Of the Gen

The address occupied about two hours
and with the exception Of an occasional
burst of invective, was delivered in a
quiet familiar way, and in a pleasant
style, There was little extravaganza or
rant about it, and its sentiments in the
main were received with favor.
We are sorry to learn, as we do by
the following which has been handed us
for publication, that the Rev. Mr. KEN
DALI has resigned the Office of Pastor
of the Congregational church in this
place. Mr.. Kendall has been with US
three years, during which time he has,
by his faithfuness as a Minister and
Pastor, his excellence as q man and the
high character of his pulpit labors
won the affection and confidence of this
community We understand that it
is his intention to travel abroad for some
months, with view to tho improvement
of his health, which we hope may DO

to resume his chosen and loved work, in
