SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO GEN. CAss

Much excitement was occasioned at Wash
ington on Friday, from an accident occurring
TO the veteran Senator from Michigan, Gen.
Cass. While coming from the Patent 0 flee,
about IL o'clock, he lost his foot-hold, and
was percipitated some FIVE or six steps to the
pavement, cutting his head very badly, near
the temple, and causing insen.ibility for a
considerable time. He was taken up and
conveyed 10 the National Hotel, and Drs.
Miller and Garnett immediately summoned
The wounds in his head bled profusely, and
the report spread that be had fractured his
skull, causing most painful anxiety. lie
remained some time insensible, but finally re-
covered and recognized the friends in attend
ance on him. His physicians, also, at the
same time announced that his Injuries were
less serious than had been feared and that
no bones had been broken. After his wound
had been dressed, he fell asleep, and for an
hour or more slept soundly.

AWFUL COLLISION on THE sOUTMER5
MICHIGAN RAILROAD.

A citizen OF this place just returned from
the West gives US full particulars Of the
Southern Michigan Railroad accident, near
Hiledale, Mich, meagre account OF which
came to US by telegraph.
The snow and cold have served to distract
the running arrangements Of all railways.
East and West, and trains are pretty much
"wild," running off time and feeling the road. II
The two trains--one Eastern and one West
ern bound-which came in collision near
Hillsdale, were both off time, but, as appears,
were not equally well conducted. The
through mail train going East was running at
the rate Of about thirty miles per hour, and
had out no head light-and this notwithstand-
ing it was midnight and heavy snow falling
and the train much behind time. The train
pound Yves: was going very slow had out
lights, &c. and in entering upon curve west
OF Iillsdale was run into by the through mail
train. The collision was dreadful, complete
iy demoishiDg engines, tenders and baggage
cars. Three men, fremen. baggage master
and traek.master. were killed outright. and
three others so badly injured that recovery is
deemed impossible.
The engineer of the mail train is among the
injured, and expresses wish to die, as our
informant learned. because he b!smes himself
in the matter. 1t is an awful record, but il
is only one which goes to make up the calen-
der of death all chargea5le to the carelessness

ENCHANTING PoIsoS.--The New Haven
Palladium says :--"About the time that Prof
Siliman, jr., searched for the poison, which
Mrs. Wakeman alleged TO have been in the
cakes which she ate, and which poison, she
said, was put in them by Amos Hunt, "The
Man OF Sin," she stated to Sly that the na-
ture of the poison had been revealed to her
The Professor told Sly that it would save
him some trouble if she would reveal it TO
him. She therefore sent by Sly catalogue
of the ingredients. which, she said, Hunt had
compounded for the purpose of throwing his
entertainments upon her. The medley reminds
one of the witch scene in Macbeth. 1t is as
follows The brains of a man; the oil of
meD's bones the eyes of dogs; heart OF
dogs; the brains of cats. the eyes of roos-
tersi garden basil topaz stone, copper. zinc
and platina, and certain portions Of common
toad"

TIE CIScINSATI FuIBUsTRE CAFK.-Judge
Leayitt, in discharging the defendants in
this case, said;
ITO sustain the charge sgainst defendants
it was necessary to prove that they had com
mitted some acts, such as beginning or set
ting on foot sonlo expedition. The begin
ming Of such an enterprise must be something
more than wordy threats The manner
in which the defendants were organized,
giving it even its most uafavorable construc-
tion, would not 60 TO establish the charge
that there was on foot military movement
looking to the invasion Of Ireland, that could
bring the defendants within the provisions OF
the act OF 1878 In short. the kevidence Of
the prosecution did not sustain the charge
against the defendants, who were consequent
y disehsrged."

and resolutions:
WuEREAs-V Variola or small. pox ia prevail
ing TO n fearful extent in most Of our cities.
and in some of the towns in our immediate
vicinity, and as the past history of the dis
ease proves That 1t has been conveyed by
trading vessels and overland caravans to
every part of the babitable earth, and can be
conveyed by single individual from one part
OF the country TO another constituting it the
most widely spread pestilence to which the
human species is subject, and whereas, the
experience of more than fifty years prove:
incontestably the extraordinary value Of vac
cination in diminishing the mortality from
smallpox, and also, in indirectly improving
and prolOngng the life of the people in nearly
all parts of the civilized world, therefore
Resolred, That the Council earnestly call
