n D'ai Mm Come TO Lift.--The

man was found sitting up in his bed, with
a woman (his wiie) in a chair at bis side
itappsaTed, on explanation, that after TIE
funeral arrangements had all been made,
the dying man suddenly revived, and be-
gan to grow better very las', with some
prospects of ultimate recoyery--so that
all Of lie preparations for wake and III

Prospects Of the nert Harrcst.--
The S|on, llH.) Courier expresses liz
opinion that we nay expect another very
fine crop Of wheat, and the opinion is has
ed upon the following reasons "lhe
early winter was very mild, 50 much so
tha! !!.e late sOwn wheat, Of which there
Is much, continued TO grow to 4 much Ia
ter date than usual Then the snow Will
have projected it from injury by the frost.
Lastly, Such uninterrupted cod wea!hyr
for So long period. and until so late a
date, augurs IN uninterrupted sprIHg-nme
when it comes. |, is further said, that
the number of acres put under wheat IN
that part Of the country last fall was great

dreadful Railroad Accident.

fr;ohtful accident occurred on the Pana
= paiipoad on the 9th inst, resulting in tn,
u" INatb i Of 80 or 40 passengers and woundine
u,n, ome 20 others A correspondent who wa.
So"'( oro.witness, sends us the following &C
[T'|5 g -, Editor of tie " Y Tribune:
- c,n Yesterday morning the passengers
fam New. York who left that city, April 81,
i"m ,.om this place for Panama in three separate
nOi" ,;ns of cars. The first contained the mails,
u",, ,ross matter and the passengers baggage
THL Tio otber two were filled with passengers. Af-
NV rrocccfing something more than half way
~ panama. the engine of the freight train ran
q tbe track in such a position that it could
,'nt hr replaced without good deal of delay.
y, tLr conductors Of the passenger trains, very
:, ,;.aiy I think, determined to run back to As
",u ;nrau where they could get something to eat,
Li,b they could not do anywhere on the road
W. wore within about two miles of this place,
'h,r tbc terrible crash occurred. | was seat
" in one of the rear cars, and the first sensa-
.;an felt was a sudden jerk, and Immediately
,'ntirr ont of the window ] could see the cars
.,.G;rg mon each other until nine in number
..,ro .",,o' rompIetely demolished Every car was
,rou,led with passengers, containing at least
:ytr pcrsons. At present it is impossible to
climate the number killed and wounded or
,L.;r names but when We consider that there
,+,,o ., NOT less than five hundred persons in the
wv, that were shirered to atoms, it must be
Inv estimate to say that fifty were killed, and
=, least A hundred, and, perhaps, many more,
L.1lr wounded-aud it seems almost miracu-
I'm, that so many escaped with their lives
There are many opinions as to the cause of
tho disaster and where the blame should rest.
T1o not think the conductors or engineer were
n blame. 1t was a defect the construction of
,Io road at that place 1t was at small
r-;lrc and the rails were laid on timberS that
,,r Ieprthway of the road, and there was no
hing to keep them from spreading and letting
tbp ears through, and we now see the result
Teyomned very critically to determine the
trnc cause, and feel certain that the above
: the true cause, and any attempt to censure
or Iav blame anywhere else will be unjust.
wish to speak quite emphatically on this
,ont to call the attention of the agents of
,be road in New-York to the subject While
rbey are cudangering their property and the
rrc, of their fclow-citizens in this way, they
ouaft to know the cause. When timbers have
lain in this climate a few years, they become
50 much soaked with water in the rainy season
that they have about as much substance as so
much water do not say that all their bridges
ayr made as this one was, for some certainly
are not, and a little expense to tie the slcepers
together would save a good deal of trouble.

A WASTE OF IRoN-The English are now
engaged in embarking the shot and shell they
have collected at Sevastopol AS to collect
ing and removing these missiles, which Fare
sown broadcast in the very soil, like pebbles
on the beach, for the space Of several miles in
length and two niles in BREADTH the task is
hopeless of execution. Piles of shot have been
formed in every ravine and stand there as a
monument of the useessness of such efforts as
have yet been made to gather the iron show
ers which fell for eleven long months in front
of Sevastopol. Every watercourse is full of
iron-shell, shot, and splinters CT strange
shapes abound in every ravine. The Russians
will only have to collect what the Allies leave
behind them to form large magazines of shot,
but she'll will not beso plentiful, as they were
more sparingly used, and were generally dam
aged, if they did not burst Guns, too, are
buried in the earth, and peep out from the
earthwork of overthrown batteries 1t is cal
culated that the Russians fired about 10000
tuns Of iron at the Allies. The English gave
them about II 900 tuns in return, and possi-
bly, the French fired about 10000 tunS SO
that between GO, 900 and 10 900 1uns weight
of iron must be lying about on the plateau.

WoynEEFrL INSTANCE OF SAGACITy.-We
.ear saws the Columbus (O) Capital City
Fart, of an instance of Sagacity practiced by
lie elephant attached to Herr Driesbach'S
Nenagerie, which deserves record. Coming
ato Newark Ohio last Saturday, the. ele-
haat> keeper fell in tit from his horse
Tile whole menagerie Immediately came to a
hal and some members of the company went
orward to pick up the man, But the ele-
}hant would not allow any person to approach
the senscless form of his keeper Taking him
nwith his trunk, softly, he would place him
% bis horse, but finding that the man was
aG>eesS, he laid him on the ground, and kept
watch over him. Many members of the me-
ul,erie tried to soothe the faithful elephant,
who had now become furious at the supposed
'eath Of his master, but to no purpose, and
there the man lay watched by the sagaciOus
snmal After laying in this condition for
sme time, physician, who had been sent for,
rived and yet the elephant would allow no
me TO approach, At length the keeper be-
ame 50 far conscious as to command the ele-
plant to let the physician come near, and the
animal was dociic and obedient in a moment,
md the keeper was properly cared for-the
lPhaut, all the while, expressing the utmost
a1ety for the sick man.

PREsIDENTIAL.-The Washington Sentinel

PREsIDENTIAL.-The Washington Sentinel
contains the following paragraph -
Ever since that time the Ostend Confer
encel to the present, Franklin Pierce has inst
gated and invented the most insdious and dis
reputable attacks upon Mr., Buchanan, not on.
y through his own mouth,piece, but even in
his own conversations. We make this charge
that Gen. Pierce has told delegates to the Ma
tional Convention, that if he did mot get the
nomination himself, no Northern man should
have it-clearly pointing to Mr. Buchanan,
who, except Judge Douglas, is the only "Nor-
thern man" spoken of, and if report be true,
the relations of the latter are greatly changed
towards the Administration"
1t has been clear for long time that the
relations of the Administration to Mr.. Bucllan-
an were anything but friendly, and our advices
from Washington Indicate that the war u,,on
him has been successful. The President and
Judge Douglas have united their forces against
him as common enemy The attempt will
first be made to re-nominate Gen Pierce if
that fails, Douglas will be tried and if ne-
ther succeed, then Southern candidate, pro-
badly Hunter, will be brought forward The
Democracy feel SO sure of success in any event
that they discard availability as an essential
qualification in a candidate.-N. ". Times
