Fearful Railroad Accident.
PHILADELPHIA. July /

PHILADELPHIA. July IL:
very serious Railroad accident occurred this
morning on the Northern Pennsylvania Railroad
near Fl Washington. An excursion train, con :
tanning 100 children with their parents and
teachers, of the St. Mchael's church Sabbath
School, came in collision with down train on
curve near Fl. Washington, while the latter was
going slowly and the former rapidly, endeavor-
ing to reach the stopping place. Both locomo.
tives crushed, and cars of excursion train rush
ing together, caught fire and were consumed be-
meath the ruins. The scene was of the most heart
rending and horrible description. The killed are
DIR. Sheridan, choirister of the church, body not
recovered; Hugh Campbell, Mary Kelley, Jas.
Mclntire, Jno Dogan, Edward Hare, Geo. Riv-
ers, Jas. Hickey, VIM. Mevard, Henry Halves,
Mary McGraw, A. McGouk, Ellen Clark, Catha-
line McSndsr, Kate McGerr, John Brady, Mar.
garet Marcy, Ohm Mcguire, j ames Harvey, Hen
ry Harrison, engineer of up train. In addition
to these II bodies were counted beneath the til,
ms Of the cars, mostly consumed ii men and
women and children were consumed in one car
total killed 80, wounded 60.
Latest accounts from scene of disaster report
IS killed. and nearly loo badly injured. $40 per-
sons were on the excursion train. Six cars en-
tirely demolished.
The scene of the disaster Is IA miles from THE
city, near two curves so that the approaching
train cannot be seen 500 yards distant, and the
track is q single one. When the locomotives
came together. they rose on end, their fire boxes
nearly touched and scattered fire about the first
excursion car, which caught fire and extended to
the other cars The most extraordinary efforts
were made to extrcate the mutilated beings
crushed under the wreck-many of them still a.
live when the flames reached them. The groaning
and cries that rent the air were awful. Two no.
tells, dwelling house, blacksmith shop, and
small shed, were within 800 yards of the disaster
to shelter the dying and wounded. number Of
physicians from this city and Germantown, were
early in attendance. Two Engineers were bu-
ried in the wreck, and after working several
hours the human remains beneath were removed.
Nineteen bodies were removed to the black
smith shop, three of them supposed to be females.
Under another shed were % bodies 20 Of them
charred so as to defy recognition.
The BODY of Father Sheridan was recovered
and brought to this city. An immense crowd was
attracted to the spot from the surrounding coun-
try. Many friends of the dead and wounded
walked from the city, and proceeded thither in
every description of vehicle, which were ta-
ken and made seofin bringing dead and wound,

Free Sugar and Fremont.

Good brown sugar, one of the necessaries Of life
in this country, now costs ten cents a pound
more than twice what it would cost but for a
duty of thirty per cent imposed upon foreign SD.
gars, and for the benefit Of whom7 OF fourteen
hundred sugar planters in theIState of Louisiana.
This is the entire number of men engaged in
growing sugar in the United States, and for the
sake ofgiving them market for their little stock
OF produce, 23,000,000 of people are obliged
TO pay duty of thirty cents on every dollar's.
worth of sugar they consume, which with incl
dental expenses,is equivalent to the confscations
of every third cargo that is brought into the
country. All this impost enures mainly TO the
benefit Of the foreign producer. for the whole
amount of sugar grown annually in the United
States would hardly sweeten the Strawberries
used on our tea-table. For the last three years
the crops have almost entirely failed, and the
prospects for the coming year more unprouising
than ever. And yet this duty is insisted upon.
and twenty-five millions Of people are required.
for every pound Of sugar they consume. to pay
tor three in order that fourteen hundred slave
holders in La, may be encouraged in the prose-
cution of business for which neither the elm
ate nor the soil of their State is propitious,
The same land put down in cotton, or In other
suitable crops, would have added vastly to the
wealth Of the country, and eft the planters them-
selves more prosperous than they new are, urs
der all the advantages of protection.
These same gentlemen are permitted 70 tAke
their tea and coffee, in common with the poorest
man in the country, without paying any duty
but for the sugar to sweeten esther, tthe whole
nationhas to pay two prices exclusively for theiS
benefit, thus practically adopting the Chinese
, economy of burning house to roast a pig.
Why is the country required TO submit 10 such
absured injustice7 For the simple reason that
sugar planting is identified with the slave inter-
est and that rules the country. A word against
the sugar duties would be as fatal to politician
as word against slavery, and hitherto il has
been impossible to rally sufficient strength in
Congress to make an impression upon this mon
strous wrong.
Happily there is now prospect ofbetter things-
Al last the country is wakeing up 20 the dan
ger of following the Southern lead any longer,
and Northern people are beginning to think UP.
on political questions for themselves.
The government of this country, we believe.
is soon destined to pass into hands competent
and disposed TO put an end to the system of sec
tional legislation which has hitherto ruled it and
one ofthe first results ofthe new ascendency, we
trust, will be the abolition of the sugar duties.

The Sn,,,rious Memorial.

The Kansas agi,aiors al ', ashlngton, re-
centIySot up a paper which purported to
be u memorial from the people of Kansas,
in regard to affairs in that territory. 1t was
presented to the Senate, where lis charac-
ter and origin were thoroughly investigated,
and it was proven to be a base forgery, and
very properly kicked out of the Senate. But
the agitalors determined 10 try it again.
The entire session of the Senate on the l1th
inst, was consumed in debating the receipt
ion ola paper that was presented as the
origiaot of the spurious which had been
thrown out.
Mr. Douglas took up the original and
compared it with what purportcd to be a
copy-the same that was rejected. He
showed that three pages of the original were
ommitted in the copy, and those three pages
placed the action Of the pretended Topeka
legislature on the distinct ground that Con-
gress had no power to give Il territorial
government to Kansas; that the organic law
passed by Congress was Il nullity. and that
the proceedings of the Topeka party were
confessedly revolutionary. lie showed that
this was one of the main points of dispute
between him and Mr. Collamer in their re-
port, and he charged that the original me-
mortal had been altered, and those three
pages suppressed because they sustained
his side of the dispute, and condemned that
of Mr. Collamer. The copy on the contrary
admitted the power of Congress to pass the
organic law, and represented the mcmori-
alists as humble suppliants for the intcrpo-
siiion of Congress TO relieve them from op-
preston. He asked, with emphasis, if this
did not look like forgery to suppress 50 Vi
tai a portion of the original document and
then present as a copy paper which con-
veyed wholly different view Of the ques-
ton.
Mr.. Douglas then pointed to the fact that
the original had no signatures, no date, and
no attesta,ion, except he affidavit of Col.
Lane. He pointed to the further act that
the copy was written on paper used in the
House of Representatives, whilst the orig
ina was on Massachusetts, made paper
He alluded tc other circumstances going to
show that the original had been altered
and erased and modified since the late de-
ba'es in the Senate, in order 10 avoid Ger
tain positions which had been exposed du-
ring the discussion, and thai he copy was
after these crasures and alterations. He in
sisted that paper SO marked with faud
ought not to be received by tie Senate
The question of receiving the memorial was
llid on the table by vote of3o 11.-Del-
phi Times.

Trimming Trees,

GAS the haying is over, fruit trees of all
kinds may be trimmed. Now is the time to expect
the wounds to heal rapidly, the trees make wood
fast at this season.'-Massachusetts Piournaan, Of
Aug. 18th.
If the only thing to be taken into consideration
is the rapid healing of the wounds, this of
the year would, most assuredly, be the most suita
BILE of any. Ii on the contrary, a due regard is
had to the growth and health of the tree, of all
seasons this would be the most improper; for the
very that trees make wood fast at this sea-
son.
Strip tree entirely of its leaves, and the forma-
ton of wood ceases. Deprive tree Of one of its
boughs, we take from it number of its digestive
organs, its leaves, and thereby impair its growth as
also that of its roots.
The principles of vegetable physiology that re
late to the growth of trees, are as follows: The
sap is absorbed by the roots ascends the stem,
crses the branches is elaborated III the leaves, and
descend~ again toward the roots, depositing a new
layer of wood.
Those who have paid attention to the growth of
trees must have observed that the period of increase
is divided into two seasons.
After the second growth is completed, which in
most trees is in the month of August or Septem-
Der, the effects of the descending sap, in the form
alton of wood, proceeds with more activity than at
any other season of the year; and growth always
corresponds to the action Of the lea es and branch
es, their removal at this season must be preudicial
to the formation of wood accordingly. The cner-
gies Of the roots, also, have been taxed thus far in
furnishing the needed supplies to the growing
leaves and branches. and it is necessary that they,
in return, should have the full benefit of the re-
turning elaborated sap to increase their growth and
enable them to maintain healthy, vigorous organ
iZation
If fruit trees. needing pruning, have remained
without it until having is over, let them remain
without it until their leaves have fully performed
the office for which they were designed
Early spring, before the swelling of the buds
and the active circulation OF sap commences, re-
gard the most proper and rational time for prun-
ing fruit trees.
am well aware that the names Of Buel, Down
ing, Thomas, and Others can be quoted as authori-
" for summer pruning; at the same time | must
dissent from their recommendation, regarding them
as unsound in theory. and, far my experience
goes. preiudicial in prdctice.-Ikc Homestead.
