We attended Yesterday, the celebration
by the Catholic congregation of Jefferson, in

o'clock a procession was formed and marched
under directions Of marshalls, to the Catholic
Church, where Mass was celebrated and a

virtues. of the great Saint, who was the first
to disclose the immortal hopes of Christianity
to the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle. !"

Fatal Accident on the Pennsylvania
Railroad

Intelligence was received in this city Yester-
day morning of q terrible accident which oc-
CURED about seven o'clock, on "Wednesday
evening, on the Pennsylvania Railroad nesr
GaGtzin, between Altoona and the Tunnel.
1t appears that an emigrant train coming west
bad passed throu gh the tunnel, and stopped
a short distance from its mouth. While there,
freight train, which was also coming west
came dashihg through the Tunnel, and the
engineer being unable to sec the signals of
danger through the smoke, the locomotiv e
ran into the hind car of the emigrant train,
which was completely demolished. Three
emigrant passengers were almost irs.an tly
killed, and eleven others were seriously in
jured.
From all We could learn. it would appear
that the emigrant train was behind time and
to this cause the accident was attributed Ac-
cidents of this nature are of unusual occur
renee on this we'll conducted road, and the
proper officers on learning Of the accident i'm
mediately set about investigating the matter.
Prompt medical assistance was furnished the
wounded, and at last accounts they were get
ting along finely.
Since the above was written we have
learned that but two were killed instantly,
one of whom was Louisa Shaeffer, native uf
Germany. man named Matthew Wilkins,
who was 50 severely crushed as to require am
putation of the legs, died yesterday morning.
The name Of the other victim we did not learn,
We copy the above from the Pittsburg
Post, Of March 18th. The accident did not
occur, stated, between Altoona and the
Tunnel, but at the Vest end of the Tunnel
We have been informed that the Emigrant
Train was almost three hours behind time, and
that when it reached the West end of the
Tunnel, it was permitted to remain on the
track upon which it had been running The
employees of the Road must have known, that
the freight train was due about the time the
accident occurred, and should have removed
the Emigrant Train to the sidehng. which
would have prevented such distressing ca
tastrophe We are informed by p. Dough
crty, Esq, that he held an inquest on three
dead bodies. two males aud one female He
also states, that the freight train had two To-
comotives attached to it, one in front anda one
behind, and that it came through the Tunnel
at full speed" If this was So, there was
culpable negligence. We have not learned
the number of the wounded, nor the extent of
their INJURIES. We think it clear case for
the most rigid Investigation. SO that the blame
may rest upon those who thus wilfully and
neglgently imperil human life.

More about Lent.

We briefly alluded to the fact that the sea-
SOL of Lent had commenced The length of
this fast is forty days, in remembrance of the
forty days fast Of tho Redeemer. It's com
mencement is regulated with Easter, which
according 20 the Ecclesiastical Calendar, is al
ways the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after the vcrnal
equinox-21st of March That moon fell
this year on the 9th of April, and thus the
Sunday following, the 18th, is Easterday.-
From the 25th of February, Easter is just
six weeks and four days, GAG days. but, as all
Sundays in the year are considered feast days,
they are not counted in the Lenten season,
and SO from Wednesday until Easter Eve there
are just forty common days. The last week
of the season has from ancient times been
called Passion week, Holy week, or the Great
week, from the fact that in it are commemo-
rated the last great acts in the mission of
Christ, his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem,
his humiliation and betrayal, the institution
of the Sacrament, his condemnation, crneifx-
ion, death and burial

Nothing Of importance, has met our notice
in looking over the proceedings of the Legis-
lature, since our last issue.-A great many
Bank Bills have passed the Senate, in which
body. the opposition have majority, but we
do not believe, that they will meet with any
ts:::vor in the House. IF there can be found in
tina. body, e,S.oaugh of recreant democrats, to
unite with the opposition and pass all these
monopolies, we can tell them, that there is a
fearful day of reckoning in store for tn,,m.-

they pass the Senate, we will apprise our

Is indisputable, says Mercier, that Louis
fought with his executioners- The Able

spcechless. At last as his master seemed to
look inquirlngly at him, he said. Sir. in

At these words, the Indignation of the man
gave way to the humility of the Christian.
and Louis said to the executioners, II will
drain the cup to the dregs" They tied his
hands, they cut off his hair, and then, leaning
on the arm of his confessor, he began with a
slow tread and sinking demeanor. to mount
the steps, then very steep, of the guillotine.
Upon the last step. however, he seemed sud-
denly to rouse, and walked rapidly across to
the other side of the scaffold; when, by sig
nal commanding silence. he exclaimed. I" I
die innocent OF the crimes imputed to me-"
His face was now very red, and, according to
the narrative of his confessor, his voice was
SO loud that it could be heard through the
streets as far as the Point Tournament Some

Mr.. Buchanan 5 Administration.

On the 4th inst. the President elect was
duly installed into office, and took the same
oath which has been administered to all Pres
idents, since the Inauguration of Gen Wash
ington. We predict. that his administration
will be one Of the most popular of all our Pres
idents. His entire history as one of our most
distinguished Statesmen; his known ability
and patriotic motives, as manifested through
out all his public life. are safe and sure
guarantee, that under his administration, the
honor of the country, both at home and abroad
will be carefully protected. As is usual. on
the advent of all new Presidents. one of the
most interesting questions is, what will be his
policy IN reference to removals from office.
We are of that school, who believe that
g To the vietors belong the spoils-" No ad-
ministration can very long sustain itself, un-
less it recognizes that Wholesome political doc
trine. We do not say that an indiscriminate
change of Office holdrs should take place; but
We do declare, as our settled conviction, that
any man who has held an Office of honor and
profit, for the four years of Gen. Pierces ad-
ministration, ought as matter of right, to
surrender his place, unless the re-appointmcnt
Of the present incumbent, is asked for by those
interested in his continuance in Office.
We believe that Gen. Washington, when
he was President. declared that if President
did not care for his friends, he would be guilty
ofpolitical suicide. We are happy to observe,
that from the large list of new appointments
made by Mr.. Buchanan, he appears deter
mined to enforce the doctrine to which we
have referred. 1t is both right and proper,
and we hope the work will go on. 1t is the
only certain policy by which his administra-
tion can he sustained

Another Coalition.

Our readers will recollect, that in the re-
esnt political campaign in this State for State
officers and for tho Presidency, the Know
Nothings and Black Republicans combined
20 defeat the democratic ticket. They were
defeated. as they deserved to be, By the voice
Of popular opinion. An effort is now being
made in this State, to bring about the same
coalition, for the purpose of defeating the
democratic ticket at The next October Election.
For that purpose q State Convention, of all
POLITICAL elements, opposed to Mr.. BuchanaH
administration, has been called to assemble a.
Harrisburg ON the 25th inst.-Whether this
tgill succeed, remains to be seen. In many
portions of the State, the Know Nothings
appear determined to have things in their
own way; whilst in other sections, the Re-
publicans, believing themselves to be the
stronger of the two opposing factions, evince
dissemination Eot to unite with the follow
srs Of SAM, but to claim every thing for
Shemselves. David Wilmot, j. K. Moore

to be the most formidable candidates for Gov

ranks Of the opposition to Wilmot. except
among the delegates from the Northern por-
ton of the State. Moorehead is not consid-

That some disgraceful combination, will be
formed we cannot doubt. For years it has
been the policy and practice of the enemies of
the democratic party, to attempt to mislead
the people. by such shallow devices They
never learn anything. and they never forget
anything. Whenever they have attempted to
deceive the people in this way. they have
always been deceived themselves. Wilmot
carries the brand of a political traitor on his
forehead, and if nominated, will meet with a
traitors reward. He was brought into polit-
ical existence by the democratic party, aud

Gen. PACKER, the democratic candidate, a
foeman worthy of his steel; a man who can
speak eloquently of the faith that is in him;
man who stands upon the same platform
sith James Buchanan, and whose political
sentiments will be endorsed By the same en-
enthusiasm. by the democracy of the glorious

Messrs. WHITE & DEyIsE Among a
number of the Democratic Lawyers of West
ern Pennsylvania. the name of this gentle
man stands conspicuous for the nomination.
to supply Judge Blacks place on the Su-
preme Bench.
The candidate seems to be conceded to the
Vest. Indeed, it was feared that the present
State ticket, being an entirely Eastern ticket,
might be endangered in the Western part Of
the State from its locality, Notwithstanding
the entire fitness of the candidates. But
now, that vacancy has occurred. we pre-
sumo the only question will be, what Western
man is the most deserving; who. at the same
time can bring to the Office the highest legal
attainments, and the experience necessary for
theaSupreme Bench
The extensive legal learning of Mr. Stokes
will be conceded wherever he is known He
had been admitted but short time till be
stood among the foremost at the Philadell hia
Bar, and in addition to his labcrs at the bar,
his name graces the title page of some of the
most practical books now used by the profess
sion. Bnt we need not discuss his legal abil-
ities-they are acknowledged and admitted
everywhere over the State.
Prefering the country. Mr. Stokes many
years since removed to the Star of the West, %
where he at present resides. The county of
his adoption asks his nomination at the hands
Of the State Convention and well she NAV,

And no man within her borders has more

In Little Cambria his nomination would be
hailed with delight; and her hardy sons would
delight to cast their suffragcs for him. His
nomination We are satisfied, would be received
with universal favor and his election would
add another to the giant minds, who have
given character to our Supreme Court, and
rendered its decisions source of pride to
