Is IT TRuEt--wc have been Informed, from a
most reliable source, that IRE trorLmea rere
killed by the falling in of Board Tree Tunnel,
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on Satur-
day last. Our informant states that whilst a
number Of men were engaged at work in the
tunnel, large quantity Of loose rock and earth
came down upon them, instantly crushing into
eternity, five of the number. We also learn,
that on day before yesterday, further fall Of
about one hundred feet in length, took place,
covering the track to depth of over twenty
feet, for that distance. The great risk of life,
to which the workmen are exposed, makes it
exceedingly difficult for the company to obtain
a sufficient force of hands to prosecute the work
of clearing out the tunnel. The gentleman who
gives US this information says, that the trains
cannot pass through for several weeks to come.
The fall, was not occasioned by the removal of
the timber supports, but was altogether owing
to the gradual giving away of the rock above,
the weight from which eventually became so
great as to crush everything bcneathit.

No. 6.
At half past IL O'clock called at the Courier
office. where had met Mr.. Durrett on two pre-
vious occasions in the morning, and failed to
meet him. was assured that he would DC in
in five minutes. l waited one hour and he did
not come. then went to his house in compa-
ny with his brother, and failed to find him at
home. / was told previously, by his brother,
that he would be at the Courier office at three
o'clock. Alter going TO his house at o'clock
and falling TO find him there, went again to the
Courier office, and not finding him there, con-
cuded to wait until o'clock to meet him at
the Courier office; and, just as started from
jefferson street, at the Club House, between
Fourth aud Fifth streets, heard pistol shots,
and, coming out, l found crowd collected in
front of Andrew Monroes otice-Mr. Prentice
on the pavement and Mr.. Durrctt not TO be seen.
Since the difficulty at Monroes Office, have
called at the Courier office twice, at Mr.. Dur
rctts residence once and at Col. Hinkle's office,
next door to MOnroe's office, where the street
difficulty occurred, for the purpose Of deliver.

Watering Places

People are beginning to find out that fash
ionable wsering places are great humbpgs.
They are ffequen,ed almost exclusively by a
set OF parvenues, whose sole business il seems
to be to dress in "loudest" style, make ofFen-
sive remarks about each other, and, general
ly, TO practice envy, hatred, malice, ard ali
SORTS Of uncharitableness. Sensible and pleas
ant people avoid these places, and 60 to
some qnie. relrest, where they can get some-
thing fiji to eat, and enjoy vacation in
rational manner. We shall find this year the
artisis, authors, and literary and professional
men, with strong spice of the business
community, comfortably and quietly located
BY the sea or mountain side; while the 60.
called fashionable resorts will be almost en-

Evil Speaking.

The following anecdote is rel lated of the
late excellent ]. ]. Gurney, by one who, as
achild, was often one of his family circle:
One night-I remembered it well--I re-
ceived severe lesson on the sin of evil
speaking. Severe thought it then, and
my heart rose in childish anger against him
who gave it; but had not lived long enough
in this world to know how much mischief a
child's thoughtless talk may do, and how
often it happens that takers run off the
straight line of truth. S. did not stand very
high in my esteem, and was about TO
speak further of her failings of temper. In
few moments my eyes caught a look of
such calm and steady displeasure, that
stopped short. There was no mistaking
the meaning of that dark, speaking eye. It
brought the color to my face, and confusion
and shame to my heart. was silent for a
few moments, when Joseph John Gurney
asked, very gravely:
s'Dost thou know any good thing TO tell us
of her 90
l did not answer; and the question was
more seriously asked:
"Think; is there nothing good thou canst
tell us of herw
go, yes know some good things, but"
"Would it not have been better, then, to
relate these good things, than 10 have told
rs that which would lower her in our es-
teem9 Since there is good to rela.e, would
it not be kinder TO be silent on the evils---

knowest.D

Merit aud Position.

The difference between man OF merit
and man of position is this : the latter is
the man of his day, the former is the man
after his day.
There was king in England when Shaks-
peare lived there, aud doubtless every child
in the realm knew his name familiary; but
how many knew The name of the poor play
writer? But now, almost every child who
speaks the English language, knows Of
Shakespeare and his writings. How many OF
them know of James and his writlngs' Very
few. Thus the man Of high position died
with bis position and his day; but the man
of merit only began 10 live when he died.
The author of "Don Quixolie is known by
his works throughout the world; but who
can tell about the men of positlon-the king,
If king-or the mobiles, or the fine gay la.
dies who lived when Cervantes was writing
the adventures of the "Knisht of the Rueiul
Counienance :"
Who was Governor OF Virginia when Pat
rick Henry fred his fellow.men with his elo-
quence? Yet every American boy knows
of Patrick Henry. And yet we think that
the Governor must have been better known
in his day than the orator.
Thus il is: position is thing Of to-day,
while merit is thing Of all time; and when
joined 10 that rarest of lbings-an upright,
bIamsless Christian lfe--it becomes a star
in eternity, never.endirg light in the eter.
nal sky of truth.
