II is too customary, under the promptings Of
that charity which nobly covers the faults Of the
dead to utter euloges the bier tina, are exrav-

Of the deceased win be sustained by those who

but endcar herself to all who held association with
her. In her death, therefore, society at large Ia,
lost one whom II may well deplore aud her i'm

for our good.
Mrs. Hitter was a member Of tho Christian
Church, for several years prior to her death, ant
led life consistent, at all times, with her higi
profession and whilst we mourn her untimely
loss to us. we have the cousoling consciousness
that, that loss is her eternal gain.

them, IL may be inferred that they will
successfully resist, until large reinforce

A New SECRET POLITICAL PARTY IN
BosToN,-A new secret political party was
organized in Boston last July, we are in
formed, and now has some two thousand
members enrolled in its councils. They
are called "Heart-in- Hand Clubs" and
have branches in nearly every ward in the
city. To enter the door of the "IIeart-
in Hand Club the member gives three
raps; the wicket is then opened, and the
outer guard says: "Who goes there2"
then the password is given, "Tis well, -
with a number of the ticket which the
member has in his possession, to be handed
to the inner guard, and announced aloud
in the hall. On entering, he salutes the
chief presiding officer in the chair, with
his right hand near the heart, and takes
his seat The Heart-in- Hand Clubs have
no initiation fees, and nothing to pay on
being admitted to membership. A vol
untary contribution is taken up weekly,
to pay expenses of the hall, &c. New
members can be admitted by two thirds
vote Of the club, after being proposed by
three members of the club in good stand
ing, and placed on the records for one
week. sour name is our motto" is their
rallying cry.-Boston Herald

COLLISION ON THE RAILRcAD.-Tele-
graphic dispatches were received last night
by Mr.. HI. /. Anderson, Superintendent of
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad,
announcing collision between two trains
on the first curve west of Bass Station, on
Grow Creek, about six miles west of Ste
venson, damaging both engines (the Eakin
and the Houston) considerably, and max
ing a complete wreck of two baggage cars.
The following persons, we learn, were
injured-John Ryman, leg broken Jack
Matt, engineer, ankle broken; G. w. Wash
burn, engineer, leg broken j. Skinner bag
gage master, arm broken. None others
are reported as having been injured.
The break in the rock embarkment, on
the slope of the mountain near Tantalon,
not being repaired yet, transhipment CT
passengers and baggage has to be made at
that place, which required more than the
usual time in the present case, and caused
a corresponding detention of the eastward
train, thus putting it behind time. No
train being expected from Chattanooga, the
upward train proceeded as usual, when the
collision occurred as mentioned above.
The telegraph not being in working or
der to Chattanooga, it has not been ascer-
tanned why the downward train was de-
spatched, as but one train is kept running
on that part of the road. Union and

WASHINGTON. Dec. IL.

Walker will, according to the assertions
of his most intimate friends, soon withdraw
altogether from the Governorship of Kan
sas, and will, in rendering his resignation
to the President state his reason for this
course, designing, however, not to use any
language which may have tendency to
disturb their present friendly personal re-
lations.
Judge Douglass bill, although similar
in its details to that of Toombs, contains
an additional clause That the constitu-
ton, when formed by the convention shall
be submitted entirely to the people of
Kansas"
Senator Gwinn has a large number of

that he was not driven out of Nicaragua

sentative of the policy of President Pierce
