more than all the rest? We watched hin
long from the hight above, as he hewrd away
the fragments, and extrcated the bodies. II
over man deserved reward, it is he.
As soon as the dead were drawn up the
slope they were either put in the cars fo'
conveyance to Hamilton. or were laid In
small house near the bridge. 1t is said thai
one family in the cars. consisting of faith
er, mother and four children, only one OF
the children escaped.
| One of these little ones, girl, about four
years of age, was brought to the house allu
ded TO when we were there. The poor Int
tie creature was smiling prettily, as if she
had been sleeping and dreaming of sweet
things when the accident occurred, and had
been launched into the long sleep of death
before the dream had vanished from bel
mind
At the railway depot, when the sufferers
were brought in, crowds assembled anxious
to hear who were dead. and to know if any
of their friends were there.
The corpses were taken into one of the
large baggage rooms, where CorOners Bull
and Rosehursh proceeded to have them ex-
amined. and when possible, identified. We
give below the list as complete as possible.
AS soon as the intelligence of the catastro-
phe reached the city. Major Booker and
Capt Macdonald's companies of vOlnnte ers
marched to the scene. and every credit is due
to them for their conduct. The pressure of
the crowd had all but forced in the strong
doors of the depot when the artillery com
pany arrived. They formed Gordon a
round the room, which was respected. The
rifles marched on to the brid ge-
Bat a few at time were admitted to view
the bodies. On entering. the first we re-
marked was that Of poor Donald Stuart
Several of those who have sat in the city
Council with this cstimab!e man were around
him, and in tears. This is stronger evil
dence of his worth than anything We could
say
Next lay the Brantford contractors, Mr..
Russell, on whose person was money to the
amount of several thousand dollars: in the
row opposite was Samuel Zimmerman, to
whom railroads have at len 9TH proved fatal.
and near him two children aged one and
three respectively, and her who seemed TO
be their mother.
Men were working up to late hour with
long poles and hooks, cndeavorins to raise
bodies from the water Their labors will
be continued throughout the night.
The cause of the accident will not be fully
ascertained until the engine is raised. We
learn, however. that the reason above given
(breaking Of the axle) is correct so far as
can be ascertained at present.
The mails. of course. have been DELAYED.
Half the bridge is destroyed, and freight
traffic must suffer interruption until it is re-
stored. before which, We should imagine, some
weeks will clapse. Arrangements have been
made for the interchange of passengers.

1t is universally believed that the cause
of DR.. kane's death was exhaustion from ex =
po-ure and disease in the Arctic regions.
by the following communication, however,
which we have received from reliable
source. it appears that the immediate cause
was the bnrs,inc of blood vessel during a
fit of vomiting on the passage from St. Thom-
As to Havana.
THE Philadelphia papers of last week
brought us accounts of the obsequIes of the
late DR.. f. H. Kane. The funeral honors
rendered to his remains in the cities through
whir, they were carried. are such as are
rarely or never rendered to private citizen.
They we're spontaneous tribute to the en-
ergv and skill with which he had discharged
commission fraught with hardships and per-
It's. such As task even the Imagination OF most
OF Us TO realize.
Tha, health and strength slionld fail. and
a constitution already enieeb' ed should have
broken during the voyage, is matter not at
all surprising. DR.. Kane on his return from
his Arctic cruise, labored incessant!y, as 1t
with presentiment OF his approaching death
in preparing the account OF his expedition.
The confinement Necessary to the prepare
tion Of this work, together with the change
from the >everest exercise in the omen air,
aud in the intense cold of the Arctic circle,
to se1entary lie in the climate of Phlladel-
phi,. produced the most disastrous effect up
on his health He had for many years been
affected with chronic rheumatism AMI an en-
iargement OF the heart. During his last win
ter in the polar seas he had acquired scurvy
in addition to his other diseases.
Immediately after the publication of the
details of his voyage. he became severely at
ttcted with trouble in the chest. aggravated
by the scurvv. a change of climate having
been recommended, he sailed for England.
On the passage there, he found that he had
become for tie first time exceedingly senSi-
tive to sea sickness. After his arrival. and
during his residence there, his health was
very much improved. All the symptoms
which troubled him at home had nearly dis
appeared. II was thought best, however
that he should pass the cold weather in the
West Indies. and accordingly he left Liver
pool for *. Thomas, and after short time
sailed for Havana. On this last passage he
suffered much from sea sickness. and while
in the effort of vomiting was seized with ap
oplexv. and was taken in state Of in,ensi
5ility into Havana From this attack he
partially recovered. but was seized on the
10th Of February with second attack ,whicl
he survived only a few DAYS During Iii,
sickness his be lsid. was chrerpd with the
presence of his mo her and two of his broth
ers-wLle the faithful Morton. who perform
ed no inconsiderable part in the perilous
scenes among the ice and dark ness of the 20.
lar winter, performed the part of nurse. |,
is gratifying to know that every attention
which conrd be desired from the Governors
General Of the Island WIS cordially rendered
for his comfort. and every honor paid to his
memory after his death by the Spanish au-
thorities"

Gov. GhARY-The Washington CORES
pondent of the n Y. Herald writes under
date of the 18th -
"Thc President received late last evening
. telegraphic despatch from Gov. Geary. da
ted, St. Louis, informing him that he had re-
signed the GovernorsLp Of Kansas. to take
effect the last of this month. He does moi
state the reasons which have induced him tt
pursue this course, but the President is per
icctly aware what they are. lie has encoun
tered difficulties and embarrassments eve,
since he had the row with Judge Lcconpte
and he asked General Pierce to remove him
lie promised to do it, but never did: at leas,
Gov Geary performs all the functions of hi.
Office in that Territory. Gov. Geaav will b.
here in few days, when the administration
will urge upon him to charge his mird and
90 back and if he desires it Lecompte and
every other office holder in the Territory
who has thrown any embarrassment in hi:
way will be removed"
We should like to be informed whether the
Senate at its late brief session took into con
sideration the appointment made by Presi.
dent Pierce, now months ago, of Mr.. Harri
son, of Ky, in the place Of Judge Lccompte
and if so, why he is not confirmed.
st. Louis. March i7.-rME CAUSE OF
GOVERNOR GrARY's REsIGNATION.-The
Democrat publishes statement relative to
the affairs of Kansas, given by Gov. Geary.-
From it, it appears that the cause Of the Gov
ernor's resignation was the failure of Pres
ilcnt Pierce to fulfil the pledges made at the
time Of his (Geary's) appointment. These
pledges were TO support him with an army
of militia at the. expense of the public
treasury, if necessary; but instead of receiv-
ing this aid, he has paid $4,000 out of his
own pocket. The administration refused
military support under the most urgent cir
cumstances, while he was thwarted by the
judiciary of the Territory in every possible
manner. The Governor states that so men
were under oath from the day he entered the
country till he left it. to assa>sinate him, pro-
vided his ol!icia! conduct did not meet their
appreciation. lie regrets the step which he
has been obliged to take, but feels confident
that, had the promised assistance been rem
dered, he could have administered the affairs
of the Territory III a manner acceptable to
honest settlers Of both sides. In relation to
outrages committed oy slavery men, he
says one half has not been told lie pro-
nounces the murder of BufEum by Hayes, the
most cold blooded and atrocious affair ever
witnessed. His version ofthe Sherrod affair
is similar to those already reported. He saws
however, that the account published in the
Republican over the signature of Jones, is a
tissue of falsehoo'ls. The Governor complains
bitterly Of the distractions and mutilation of
correspondence. lie says the mail bags were
constantly opened and Objectionable matter
to or from him extracted The Governor
thinks the establishment of slavery consti-
tuition inevitable.

THE NEW TARIFF.

An end is made TO the tariff issue ;-one
peculiar to the former Wing party. With
the passage of this bill terminated an era in
our politics. The friends of protection can
never again rally around common standard.
There are other interests and other issues
affecting this great country to which we
will gladly turn. Senator Sumner, although
so weak as to be propped in his chair with
pillows, sat in the Senate Chamber for hours,
and his single vote on two occasions saved
the bill.

A GREAT Wool GRowER-The Man.

thousand pounds of Spanish merino wool to
parties in Boston for sixty cents pound

"Mr. Melvin owns land in this town. in
