FRIoHTrUL RAIL ROAD DISASTER
A terrible disaster occurred on the Great
Western Railway, near Hamilton, Canada,
a few days since, by which from 80 loo
lives were lost. The passenger train going
West, ran of the track just before reach
ing the draw bridge over the Canal ano
plInging with headlong force upon The
bid e, the whole structure gave way, pre-
eipi5ating the onti.e train into the water
sixty feet below. Such Of the passengers
as were not instantly killed, were terribly
INITIATED. This IS undoubtedly the most
frishtful Railroad disaster that ever. occur
red on the American Continent. It is
said the bridge ives ina misernblo con6i-
ton, and the TACT was we'll known to the
officers Of The company. lfso, they should
be severly punished.

les of coal which underlie the surface Of a
large portion of the globe, have afforded
much speculation as to its origin. On thi;
subject biologists have hitherto widely
differed, some ascribing to coal vegetable
some mineral, some animal, and others an
atmospheric origin. DIR. David Dale @

Of The present day is not believer in the
theory Of a vegetable origin Of coal, but il

coal is the condensation or the solidifica-

Support animal life. 1t was the gradua

Mr.. John 6. Smith, of Madison, Wis.

speeding the expectation Of droves of slaves
from Virginia and Maryland to the cotton

G Some meteorologists assert that
there are cold AMI warm cycles, which re-
turn about every forty and fifty years, the
winters getting more and more severe, til!
they reach maxium, when they begin to
grow milder. A German man of science,
who has carefully observed tie weather for
a long period, maintains that the last half
of each decade IS colder than the first. If
The main theory is true, that there are
cold and warm cycles, it explains why our
fathers have been telling us until lately,
4hat there were no such winters now-a-
days as when they were boys Old people,
however, say this no longer; they ada1it
that the winters are quite cold again; and
that is, most decidedly, our humble opin-
ION.

much disturbed by tie evidence of Gov.
GEARY which was published in the St
Louis Democrat, that their organs are now
denying, that he ever uttered what is re-
ported in the Democrat. To this asser-
ton, the Democrat esponds:
Gov. Geary and his Private Secretary
came to this office unsolicited by us, ana
voluntarily, in the presence of five or SIX
gentlemen, gave utterance not only to all
we have put in his mouth, but a great
deal more that we did not find room to
publish, and which oar pen could not, BY
any possibility, have oolored SO highly as
did the words of his tongue. lie spoke
freely, fully, and most Indignantly Of the
outrage of the Pro Slavery faction in Kan
sas, their mail rob5eries, their murders,
their legislative and judicial denominations,
and declared that heneeforward the "pad-
lock should drop from his lips, and the
whole truth should be made known" We
have no apprehensions that Gov. Geary
will deny any of our statements.

TEMPERATURE OF THE EARrH.-Scien--
tifc Investigations have been made con-
corning tie temperature of tie interior of
the earth. The existence Of hot-water
springs, and the recurrence of volcanic e.
Iruptions, have always pointed at q certain
fact. Now it is well established that the
effect Of the suns rays does not penetrate
more than fifty feet. After that, the tenn
perature, wlich has been regularly dimin-
ishing, increases at the rate Of about one
degree, FAIR, for every IS yards Of de-
scent. Then water must be wholly con-
verted into steam at the depth Ct two
miles; lead must melt at u depth Of six
miles; gold at a depth of twenty n,i,es;
cast-iron, at the depth OF about twenty-five
miles; and at depth Of less than fifty
miles, the very rocks must be in Il state Of
fusion, or like flowing lava. The solid
crust Of the earth, according to this calcu-
ation, is only the one hundred and six
tieth part of It's diameter; and bears about
the same relation thereto as the shell OF
an egg does to its bulk

The BEGINNING OF WHAT Is TO Come. -
The following from the Chicago Democrat
shows that the federal officers are prepared
to resist the laws of Illinois. The conflict
between state and national authority will
come soon.
The encroachment upon state rights and
state sovereignty is not confined alone to
til esupreme court; but the district Judges,
catching the spilit Of federalism whicl, per
ivales the dominant party, are attempting
to do their part in This business. We un-
derstand that the Judge Of this district
and probably those Of the others haze done
the sanc--llas issued orders to marshal DC,
TO pay no regard to any writs issued in the
state courts--thus leaving the citizens with
out remedy, save shat which the dist. ict
Icourt may, in its graciousness, grant
These things call for state elton to an ex-
tent that will let the federal judiciary know
that the states are sovereign on their own
soil, and that the federal officers exercise
their functions within their jurisdiction on
lily by suffrage.

If You find Master Jack no longer pays
the attention to the solids of the dinner

Of his first love occasions it.
If Jack becomes satircal and alludes 10

If you find a pocket edition of Byron

Jacks far gone in his first love.

If you see Jacks finger ends rather inky,
and scraps Of an acrostic anywhere round,
be assured that first love has caused the
spelling Of some good stationery.
Finally, if Jack is suffering from the first
love, don't be hard on the poor fellow, and
above all, don't meet the complaint with
the strong remedies, lest it strike in, and
Jack strike out from parental authority
First love is like The whooping cough-we
