SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT On Sat-

his gun to the ground with sufficient force to

contents of the gun Cone hundred small shot)
were driven through the roof OF the mouth,
carrying with them iato the brain the upper
teeth and portions of the bone, leaving cavi-
ty large enough to admit of probing with the
finger to the base of the BRAN. Swift fingered
until Monday afternoon. Fs
He was sixteen years old and was the son
of Charles H. Swift, a commission merchant
OF Sacramento city, California. He has spent
the last two or three yenrs in Pittsheld tor

March, been pupil at Mr. Abbotts well.

coincidence, that at the moment when the
accident occurred, the aunt with whom he
resided in Pitts6eld received letter from his
mother, announcing her arrival at New Or
leans in the last California steamer, and her
expectation of reaching Pitts6eld Thursday,
to take home her son and her two daughters,
who have been receiving their education at
the same place.

Some confusion followed, and the Chairman

The Chairman hoped that it would not be

reluctantly yielded. Judge Jessup then NOV

last year, and also that the language was am

last year was not pessed unanimously. The
venerable DR.. Spring, who was beside him.

the Independent was not safe for him to vote
for.
Loud applause and clapping of hands fol.

The mover withdrew the resolution, amidst
much noise and many cries of "Questlon,"

doubt that the Society, in its present form,

WHotRshLR BUToRERY.-We can hardly char
.e,es;ze. by any milder term than this, the
slaughter and mutilatioa of men, women, and
children. on the New York Central Railroad, by
the fr;rhtfuI affair which occurred near Utica. on
Tuesday morning. What sort Of apology or ex-
cuse the managers of that road can make to the
public. for its occurrence, is more than we can
imagine. It seems BY the accounts, not only,
that the timbers were unsound, some Of them
even rotted through. but that its condition was
well known, and had become subject Of public
remark and animadversion in that vicinity II
the criminal law should be sternly administered
to these men, we would not. for any trihiug con-
sideratioa, be placed in their stead And why
should they not be held to all their legal respon-
sibilities. criminal as well as civiii 1t is time
that check should be put 10 this tuhing with
human life, BY those who manage and control the
means of public travel, whether by steamboats, or
railroad trains and we are satisfied that nothing
will ever do it, but ths fear Of the penalty which
will be exacted for wilful neglect mismanage-
meut.
This case, as it appears to us, from pres
emit information, is one of the most aggravated
that as ever occurred in this country. That
bridge should be permitted to be in such condi.
ton, and that two heavy engines should be allow.
ed to cross it at the same moment, would be in
excusable and objectionable, on the most insig-
ni6cant road, but on this, one Of the greatest
thoroughfAres in the country, if not the greatest
of them ALL where thousands are passing every
day, it is doubly so. 1t rich road--the most
successful one in America. Besides making
large regular dividends it has made extra ones
to large amount. SO that it has, probably, well
nigh refunded to the stockholders, its original
cost, with interest thereupon. It has, then, no
ground OF pretence that it cannot afford the most
careful supervision. so that It's condition may al
ways be known to its managers, and no reason
for not keeping tin the most thorough state Of
repair, at all times. and under all circumstances.
We think that the public ought to demand,
and that they will demand, a thorough inyesti-
CATION Of this matter, and that such measures
may be taken as will afford some guaranty to
travellers, in future, that their lives and limbs
shall not be the subject of wanton sport to reck

personal injury will undoubtedly seek and obtain
such poor recompense as money will afford for
