FATAL ACCIDENT AT AN ELECT MEETING
One Nan Killed and .Screrdi Dangerously Havt
One Hundred and f1ty Persons Precipitlted
Through Tro Fcors.--On Wednesday evening
last an incident occurred at an election meeting
in Tilsenburg which, We regret to say has been
attended with fatal results. 1t appears. from the
details that have reached US. that the meeting
called bv the friends Of pr connor, and that just
~ Mr. Foley was about retiring. after occupying
the attention of the audience for several hours the
floor in the upper part Of the room suddenly gave
way, carving with it about one hundred and fiji
ty people.
The floor underneath proved itself unequal to
Withstand 50 great and sudden weight, and
that, too instantly gave way. prcclpitatlng the
unfortunate sufferers into the room below making
a total fall Of some twenty four feet. The scene
that ensueI i, is impossible to describe. mass
of human beings in imminent danger of smother
ing. and for II few moments incapable otrecelvlng
any assistance, lay in darkness, groaning unde r
bruises and broken limbs and all that had not be-
come inscnsible from the fall madly end"ayoring
to extrcate themselves.
The news of the calamity spread like wildhre,
and in few minutes wives and sisters were fran
tically calling on husbands ard brothers who were
known to be among the sufferers. Aid was not
long in arriving and the whole community turned
out with a speed and zeal worthy all common
dation Mr.. Smith, the Reeve of Dereham, and
Mr. Van Norman were honorably conspicuous for
the energy they manifested on the OCCASION al.
though scores Of others emulated them in the good
work.
The result of these labors of mercy was the ear
lly extrcation Of the sufferers. many of whom were
taken out with other injuries than severe
fright, and few unimportant bruises. Others,
however, perhaps to the number of nearly thirty,
were very severely contused-some indeed, it is
feared, fatally. 1t is painful duty to add that
in the case of one person, when taken out, life
was found to be quite extinct. The person whose
earthly career has been thus suddenly closed was
Mr.: Hopkins, carpenter Toronto Leader Sat
urddy.

English and American Railroads.

In our former articles on this subject, we have
shown that though the original cost OF European
Railroads was greater than with us, yet, in fact
they were cheaper in the end. They are construct

management and repairs fall far below what we

WHIPPED AGAIN.-The Governor of Missouri,
X. NJ. Stewart. has been again logged We are
ashamed to say it, but justice to the man who
logged him and the truth of history demand that
the affair should be made public. The deplorable
disaster to His E1cellency occurred during his re-
cent visit to his old stamping ground. st. Joseph
and for the account Of it we are indebted to the
journal Of that city The fight came of in bar
room the Governors antagonist was German
Doctor named Erdmsnn; the cause of the fight was
the Governors insolence; and the result to his Ex-
cellency was a scratched face and bunged eye
We think it high time for.Stewart to resign his
Office and gvie place to some man who is better
hand in a "scrimmage." He is a disgrace to the
State. His repeated 1oggins have furnished thee
escutcheon of Missouri. He was whipped once
just before his election, and has been whippee
twice since. If this thing is allowed to 90 on, h,
will soon be q used-up man, and we shall have II,

MURDER OF STEr-FA1nER.--A correspondent
Of the st. Louis Republican, writing from Lima.
Illinois gives the suhiolned account OF n terrible
murder committed in that vicinity:
a man named l!andlcy was killed near this
place yesterday Sunday, by his step-son
youth about II years If aye. lIandley and his
wife, the mother by former husband Of Bradley

RACED Il few weeks since. llandley leaving the
house, but not the neighborhood. On Yesterday,
Sunday, the latter an old man, returned to the
Ii >use and an alteration took place among them,
the youth siding with the mother. A fight ensued
between the men, in which Bradley drew y small
bowie-knife dagger, and made deadly stab in
the right breast OF his stcp-tather from which the
latter died in 10 or 20 minutes. On arrival at
the scene Of the tragedy. wo found him lying dead
on the ground about hundred yards from the
house, covered with quilt and his head support
ed by pillow. Immediately after making the
stab, the youth. frightened almost out of his wits
10y the flow of blood which was very great and
the idea of having committed the crime of murder,
mounted an unsaddled horse and came at full
speed to town for assistance. On our way out, he
picked up the fatal knife where he had thrown it
by the side of the road. and showed it to u.s. There
WIS blood upon it. About quarter of II mile on
this side of the place where the homicide was
committed we met some men coming from it,
Hoping that he had not made mortal thrust
with the knife, Bradley, much asitated and with
great anxiety, inquired how II. was. "Oh, dead
and cold long ago was the nonchalant reply
from the person addressed. A tremor shook the
young mans frame aud the blood in terror fed
from his face as, drawing deep inspiration, he

RAILwAys.-rherc are. in different parts of the
world, now open to the exigencies of trade and
travel, about $4,000 miles Of railroad, Of which
Great Britain has about 1000 miles, and the rest
of Europe about 81 900 miles, leaving to the Uni
ted States and Canada about % eco miles. Great
Britain has expended for her railway system no
less than Sl.565, 100000, about So for each in
habltant. Some idea oil the immensity of this
vast system of trade travel locomotiou may be
CLEANED by the following statements: If all the
gines in use in Great Britain Ike supposed to be
concentrated into one engine; which should have
run twelve months, it would have passed over
10000, 900 Of miles, which, if the engine had only
made 80 miles per hour. would have required no
less than three years, moving night and day. Not
less than two and a hail miles of railway are
stantly covered by trains. To control the motion
of these there required less than 5000 loco
motive engines The total number of cars is not
less than $50 900. Admitting the average length
to be twenty feet and if these trains were linked
together, the whole would cover the New York and
Eric Railroad from end to end. and leave enough
spare to cover the road from Cincinnati to
llamiltor-some 500 miles in all. One hundred
and eleven millions of passengers pass over these
roads during the year. at an average distance of
twelve miles mach, or for one man ,332, DOC, 600
miles, or enough to carry man to the sun and
back no less than seven times every year. To the
people of Great Britain there is thus saved, in the
time of travel no less than SO 900 years every
twelve months, and in money, at fair rate, SILL

REMARKABLE EyENT-Eight sisters the youngest
more than sixty years ofage, worshipped together
in the South Church, on last Sabbath, for the first
time in many years. Here they sat together in
their childhood and YOUTH here their father, a
venerable citizen who died many years ago, was
one ofthe pillars of the church; and here rath-
or in tho old house which stood near, they were
baptized in their infancy by the Rev. DIR. Hopkins,
of revolutionary fame. The sisters have been long
separated, in distant parts of the country, one of
them having been resident of Virginia, and il
was a memorable circumstance to meet once more
together in the pew which they formerly occupied.
