DEATH ON THE TRAcK.-Of all the accidents re.

as those which occur from the stupidity of people
who undertake to drive carriages across the track
There have been several such the present year, and
yet, as in the use of camphene, nobody seems to
profit by experience. The Boston Courier relates
the following:
A man by the name of Frederick Crittenden, re.
siding in Wareham, while attempting to cross the
Fairhaven road, between Marion and fremont, at
place called Hammond's Crossing, was instantly killed
yesterday morning as the up freight train pass

jured, but the carriage was complete wreck. The
engineer did not see him till he came directly upon
him. His brother was in another carriage, and had
just preceded him, and says he waved his hand for
him to wait till the train had passed, but it was sup.
posed be did not understand the signs. No blame is
attached to the engineer as he was sounding the
whistle and ringing the bell as usual.

Blondin's Latest Exploit.
From the Buffalo Express Of the 25th we extrac
the following:

the following:
The crowd gathered at the Falls yesterday to wit.
ness another Of Blondin's performances upon the
rope, although large and numbering many thousands
yet been collected and hardly more than twothirds
as great as that Of the last occasion. Blondins per
formanee would have sbeen accounted in the outset
OF these exhibitions marvellous one but after the
great overshadowing and unsnrpassabe feat of last
week. it could not seem very astonishing, nor pro-
duce any very thrilling degree Of interest in the
minds OF the spectators. It was more of curious
and langhable spectacle than an exciting one, and
might be by many preferred to the terribly great
performance of last Wednesday.
Blondin first crossed from the American to the
Canadian shore in manacles; collar about his neck
"a chain pendant to his arms-and two others from
bis wrists to bis ankles: The letters were not very
weighty, and could not have materially interfered
with his performances, added very greatly to the
fatigue OF the journey. During the passage he per.
formed most Of the feats previously

ing his body under it, backward, sustained by the
arms with the elbows bent, etc, all difficult and dar

commonplace and simple.
Thetreturn performance was the most interesting.
After stay of fifteen or twenty minutes upon the
Canadian shore, he started back with a cook stove
swung upon his back, the culinary appurtenances
thereto consisting of saucepan, adle snndry dishes
and pair Of bellows, securely fastened upon the
stove 1t must not be imagined that the stove he bore

he lowered it to the deck Of the Maid of the Mist
where, doubt not it divided into the smallest
possible shares and eagerly treasured by the
gers. Gathering up his hotel Blondin readjusted
it upon his back, and quickly landed himself and it
upon the American shore, amid the loud cheers Of
the throng.

On Monday morning. the 10Th instant, little daugh.
ter of Benjamin Morse, residing near the lower end
of Greenwood Lake, strayed from home, taking to
the mountains. She was not missed until about two
hours afterwards. when search was made, but no
trace of her was discovered. An alarm was raised
and the whole neighborhood turned out, exploring
every nook and corner for long distance around
That night the search was continued with lamps, but
without success On Tuesday and Wednesday the
crowds increased until they numbered three hundred
in ALL divided into thirty forty groups still no
intelligence of the missing child. On Thursday
morning, while Anthony Rhinesmith was conducting
an exploring party in the Burnt Meadow mountains,
about four miles east Of the chd's home he observed
a little one rushing through the underbrush as II
afraid Of pursuit. He sprang to her and soon found
her to be the object Of his search She had subssted
all that time without food and slept the ground.
Her age is three years and seven months Her
parents in despair had given up hope of ever again
seeing their loved alive and suspicion was begin
ming to be directed against neighbor for having de
coyed her off and murdered her. The qualification OF
her parents cannot easily be imagined.

A MELANCHOLY coAsr-A correspondent Of the
New York Times, writing from Nahant, gets of the
following piece Of pretty nonsense:
never saw q coast before that suggested mora
thoroughly an eternal despair than this coast Of Na
hant The clifs are not lofty; the surfs are not 10
grand as some that have but there is an in.
defnable expression Of loneliness and sorrow in the
lineamens Of the rocks. Nature here seems TO have
lost all hope The coast ia furrowed and distorted
like human face torn by some immemoriai misery.
Black and shattered crags sheve ont into the ocean
bearing with the heedlessness Of ruin the ceaseles
buets Of the waves It is this lost aspect that has
made Nahant more interesting to me than any sea
coast have ever visited. Vaguely it seems to tell
some story Of immortal woe. When walking through
the streets Of cities we pass unnoting thousand
happy faces, wreathed in commonplace smiles and
ruddy with Inexpensive health but sometimes in
our path We behold countenance, pale and haggard
and wild, that causes us to stop and turn and look
after it, for it tells unsyabled story Of passion
and struggle and ruin, that interests beyond all the
chubby cheeks and white teeth that ever bloomed
and gIistened. So with Nahant. have sympathy
with its melancholy shores that all the laughing
slopes Of French vineyards or English hilsides could
not awaken. .s- ,-s

SNAKY.-The Huntingdon (Pa.) American Of the
24th inst. tells the following tough snake stnriea

sNAKY.-The Huntingdon (Pa.) American Of the
Oath inst. tells the following tough snake stories
A couple Of weeks ago we noticed the fact that
Mr.. John White, Jr, of this borough, came upon
den Of rattesnakes on Warrior Ridge, and succeeded
in killing four of them. This week we are able to
chronicle snake slaughter that exceeds anything Of
the kind we have heard Of. One day last week,
while Messrs. James Watson and Conrad Buff were
engaged in blowing field belonging to the farm Of
the former in Woodcock Valley about six miles from
this place. they plowed up nest Of snakes, and from
the appearance of the ground, the reptiles made
for safe quarters, in all directions they thought that
they had trespassed upon world of snakes, as the
earth was completely covered for the distance Of sew
eral hundred yards. They Immediately stopped their
horses and made an onslaught on them, and after
about fifteen minutes hard labor counted the killed,
and found that they had the number of eightyttuo-
siXty-two vipers and twenty blacksnakes. We have
before heard Of 80 many snakes being seen and
killed in this neghborhood in any previous season.
Almost every person that travels in the woods reports
having seen one or more of these reptiles.
Since the above was In type, Mr. John Stonebraker,
Of Franklin township, has informed us of snake
story that takes the "spots off" the above, and any
thing we have ever heard in the snake line. Mr..
Hampton, Of the above township, one day last week,
was engaged in quarryng stone, in quarry close to
the turnpike road and observing two or three snakes
lying on rock, he started to kill them, but as he
approached they secreed themselves under the rock
Not wishing them to escape, he got his hammer and
broke off portion of the rock, when he behed den
of copperheads. He procured q club and went to
work at them, and succeeded in killing hundred
and eight He says that as many more got away.
OF the voracity and capacity of the blacksnake, a
letter from Madison county, Ya furnishes the follow
ing instance:
A lady hearing an alarm in her hen house, pro-
ceeded to ascertain the cause and found very large
blacksnake. She sent Immediately for her husband,
who shot its head off, and upon examination found it
contained three eggs, seven chickens, and had swal.
lowed hen as far as the WINGS A few days after
another was killed in the same place, and its body
contained fifteen eggs.
