The CESTURY.-We have rarely taken
hold of paper with more good substantial
reading in it than is contained in the Gem
tury. Its editorials are concise and TO the
point They do not appear to be written
so much to make display Of erudition, as
to communicate interesting intelligence Its
plain, common-sense view of matters and
things is worthy of imitation by journals Of
more pretensions Its miscellany is attrac-
tive, its criticisms candid, and, in most in
stances, just-and the whole paper one of
the most readable and instructive published.
We predict for it large circulation.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-Some two weeks
since a young lady, the daughter of one of
our Oldest citizens, in ascending a steep hill,
and while painting for breath, attempted
with her teeth to remove a cookie burr
which had fastened to her glove. The
cookie burr was drawn into her windpipe,
and for several days the family physician
was baffled in his efforts to extract it. In
the meantime the suffering of the young
lady was most acute, and death seemed
nigh unto her After more than II week of
agony on her part and that of her friends,
DIR. Blackmau was called, and, assisted by
Dr. Comegys, he proceeded to open the
windpipe, and fortunately succeeded in re-
moving the cookie burr, and rescuing the
lady from the death with which she was
threatened. We are happy to add that she
she is now out of danger

HsA. The annual distribution of original
paintings by Mr.. George W. Winter, came
off at Spencer Hall, Lafayette, ON Saturday
evening last, and attracted a highly respecta-
BILE and appreciative audience. Hon. Albert
s. White acted as Chairman of the meeting,
and at O'Clock introduced John. A. Stein,
Esq., of that city, who made an eloquent
address of about three quarters of an hour
an length. The following additional par
ticulars we clip from Lafayette paper:
At the conclusion of the address the graft
fcation of the audience was eyinced by a
hearty round of applause, which was subse-
quently repeated on complimentary alm-
sion to the speaker by Mr.. White.
Mr.. Saml G.. Curtis was then called upon
to act as Secretary, and Messrs W. g. Ter
rell, Geo. S. Rose, Judge Test and George
Williams, as judges, 10 conduct the DiStri-
button. The prizes were twenty in num-
ber-many of the most favorable specime rs
of Mr.. Winters manner-valued in the ag-
gregate at ST l04 The number of tickets
was $50, of which l47 remained unsod in
the hands of the artist. Twenty tickets
bearing the names of the prizes, together
with 532 blanks were placed in one box
and the tickets bearing the number of the
certificates in another. A ticket was taken
from each simultaneously, and announced to
the audience, until the entire number was
drawn. The following was the result;

LIABILITY OF RAILROAD CoMPANIEs.-A
judgment was yesterday affirmed at the
General Term OF the Superior Court, which
is of interest to travellers and Railroad Com
panies. a gentleman purchased ticket in
Washington, from general agent of all
the lines through to this city. Whel he
arrived here his baggage was missing, and
he subsequently, sued the little Miami Rail-
road Company for its value, and judgment
was recovered in the Court below. This
was affirmed, upon the ground that the
ticket was recognized by the defendants,
which was sufficient evidence of the author
ity of the agent at Washington. There
was no circumstances 10 show that there
was Il division or separation of contracts as
to the various lines, i'll regard to the trans
portation of the passenger or his baggage

more sufferers from debility among Americans,
than be found among any other civilized ha-
ton. The reason is obvious. We take too little
exercise and forget the wants of the body, in the
absorbing pursuits Of business. In all such cases,
ordinary medicine do little good. What is
qutred is just such tonic and invgorator as DIR.
J. Hostetter has given to the world, in his CELE-
DRAFTED BITTERS. The weak and nervous deni-
zen Of the counting house, the exhausted ioiier
upon the shop board, aud the Frustrated student -"
the midnight lamp, have found a wonderful regcn-
orator in the Btters and prefer to the more pre-
tentous, but less efhcacious, medicines. But it
should not be forgetten that the agent which is so

CASUALTIES ON THE RAILROADS IN MAS

cred from the Annual Railroad Reports, sub
mitted to the Legislature, since 1858
During the five years ending with 1858,
60,476,500 passengers have been carried over
the different railroads in Massachusetts,
Of this number hity-eigM were fatally in
jured in consequence of accidents occurring
upon the roads; hiry-taoo of them through
their own heedlessness, and from no cause
over which the companies had control They
were killed in consequence Of attempting to
get upon, or leaving the train, while in motion,
or by standing on the platform of the cars,
contrary to the regulations of all the roads
