HE STORM AND THE NORFOLK COUNTY
RAILRoAD.-The train on this Road, left Bos-
ton at o'clock, 1.-THE usual time on Tues
day afternoon, for Blackstone. The cars were
preceded by two engines and snow-plow.
Soon after leaving the city, the train began to
through with considerable difficulty. At 6
O'Clock, the train had reached City Mills,
Franklin, where, in attempting to push through
an immense drift, both engines became dis
abled the train could neither be moved back
ward or forward and after fruitless labors by
all hands, including the passengers, the un.
pleasant conclusion was reached, that the train
and all in it, must remain there for the night.
And remain they did each person, among
them several ladies, Willing away the dreary
hours as he or she best could. The CONVEX
sation and scenes are described to us as highly
ludicrous.
Our informant Wednesday morning left the
embargoed train and walked to Blackstone, a
distance of twelve miles, through the trackless
snow. He reached Blackstone nearly as soon
as did MIR. Farnum, the Agent of the Road
who proceeded from Franklin in sleigh drawn
by four horses.
A train left Blackstone Wednesday noon
with gang of laborers to shovel out the track
In the "cuts," the snow is level with the banks
and it was thought the work could not be com
pleted on that day.

His services were no longer OF use, and hence
forth he must be burden to his master, whom
the law compels to support him.
But, leaving such questions, and passing
from South Carolina INTO Georgia, we find
nothing but corn and cotton fields, containing
only the stalks and stems of the last crop. We
ind, however, many Improvements going on,
on all sides, the result of the abundant crop of
last year. 1t is well known that the last crop
was the largest and most profitable known here
for many years, and, as a consequence, the
planters now feel pretty rich, and able to i'm
prove their estates. The North, too, is made
much richer in consequence, for the business
OF the North depends more on the prosperity of
the South than most people imagine. Espe-
cially, is the influence of an abundant crop felt
in New England, and other manufacturing dis
tricts.
In this city, where the amount of cottou sold
scarcely ever reaches sixty thousand bales,
sixty-five thousand bales have already been
sold, and it is believed that over one hundred
thousand bales are to be sold during the sea-
son: Much more cotton passes through here
than is sold here. Indeed it is not great cot
ton'mart. 1t is principally city of supply for
Southwestern Georgia, furnishing the people
of that section with their bacon, flour, rope
bagging, and whiskey. The business which
is done here, in that way, is immense, for a
city of only ten thousand inhabitants.
Besides the trade of this city, there is a very
large cotton mill, here ofhow many spindles
am unable to learn.
The railroads, which centre here, bring an
immense local trade to the city, from Northern
Georgia. The roads are, the Macon and
Western, Macon and Southern, and the Cen
tral. The former of these roads has been
much under the management of Massachusetts

BURNT OFFERINGS. THE New York AL
blon, in speaking of the sad fate of two Eng
llsh ladies who recently lost their lives by their
dresses taking fire, says they were "burnt Of
terings to the Moloch of Fashion" 1t adds;
"The last English mail brings the sad intel
ligence, that Lady Lucy Bridgman has follow
ed her sister, Lady Charlotte, to premature
grave, victims both to the habituai careless
ness with which a costume, dangerous in il
self, is worn by the fashionably clad Great
must have been the gloom fallen upon Weston
Hall, in Staffordshire, the seat of the Earl of
Bradford, since the night when these two
daughters were suddenly transferred from the
gay insouciance of drawing room to beds of
agony, thence to be moved only to the family
mausoleum Is it not also strange coinci-
dence that the grandmother of these young Ia
dies, the late Lady Elizabeth Moncrief. lost her
life by similar catastrophe, not many years
ago? And to this sad tale may still be added
another, drawn from the same walk in life. A
few weeks ago, ut Brighton, the Hon Miss
Plunkett, daughter of Lady Louth, ignited her
dress while standing before the fire. She was
dreadfully burnt. Terrible suffering in such
cases is certain; recovery is very rare Hers
is considered doubtful. When Clara Webster,
on the English stage, and Caroline Lehman,
OF Niblo's, in this city, pershedby accidents of
this distressing nature, the peril was, perhaps,
thought to be. incidental to the profession.
Can there be the same delision now 2"

MIR. BEECHER ON THE VIoIIN.-Master
Mallaratt the Brooklyn boy who was sent TO
Europe by the members of Henry Ward
Beecher's Sunday School, to obtain complete
musical education, is doing well. AT a concert
lately given under the auspices, OF Mr.. II. w.
Hill, of the Royal Italian Opera, he performed
very difficult solo on the violin, 18th air with
variations, De Beriot,) of which the London
Musical Critic says: at was played in a style
that augurs brilliant future for this interest
ing boy, now only thirteen years of age. He
was e"c9red 1t appears that some of Mr..
Deechers congregation were shocked at the
1dea OF the boy playing the fiddle" Mr..
Deecher, however, In recent sermon publicly
announced the boys success, and INDUCED in
me Perorauon upon the heavenly music that
couid be produced from violn-an instru-
iheht whlch was alluded to by some eminent
hymn-wrlter, whose name escapes us, in the
following couplet:
ooh, may my heart be tuned within,
Like Dayid's solemn violin.n
MIR. Robert St@pel has composed the music
Ior a cantata, In fourteen parts, the Gbretto of
which is Longfellow's "Hiawatha." This mu
seal novelty is to be produced in the Boston
Iheater on the evening of the 9Th inst, with
competent solosts, the chorus of the Handel
and haydn Society, and an orchestra of fifty.
The readings are to be given by Matilda Heron.
The selections are carefully and iudiciously
made, and sufficiently preserve the continuity
OF the story. Their musical treatment is full
OF taste. Melodies of various character. and
some OF extreme beauty, abound. The few
choruses are ingenious and effective, and the
whole work eyinces great originality.
Herrman-Leon, favorite baritone of the
Opera ComiQue, fell suddenly dead of apo

form at the opera. Wishing to rejoin his com
Famous, he omitted to put ON rouge, and his ap-
pearance ON the stage was so deathlike that
the sympathles Of the audience were awakened.
and they demanded the substitution of another
performer. Leon thanked them, and feebv
tottered OFF the stage, leaped into cab, and in
few moments was enjoying his dinner with
his friends VAN
The noted vocalist, Madame Annie Bisbon
after more than ten years absence from Emo

hundred picked voices. 1t is thought that its
performance will produce quite sensation in

WORCESTER CITY AND COUNTY.

Mr. PRENTICEs LEcTURE.-George d. Prentice,
Esq, editor of the Louisville tky.) journal, gave
the third lecture of the before the Mechanics
Association, at Mechanics Hail. last evening. The
hall was crowded TO its utmost capacity. The sub
Ject of Dlr. Prentice's discourse was the Present
Aspect of American Politics." and he handled it in
his peculiarly eloquent and poetic vein. He dwelt
very long, and in the strongest language upon what
he termed the gross sectionalism, fanaticsm dema-
goguesm, and corruptions, of the politicians of the
time, nearly all of whom, he said, were men who
acted only for themselves without the least regard
for the public interests. The antpathy of feeling
between the North and The South was stated in the
most glowing language, bordering upon the extrav-
agant. The corruptions and demagogueism of the
politicians, whom he termed creatures of the popu-
lar breeze, looking for their principles only to the
will of the accidental majority were portrayed in
the most vivid colors The Union was described as
in decidedly perious condition y in consequence
OF these evils, and he thought it could not possibly
survive them, unless remedy was speedily APP
Piled 90. That remedy he described as consisting
in an appeal to the patriotism and virtue of the
ing generation, who should strive to bring back the
administration of the government to the pure prn-
ciples and practice of its founders
Probably Mr.. Prentice's temperament which is of
very ueclueu melanchonc cast, inclines him to
look too much upon the dark side of subject and
his briliancy of imagination and poetic fervor I'M
