ny Of the accidents which happen to poraona
attempting TO cross railroads are the result
Of Ignorance Of the velocity Of the iron horse
when fairly under way.
II man with horse and carriage upon on
unimportnnt public road in country town,
should approach and cross the track at a
speed Of six miles per hour, which would be
crossing rapidly an express train approach.
ing At ,he rate Of sixty miles an hour would
move toward him two hundred ard fity-
seven feet while he was in the act Of crossing
a distance barely sufficient to clear the horse
aud vehicle. IL the horAn waA moved at a
rate no faster than n walk, as tho track IL
usually crossed. the train would move tow
ard him while in the net Of crossing more
than five hundred feet. This fact accounts
for the very many accidents at these pla-
ocs.

A Little Delay Fatal.

1, is well known that Julius Crsar might
hayh escaped assassination in the Senate
Chamber, Il he had read deliberately a letter
put into his hands by one informed of the
conspiracy, The same fact is true OF one or
two French mnnarchs Who pcfished by tie
assassn's knife. But the DELAY of a few
hours to open these important letters render
ed the escape impasAlbis- We have never
seen the following incident before, but il is
vouched for by DR.. MeChesncy, OF Trenton,
rclinble authority
"The success Of Washington, at Trenton,
has been generally considered AZ the turning
point in the war OF our Independence. Yet,
few are perhaps aware upon how slight an
event this great critical action was made TO
hinge. On the Christmas eve when Wash
ingtuu crossed the Delaware, Colonel Rahl,
the commander Of the llessians, sat in n pri-
vate room near Trenton, engaged IN drinking
wine and playing cards. a tory who had
discovered the movements of the American
troops. sent note by a special messenger td
the Colonel, with orders TO deliver il into his
own hands. The messenger found his way
10 the house, and negro opened the door,
but refused him ndmittapce. took the letter
and. delivered il the Colonel, who was Just
shutting for new game. Supposjug the
letter TO be unimpottant, or not stopping TO
think at all, he went on with lis play. The
reading Of the letter would have thwarted
the design Of Washington. But the love of
play conquered the Colonel's prudence and
gave success to a worthier cause, involving
the loss OF his life and army, and ultimately
the freedom Of the colonies.
Little did the Colonel think, when he was
shuilling the cards, that he was losing the
greatest game that was ever played among
the nations Of the world"

per, and praying the Court to pass an order for her
confinement in an asylum at the expense of the

paupers, and the State therefore compelled to
support them at an expense of $3.50 each. He
would hereafter insist upon trial in every case,

clans before the jury, to satisfy them of the cond
ton of any party whose case was brought to the
notice of the Court.
