SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THR DEL. RAILROAD.
On Saturday evening last, as the down train
was approaching the Blackbird Station, a
drunken man named William Pierson, attemp-
ted to cross the track in front of the locomo-
tive, when he was caught by the cow-oatcher
and thrown on the rail under the wheels, by
which his left foot and ankle were crushed
almost to jelly the bones of the leg were
also broken high up, and the fingers Of his
right hand badly crushed. DR.. Daley, of
Smyrna, assisted by DR.. Clawson, amputated
the leg, below the knee, and a portion of the
injured fingers. The unfortunate man is doing
as we'll as the circumstances will permit with
every prospect of recovery. No blame what
ever can be attached to to employees of the

ting as a two-edged sword and without any
apparent effort on his part.
When young man, he served twelve years
of his time to the butchering business alias
soldering. One time when his vessel was
lying in the port of New York, he and many
Others, amused themselves by going ashore
and indulging in the excesses of the great
City. At nights, they did not consider it any
extra debauchery to drink like boon compan-
ions usually do; to use profane language as
polite society is accustomed to, and to gam
BILE with the adopts of the times. In fact he
did everything that was fashionable. After
six nights of this kind of debauchery he
thought, for variety, he would go to church
and consequently repaired to one of the fash
ionable places of preaching. There was
rather fine congregation present, and things
moved on smoothly until the singing time
came, when the minister announced that they
would sing the praises of the Lord in such
and such hymn. The music was excellent,
and the young sailor was constrained, out of
curiosity, to raise up his eyes and look to-
wards the gallery where the choir was dis
coursing such sweet sounds, when 10 and
to his astonishment, he beheld his boon
companions of the midnight bachanal were
the praisers of the Lord. The idea struck
him that it did not look consistent for the
saints below to call on the devils above to
praise the Lord for them. 1t is fashionable
for religious denominations to hire persons,
with good voices, to do their singing, without
regard to their characters.
