RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-We learn by gen

9th, inst, an extra train on the Passumpsic
Railroad, was run to Wells River, to carry
passengers to a Circus near that place, and
on its return in the evening, when about one
mile north of St. Johnsbury depot, the Engine
struck stone weighing about 200 lbs, :,
which had been rolled on the track, evidently
with intent to throw of the train. The en-
gire, after moving the stone 80 feet, was
thrown of, and tho fireman had one leg so
severely injured, that amputation was neces-
sary,-and was performed. He was other
wise injured. No others were seriously hurt.

gress, under the most auspicious circumstances.
Yesterday morning We listened TO an address be-
fore the Phiiomathesian Society by Or. Holland
Of Springfield, Mass. The speaker announced his
su0jeo As "Art and Life making art the ex-
preston Of life, and lite the end Of art. It was
very elegant and able presentation Of his view Of
the subject, which, however. we lannot help
thinking far TOO low We can hardly consent to
suoh q deblsemeat Of the Beautiful as 10 make her
a mere lacquey 10 the Useful. In spite Of Dr.
Holland we must believe that beauty has an end
in itself just as much as truth or goodness Aside
from this the oration was masterly effort We
were especially pleased with his showing up Of
the utter absurdity Of all conyentionalisms, OF
schools or so-called rules of criticism in all true
art Dr. Hollands manner is very pleasing and
impressive, aud secured for his address what few

Dr. Poster of Lowell, addressed the Philadeiphi-
ans 90 a Living Theology as source ofthe Orators
power In developing his subject he showed its
absolute necessity for securing to the true orator
what he especially needs,-religious belief logical
thinking, simplicity of style and aim, freedom in
thought and action, and loyalty to truth and God
Although not possessed # good delivery, his ad-
dress was very we'll received. The choir singing
on the occas on wa. worthy Of especial praise.
