EFFECTS OF THE WAR-The Philadelphia
Norlh American, speculating upon the proba-
BILE effects on this country of the war in Europe
says that breadstuffs already appreciate in
value, and on this point we shall obtain some
small advantage. We have little to spare,
however, and cannot get rich by sending
abroad, because the whole country in the in-
terror has nothing to send. The cotton grow
ing States will be losers by as much as the
grain growing sections will gain. Shipping
will find employment, perhaps, but generally
the effect of the European troubles on us will
be confusing and injurious, rather than to pro-
mote healthy trade.

ESa% The New York and Erie Railroad
Company are now running Sleeping Cars upon
their night trains each way. We examined
one of the cars in use on this road the other
day, and were highly gratifed with the con-
venience and beauty of its arrangement. The
wide guage gives them one advantage which
can be attained on no other road But the
arrangements otherwise are really luxurious
Every possible convenience which ingenuity
can devise are to be found in these cars And
when we say they have been got up under the
superintendent and management of William
Z Rutter, Esq, no ole knows that gentleman
will regard this as too high praise for the work
which comes from his his hands The plan of
the ear is that of Capt. Eli Wheeler of Elmira,
and is acknowledged to be superior to any
other in use

A GOLDEN WEDDING.-Col Joseph Paxton

Iy celebrated their golden wedding. They
were married and have lived in the same quiet
village fifty years, and upon this pleasing
occasion gathered around their table children
grandchildren, and great grandchildren, wor-
thy descendants Of noble sire
Col. Paxton is now seventy three years old
but to look at his noble form and manly bear
ing, and to hear him converse with all the ar
dor and vigor of man Of forty, one would in
deed marvel that Time had laid his hand so
lightly upon him. He is emphatically a self
made man, and some of the best and most i'm
portant improvements of our State are indebt-

for their construction. He has very truly been
styled The Father OF the Catawissp Railroad,

ent mental calibre to conceive such mighty
project, and possessing the perseverance requi-
site to its accomplishment ?-Har. Uaton.

FOREIGN Nkws.-By the arrival of three
European steamers at New York on Saturday
and Sunday, we are placed in possession Of
profoundly interesting intelligence to the Sd
inst. The Austrian troops passed the Sardn-
ian frontier in the night of the 29th ultimo
in three different bodies, amounting in the ag-
gregate to 0,000 men. In the interval be-
tween that date and the latest information
reaching us they had advanced to the river
Sesia and a heavy body, supposed to have a
formidable siege-train in attendance, had ap-
peared before the strongly fortified city of
Casale. No resistance to these movements had
been offered by the Sardinians. In the mean
time the French forces were pouring into Pied
mont, by sea and mountain pass, until more than
$4,000 men were available for the active aid
of Sardinia, whenever the moment of collision
should present itself. The headquarters of
the Piedmontese army was at Alessandria,
where King VICroR Emmanuel, with the two
French Generals, BARAGUAY D'HIuERs and

Miraculous Escape---Man Carried 1)0
Feet above the Earth.

The Wheeling IHfellig"ncrr sobcry relates
the following startling incident II true, it
certainly deserves record as remarkable &C.
cident and escape:
The most fIightful and at the sane time the
most remarkable accident We have ever seen
OIL record, occurred at the Catholic Church,
yesterday morning. Some twenty persons were
engaged in putting up the new bell which ar
rived from Pttsburg the evening before
There was windlasS erected on tn ground, to
which was attached snatch block and shicve
Immediately above the open space in the cupola
to which the bell was to he drawn up there
protruded beam, 10 which was attached
another snatch-block and pulley, and the bell
was TO be conveyed to the top by means OF
strong ropes, working through these shelves by
the power of the windlass al cylinder upon the
ground. The bell had been raised in this way
almost up the open space in the cupo'a, and
the men were just ready to pull it in.
A man named Thomas Newton was below.
engaged in guiding the folds of the rope as it
wound round the cylinder. To do this, he had
firm grasp upon the rope. When the bell
had reached great height from the ground
one of the cogs in the wheels Of the windlaSS
fixture gave way Another revolution of the
wheel ripped off all the cogS the bell fell to
the ground, and Newton who had hold of the
lower end of the rope, was carried up with
frghtful velocity, q distance of one hundred
feet from the ground and about fonr feet above
the aperture where the bell was to have been
taken n For the instant, every one was sur
prised beyond measure, and before those ell
gagged in the work could comprehend what mad
happened Newton, with his hands ali la, Grated
and bleeding, worked himself down opposite re
aperture and called for help to those within.
Bishop Whean, who was on the platform in
the cupola, reached out at the risk of his life
almost, and seizing Newton by the waist, pul
led him from his awful position.
The accident struck everybody with amaze
ment, and all but the eve witnesses were 10th
to believe in the incredulous feat. The bell
weighed three thousand seven hundred pounds
and as it fell without h:ndrance, some idea may
be formed of the rapidity with which Newton
aScended. He says he thought of letting 90
the rope, but before the thought was clearly
defined, be was at the beam, q hundred feet
above He had no time to let go his hold up
on the rope Some cogs and pieces of machn-
cry were hurled distance of two squares from
the church and Mr. Smith, who was stand
ing near, received an ugly wound in the face
from flying particle. Mr.. Newton was taken
to the Office of Dr. Hupp where his wounded
hands were dressed The flesh was all torn
from the palms of his hands, even to the bone,
which is supposed to have been done 10y the
death grasp and his sliding down the rope
during the swift passage into air. Altogether
suppose there is not more startling or remark
able accident, or more miraculous escape on
record.

Hon. G.. A. GROW ON LAND REFoRM.-The
n. Y. Times says that The Flora Fete at
Palace Garden, in aid of the Horticultural
School for females which had been interrupt
ed by the rains Of Tuesday and Wednesday
was revived on Thursday evening, ia all the
glory of its perfumed beauties. The announce-
ment of speech from Hon. GALUsHA A. Grow
the eloquent and popular representative in Con-
greSs from Pennsylvania, combined with the
standard attractions of the Fete, drew togeth
er large concourse of ladies and gentlemen,
who appeared equally delighted with the flowers
the paintings, the music, and the speech. At
s o'clock Mr. GROW assembled the platform of
the large hall of the Garden, and was intro
duced to the audience by Mr. PRICE, who pre-
faced the introduction by few remarks ex-
panatory of the objects of the Festival. He
also read a note from HENRY WARD BEEcHER,
stating prior engagements, and the incemency
of the weather, as an excuse for not speaking
at the Festival on Wednesday evening, and
promising to do so at the earliest opportunity.
Mr.. GROW then addressed the audience iu
an eloquent speech of about forty minutes up
on the sub ject of land reform.
At the close of Mr.. Grows remarks, resolu-
tions were read and adopted approving of the
sentiments of the speaker, and euogizng him
for the firm stand he had taken and the able
manner in which he had supported the princi-
pies of land reform in the Congress Of the Unit

he had done, he severed his head almost entire.
