Particulars OF the Death OF Judge Burnside.

Particulars OF the Death OF Judge Burnside.
When. last Wednesday, Hon. james Burn
side, President Judge OF this District, left our
town, We little dreamed that in one week VIC
would be called upon to announce his death,
brought aboUt in most appalling manner. 1t
seems that on Friday evening, whilst enjoying
the society of bis family and friends, in front
OF his residence in Bellciontc, buggy, con-
tanning his sister, Mrs. Mann, and her son.
drove up to the door. The horse, being fine
one, was admired, and ride was proposed to
Judge Burnside. He at first refused on the
ground that the horse had that day broken a
buggy and was not safe, but his sister having
remarked that she thought he had spirit e.
nough to ride where she was not afraid to, he
entered the buggy, and whilst his nephew was
untying the hitehing strap, the horse started,
at furious speed down the street, towards
Spring creek. The Judge caught up the reins,
but was unable to check the career of the
horse, and as he made the turn up the street
leading to the Lewistown turnpike, the right
fore wheel of the buggy bursted, and the
spokes falling out, let the buggy fall on the
point of the axle. The Judge was thrown out
with much violence on his head and chest,
causing conclusion of the brain, and a flow of
blood from the ears, from which instantaneous
death ensued, in the sight of his wife and rel
atiyes. His watch was detached from his per-
son by the force of the fall-the case lodging
In one place, and the works in another-and
stopping, told, If correct, that the time of the
SOULS departure from its earthly tabernacle,
was 30 minutes of eight O'Clock. Many events
may have occurred in Bellefonte to impress
upon the minds of men the uncertainty of life
and the certainty Of death. but never has any
thing occurred that SO much appalled,, and
cast such general gloom upon, the people of
that place, and the large circle of acqpaintan-
ces and friends of Judge Burnside in the
nelghboring counties.
His remains were inferred on Sunday IN the
beautiful cemetery near Bellefonte, followed
by at least 1900 to 1000 persons, at about o.
CLOCK, p. m The funeral sermon was preach
ed In the forenoon by Rev. Mr. Field in the
st. Johns Episcopal church. His Honor, A.
S. Wilson, of the Miflin district, twelve men,
bers of the Clinton Bar, a delegation from the
Clearfield Bar, accompanied by Hon. James
T. Leonard, and the members of the Belle
fonte Bar, were in attendance at the funeral.
Hon. Simon Cameron, the father of Mrs. Burn
side, and all the Judges relatives were present.

CAMBRIA DEMoCRACY.-Thc Democrats of
Cambria county have nominated Augustin Dur
bin for the Senate Daniel Litzinger for the
Assembly Jos. N Donald for Prothonotary,
and Philip S. Noon for District Attorney.
The Johnstown Echo, published by G. n.
Smith, formerly the Democratic member in
the Legislature, makes the following remarks
IN regard to the ticket:
ssFrom the above nominations it would ap-
pear that Ebensburg has been highly favored,
in getting an undue proportion of the candi-
dates. The fault, however, is not with EbenS
burg, as large majority of the Democrats of
that place did what was right. and wished TO
nominate fair and good ticket.
ssWc believe a majority of the candidates
nominated are determined to decline, and ask
for re-asscmB bling of the Convention, that
an opportunity may be afforded to correct the
great error thatha been made, by nominating
a ticket that will meet the appreciation of the
people and merit their hearty support"
This sounds like rebellion. What does it
mean? Surely the Democracy of Cambria
cannot seriously mediate rebellion against the
DEGREES of tie party! When faithful little
Cambria bolts, what may we next expect to
hear and see

TERRIBLE AecIDENT.-A frightful accident
occurred to a train on the Michigan and South
crn Railroad, near South Bend, on the 2Sth
June, by which from thirty to thirty-five per-
sons were killed, and 4 number wounded.
The accident occurred at a point where the
road crosses culvert, the stream over which
it was built had risen very hight ,and masses of
drift wood choaked up the culvert, causing the
water to be damned up around it, and to
weaken the embankment. The night train
from Chicago to the East was proceeding at
moderate rate of speed, when its weight caus-
ed the weakened culvert and embankment to
give way, and the whole train was plunged
into the flood. The horrors of the situation,
in the darkness and the flood with the screams
of the suffering, crushed and drowning pas
sengers, cannot be described. There were
about one hundred and fifty passengers on the
train. and at the last accounts there had been
thirty-four bodies recovered. But others were
missing, who are supposed to have been drown
ed, The number OF wounded Is about oo.
