About fifteen minutes after the ac-
cident, an engine and tender from Cope
town came along on the way to Hamil-
ton, and it was with great difficulty
that the men on them were made ac-
auainted with the state ofthings, intime
to prevent them from running into the
sleeping car, and throwing it over on
the rest of the cars. As it was, they
came within few rods. This engine
went back and got a freight car, into
which the most seriously injured were
put and taken to Copetown. The rest
remained at the scene of the accident,
waiting for relief from Hamilton, whith-
er the surviving brakeman had been
despatched to notify the railroad au-
thorities. We stayed on the spot, ex-
posed to the storm, till O'clock, when a
train arrived from Hamilton and took
US to that place. Such baggage as
could be found was also carried to Ham
ilton, but the railroad authorities would
not allow any of the passengers to
touch it, and every body-ladies and
children as well as the men--was obi
ged to await the arrival of a govern
ment officer to inspect the various arti-
cles."

In his speech of the 18th of January
which may be regarded as his farewell
speech in Congress, concludes with the
following paragraph:
Mr.. Chairman, from childhood Ihave

their love of justice, their devotion to
liberty. The great American heart
beats in sympathy for the; oppressed

TIE popular voice demads the exercise
of our constitutional powers to drive
oppression from our territories, from
our ships while sailing upon the high
seas, from this district; to exclude il
from all allsupport by Congress, by the
Executive, by our courts; to condemn
it as an outlaw !; and that the Legitimate
powers OF Government sliall.be exerted
for Freedom. Give the people an op-
portunity, and they will elect Presi-
dent and Vice-President, Senate and
House of Representatives, pledged not
merely to these purposes, but to put
forth the moral influence of our nation
to drive oppression from the earth.

a young man meets pretty face in
the ball room, falls in love with il. goes
to house keeping with it, and boasts of
having home and wife to grace it.
The chances are nine to ten he has
neither. The pretty face gets to be an
old story, or becomes faded, or fretted;
and as the face was all he wanted, all
he paid attention to, all he sat up with,
all he bargained for, all he swore to
love, honor and protect, he gets sick of
his trade, knows a dozen faces that he
likes better, gives up sitting at home
evenings, consoles himself with cigars,
oysters and politics, and looks upon
his home as4a very Indifferent boarding
house. A family of children grow up
about his; but neither he nor his efaee''

Anecdote of General Washington.

During sixty years residence in New
Y ork, 1T was my custom when the
birthday OF Washington came round,
to get the following anecdote inserted
in one or two of the daily papers. A
good story is not the worse for being
twice told, nor good sermon the
worse for being twice read. In 1876,
/ heard the farmer referred to, MARIA
ting the following incicent: Said he
g When the British army held posses
sion of New York, and Washington
with the American army lay near
West Point, one morning went out
at sunrise to bring home the cows. In
passing clump of bushwood | heard
a moaning sound like a person in dis
tress. On nearing the spotI heard the
words of man at prayer. / listened
behind tree. The man came forth
it was George Washington, the captain
of the Lords host in North America. y
This farmer was member of the
Society of Friends, who, beng opposed
to war under any pretext, was luke
warm, and in some cases opposed TO
the cause of the country. This farmer
was a tory. However, having seen
the General enter the camp, he went
to his own house, and said to his y ife,
6 Martha, We must not oppose this war
any longer. This morning | heard the
man, George Washington, send up a
prayer to Heaven for his country, and
| know it will be heard" This friend
dwelt between the line of the two
armies, and subsequently gave Wash
ington many items concerning the
movements OF the enemy, which ren.
dered good service to the American
cause. - p -eess
From this incident we may infer that
Washington rose with the sun to pray
for his country, he fought for her al
meridian, and watched for her at mid
night. s. -t4
Now, Mr.. Printer, / advise every
editor of. a newspaper between Mon
tauk point and the Rocky Mountains,
if three drops of American blood is
running in their veins, that they insert
this anecdote in their daily or weekly
journal every twenty-second OF Feb
ruary, (Washington's birthday as
long as trees grow and water runs. .1r
voted three years while Washing
ton was President i married three
