DURING the last month several appalling
disasters have happened upon the great rail.
way lines of the country, to trains while
transporting troops in the vicinity of the
scenes of hostilities. The last catastrophe on
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad was fatal to
a very large number of brave men, and very
nearly destroyed the effective force of a whole
gallant regiment. In this instance, as in the
others, there appears to have been evidence
that the road and bridges had been tempered
with by traitors, and the calamity made in.
eviable by their Internal devices. This
satanic method of warfare has been carried to
an extent unparalleled in history. The de-
veopments of the disaster at Platte Bridge,
Mo-, show that the rebels not only weakened
the bridge, but that some sixty or seventy
men standing on the opposite bank Of Platte
river saw the train go down, and when the
wall arose from the wounded they broke and
ran, but afterwards returned aud robbed the
dead of their revolvers, watches, and other
valuables.

CITY AND COUNTY



Tho fnrty-third annual exhibition of the
Worcester Agricultural Society commenced
in this city, yesterday. The weather was
favorable and the attendance very large,
reminding one of the shows of former years.
The exhibition of stock was the largest for
many years. If not the largest in the annals of
the society. The display Of neat stock,
in the opinion of the most accomplished
judges who were present. was the best ever
seen at any county cattle show in the
state. The exercises commenced with the
blowing match at nine o'clock, upon the new
common. Nineteen teams competed, eleven
single, four double, and four horse teams, and
it was the best blowing for years, the share
marked for each team to pillow being one
eighth of an acre. The trial of working oxen
commenced at half past ten O'Clock on the
society's grounds, there being twenty nine
competitors, an unusually large number, rem
dering the contest quite animated.
AT about one o'clock, some four hundred
members of the society, aud Others, sat down
to the dinner in the upper hall. The presi-
dent, VIM. S. Lincoln, Esq, congratulated the
society on the great success which had attend
ed the exhibition the present over former
years, and said he hoped il was but the begin
ming OF the end. He concluded by introducing
Dr. John C. Bartlett of Chelmsford, member
of the State Board OF Agriculture, who said
he had never witnessed finer display OF cat
tie than on that occasion. That Of vegetables
was very fine. As a whole, the exhibition
is highly creditable one The doctor con
cluded by urging the necessity of agricultural
education to tire community.
Dr. George b. Lorng of Salem was then
introduced, as the eloquent advocate of the
cause, who had come this year to reap some
of the fruits of the instruction impaired here
by his admirable address of last year. The
doctor acknowledged most wonderful i'm.
provement had been made in the show of this
year, but last year was hardly fair test,
owing to the unfortunate cattle malady then
prevalent. He was very enthusiastic in his
commentator of this 2ear's exhibition. He
urged more extensive pursuit Of agriculture.
on the home industry principle, as the best
for any community, especially in time of war.
Sheep raising was highly commended, as
being now sadly neglected.
Hon. Amasa Walker of North Brookfel1
was introduced, to speak for the many local
societies which had sprung up in various sec
tons of the county, of late years, of one of
which he was the representative. He respond
ed in some appropriate remarks, which were
very well received.
The following premiums were then an.
nounced by the charmen of the respective
committees =

The cZarina OF Russia is very pous, and
has established Sunday schools in st. Peters
burg. She is said TO be beautiful woman,
tall and slender of form, with long oval face,
high intellectual brow, mild, pensive, gray
eyes, and wavy auburn hair parted over
marble forehead. She wears sweet yet sad
expression, as OF a "Mater Dolorosa P" because,
as is known, her husband crooks his elbow
incontinentlv, and the other night-just before
she went to the Crimea-cane to bed with his
boots on.
Six months ago gentleman dining with
General Scott. remarked to the general that
he would in all probability be the last lieuten-
ant general of the United States, that there
was no one now by whom his mantle could
be justly worn. The old general replied,
'Sir, you talk like civilian congress con-
terred the title upon me, but there is il young
man in the army who will, before many years
elapse earn that distinction for himself" He
meant Mcclellan.
General Washington gave Badge of Mill
tary Merit' to such non commissioned officers
and soldiers as served three years with brave
ry, fidelity, and good conduct and to every
one who should perform any singularly merit
torious action. The badge entitled the recipi-
ent ''to pass and repass all guards as fully and
amply as any commissioned officer" and ii
was highly priced
General Mcclellan evidently keeps his own
counsels, and those who unsuccessfuly en-
deavor to worm out his plans are moi more
fortunate than was nobleman who asked
Charles IL. to give him some private informa
ton on an affair of state. "Can you keep a
