Fatal DIsAsTER.-The snow storm OF
Thursday impeded railroad operations in
many parts of the country to an unusual
degree, and in some cases occasioned loss OF
life as well as property The Springfield
Republican of Friday morning gives the fol-
lowing account of fatal accident on the
Conn. Il. K. the evening before -
Not for several winters have railroad men
worn more anxious faces than on yesterday
particularly so the engineers. whose duty
and risks are greatest. The storm brought
not only delay and hardships, but an acci-
dent and loss of life that will bring pain to
hundreds of hearts. The northern train due
here at little past six, last evening, made
slow progress with two locomotives and
light load. At almost every step of the way
it was necessary to run back for fresh start
against the body of snow and ice on the
track. The train was passing around the
sweeping curve above Holyoke dam, on one
side the river and on the other ledge Of
rocks-at about O'Clock, when further
progress was stopped, and they ran back to
get under headway. They went back fur
ther than usual, and on coming up agains
with great speed the ice lifted the wheels
from the track and the locomotive was
dashed with great force against the rocks
Mr.. Luther Dickinson of Northampton, the
forward engineer, evidently jumped to save
himself, but was caught between the loco
motive and the ledge and instantly killed
The shock was severe upon all the passan-
gers, several of whom were thrown down
and some Of them bruised Superintendent
Brinsmaid was on the train, and promptly
telegraphed to Springfield for help, which
arrived as soon as possible, returning here
with the passengers. They report the wreck
as terrible, and the scene most heart-rending
Mr. Dickinson head and feet were seen, be-
hind the locomotive, bat his body could not
be got at, and it was doubtful if the debris
be removed in all night The passengers
reached here at halt-past one. Mr.. Dickin-
son leaves a wife and two children at North
ampton, the youngest child an infant of only
a few days.

YANCEY ON COERCION.
The Nashville Banner says

The Nashville Banner says:
We learn that quite an exciting scene
occurred in the Alabama Convention, after
that body had refused by a decided vote, to
submit their action to ths people. Hon.
Mich. Davis, of Huntsville, declared his be-
lief that the people of North Alabama would
never abide the action of that Convention, if
deaied the right of voting upon it. Mr.,
YaHcey fhereuPOn denounced people Of LheNOrth
Alabama as tOr7eS, traitors and rebels, and soid
they ought 10 be coerced INTO subm,,sior 10
the decree Of the C0nusntiOH. Mr.. Davis re-
piled that they might attempt coercion, and
North Alabama would meet them upon the
line and decide the issue at the point of the
bayonet."

the House having under consideration the
report Of the Committee of thirty-three, Mr.
Brigham Of Ohio denied that 2ay State
could by any appliance separate from the
rest or strike down the unity Of the Govern
ment. which makes US one people. Ia re-
gard to the seizure of forts aud arsenals and
other unlawful measures, il is the duty Of
Congress to strengthen the Executive and en-
able him to summon the people TO the yindi-
cation of an outraged Constitution and the
laws. He was opposed to the measure rc
commended by a majority Of the Committee
of Thrty-three, and would not vote for the
admission Of New Mexico until it repcals its
unjust slave code.
MIR. Clemens, of Virginia, bel eyed before
God, that slavery would be crucifed if this
unhappy controversy ends in dissolution of
the Union. 1t remains to be seen whether
treason can be carried on. There was 4 brave
and holy minority in the slave States Laz-
arus is not dead but sleepeth He asked no
favors for the South, but he demanded that
justice only which springs from honest mag
nanimity. North Carolina, which first pro-
claimed independence, and Virginia, which
gave birth to it, were both allied with Mass
achusetts. lie believes there yet fingers a
spirit of patriotism which Will save 4 c0un-
Try whose glory belongs to Us all. Win you
be appealed to to step forward in the spirit
which made your fathers Illustrious, and not
shut out every access to sympathy Mr..
Clemens showed that the law Of population
governed the question. It was population
and capital that the South wanted, and not
territory. lie showed that the object Of the
the Southern confederacy is to reopen the
sltye trade. The South out OF the Union
could never be able to secure as much terri
tory as he could hold IN his hand. He re-
probated the South sending Commissioners
to Europe to effect an alliance against their
brothers in language and lineage: If the
South should take the Constitution Of the
United States, as provisional government,
the cotton States will have the legislative
power over the border States, which will be
bound hand and foot to 4 policy as Oppres-
slve as they ever were under our Constitu-
ton intensified fifty times.

Unfermented Bread.

Take fine -four, six pounds; bicarbonate
OF soda one and one-eighth of an ouace ;
pure muriatic acid, one ounce and a quar-,
ter water, three pints; and salt, three
quarters Of an ounce mix the bicarbonate
OF soda and tLe salt intimately with the
flour, and put the muriatic acid into the
water, and then blend the whole in the
usual way OF making dough. As soon as
1t Is thoroughly kneaded, bake it either in
tins or not. Bread thus mad 3 has an agree
able and natural taste keeps much longer
than fermented or common bread, and is
said to be more digestable, and much less
liable to turn sour or noIdy. We may OBJ.
serve that the chemical action of the acid
Ga the soda disengages gas, which, though
it makes the bread light disappears in
the oven, and the result of this action Is
to produce nothing bnt common table salt
which can be easily proved by mixing O
similar proportion of the acid and the so,
da IN an appropriate vessel, when the well
known taste Of common table salt will Be
reeognized.-Septimus Piesse.

Apple Dumplings.

In every paper you will see some time
or other the query, how can | make light
pot-pie? how can | make light apple dump
Hngs
Having pared and thinly sliced the ap-
pie, rub butter in the -four nearly enough
for an ordinary pie crust mix little soda
in some water, and pour enough in some
buttermilk to make it foam; any more than
this is injurious now moisten the crust
about as soft as ordinary biscuit, roll out
and butter it over lightly, then double it
over once and repeat Put in no more ap-
pies than the crust will easily lap over on,
and two small dumplings are better than
one large one, as they are most easily got
in the bag, and take less time in cooking.
When the fruit is cooked the pastry is
done, and the time of cooking must be
regulated accordingly. If we cook the
fruit before putting it in, half an hour is
sufficient to boil an ordinary sized dump
ling made in this way-though in roll
form two hours is necessary Pudding
bags must be kept sweet and clean, dipped
IN boiling water and well Toured on the
inside before using. \ good sauce can be
eaten with apple dumplipgs as fellows =
To pint Of boiling water add a good
slice Of butter, half nutmeg grated, two
tablespoonstul of flour, previously mixed
in cold water, and half aeaspoonful ex-
tract Of lemon, with coGeecapful of white
sugar; boil one minute As far as nv ex-
perience has gone, heavy apple dumplings
are owing to too much cooking, or want of
enough shortening, or perhaps poor fire,
and water not boiling to start with.

THE
Crane Wine.

G4GRS " AAAN'
6. \. Bement, writing to Country GeR-
tleman, says; Wine may be made from
the Isabella grape on a small scale, by
picking the fruit in clear, dry weather,
when perfectly ripe, and after picking out
the immature and unsoand berries, put
them in tight box or tab and mash them
with postal OF pouHder, having the lower
end square. Reduce the fruit in this man
ner to a fine iaass, but do not break the
seeds while pounding. The next process IS
she extraction of the juice, which may be
done by placing the mass in coarse bag
or sack, and submit it to the pressure. If
a cheese or portable cider press is at hand,
make use of it; otherwise place the bag
between planks, and lay stones on them.
When the juice ceases to run, remove the
pomace to tub, and after breaking the
cheese fine, sprinkel on quantity of clear
soft water, to dissolve and draw out the re-
naming juice. When all the juice is ex-
pressed-which is usually from II to 16
quarts per bushel of grapes-to each quart
of the juice add half pound Of white
granulated sugar, stirring and shaking 1t
until the sugar is entirely dissolved. Put
the liquor into cask, which should be full
in order that the impurities in it may
flow over by fermentation at the bung.-
After 1t terments eight or ten days, put in
the bung tight, and let it rest in cool dry
cellar; there to remain until March, when
it should be racked off into a clean cask,
we'll sweetened with birthstone match
burned within. As it undergoes several
changes the first year, it is we'll to let it
remain until late in the fall, when itshould
be again Iacked off into cask, and if it
is not fine and bright, it would be we'll to
fine it with sweet milk, or with the whites
of eggs beat up with sand. In the course
Of a few weeks if every thing works fav.
orably, it will be fine and bright and fit fof
use
