JoHNsTowN, Nov. 16, 1863.
Dear AOeghanian On Saturday morn
ing last, a shoemaker, whose family reside
here, met with a fatal accident near Penn
station, on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
where he had been for some time working
at his trade. It appears he had been at
some house in the neighborhood until
four o'clock that morning, and while pas
sing aloug the track IN the direction of
his boarding house, an approaching train
caused him to move hastily to one side,
and not paying particular attention to
where he was stepping, he fell over the
side of cuivert some thirty feet deep
His condition was not discovered until
about nine o'clock, when assistance was
procured and he conveJed to the residence
of his scnin-law, short distagce off, AT
this time he talked nationally, detailing
the manner In which the accident occur
red, but when one of the persons present
attempted to remove his overcoat, he ex-
pired. 1t is supposed the spinal column
was injured just beneath the neck The
remains of the deceased were brought to
this place the same evening for inter
ment
The boy whom [ noticed some time ago
as having been badly burned by his clothes
taking fire, died last week from the effects
of injuries received.
Rev. Peter Zahm, several years ago
pastor of the English Lutheran congrega-
tioa Of this place, has been assisting in
holding series of religious exercises in
that church during the past and present
weeks. Mr.. q. is deep, earnest thinker
and an unique and pleasing speaker, and
[ have no doubt his efforts will be pro-
ductive of much good.
The wintry weather of last week changed
into Indian Summer, and for several days
we enjoyed the mild, ETHEREAL atmosphere
peculiar to that brief season 1t appears
to me as if autumn had chosen these
dreamy days for its expiring throes.
''No funeral train
Is sweeping paA yet, on the stream and wood,
With melancholy light, the moonbeams rest,
Like pale, spotless shroud the air is stirred
As by mourner's sigh and OF. yon cloud
That floats so still and placidly thro' heaven
The spirits of the Seasons seem to stand"
ga change comes Ger the spirit of the
Dream and the romance of yesterday is
succeeded by the rainy and very disagree
able reality Of to-day.
"Eevolutions sweep
Ger earth, like troubled visions Ger the
breast
OF dreaming sorrow"
Thus with the weather-the changes
which occur are like the. ftful, varying
scenes Of a perturbed vision.
Yours, MAY LEON.
