"A SAD AND SINGULAR ACCIDENT
ENGINEER SMoTFERED IN THE SNow.-On the
morning after the furious snow storm of
"Wednesday night last, the passenger train
of the Racine and Mississippi railroad, going
west, was preceded by locomotive, which
with a-snow plDw attached, cleared the track
of the huge banks of snow that had drifted
during the night previous. While running
across Elkhorn Prairie, the engine came in
contact with a snow bank, apparently Of great
er density than any it had hitheto encountered
and which in erder to overcome, it was nee
essary tie charge upon with the engine at its
greatest speed.
10 acquire the necessary velocity the deco
motive backed a mile or so from the bank
which impeded its further progress and
putting on full steam, advsnced, at the rate
of forty or fifty miles an hour full upon it. As
the locomotive neared the scene of the snow
bank, the engineer, Mr.. Samuel D. Pnlford,
took position close to an open window in
that part of the engine known as the ''cab, :"
where he could see the effect of the cellison;
and, as the plunge into the snow was made,
he, in some inexplicable manner was drawn
through the window and buried to the depth
of seven or eight feet in its accumulated drift
His companion, the fireman of the locomotive,
did not miss him from his post, for a brief
moment and when he did, the alarm was
given and search for him was commenced with
will: as we have said above his body was
buried to the depth of seven or eight feet,
and when found there was,still faint beat of
the pulse, indicating that spark of life yet
remained. Untiring effort was made to fan
this spark into the full blaze of animation
and restored reason, but in vain. His body
was brought hack to Racine, the abode of his
family, and his funeral took place on Sunday
last, from the Methodist church. Racine Jour.

For the Reporter.
Sabbath Breaking,

To strike a blow at the existence Of thi:
day, is to sap the foundations of everything
sacred in society. 1t is to prepare the way
for the gradual unchaining of all the corrupt
and fiery passions of the depraved soul, and
to leave man ultimately TO plunge into every
species of vice, without restraint. The Chris
tian Sabbath is the bulwark of all the most
ennobling institutions Of society; and when
1t has been swept away, most of what tended
to elevate and purify society," has been over
whelmed by the food of vice that has broken
in upon it. To abolish it. is to throw wide
open the aeod-gates of ;iniquity and leave So
ciety to the merciless beatings of the waves
Of vice that roll in n,upon it, to corrupt and
destroy, and against which there can be
reared no successful moral influence. In any
community er state, virtue rsigns and true
nobleness and stability of character exist,
just in proportion to the degree of reverence
in which the Sabbath is held. If that is
trampled in disrespect, THE Bible goes next,
and then, in turn, every check ITO vice, everv
legation. 1t may be, indeed it Is a gradual
work, but sure ne its results Our churches are
deserted and left to decay; our children soon
cease to reverence and obey the parent, only
as prompted to it by caprice or policy; our
laws are disregarded, only as a compliance
with them will subserve the selfish PURPOSES
of a corrupt heart; meG soon cease to recog-
nize any obligation, either to God or man,
only as its recognition will aid in the attain
ment Of personal ends; the very basis of or
der and safety is swept from society. and all
becomes q mingled mass. Of ambition, eerrup
-tion and violence. For, when man has lost
his regard for what is sacred, he will Rot Iona
retain his sense of honor and love of right.
Nothing will so readily make man a Eeartless
friend, as to learn to disrespect that to which
God has affixed his seal, and which men have
inteltigenHy learned to reverence. l claim
this as fact well substantiated by universal
experience.
The Sabbath-breaker, then, is waging
warfare, not on this day only, but, ultimately,
on all that tends to virtue i'll man and purity
and stability in society. He is doing that
which will in the end prepare msn for an ut
ter disregard of God and their obligations to
their fellow men, will lead them to lose all
confidence in whatever is claimed as morali-
ty, justice, and right. And, when that conf
dcnce is destroyed, the foundation Of virtue
and the safeguards of society are eaas The
way is then entirely tlcar,fo

How TO MAKE A CHEAP Ice HOUSE.

Any one who lives near water course can at
the expense of ten dollars, build an ice house
capable of containing a cube Of the crystal
luxury ten feet square. Rough boards for
the outer wall, slabs for the inner, with a
filling foot thick of sawdust, and layer
of the same thickness upon the top; clap
board roof, drain to carry off drippings from
the ice, and then pack in the ice close and
compact, cover it with sawdust, and the work
is done. Such store would furnish half a
dozen families with hard butter, cold water,
frozen eustards, and all the luxuries of srst
class ice cream saloon, for the whole season.
Trv it, reader, and you will never fail to put
up your ice, after enjoying it through one hot
August.

Mulligan fell while rallying his mei.
When we fell back from our position
behind and running parallel with tho
stone wall, ho was sitting erect in his
saddle, and with hat off was inspiring
to deeds of talor those brave troops
who loved him SO dearly, and who re-
cognized in him the attributes Which
constitute the heroic soldier. A Min:
10 bullet passed through his thigh;
and he fell from his horse. His staff
gathered around him, and, assisted by
tho bravest men of his command, en-:
deavorod to bring him off the field. It
was almost certain death to every
man who approached him, and yet the
gallant men of the Irish Brigade, with
their colors planted close to his body;
rallied around him, determined, ifpos.
sible, to bear him off the field. The
enemy preceiving their intention, con-
centratod their whole fire on them for
a moment, and every second dozen
men would drop dead around him.
Lieutenant Nugcnt, Mulligan's broth.
cr-in-law, and an officer on his staff,
was wounded in tho leg, and at the
same moment his horse was killed.
Turning to tho color sergeant of the
23d Illinois, he desired him TO assist
is carrying the Colonel off the field.
Limping along, he had not proceeded
many steps before hc received q Sec
ond wound and fell, exclaming, "Col-
oncl, ! am shot" Mulligan then ad
dressed the mon around him, and told
them to savo tho flag. "Boys, don't
loose the colors of the Irish Brigade" ,"
This was the last remark he made, af-
ter tOling the men around him to save
themselves, as it was useless trying to
save him.
