FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

On the 9Th instant terrible accident
took place at the bridge over Credit river
on the Grand Trunk Railroad. The
bridge is one hundred and twenty-five
feet from the surface of the river. In
the morning-as the Toronto Globe says
AS freight train from Sarnia was ap-
preaching this bridge, it was noticed by
those on the traip that an axletree of one
of the rear cars was broken, The engine
driver, on being notified of the fact, at
once whistled "brakes down." but owing
to the ice on the track and the train being
on the down grade, the train could not be
stopped as quickly as under ordinary cir
cumstances. AT the time the defect in
the axletree was discovered, the train was
within about two hundred yards of the
the bridge and going at the ordinary rate
of speed. The persons on the train did
all in their power to stop it. All their
efforts however, were unavailing, as the
train still kept moving, and in few mo-
ments entered on the bridge. The engine
and the tender and number of the cars
passed onward in safety, but just as the
last two cars came upon 1.-THE bridge the
coupling of the forward one broke. In
these cars were the conductor of the train
and two brakemen. Immediately on the
parting of the train the last two cars ran
off the track, dashed through the side rail
of the bridge, took an awful leap into the
air and fell with fearful crash, into the
river beneath distance of one hundred
and twenty-five feet. They were, Of
course, smashed to atoms, and the thret
unfortunate men were mangled in such {
horrible manner as to be scarcely distin
guishable as human beings. Their arms
bodies, heads and legs were cut, smashed
and crushed into one sickening, awfu
mass Of creeping, jellied flesh and bones
The head Of the unfortunate conducto
was, at first, nowhere to be found, Blu
after searching awhile among the ruins
pieces Of skull, face and brain, all tina
now remained Of it, were picked up an,
gathered together. There can be nj
doubt that the accident resulted from tn
axletree, as all that portion of the trail
before the broken car passed safely owe
the bridge.

DoNArioN.--We were informed few
days since that Rev. Robert Myers, pastor
Of a Church in Jamaica, recently received
from donation party the paltry sum of
1926. We understand that Mr.. Myers
is feeble in health, having worn himself
out in laboring for the good of the
people of his charge; empty in purse,
having been obliged to work for small
compensation, and no resources to fall
back upon that he has been faithful
workman in the vineyard, fifty three men,
bers having been united to his church
during the last four years, and others
who had long been dead to the church
having been renewed in the temper and
spirit of their lives; and that for some
time he has been unable to preach and it
seems hard that now, in his days of
weakness and poverty, he should be left
to the cold charities of selfish church 60

corning the late meeting of the yermon,

A special meeting of the vermoD,

on the 9th and 20th ult., and was, IN
every respect decided success. III.
growth of this Society in numbers and
popularity is one of the most not,N,
events in the recent history of Vernon,
Ten years ago there were few 50 poor asto

has attended more than one of its annr,l
meetings, when there were not as m.nr
persons present as were elected to Office
Now the annual meeting is held in Tho
Hall of the House of Representatives and
has none too much room there: while the
special meetings, in different parts of the
State, attract large gatherings oS our
best and most intelligent men and women,
Lawyers, judges, ministers, editors, and
college professors prepare papers for its
archieves, and identify themselves with
it's interests.
The recent meeting was very numer-
ously attended-more than halfthe Couu..
ties in the State being represented, and
some of them by many persons. Fifteen
papers, historical, biographical, scientific
and poetical, we're announced ON the pro.
gramme, and all bat three of them were
read. One of the most valua ble-not IL
say the one more valuable than any other
was on The Battle of Gettysburpb
and the part Vermontsrs took therein, BY
G. G. Benedict one of the editors of the
Burlington Free Press, and himself an
actor in the scenes which he described,
He claimed for the Vermont Brigade the
merit Of turning the tide of battle just
when it set most strongly against the ma,
tional army, and so of saving the victory
to Gen. Meade. A poem on "The ver-
mont Volunteers" by Rev. Daniel T. Tay
lor of Castleton, gave metrical account
of the battles in which the Vermont
troops have been engaged, and there were
appended in foot-notes certain statistics
which were too stubborn to weave into
rhyme. In one of these notes it was
stated that 2,l69 Vermont soldiers had
been killed in battle, and enough officers
to make the whole number not less than
$500.
The next meeting of the Society is to
be held at st. Johns5ury in June next.

DONATION VISITS TO MINISTERS.

We are glad to see that the winter has
witnessed an unusual number of donation
visits to ministers, because the aid thus
rendered has most OPPORTUNITY eked out
many clergyman's small salary; and
sorry, because, rendering to man his
dues in the shape of gift, is always an
injustice. 1t is an old custom. we know,
to pay minister small salary, half or
two-thirds enough for him to live on, and
then, if the season is prosperous one, or
the parish happens to feel like it, to pre-
sent him enough to live on the remainder
Of the year. But age does not render
this practice right, any more than it does
anything else. We pay the butcher, the
tailor and the shoemaker whatever they
ask, in hard cash; and they would be very
apt to demur decidedly if we should sug-
gest to them to leave their pay or part
of it to the generosity of the public in
the way Of donation visit. Why, then
should not the minister be paid for his
services in the same way? If any man
earns his money, it is the clergyman, il
he be in the sense worthy of the title, and
yet it is notorious fact that there is nc
so poorly paid class Of men as ministers

Total. $3.50 1916
The State, by her prompt and energetic
action, aided by the re-enlistment of her
patriotic soldiers in the field, has gained
a credit of two-thousand and twenty five
men over all calls made to the present
time;
This will be increased by the re-enlist-
ment of the troops from this State in the
Department of the Gull, the Muster-In
Rolls of which has not yet been received,
to the number, probably, Of five hun
bred men.
But, as the construction given by the
Provost Marshal General to the recent
call of the President for 100000 volun-
teers yields no men to the Government,
and shows, that the purpose of the call
was only to equalize States, another call
may soon be expected, and sppbably for
100000 men.
This is stated distinctly by the Provost
Marshal General, in his telegram of Feb.
l4th, recently published in Circular
from this office, in which he says" An
other call may, however, be made at any
moment, and it would be exceedingly
unwise' in any locality to cease its eff
forts to raise volunteers, especially while
government bounties last and again,
in his telegram of Feb. 10Th, published
in the same Circular, in which he Says
"All towns should raise men to meet an
additional call, which may be made at
any moment"
If the State of Vermont shall complete
the raising of the Seventeenth Regiment,
for which about four hundred men are
now required, and which will add, when
completed, not less than eight hundred
and thirty to its surplus, the surplus Of
the State will thereby be made to equal
her quota under another call for 100000
men, and, when such call is made, no
additional men will be required, and the
State will be exempt from draft for prob
ably another year.
The additional number of men required
to accomplish this result is so small, and
the advantages-to be thereby gained are SO
important, that it is to be hoped, that the
first of March will find that regiment
filled, and the State in a position, where
its quota under another call will be fully
answered by its surplus thus obtained.
The quotas and credits Of the several
towns will be computed under the direc-
tion of the Acting Assistant Provost Mar
shal General of this State, and will be
announced, when received.

HOW THE FEDERAL PRISONERS ES-
CAPPED.

The account of the escape Of Federal
officers from Richmond is full Of the most
thrilling interest, but for prudential rea-
sons many particulars are withheld from
publication at present. Having managed
to find access to the cellar, they COM
meneed to work, relieving one another as
opportunity offered Their instruments
were case knives, pocket knives, chisels
and files. Twice they had to abandon
their work and commence anew on account
of the obstacles which they could not
pass. They had hoped to have availed
themselves of culvert, but found it i'm.
practicable. After getting through the
wall they disposed of the excavated soil
by drawing it out in spittoon which they
attached to cord. This would be filled
by the party at work in the tunnel and
pulled out into the cellar by their COM
panions, who disposed of it by spreading
it in shallow layers over the floors. con-
cealing it beneath the straw. The work
was necessarily very slow. So close was
the atmosphere in the tunnel that they
could remain in it but few minutes at
time and their candles would 60 out At
one time they got so near the bend of the
street that a small hole, about the size of
a stove pipe. broke through, but Fortunate
ly this was not discovered by the guard,
and was great service by admitting air,
enabling them to prosecute their work
more rapidly. The tunnel, when complet-
ed, was about sixty feet long, and opened
into an old tobacco shed beyond the line
of guards. AS soon as they found the
way clear they emerged slowly in small
squads of two or three, and sauntered off
until they got clear of the guards, making
their way to the Williamsburg road by
the shortest routes. The darkness favored
them and the fact that all the rebel sol.
diers whom they met were habited in the
army coats of Uncle Sam, which they had
stolen from the supplies sent to our pris-
oners by our government, was of great
help to them.
Although they were attired in our army
overcoats, and many of them had their
haversacks, they found the national uni
form better disguise than if they had
been provided with genuine rebel uniforms.
. In order to elude their pursuers, who they
knew would soon be on their track, they
scattered As much as possible. Many
were their hardships and sufferings. and
frequent were their narrow escapes from
the rebel cavalry, who the next morning
were bushwhacking in every direction.
The joy which they experienced when they
first caught sight of our troops, sent out
to seek them and protect them from their
pursucrs, cannot be expressed. To the
officers and men of the 18th Pa, Cavalry,
whom they first met, they expressed the
most profound gratitude for their un-
bounded kindness, and also bear testimony
to the gallantry with which these gallant
fellows pursued the rebel cavalry, and res
cued many of the way-worn fugitives, who
otherwise would have been recaptured.
There is good reason to hope that many
more will yet come in safe.
