Accident and Loss Of Life on the Hud.
i.-L son RIYer RaiIrOad.

An accident, attended by loss of life and
limb, occurred on the Hudson River Rail
road on Saturday. The express train, that
left Peekskin a. three o'clock, was ap-
preaching Irvington, about three miles
below Tsrrytown, when the engineer dis
covered 8 switch was not in its proper po-
sition. All the brakes were put on and
the engine reversed-too late, however,
TO prevent the train from running of the
track on the side nearest the river.
After leaving the track the engine
plunged forward, finally mounting upon
the sea-wal, where it overturned, hanging
suspended over the wall its smoke-stsck
almost touching the water below The
tender was jammed beneath the ponderous
engine, anda b~sggage-car smashed into q
thousand fraanaantR Another car next
broke from the coupling and went cUHr-
pletely over into the river.
A passenger car attempted to follow, but
while across the track, the car behind was
driven through it, instantly killing one
man, MORALLY wonnding two or three per-
sons, and seriously manning several other
passengers. The engineer and fireman
we're thrown over the embankment, sus-
tanning q few eontusions.
The accident which. occurred about q
hundred yards from the depot, was un-
doubtedly owing TO the carelessness of the
switch tender, who had neglected to re-
place s switch, previously altered for the
passage OF q freight train, that always stops
At Irvington. The last that was seen
of the switch tender he wss running
up the hill before those who saw him were
aware that an accident had occurred. The
wounded passengers were taken into resi-
dences near BY, andcsred for by physicians
from Tsrrytown, who were Immediately
summoned to the scene oil the disaster.
The head of the dead man was found
broken in several places, the throat, shout
ders and body gsshed, while his legs pre-
sented the appearance Of q jelly Of flesh
and bones. A Mr.. Spaulding, Of Peekskill,
was so badly Injured that both his legs had
TO be smputated. A. AE.sHurphy will also
lose his legs, and is not expected 10 survive.
Mr.. Rodgers was severely injured. Seven
other passengers we're severely wounded,
and a larger number escaped with a few
bruises. su.q.
Considerable indignation was expressed
by the citizens of ~IrVingtOn, who declared
that q sufficient force is not employed by
the railroad company TO attend to the
business of the road at that depot.

Dr. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Allow me to
express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered 10 my daugh-
ter, whose BARS have been badly affected
for many years, and for some.months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
q Jtbiss. inpQrtant sense is certainly q
and 70 q degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If therefore, there
be 8 remedy for this great evil, the cause
Of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. l feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
happy effects of your treatment and RENE
dies. Mydaughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left a
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss OF hearing. It
wasIwith extreme difficulty that she could
participate in the conversation Of her
friends, and for two years has been de-
prived of this source of social enjoyment
Happily my attention was directed to your
advertisement and l was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of 8 kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, so far as l can judge,
appears TO be perfectly restored. Wheth-
er this restoration is permanent is q ques-
ton time alone can determine, but present
results are certainly very gratifying.

Perhaps no anniversary OF our National
Independence was ever 50 widely and gen,
erAlly celebrated a. that Of this year has
been. It's significance as an occasion for
the celebration Of restored Peace, q Union
reunited, and Freedom universal, has been
generally recognized by the people. The
manifestations of general joy hAve been
universal and heartfelt In this city the
celebration, of which an sccount is given
in smother column, was an appropriate
aad successful enc. Tho,e throughout our
State and throughout the Union were, As
far as we can learn, largely attended and
enthusiastic. The two most significant
celebrations of the Fourth, however, were
these which transpired at Gettysburg end
in Albany. In the former place, the scene.
of the decisive battle of the war-and the
only battle fought in she free Ststes--the
cornerstone of the Soldiers Monument
which is TO commemorate the heroism of
those who fell in that fierce conflict was
laid with appropriate ceremonies. suchmen
a Gesry, Tying and Howard were
the officers and speakers OF the oceasIon,
and an audience worthy of them and q
it gathered at the old burgh, TO celebrate
the second anniversary of the famous bat
tie. At Albany there was such a constel
latiouo of stars, glittering on shsulder-strsPs
as has never been seen before away from
army headquarters. Grant, Logan, Kill
patrick, Butter8eld, Sickles, Schoheld,
Wallace and others Of lesser note were
there, and looked on with a just pride as the
tsitered flags of one hundred New York
regiments, symbols of daring which they
had marshslled and moulded, and
mementoes Of fields on which they
had won deathless glory, were presented
70 the State Of New York, to be forever
fondIy kept as proofs of the heroism Of her
sons. These two celebrations, wesay, were
most significant of all those that made the
land luminous and resonant Both, most
properly we're in honor of the brave defend
ers of the Union. One, retrospective
commemorated the bravery and enshrined
the memory of ourfsllen heroes; the other
was s day of glory and pride for our living
and returned veterans. But all over the
land, wherever Independence day was eel
ebrated, the soldiers of the Union werere-
msmbed, and this sfe~ctiOnAte, admiring,
grateful tribute TO them was everywhere

HoDEuhEy E1buI AoOfs
DEAR SRI take much pleasure in
informing you that my daughter is much
better of her deafness under your treat
ment. She had the scarlet fever when Eve
years of age, which left her hearing serI
ously impaired, which seemed also 70 be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
mnob feared, perfect and incursble deaf
ness. .r.r
We were not a little fearful and unbe-
lieving in any efforts to cure the case, hav-
ing previously applied to other physicians
without success. But under your treat
ment we soon found evidence of decided
improvement. The offensive discharge
soon, changed and indicated a healthy
scaling process. We are yet making use
OF your prescrlptlonI and va hope you will
not fail to visit these parts again soon, as
several of my friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
a little of the oil of consolation Tor them
selves. Respectfully yours,
