course lay through a lately ploughed gar

garden, twice stumbled and fell. The
Sheriff, not intending to be excelled in
agility, performed the same feat the same

Railroad Accident.

On Tuesday of last week, a very Sc
rious railroad accident occurred on. the
A. & G. ". R'y, at Sugar Grove station,
near Greenville, Pa, at which point an
oil train ran in on the side track to al
low a through express freight train to
pass. The switch had been properly
adjusted, and all would have been well,
except for the criminal carelessness of
some persons who came along on a
hand car, and changed the switch to
get on to the side track, but neglected
to re-adjust it, and as a consequence
when the express freight came rushing
along it ran into the side switch, the
locomotive driving through the real
cars of the oil train, smashing them
to atoms, setting the oil on fire, and
causing the burning of nine cars, and
destruction of the locomotives of both
trains. The saddest part of the acct
dent was the dreadful fate of a brakes
man on the freight train, Mr.. Frede-
rick Hall, from Adrian, Michigan,
whose clothing becoming saturated
with the oil, unfortunately took fire,
burning him so severely that he died
the following day.

FARMING.

Our soil here is better suited to grass than
grain, and yet we raise the most that we
consume, except the material for our bread.
This comes from abroad with few excep-
tons. We have to spare, cheese, butter,
wool, stock and sometimes a few potatoes
or apples. In my next 1 hope to give the
amount of produce sent from this station
this pres ent year. We could raise much
more by ditchlng. or under draining, ma
nure, thorough tillage, and enough good,
clean grass seed. The country would sus-
tain a more dense population. by less sized
farms and more of them. Ralsaman

Mr.. EDITOR How does it happen that
with each and every gas bill presented by
the Warren Gas Light Company we find
charged sMeter rent one month, Is cts, -
when in Section 9 of a law passed by our
Legislature, April G, 1866, 10 take effect
July 6, 1866, it is expressly provided that
"No gas company shall hare the right to
charge rent for meters l1beR one hundred
cubic feet per month hare been consumed!'
1t is now some five months since the
above law went into effect, and yet the
Warren Gas Light Company would seem
never to have noticed it, or else, their
charging meter rent every month must be
accounted for on the supposition that it is
done through mere force Of hGbit-of course
they would not Intentionally collect this
additional tax each month if they did not
imagine they had a perfect right so to do.
And would it not be fair when our next
gas bills are presented to deduct from them
the amount paid for meter rent since July
6, 1866? VIII the gas company or you,
