The blame of this terrible calamity
can be fixed OF no other person than the
engineer, Mr.. b. Frank Abbott. man
about 10 years of age, who had been in
the employ OF the company Il years,
and bore the reputation OF being strictly
temperate and most faithful in the dis
charge of his duties.
The most charitable conclusion that
can be made Of Mr. Abbott's conduct on
this fatal day is that he was insane. lie
ran his train at a speed OF twenty miles
an hour, and did not reverse his engine
until he got TO the bridge. and the sud
den reverSion broke the connection be-
tween tender and engine The engine
came SO near following the car and ten
der that Il perpendicular line dropped
from the fiange of the driver reached four
inches beyond the face of the abutment.
The grade between the depot and the
"iiarlow Bridge was about fifty feet to
the mle-the bulk of it being the last
hundred rods If when the train struck
this heavy grade the engine had been re-
versed, the grade was sufficiently heavy
to have stopped the train before reaching
the bridge.
MIR. Abbott's only explanation Is that
made by him to an officer of the Yer
mont Central: that he had forgotten the
bridge was gone, and was running as
usual.
The st. Adams Messenger of Thurs
day has the following accoun. of tie dis
aster:
The rails of the track ran TO within
few feet of the embankment. As the
tram was hacking up to the edge of the
emDankment Mr.. Locklin saw the I'M
pending danger, and signalled and shout
Ell to the engineer to reverse his machine.
His fireman, also, it is said, warned him

argued the case with his detainer in the street
telling him that he was authorized TO srrest

Cisserns and Ciste rn. BuiIdiug

No water is purer than that which descends
from heaven in the form OF rain; but how TO
get it, and how to keep it pure, is the ques-
ent article To do this it Is obvious that els
terms must be wholly under ground. The sort of
cisterns viii depend upon the quantity of wa
terthat swanted. They may vary from five TO
twenty-five feet in diameter, and from ten to
twenty feet in depth. A deep cistern will
keep the water cooler and purer than shall
low one We are of the opinion that excel
lent water may be kept in cisterns that are
from sixteen to twenty feet in depth. From
six to nine feet is good width for ordinary
family purposes. They should be dug round
and with careful regularity, be perpendicular,
the bottom smooth and a little followed in
the middle to facilitate the process OF cleansing
and give greater permanency to the coat OF
cement. A permanent clay soilis generally
sol d enough when well dug and the sides
well smoothed and cemented to make a last
ing cistern, but it always best to brick over the
bottom and Sides This gives the most rela-
BILE permanency il the bricks are properly
laid. 1t prevents any water pressure from
bursting in and makes solid basis for the
cement. The top should be arched over with
brick, leaving hole in the middle about two
and half feet in width, and arched sufhcient-
" to sustaln any pressure that may even be
expeete,I to be put upon it. When it Is thus
duc and arehed or brieked. it is ready for the
cement which should be carefully put on at
three coatings. Good hydraulic cement well
nut on, will make permanent water lining
for the cistern, which is cheap and not easily
displaced. .a..ff -la.o
The next important matter is the filter.
Pure water cannot well be obtained in all sea-
sons of the year without filter. There are
MANY modes of filtering cistern water. One
il to dig small cistern six or eight feet deer
roa, tbe main one, and fit a filter In the bot
| tom of this, having first connected this with
the main cistern by lead pipe. The oriiict
of the passage to the main cistem is first pro
tected by bricks or stone. These are covere,
with a strong, coarse woolen cloth. Upol
this is placed layer of powdered charcoal
upon this is layer of gravel, and then clotI
similar to the first; then charcoal and grave

Another arrangement is, to make two els

NEW YORK STATE FAIR.-The State
N Fair just closed AT Buffalo,. was an
unexampled success in nearly every DEPART
ment. The interest watch usually centres
upon sewing machines was not wanting. IL
was intensified, doubtless, by the angry (and
not altogether repu,able) dispute, which has
arisen over the medals, said to have been
to sewing machines at the Paris Tx.
position. But these medals counted for moth
ing here, for the judges insisted upon a
thorough examination for themselves, of tht
several machines in competition, and the re-
suit was a una nimous report awording the
highest prize to the exhibitors OF the Singer
for the best family sewing machine; also for
the best manufacturing machine, and also
for the best button hole machine. \ clean
sweep and a righteous Judgment say those
who are best informed. 1t was suggested by
many who saw the magnificent display made

mirable quality of the work they performed
that the manufacturers were remiss in not
