A court Of inquiry constituted of the
selectmen Of Mortified, commenced an
Investigation OF the recent terrible catas.

of Abbott, the engineer, occupied all
day. We hope to publish his statement
tomorrow.
The sufferers at Northfeld are receiv-

comfortable and hopeful. As fast as
possible they are being removed to the
care Of friends.
The funeral of Geo. R. Bancroft, one of
the victims Of this calamity, took place

man OF character, and an excellent me-

crushed under the tender, but refused
assistance, saying: Help the other
boys, there is no hope for me-" and in
ten minutes died.
The Burlington Free Press OF Satur-
day evening, has the following in regard
to the conduct Of the engineer of the ILL
fated train:
We hear that Abbott, the engineer, has
shown similar Observation-Disclosures on pre-.

know him from a boy, informs US that as
a boy his mental faculties were remark
ably inert, so that he was hardly re-
garded as full witted but that he was
always honest, temperate and faithful
to the extent OF his ability, his marked
characteristic being obedience to orders,
no matter where they led him or what
was involved in the fulflllment OF them
In this case we hear he had been told
to hurry back to the bridge" and he
complied with it to the letter. On the
whole, it would seem that he was not q
fit man to be trusted with an engine.

This is curious and highly amusing
story, done in rhyme, in many chapters
and in variety OF metres, ali adapted
to the incidents of the tale. 1t relates
the trials and fortunes of Rip Van Brig
ham, who left his married and lovely
wife in Holland, and in old colony
times came over to America, with
the understanding his wife should fol.
low him when he had secured home in
the new land, whittier he journeyed.
Having heard she was dead he falls into
the snares Of lovely widow, Anneke
Van Horn, and was married to her.
Soon Katrina, the former wife arrives,
for the purpose OF joining her husband.
He makes an experiment Of living with
them both, but everything seems to 60
wrong. The clergyman who married
him to the widow contrives a separa-

sequences. The whole is set forth in an
interesting manner in lively narrative,

in harmony with the authors style and
genius peryading the entire work. Me.
