These photographs represent mask OF the

after his death. and necessarily reproducing with
great exactness his features as they were at the
time. This mask is now in the possession OF

RAILROAD AcCIDENT.-We were in
formed by gentleman from this city,
who witnessed the wreck, that on Fri
day morning as the Chicago Express
train, on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
aud Chicago Railroad, neared the
Birmingham station, a terrible smash
up occurred, in which the whole
train was piled up in heap of ruins.
1t appears that some railroad spikes
had been placed upon the track-sup-
posed by some thoughtless children
and when the engine ran over them it
was thrown off the track, dragging the
whole train with it. 1t happened to
run off the side next the embankment,
and after running some fifty yards the
cow-catcher struck q telegraph pole,
cutting it off in an instant. This caused
the upsetting of the train, which was
badly injured. Strange to say, but one
person was hurt-the engineer had one
of his arms broken. If the engine had
ran off on the other side of the track
the whole train would have been pre-
cipitated in the river below. People
who reside near q railroad should be
very careful not to allow their children
to play on or near the track. AS in
this case, they may, unintentionally, so
obstruct the track as to cause great
damage, If not serious loss of life.

misunderstanding the false
alarm of fire, as noticed in another
place, and which occurred in East
Wheeling, there was real fire in North
Wheeling at about the same time on
Saturday. 1t appeared that q house
keeper living in close proximity to the
residence of DR.. Logan, had some hay
stuffed in one of the chimneys, and
which, from some cause, took fire.
While thus ignited a portion of the
burning hay passed out of the chimney
into the air and settled down upon the
roof of Dr. Logan's house. The alarm
was given and soon put out, by the
promptness of the fire company, burn
ing but small hole through the roof.
Considerable damage was done, how
ever, by the water from the hose.

THE WORKING MEN.-The strike
among the bricklayers of New York still
continues, with very little prospect of
any settlement of the affair. 1t is said
that 10000 men are represented in the
National Union, already, and hundreds
of local Unions are ready to join, and
that $150,O00 can be raised within q
week, if necessary, TO sustain those who
are idle. This demonstrates that the
working men of the nation begin to
WELD q power that will be felt, and
when they see that there is wide dis
elimination between their taxes and
the taxes of the rich bsndholder they
will give their support to that party
which has always been their friend and
will ever be their friesd-thc great

ty years, undertook to end his life by
taking laudanum. 1t appears that be
went, on the morning above mentioned,
to the drug store of Messrs. Brentlinger
& Derry, and purchased an ounce of
laudanum. He then went to the tavern
Of John Ball, where he boards, and
poured the ounce of laudanum into q
glass. Mr.. Ball saw him drink it, but
supposed it to be wine. Mr.. Woods,
after drinking the deadly liquid, went
to bed. Soon after it was ascertained
that the draught was laudanum. DIR.
Cummins was Immediately sent for, bnt
the old man refused to take an emetic
and force had to be used to insert o
stomach pump to relieve the stomach of
the terrible narcotic. They succeeded,
however, in forcing the liquid from his
stomach, and the old man is dsing we'll.
His excuse was that the troubles of this
world were to great for him to bear, and
he was DESTROYS of trying one where he
hoped to be free from sorrow and dis
tress.

DIFFICULTY BETWEEN NEGROES AND
NEGRO woRsHIPPERs.-We find the fol-
lowing facts in the Evening (Washing-
ton, d. CO. Express of the Goth ult. 1t
presents beautiful picture of Radical
disappointment and Radical submission.
The Express says:
"Some days ago an excursion party
started from this city for the Big Falls,
among them Hon. Mr.. Hubbard, of West
Virginia. They arrived there at night,
and, greatly to their surprise, they were
informed by party of negroes who
inhabit the place that they could not
proceed thither. They went to the
nearest hotel and put up for tho night.
On examination they found that all
their eatables and drinkables had been
stolen. They made inquiry among the
negroes, whom they suspected of COM
uniting the act, when they (the negroes)
became very angry at being charged
with stealing, and Immediately COM
mencei hostilities. The whites, being
unarmed, had to apologize for accusing
them. The excursionists desired to OBJ
tain legal regress, but there being no
one in the neighborhood with proper
authority, the negroes went their way
unmolested."
How demoralizing TO see

About little stealing;
For Sambo omit the hoe and spade

And nsw the progress he has made,
