THE ACCIDENT OF FRIDAY.-It seems
that boys have been in the habit Of cling
ing to cars while switching at Hum
phrey's crossing, and several have mar
rowly escaped death heretofore. Young
Crowley was olinglng 10 the rear car and
his hand slipping off he swung round
under the wheels, no one on the train
seeing or knowing Of the accident but one
brakeman. The conductor was not aware
of any accident until the train arrived at
Sutherland Falls, and would have will
lingly done all ip his power for the young
man had he known of the accident. No
enc was TO blame but the deceased. We

lesson 50 that we shall hear no more of
chatching rides or cars when trains are
being switched, arriving at or leaving
depots OF stopping places.

The Share of the Drop System.

The impression prevails amongst
some that the share of tho crop con-
trac between landlord and laborer is
something new under the sun, and has
arisen from the exhausted condition
in which the war left tho Southern
people. A gentleman said to us but
the other day, "Wo could get on very
well, if we could obtain labor for sim.
pie wages as in Europe" Now tho
truth is,that in perhaps three-fourths of
France and one.half Of Germany, at
thisvery day, "the metaycr system Of
farming prevails" which is modifica.
tfon of the share of the crop contract
system, and from what writers on the
subject say, we believe that very mapy
OF the contracts are Identical. in eveyv
? spect, with those which have been
made in the South during the last few
years. Adam Smith whose work was
published in l77G, comments upon

In our reading on this subject, the
results Of which we prefer to state,
rather than cucumber our article with
curious quotations, ono fact has espc.
c!nlly struck us viz; tho virulcn.
hostility of every writer OH political

nouncc it in the scvcrcst terms that

they favor q moucy-rent, a fixed
moncy-rcnt, as the proper bargain lc-
tween tho owner Of the soil and him
who cultivatcs it. A fixed money
rent and long lease, is their invaria-
bic cry. II is only under such sys-
