A STRAWBERRY grower in Pennsylvs-
MIA has come to the conclusion that
land is generally made too rich for the
production of this delicious berry. He
thinks the crops would be much larger
if less manure was used on the plants.

AT LAST! AT LAST!
Indictment of Several New York Central Rail-
road Officials for MnmslnuRhter.

The Rochester Union has the following
at was announced n few days since that seve-
raj of the Central Railroad officials had been in
dcted. At n late session of the Court of Oyer
and Terminer held in Rome, the Grand Jury
found an indictment charging Assistant Super
intendent u. G. Priest Vice-President Torrance,
Track Superintendent Newell, and Attorney
Farchild, of the New York Central Railroad
Company, with manslaughter. The indictment
charges these officials with being responsible
Tor the accident that happened on the 2Sth of
last August, between Utica and WhitesbOro,
by which several men were severely in
jured, and one, Michael Robinson, killed.
The particulars of this accident may be
briefly restated as follOws-A working train
was returning to Utica from Verona, when an
alarm was given that the directors special train
was coming. The working train had been
stopped to load ties, but the engineer started
immediately, thinking there was time to get up
sufficient headway to avoid or deaden n collision.
As soon as it was discovered that an accident
was inevitable, he jumped from'the train, and
several were badly injured, while Michael
Robinson was instantly killed. The general
opinion that resulted from the Coroner's in
quest was that if notice of the approach or the
directors train had been telegraphed, as was
done on the upward trip, and as the printed
regulations of the company require, the acct
dent would not have happened.
"a coroner's jury was empanelled, and a
verdict rendered: - That Michael Robinson
came to his death by collision between an
extra special tram containing the Vice President
| and other officers of the New York Central Rail
road and working train on said road, on the
afternoon of Friday, August %, 1868, and that
said officers were and are highly culpabe in
negecting to telegraph or notify in regard to
| their return, as was done on their upward trip;
and also that the foreman of the working train
violated a regulation of the road, but no printed
| rule or instruction
''The Utica Herald says-'The case was laid
| before the Grand Jury on the strength of the
above verdict. The warrant for the arrest of
the officials mentioned is in the hands of Sheriff
| Weaver, or has been served by him. The gen
| tlemen indicted are expected to give bail to APP
| pear at the next session of the Court
