ACCIDENT AND DEArH.-A ter
rible accident occurred to a family
of Norwegians, emigrating from
near DEBORAH, to Sioux Falls, on
Tuesday last, at the R. r., eros
sing near the residence Of Mr.. Lib
by. four miles east of this place
As the noon freight going east ap-
preached the crossing an OK team
with wagon attached went over the
crossing leaving the wagon on tho
track, and from fright or some 9TH
or cause, stopped, and though the
whistle,was. ! repeatedly and con-
tinuously sounded, remained stand
ing, the passing train striking the
wagon, crushing it to atoms, break
ing the hip Of one OK, and throwing
the boy driving the team Thomas
Oleson, son of Iva Olcson, at least
sixty feet, producing injuries that
resulted in death in a few hours.
The strangcst part Of the occurrence
was that little girl about four years
old who was in the wagon with her
brother was thrown nearly six rods
and escaped uninjured. AS the ap-
preaching train could have been
distinctly seen fer more than =
mile, the wonder is how he cam e to
60 onto the crossing with it 50 near.

This Company, National in its character, Offers.
by reason Of Large Capital, Low Rates of Premi-
UNI and New Tables, the most desirable means Of
insuring life yet presented to the public. e
! The rates of premium being largely reduced,
are made as favor able to the insurers as those OF
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi-
bends, and the misunderstanding which the lat
ter are SO apt to cause the Policy-Holder.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre-
scented, which need only to be understood to prove
acceptable to the public, such as the INCOME
PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN PREMIUM
POLICY. In the former, the policy-holder not
only secures life insurance, payable at death,
but will receive, if living, after period OF few
years, an annual income equal to ten per cent ~
per cent? Of the par of his policy. In the latter,
the Company agrees to return to the assured the total
amount Of money he has paid IN, IN addition to the

DEARTH OF MEN.-The London Daily

ticularly Of young men, marrying men, and
dancing men in London society. Balls are
crowded with women, beautiful, accomplished
rich, with a thousand charms, and hundreds
of thousands Of attractions; but the men are
in an overwhelmed minority
The News thinks the wine and cookery arc
in fault. It is not that Men cannot afford
to marry, and so keep out Of the wayo of temp

with wine, beauty and dancing; he is almost

"a description Of the Telephone. We give an
extract :: &c One of the most remarkable re-
cent inventions, connected with telegraphy,
is the telephone, an instrument which trans
mits directly the pitch Of sound by means Of
a telegraph wire-either an air wire or sub
marine cable-so that. for instance, when an
operator at one end Of the wire sings or plays
on an instrument any tune, it will be heard
or distinguished plainly at the other end
This Instrument may, in its present state,
have no direct practical application, but be a
mere scientific, although highly interesting
curiosity; but who can tell that it does not
contain the germ Of new method of work

teal purpose ~ i-a s,s-5s

4 A CURIOUS SToRY.-Michigan papers
state that young man named George Den
slow, living near Rome Centre in that State,
dreamed on the night of March - that he
was deaf aud dumb, and on waking was hor-
rifed to find that he could neither speak nor
hear. From that time till the 4th of May,
fifty three days, he remained totally deaf and
dumb. On the evening of that day, while
returning from the field where he had, been
at work, an odd feeling came over him, and
he was obliged to lean against the fence for
support Presently he heard bird sing, he
found also that his voice had returned to him.
During the suspension Of voice and hearing
he had enjoyed uncommonly good health,
