Sad Bereavement.

following, giving information OF the
great sorrow that has fallen upon
Capt. Walden and his cstimable lady.
The deep grief that Expresses tho
heart of parent at the loss of q
child, and that an only one, none can
describe and none realize but those
who have tasted the bitter cup.

the great party who are soon to be-
stow upon the Captain the distin-
guished position of Lieut.. Governor

Capt. NJ. M. Walden, of the Con-
tervillc Citizen, called on us one day
last week, and spent short time in
COW ersation. He brought to us the
painful intelligence of the recent
death of his only child, q bright
little boy Of some three years of age.
This has boon severe blowApon our
friend and his estimable lady. This
child, upon whom SO much of par

more endeared to them in conse-
quence of having suffered, most Of its
young life, with deformed foot, up.

stroyer, death, came and claimed this
beautiful boy as his own, and tore
from the homo Of those fond parents,
their darling and only child. Surely

An awful accident happened five
miles west of this Station about ten
o'clock last night, to the westward
bound freight train, on account of a

and one brakeman. The fireman
had leg broken in two places, but
he managed to swim some distance
and to keep his head above water,
until he was released by the surviving
brakesman.
The engineers name was Barney
Seeks. He was twenty-one years
old, and leaves q young wife to whom
he was married about four months
ago.
The body Of tho engineer was re-
covered from the wreck at half past
four o'clock this afternoon.
Inc name OF the Dr0ke6mAn killed,
was Horace Moor, and that Of the
fireman, James Smith.
A man who had stolen ride from
Chicago, in a car loaded with lum-
Der, had hair breadth escape from
death. The lumber fortunately, tor
him, having been pitched from him
instead of towards him.
About one hundred and fifty citi-
zens ofNewton and Colfax, and many
farmers and others have been at work
to-day, helping the railroad hands in
clearing away the wreck. The
railroad has been badly washed away,
by the heavy rain Of last night
Near Brooklyn and Colfax, the storm
lasted for several hours, accompanied
by worry heavy thunder and sharp
lightning, and inficting additional
injury to the already badly damaged

What Sleep will Cure.

From the Herald of Health.
Tho cry for rest has always been
louder than cry the for food. Not that
il is more important, but it is often
harder to got. Tho best rest comes
from sound slecp. fOf two mon or
women, otherwise equal, tho one who
sleeps the best will be the most moral,
healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irrita-
bility of temper, peevishness, unoasi-
ness. 1t will cure insanity. It will
restore to vigor an overworked brain.
It viii build up and make strong a
weary body. II Wilde much to cure
dyspepsia, particularly that variety
known asncrvous dyspepsia. II will
relieve the langour and prostration
felt by consumptives. 1t will cure
hypochondria. It will cure tho blues.
1t will cure the headache. 1t will
cure the hcartachc. II will cure
neuralgia. 1t will cure q broken
spirit. 1t will cure sorrow. Indeed,
we might make a long list ofnorvous
maladics that sleep will cure.
The cure of slceplessness, however,
is not so easy, particularly in those
who carry gravo responsibilities
The habit Of sleeping well is one
which, if broken up for any length al
time, is not easily regained. Oftena
severe illness, treated by powerful
drugs, so derangos tho nervous sys-
tenn that sleep is never sweet after.
Or, perhaps, long continued watch
|fulness produces the same effect or
hard study, or too little exercise of
the muscular system, or tea and
whisky drinking, and tobacco using.
To break up the habit are required
l. A clean good bed.
2. Sufficient exercise to produce
WEAKNESS, and pleasant occupation.
3. Good air and not too warm a
room.
4. Freedom from too much care.
8. A clean stomach. =.
6. A clear conscience.
Z. Avoidance of stimulants and
narcotics.
Fol-. those who are overworked,
haggard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, We commend the adoption OF
such habits as shall secure sleep, 9th.
