Terrible Railroad Accident.

One Of the most appalling railroad accidents
that ever occurred on this coast happened on
the Western Pacific railroad, on Sunday morn
ias last, between eight and nine O'Clock,
about a mile east of Simpsons, where the Al
aln.da branch road meets the Western. The
accident is charged 60 the recklessuess Of the
switch-teuder at THAI place. The Alameda
train being behind time, i; is sail he declared
he would wait no longer hut would have
his breakfast. While eating it, the regular
passenger train arrived and came 70 e. dead
halt. when the switch-man came out and told
the conductor to 20 ahead Us the Alameda
train had gone down. The tmin Their started
on lis way, the fog at the time being very
dense, and before it had gone hui u mile it
met the Alameda train, both being under
full headway, and within fifty feet of each
other befuEc they discovered their danger, and
almost instantly they struck, making "a total
wreck Of both engines and ;so passenger cars
on each train.

Our latest advices by mail are to the effect
that Dent will carry the State by at least 80
coo majority, notwithstanding Grant has
thrown the weight Of the Administration on the
other side, and against his brother-in-lavr.
The positions that Dent and Alcoru occuuy.

Upon the shifting scenes of the political
and military life Of the cuuntry. Gen. John
L. Wool AMI Robt ]. Walker have passed
away, the former at the ripe age Of eighty
years, and the latter seventy i-ht. General
Wool was u native Of New York, aud served
with distinction in the of 1872. with Great
Britain. In the war with Mexico. he com
manded the central column which set out from
Sap|Antonio in 1916 for chihuahua, but be
fore reaching that point was ordered south to
unite his forces with those Of Gen. TAYLOR
and selected and fortified the ground on which
the battle of Buena Vista was afterwards
fought. He was second III command in that
memorable engagement which added fresh
l8urels to American arms. When the civil
war broke ont, he took an active part in mis-
ing and forwarding troops, but owing TO ex-
treme old age was not actively engaged in the
field. Robt. ]. Walker was n native of Penn
sylvania, and won for himself name in the
walks of civil life. In 1885 he was elected TO
the U. 5. Senate from Mississippi, and soon
become conspicuous as a leading debater in
that body, and was appointed by President
Polk Secretary of the Treasury; which post
he held during the Mexican war and for his
sldllful management of the national finances
achieved for himself high reputation. Wool
died Nov. 10th, and Walker Nov. 18th.

DEATH or JUDaE BlLDwIS. -Conspicuous
among the names which appear on the roll OF
death in the late railroad disaster. is that of A.
W. Baldwin U. S. District Judge for the Dis
trict of Nevada. His untimely death will east
deep shadow of gloom on a large circle Of
friends in this State. Judge Baldwin was yet
quite young man, having hardly passed his
thirtieth year. and was cut down i'll the flower
OF youth with future full Of hopes and bright
promise. Judge Baldwin was native of Ala
bama, and leaves wife and one child to
mourn his death. We believe he was the
last one of the family living bearing the
name of Baldwin, and his death leaves the

Therefore, be it
Resolued, That by his death We have lost val

tiles endeared him to all with whom he was
brought in contact whose skill and proficiency

The Thinkers

The Rockingham (Va.) Register gives al
interesting account of the religious and
social customs of the Thinkers, in which il
says:
''There are no means by which we can
ascertain the number of communicates in
the Tunker Church. Ii we are not mis-
taken they do not keep any record. We
are satisfied, however, that the number Of
Thinkers III this county must reach 3, 900 or
1000. The society is growing rapidly
The title Thinker, we believe, was first ap-
piled derisively. and is taken from dipper.
They are German Baptists, but do not re-
fuse to accept the title TINKER We doubt
not that in the course of time almost the
entire agricultural portion of our valley
will be peopled with them. And we will
suffer nothing from such result. They
are excellent farmers, and always ready to
bring to their assistance any and every
really valuable aid in their work"

Don't Cultivate Ordinary Land without
Manure.

Recolect if costs you, on our average
soils, ten dollars or more to make an acre
of corn with hired labor, and fifteen or
more to make and gather an acre of cot
ton. II you do not look closely after your
hands it will cost you a good deaf more
than that. Now, every acre cultivated
that will not yield crops worth at least the
above amounts will not only be no profit,
but run you into debt. Larger crops still
are required to obtain q profit on hired Ia
Dor. Lands, then, which will not yield
such crops, we must let rest, Or manure
sufficiently, or we lose money. At least
half of our poorest soils, hitherto devoted
to corn and cotton, should be thrown out
to rest and the balance enriched. How
long will it take us to exhaust what little
capital we have left, if, for every acre on
which we can make net profit of ten
dollars, we continue to cultivate five, which
lack from three to ten dollars each of
meeting the actual cost Of cultivation p
There are few lands which will not yield
profit if commercial manures are judi

Notes for December, addressed to the Feeble
and Debilitatcd.

This is a trying season for invalids, indeed for
all who are not blessed with robust constitutions
and iron frames.
Cold has come upon US suddenly, scaling up
the open pores, and sealing IN as it were, any
seeds of disease that may have been lurking in
the system, but which remained undevoloped so
long as the waste matter of tho body and all acid
and unwholesome AuInors were freely discharged
by evaporation from the surface and through the
bowels.
! A tonic, aperient and Alternative medicine IS now
needed to invigorate the vital powers depressed
| by O. low temperature to stimulate and purify
the secretions, and to fit the body to endure,
without inconvenience, pain or danger, the sud-
den climatic change which ushers in the Winter.
J The only preparation which will fully meet this
almost universal need, and viii thoroughly and
safely perform the important work, is the leading
tonic and Alternative Of the age, HOSTETTER'5
| STOMACH BITTERS.
| This popular specific improves the appetite, in
vigorates the digestive organs. regulates the flow
of bile, enriches the blood, Gains the nerves. re
lieves constipation, promotes superficial circula
ton and evaporation, and being composed solely
