Railroad Accident.
L. Sec


On Tuesday evening of last week,
quite an accident happened to the ave-
ming express train, on the Mahoning
road, as it was coming in from the
west. Just when it comes through the
cut on the west side, is a sharp curve,
and it happened that at that point a rail
was not properly fastened. The train
being behind time, was running at a
rapid rate-some say 80 miles an hour
although the city ordinance prohibits
higher than s miles in the city limits
and as a consequence the rail gave away
and the hindmost passenger coach flew
the track, the wheels humping over the
ties. It being down grade, and the
speed high, the train could not be
checked, and in a few seconds it was on
the bridge, where dreadful havoc was
made of the wooden ties on the iron
bridge-6S ties being torn to fragments.
The coach careened for a moment on the
verge of the bridge, and it seemed in
evitable that it must be precipitated to
the river, twenty feet below, and ten or
fifteen feet deep. But the smashing of
the ties allowed the car to drop back to q
level, and it was thereby saved from go
ing over. Had the coupling uniting the
coaches broken, the hinder one
would have gone down. As it was filled
with passengers, the loss Of life by
crushing and drowning would inevita-
bly, have been great. As it was, no one
was injured. The escape, in view of the
imminent peril that for a few minutes
existed, is considered almost miracu-
lous.

Decoration Day at GustaYus.

EDITOR CHRONICLE Our flags were
hung at half mast, and draped in mourn
ing. The cannon was fired at sunrise,
ats, a. m, and at each cemetery about
twenty minutes before the arrival of the
procession; also about shutdown.
An excellent address was delivered in
the NJ. E. church, by r. B. Barnes, Esq,
to a very large audience. The procession
was very imposing, and was arranged as
follows: LIST. Rev. H. D. King, Presi-
lent ofthe day; R. B. Barnes, orator, and
Rev. J. F. Hill, Chaplain. ID. Gustayus
Cornet Silver Band. Sd. Four horse wsg-
on containing the flower and decorating
committees, consisting Of twenty young
ladies, ten in white and ten in black
4th. Soldiers. 5th. Friends of deceased
soldiers. 9th. Citizens generally. The
procession was about three-fourths Of q
mile in length.
Services at the graves were as follows:
Music by the Band, Decorating, and 8
few remarks by some n previously ap-
pointed, in, reference to the fallen pstri-
ots. A committee had previously been
appointed to erect something to decorate
to the memory of those whose bodies are
lying in other places, and such was their
success that at the distance of a few rods it
was difficult to detect it from the genuine
marble. 1t was estimated that from
twelve to fifteen hundred persons were
in attendance. And for the first, it is
regarded as a success. Much credit Is
due Capt. VIM. Wallace. Y.

S. s. Convention at BacOnsburrh.

DEAR CHRoNICLE:- Understanding
that there was to be a Sunday School Con-
Tention held at Baconsburgh, on the 1st
day Of June, inst, and being friendly to
Sunday Schools in general, 1 thought I
would attend merely as a spectator. Ao-
cordingly the Convention met, at 1Ol
o'clock, A. M, and at the tap of the church
bell was called to order, by Harmon Aus
tin, ESQ, of Warren. The Convention,
in its organized capacity, is called the
christian Sunday School Association of
Trumbun and Ashtabula counties" and
holds meetings quarterly at different
places in the district. The officers consist
Of President, Vice President, Cores
ponding and Recording Secretaries, and
a Treasurer. Every Sunday School in
the district sends at least three delegates
to these conventions, including the Su-
p~erintendent, and as many others as de-
sire to attend. The morning session
was consumed in devotional exercises,
preliminaries, and reports.
At u o'clock, NJ, the Convention adj
'journed n hour. In the meantime
there was q very cordial invitation given
to all, every one, to repair to a beautiful,
shady grove, a short distance from the
church. What a sightl every thing in
the way of refreshments, even abundance
of coffee, was handed around. The ladies
were there, as usual, doing their part to
perfection. Let MT say right here, if the
ladies know what is expected of them,
and that their services will be appreciated,
they are right every time.
At l o'clock, at the tap of the bell, the
Convention assembled at the church, and
was called to order by the President
After singing by the choir, Oct me say
there was a very good choir at the Con-
v~entiOn, I presume the regular choir Of
the church, they, together with those
from different sections OF the district,
sang so that in my mind I was carried
back some thirty years, when 1 attended
the good old Methodist meetings, when
the singing seemed to come from the
heart, and would reach the heart. After
singing, the first topic in the afternoon
session was, Modern Appliances. I'd,
Wants of Sunday Schools and how to
supply them. Sd, Will it pay. 4th, The
Sunday School Teachers Work. After
the above topics were discussed, the
question drawer was opened, when any
proper question might be asked. Upon
the whole, I think there were many
things said and done beneficial to the in
terests of Sunday Schools.
After singing and the benediction, the
Convention adjourned to meet in Bristol,
on the third Tuesday in August next.

troduced TO the audience and made a
brief but excellent speech. Some mu-
sic, very appropriate for the occasion,

shall Of the day, Capt. C.P. Lyman, then
formed a procession in the following
order:
President Of the Day and Speakers.

ing good one:
A plain looking farmer from the oil
regions, who owned a piece of sterile
land near where a good well was
struck, was in town a day or two ago
with more money in his pocket than
he had ever dreamed of possessing
He made purchases pretty freely,
some of the articles being apparently
intended for a young lady, probably
his daughter. In one of the drygoods
stores he picked up a fine looking
parasol, turned it over once or twice
and suffered out 10 the clerk: "Look
ERE mister, 1 want this ere pup of a
umbrell." The pup" was duly rolled
up and the price paid without a muir
