ACCIDENT ON THE PHILADELPHIA, VIII.
MINaTos AND BALTIMORE RAlLRoAp IAN
accident occurred on Saturday evening last,
to o train on this road, at point between
the Gunpowdef river bridge and Magnolia!
The following account of the disaster is from
the Baltimore San of Monday:
On Saturday night the train of cars which
left this city for Philadelphia at half-past
o'clock met with an accident near Magnolia
Station, about eighteen miles distant, which
caused detention of the New York and
Philadelphia trains to this city of about five
hours. 1t seems that the train hence ran
over bullock on the road throwing the
engine and tender from the the track, and so
disabling the former as to render it useless for
the time Two express cars were thrown OH,
and taking fire from the engine were nearly
consumed, but nothing of any value was
burned with them, and an emigrant car was
also thrown lengthwise over the track.
There was no loss of life through the mis-
hap, through Mr.. John Owens, track SUI
peryisor, who was on the train, had one ofhis
legs broken in two places, also one of his
arms broken, and badly burned about the
body by fire from the engine. The fireman,
James Donovan, had some of his ribs broken,
and was otherwise severely injured, but the
engineer escaped unframed. None of the
other cars were injured, and consequently
no passengers, and the wreck was soon clear
ed away and trains are now running regu-
larry. Mr.. Owens was removed to his home,
in Charlestown, Cecil county, and Mr.. Don
ovan to Perryville, where he resides.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. .
CHURcHvILLE, August 6, 1870.

iLAl'h, low.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: | see, by the list of
offences against the law, for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, law to be found in
the Code, Article A. Section 100, page 1856,
that one act rendering the person commit
ting it liable to penalty, is carrying calves
with all feet tied together. In the cities
where they have societies for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals, this habit will
be stopped for all persons found there ty
ing calves feet will be punished. Why
cannot this cruel custom be discontinued
animals taken from their stall or from the
fields-roughly thrown upon the ground
the knees of strong men pressed heavily
upon their necks-the feet tied tightly to-
gether- the fore and hind feet drawn to-
gether, entirely out of their natural position
the rope almost cutting into the flesh
and thus carried for know not how many
miles. Watch the eyes of the harmless
creature, and you will see the agony it is
suffering. But reason teaches US how fear
full must be the pain-with all the limbs
thus fettered and misplaced, during all the
ride over stony roads,where the jolting must
add'to the intensity of the torture. Could
any one of us endure such treatment3 Think
of the feet and hands being thus tied togeth-
er, and of a rough journey of from six to
ten miles over horrid roads, and then, may
be, of being left for several hours more in
that condition. Humanity might survive
under it, but could the agony be told in
words2 Let it cease, then, from among
us. Let all who sell or buy calves-and,
may add, sheep-see to it that it is stop
ped. People do not always reflect upon
the torture they inilict, and animals can
only partially tell of the suffering they I'M
dergo. Carts and wagons can all be SO
constructed, that calves and sheep can be
carried in them with no tying whatever
of the feet. Christian feeling and kindness
call for this at our hands. Let us act upon
the rule of doing as we would be done by
of not inllicting misery we cannot bear
ourselves. G.

DEATH FROM LIGHTNING STRoKE.-On
Thursday afternoon of last week, while the
thunderstorm was passing over Churchyille,
in this county, a lightning stroke descended
upon the premises of Mr. William Kennedy,
on the outskirts of the village, killing instant
ly George w. Magness, aged fifteen years,
son of the late John Magness.
The unfortunate youth was sitting in the
yard feeding grain to some fowls beneath a
tree. In close proximity, and extending to-
wards him, was wire clothes-line, which
attracted the death shaft, and passed it into
his body. Young Magness was in the EN-
ploy of Mr. Kennedy. He was a member OF
the village Sabbath school and much esteem
ed for his good qualities
