Railroad Accident.

/ FOUR PERSONS KILLED-x0 WOUNDED.
| A railroad disaster occurred on the
I Vermont q Massachusetts, railroad on
Thursday forenoon Of last week be-
tween Royalton and Athol. 1t appears
that n section man with hand car MIS-
took the time by just one hour, and with
another man started up the line and just
as he entered one end of covered bridge
the train entered the other, The two
men jumped from their hand car to the
sides Of the bridge and hung on to the
braces, and as the engine struck the car
it was demolished, and Instantly an iron
bar on the hand car caught under the
engine, throwing it from the track. The
wheels of the engine displaced the tim
bers of the bridge and the baggage ear
when it came to the weakened spot, fell
through into the river below. The first
passenger car followed, in such way
that its front end shot under the rear
end of the baggage ear. The second
passenger car fell endwise, remaining in
so nearly perpendicular position as its
wrecked condition would allow. The
last car did not 60 down, the forward
truck only falling through the bridge.
After the cars had gone down, the en-
CINE was pulled down backward, the
tender falling first, then the engine go
ing down leaving the forward end of the
frame caught in the bridge. The engi-
neer, being on the front of his engine,
did not fall into the river but received
cuts on his lip and right knee in the col
lision. He Immediately went into the
river, and with what assistance he could
get, commenced throwing water on the
heated portions of the engine, continuing
till all danger from FIRE was passed. But
for his promtness and courage, the bridge
would have taken fire and the calamity
would have been aggravated in fearful
degree.
Four persons were killed as follows
Mrs Brewer of Royalston, an aged lady
who died shortly after being taken tc
the Methodist church in Athol, John
son, man who sold popped corn on the
train, killed instantly; Conner, labor
er going from Lowell to the Hoosac tun
mel, who was dead when taken from the
wreck; and Mrs. Jonas Turner of Roy
aston, who suffered compound fracture
of the right leg near the ankle, and was
also injured on the head and internally
She survived the accident but few
hours.
About twenty were wounded, among
whom was the fireman and A. S. Whit
comb, mail agent, ribs broken. Half o
them are not seriously injured, while thu
other half are severely cut or have brok
en- limbs.
Mr.. Moore, the section master, &C
knowledged his mistake in time, Vas tn
cause of the accident He is said to b
as careful man as there is on the road
responsible and trustworthy, but thi
mistake was a most serious and deplora
BILE one.

A NEAT SwINpLE. is thus described
by a European paper A gentleman
stepped into the store of merchant fol-
lowed by servant. The gentleman,
who wore his right arm in a sling. was
taken for a military pensioner, and the
merchant gladly placed before him such
articles as he asked for. When he came
to settle the account, however, he found
he had not sufficient money, SO he asked
the merchant to write note from his
dictation to his wife which he would send
to his hotel by his servant. The mer-
chant unsuspicionsly wrote as he was de-
sired and on sheet bearing the name
of the firm, these words; as send me i'm
mediately by the bearer, two hundred
thalers. Yours, Robert" lie, smiling,
closed up the note with the expression,
"Ah, then we are namesakes." The ser.
want took the note and soon returned
with the required sum. The gentlman
paid for his wares, gave them to his SER
want to carry, and went away. Some
hours after the wife of the merchant
visited him and after talking of sundry
things suddenly asked him why he had
sent for the two hundred thalers. The
man was rendered speechless with aston
ishment when he saw what a cheat had
been played upon him. The search af-
ter the sharper has not yet been success
full,

"TnE TRUE EQuALITY OF THE SEX
Es.-The time has come when wives
should be no longer legally considered
as the mere property of their husbands,
any more than husbands are legally con-
sidered as the mere property of their
wives. We demand that all the actions
of husbands and wives their innocence
or their guilt, their constancy or their
frailty-shall be judged by one and the
same equal and impartial moral code
To permit a greater latitude of license
to men than in women is to compound
all just moral distinctions. fit is right
for a husband to have mistress, it is
right for wife to have paramount
There is no evading this statement. A
man is a coward who shrinks from it
And if it is right Tor husband to shoot
his wife's supposed paramount, it is just as
right for a woman to shoot her husbands
supposed mistress. God is no respecter
of persons. Immortality is no whit less
immortal in men than in women. Not
that we wish to bring women down to
the moral standard of men, but to raise
men up to the moral standard of women.
And all those laws on our statute books
Cthe grim inheritance of feudal tines
will allow a husband to grip her as if
she were his dog, are relics of barbarism,
and must be swept away.-Independent."

The blood owes its red color to minute
globules which float in that fluid, and
contain. in a healthy person, a large
amount of iron, which gives vitality to
the blood. The Peruvian Syrup supplies
the blood with this vital element, and
gives strength and vigor to the whole
system.

OuTsPoKEN Whatever
other democrats may do, the democracy
of Fairfield county, Ohio, evidently mean
to speak their sentiments and stand by
them. They don't believe in resolving
one thing and meaning another, and so
at their recent convention they adopted
the following resolution which speaks
pretty loudly for itself.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
disowning the bonded debt, or, in other
words, are in favor of repudiating it /;
and if paid, we are in favor of letting
the Abolition party and its negro allies
pay it."

How It Paws,

Advertising being an article of mer.
chandise, we adopt any available means
at hand to show that it pays and how ii
pays. In an exchange we find the follow.
ing which pretty clearly elucidates the
manner in which an advertisement is re.
garded by the public.
"The first time that man looks at an
advertisement he does not see it.
"The second time, he does not notice it
''The third thine, he is dimly conscious
of it. Z, :
"The fourth time, he family remembers
having seen something of the kind before
''The fifth time, he half reads it.
'The sixth time, he turns up his nose al
it.
"The seventh time, he reads it all
through and says "pshaw."
"The eighth time, he CALCULATES, "here',
that confounded thing again p'
f"The ninth time, he wanders if there i!
anything in il. .1.i l.f t.
"The tenth time, he thinks it might
possibly suit somebody else's case. ~ b.
"The eleventh time, he thinks he will
ask his neighbor if he has tried it or knows
anything about it. "a
"The twelfth time, he rather wonders
how the advertiser can make it pay.
"The thirteenth time, he rather thinks
it must be a good thing. .a
"The fourteenth time, he happens To
think it is just what he has wanted for q
long time.
"The fifteenth time, he resolves to try
it as soon as he can afford it.
5"The sixteenth time, he examines the
address carefully and makes memoran-
dunn of it. .. 1.t-
"Ihe seventeenth time, he feels tantal-
lied to think he is hardly able to afford it.
"The eighteenth time, he sees painfully
how mnch he needs that particularly ex.
cellent article. 4e
"The nineteenth time, he counts his
money to see how much he would have
left if he bought it, and
"The twentieth time, he frantically
rushes out, in fit Of desperation, and
buys" ar
We advise the public to read the above;
and then, without any undue precipitancy
in the matter, rush out and advertise in
the ENTERPRIsE. 1t will pay, beyond o
doubt. The public will read the ENTER
PRISE. What appears this week may not
be read, but if it is persistently presented,
the public will read it in self-defense. and
the money that the publication costs will
be returned to the advertiser, with one
hundred per cent. on the investment. Ad-
vertising is-a philosophical, as we'll as an
ordinary business transaction. The beau
ty about it is, it pays.

Revenue Informers,

The New York Commercial Advertiser
advocates the repeal of the sections of the
act relative to the revenue, allowing Of
Ulcers of the customs to receive compensa-
ton as informers. The law in reference
to penalties, for violating the revenue acts,
gives one-half of the proceeds of the goods
seized to the United States, one-fourth to
the Collector, Naval Officer and Surveyor
of the Port, and the remaining fourth to
the person giving the information, wheth-
er such person be in the employ of the
Custom House or is only private citizen.
It is asserted that when private individ-
ual gives valuable information upon which
the Custom House officers make seizure,
he is told that his interests will be taken
care Of, but, when the papers are made
out some fellow-oficer is substituter as the
informer, and the person who really is en-
titled to the reward is cheated out of his
compensation. To prevent such disgrace
ful tricks. it is argued that the law in
question should be repealed.
