ACCIDENT ON THE VERMONT CEN
TRIAL RAILRoAD.-We learn from the
Free Press that an accident occurred on
the Central road, near Braintree, Monday
night, by which twelve cars and the en-
CINE on train No. 10, going south, were
thrown from the track. The accident
was caused by cattle on the track. The
cars and engine were ali badly smashed,
and the grain with which the cars were
loaded was scattered over the ground.
The fireman, Silas Bell, was killed, and
the engineer and conductor injured. All
the passenger trains on Tuesday had to
carry by, and were considerably delayed
in consequence, and it was on account of
this accident that we failed to receive our
legislative reports in season for Wednes-
days HERALD.

ORWELL.-The town of Orwell was
chartered August 8, 1863, in the name OF
KING George, Sd, by his Excellency, Ben
ming Wentworth, Governor of the Prov
ince of New Hampshire. The first set
tier OF the town was SoOtchman by the
name OF John Charter, some years previ-
Gus to the Revolutionary war. He settled
near Mount Independence, in the north
west part of the town, on the shore of the
lake. Mount Independence lies little
south of opposite Fort Ticonderoga.
Upon this mountain is stockade fort and
ramparts. A garrison of soldiers from
Connecticut occupied it at the opening OF
the war. A camp fever broke out among
the soldiers, which Ia many cases proved
fatal. The graves of these patriots still
appear, and rude stones mark the spot
where they lie. On the 18th day of July,
1775, news reached the garrison of the
declaration of Independence, which caused
great Joy, and they named the hill Mt
Independence Before the close of the
war Charter was driven from bis home
by the British soldiers, and he Temporal
rily took UP his abode in Poultney. He
afterwards returned, however, and lived
in the town for many years His face is
still well remembered by the older inhabi-
tanfs.
The first permanent settlement after
the war, besides that of Jonn Charter s
family, was made by Mr. Ephraim Fisher
and Mr.. Eber Murray in 1888. after
which the settlement grew quite rapidly.
The town was duly organized in 1887,
when there appeared 20 electors. The
Baptist church, now extinct, was the first
organized. The Congregational church
was next, in 1889. 1t was then comprised
of z or 5 mem bers.
The town of Orwell is now one of the
mott fourishing farming towns in New
England. Previous to the building of
the r. 81 B. Railroad it was of consider
able Importance in commercial point of
view. The inland towns near, and as far

The Twenty-ffth ward gives Gerker 765
majority. The city complete gives Leeds

returns from the Fourth Congressional
district elect Kelley by $500 majority.

cratic majority of least 900, a Republican
loss, which will elect Reading, Dem.
DOUBTFUL DIsTRICTs-REPUBLIC
GAINS.
Forney's Press claims the election of
Oliver to Congress in the Sixth District
and Shoemaker in the Twelfth, which,
however, are still in doubt. Reading,
Democrat, in the Fifth District, is elected,
the majority in Bucks county being five
hundred The Nineteenth district, Erie
co unity, gives Republican majority of
two thousand. Cameron county gives a
Republican majority of ninety-five, and
Clearfeld county a Democratic majority
of twelve hundred. Schofeld, Republi-
can, is undoubtedly elected, as the Demo-
cratic majority in Elk county will be
largely overbalanced by the Republican
majority in Forest, Jefferson, Mexican
and Warren counties. Cessna's election
in the Sixteenth is still in doubt, and also
Stewards in the Twenty first district.
In the State Legislature the Republicans
will have a majority of five in the Senate,
gain of two The House will stand the
same as last year, Republican majority
of twenty. In the City Council the Re-
publicans will have majority of twelve
in the select, gain of four, and twenty
nine in the common, loss of one.

The Tribune also says that from Ohio
our returns show gains on the state ticket
throughout the state. We have carried
the city of Cincinnati and elected both
members of Congress these-Aaron f.
Perry in the First and Job E. Stevenson
in the Second, the First being gain.
Gen. Schenck, if the gains reported in the
scattering returns may be trusted, is pos
sibly elected. Samuel Shelabarger is
chosen by handsome majority in the
Seventh district, and the Republicans
claim the election of Charles Foster in the
Ninth district, which, if correct, is
gain.
