Serious Railroad Accident.

An accident occurred on Friday night
last on the night express train from
Detroit. The train consisted of two pas
senger and two Pullman sleeping cars.
The rail which caused the disaster,
though new, broke into several pieces.
One passenger car turned over completely
and was wrecked beyond repair. Another
car was badly shattered. When the train
halted, all the cars were so jammed into
each other that the passengers could not
get through the doors. The conductor,
discovering that the car was on fire,
broke trough the window and smothered
the flames with cushions from the seats.
Only one passenger was killed. His name
is unknown. He looked like a mechanic
and was about 30 or 40 years of age. He
came from Petrolia Station and, it is be-
lieved, was going either to Philadelphia or
Washington. When found he had no
coat on. Mr. Rose, commercial traveller
of Hamilton, Canada, had his ankle dis
located. Many other passengers were in
jured No one in the Pullman cars sus-
tanned the least harm, though the panic
was fearful. Every attention was
promptly paid by the railroad officers to
the wounded, and all of them have gone
forward to their destination. The night
was very clear and cold, and the cause of
the accident is attributed to the frost.
The platforms of the Pullman cars were
shattered by the fearful conclusion, but
the body of the car resisted it, remaining
on the track in good condition. Among
the passengers was Joseph Joslin, Esq, OF
Poultney, who received some slight in.
iuries He arrived at home on Saturday
evening. We are gratified that his Injuries
are no worse, as he was, for a time, placed
in perilous position. His injuries were
not so severe but that he rendered
efficient and valuable service in rescuing
his fellow travellers and aiding those in.

and emphatic manner expressed their
goaa will for their former pastor and his
family. And here we viii add that this
donation was not gotten up nor materially
aided by the church, but rather was the
result Of the labors Of the ladies OF the
village and vicinity outside of the church.
Upon and after diligent search and IN
quiry, we failed to find that there were
present over six members of the church.
The affair was rendered still more pleasant
by the presence of Mrs. and Miss Fletcher,
and at the close a roll of greenbacks
amounting to nearly $50 was presented to
Mr.. Fletcher by Mrs William Kent and
Mrs. Fl. L. Warner. The evening was
passed most pleasantly, and we hope with
profit too, iuntil nearly midnight, when the
benediction was pronounced and the
happy crowd dispersed. Altogether it
was the most pleasant agreeable, yet novel
and unique programme for such an occa-
sion that we ever attended and will long
be remembered by all present.

The little mongoOse when bitten by dead
ly serpent resorts to a certain plant, eats of
it, and escapes the effect of the poison. That
is instinct. Human beings on the other hand
must depend on reason and experience in Sc
lecting the means of protecting health and
life against unwholcsOme influences. Now,
what does reason say ON this vital subject 2
Does it not tell us that to invigorate and pu-
rify the system is the best way to protect it
against the invisible poison which generates
disease! Surely it does. The next question
is, what guide shall we follow in choosing
medicinal safeguard Reason replies let
your monitor be experience. Well, the ex-
perience of eighteen years comprised in one
unbroben series of satisfactory testimonials
assures us that Hostetter's Stomach Btters
possess strengthening, regulating and anti
septic properties which are not combined in
the same happy proportions in any Uher
preparations extant. This therefore is the
antidote TO which reason bids us resort when
our health is imperilled either by the maj
laria which, produces epidemic disorders, OF
by any other cause, whether inherent and
Constitutional or connected with our habit
occupations and pursuits.
The venom of "A noxious reptile is scarcely
more subtle and Dangerous than which Turks
in foul air and impure water. To escape the
fevers. bilious disorders, disturbances of the
bowels, and other serious maladics produced
by these insalubrious elements, it is abso-
lutely necessary that the stomach and all
the secretiye organs should be, so to speak,
in robust condition. Upon the amount of
resistance which the vital system can oppose
to the deleterious influences that assaii il,
the safety of the health depends, and it is
because the GREAT VEGETABLE lNyIGORANT
imparts energy and regularity to the most
important functions OF the body, that it can
be recommended and guaranteed as an in
valuable preventive medicine.

BRADFIELD's FEMALE REGULAroR.-We
have often read in. the newspapers of the
grand success Of medical compounds put up
at the North and elswhere. Many of those
medicines have had their day, and we hear
no more OF them. Their propretors have
made fortunes, not so much from the curative
powers aud virtues Of their mixtures, as
from the notoriety given them by advertising,
by which people were made to believe all
the good that was said OF them. A prepara-
ton is now before the public which is hecom-
ing very popular, and is known as Bradfeld's
Female Regulator, put up by l.. IL. Bradfeld,
of Atlanta, Ga, NJ s 80 per bottle. Such
is its curative virtues, that il has gained
widespread popularity all over the country
whore it has been made known, aud it is be-
ing introduced everywhere We are inform
cd that immense quantities of this medicine
are being sold in all sections Of the South
and Southwest especially in the city of New
Orleans and in ;xas.

tor, who is a gentleman of integrity, aud
who would not engage in the manufacture
