THAT WHITE LIGHT ON THE DRAW.
BRIDGE.

From the Cleveland Leader.
The newspapers are making an uncomfor-
tably strong case against Mr.. Vanderbilt, aud
enough is already we'll established to make
the New Hamburg disaster likely to be a
costly one to the reputation of the Hudson
River managers. The testimony given on
the inquest was interesting, but it was con-
fused, contradictory, and proved little in re-
gard to the one or two especial points upon
which the public most wanted light When
all is done, however, then comes q citizen
of New Ham burg-not a railroad man-and
one who is not, therefore, afraid to tell
the facts as he knows them. This person
asserts that the fated express train was lured
to its ruin by a white light hanging over the
drawbridge, and indicating up to the mo-
ment of collision that all was safe. During
the season of navigation man is specially
charged with the manipulation of this light
and the working of the drawbridge. At the
freezing up of the river in December
this man was discharged, and the care
of the bridge signal given to the charge
of another man, whose chief duty was
at the water-tank in Old Troy,
quarter of a mile below the bridge.
Not being at the bridge when the
oil train was wrecked, this man could not of
course drop the light, and thus warn the ap-
preaching passenger train of danger, and
hence the calamity of last Monday night. In
q word, the work of two men put upon one,
and his failure to be at the tank and the draw
bridge at the same time, were the beginning of
this disaster A full, fair comparison of all
evidence thus far adduced would show that
three minutes elapsed between the wreck of
the oil train and the arrival of the express,
and had that safety signal-visible
for q mile and half down the track
been promptly lowered, the now dead
engineer would have been duly warned This
certainly constitutes serious charge against
Mr. Vanderbilt, and in the present state of
public feeling, that parsonage will not escape
q newspaper scoring which will require all
his Observation-Disclosures to enable him to
bear without finching. Already the Albany
Legislature is proposing to require all railway
bridges in the State to be made of iron, and
to prohibit the locking of car doors while a
train is in motion. 1t is only by such lessons
as that at New Hamburg that any railway re-
forms are ever suggested, and it is to be
sincerely hoped that SO terrible and costly
an experience will not be allowed to go for
nothing.

OPEN MISUNDERSTANDING from the
quantity Of ice in some Of the alleys and
along the cutters in various portions of
tho city, we believe very many hydrants
must be left open and the water permitted
TO run nearly all the time. We know
several points where II will be impossi.
bic to get along with teams, safely, Il
this state Of things exists much longer.
The Alley extending from the foot Of
Centre street to Market is well.nigh i'm.
passablc, being glare OF ice almost the
entire distance. And this Is only one OF
the many cases of the same kind through.
out the city. The remedy suggested to
us is, that the hydrants be kept closed,
only when absolutely necessary to have
the water running.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where tho follicles are de.
stroyed, or the glands atrophied aud
dccayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and Stimu-
lated into activity, SO that n new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with q pasty sedi-
mcnt, it twill keep it clean and vigorous
Its occasional use will prevent tho hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrulf, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to tho hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on tho hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
