JoHN WOLF, residing near Dewart, sent his
team to the Milton depot on Wednesday after
noon in charge of boy. The team ran of up
this road, overtaking wagon containing Mr..
saldwell aud child, and Mr.. seibert and sister.
The wagon was demolished, the occupants thrown
out, and the child, which is about 4 years Old,
seriously injured. Mr. Caldwell received a slight
confusion on the head, but the remaining two
occupants of the wagon escaped comparatively
unhurt. The child was taken to David Sleeps,
short distance from the scene of the accident,
and DR.. McCleery being sent for, the proper re-
NEEDLES were applied, and on Thursday morning
the ease of the little sufferer Was pronounced
hopeful. The accident occurred about half way
between this place aud Nagle & Eshbaeh's saw
mill.-NilioHiaH.

AccIDESTs.-On Sunday afternoon last, MS
party of some six or eight persons, principally
members of the family of Edward Brennan, of
Lancaster Colliery, were descending the Coal
Run hill in a spring wagon, they were thrown

vehicle, caused by the breaking of a shaft. All
were more or less injured. but none seriously eX-

FIRE.-On Monday night, between the hours
of II and 12 O'Clock, fire was discovered in the
merchant tailor store of j, w. Zieger, on Third
street below Market. An alarm was immediate
ly given, but before the fire engine could be
brought TO the spot, the doors were forced open
and the fire extinguished with buckets. The fire
had spread over the whole room, and the goods
were more or less damaged, while large amount
were entirely destroyed. 1t is supposed that the
fire originated by fire crackers having been
thrown into the room in the carly part of the
evening, and smolderrg among the goods until
late hour. Fortunately the room was almost
air, tight which suppressed tho flames to great
extent. Mr.. Ziegler's loss will probably reach
$1,000, which, we are informed, was fully in
sured.

and were prevented from coming to blows through
the intervention of friends. They met after
wards on Franklin street, where the shooting af-
fray took place. There are contradictory reports
as to who drew the first revolver. Leonard is re-

Judge McKennan. An interesting case was ar
gued before this court, on an application for an

by Hon. j. w. Maynard, of Wilamsport, for the
defendant.

FATAL AccIDENT.-The Danville Itsteligencer
says Oakley s. Hallman, son of Mr.. Henry s.
Halman, of this place, was killed at the Penn
sylvania furnace siding on Tuesday morning by
being crushed between the cars. At the concave
portion of the siding the cars, when going too
rapidly, are liable to be forced together by the
bumper of one car being forced over the bumper
ofanother car. Young Hallman stepped over the
platform of the car to put down the brake, when
the cars came suddenly together, crushing him
into space of not over two and a-half inches.
Strange to say, he was not killed outright, but
lived two hours, retaining possession of his facul
ties to the last. He was worthy, industrious
young man. He was aged 22 years and 10
months.
singular thing in connection with the acci-
dent that befol young IIallman, he had dream
some two weeks since warning him that he
would be killed. The dream impressed him so
strongly that he continually alluded to it when
conversing with his parents and friends. This
presentiment was on his mind all the time during
his waking hours, and he seemed to be as firmly
persuaded that it would come to pass as that he
was then living. And the first exclamation al
most after he was hurt, was reference to the
monition he had received in his dream and its
final realization in his approaching death. 1t
appears 20 be one of the mysterious operations of
the mind which man cannot comprehend.

THE Danville, Hazleton and wilkes-Barre rail-
road, running some fifty miles, as its title indi-
Gates, through the coal regions of the northern
part of this State, we understand is near compile
tion. In few weeks at most q connection with
the Lehigh Valley Railroad II is expected will be
effected. The line OF the new road is partly
parallel with the Catawissa Railroad, and will
compete TO some extent with that old work for
Western traffic. The company was chartered
in 1859, and has struggled ON under many diff
cultics until it is now, we are told, within one
thousand feet of completion Its officers have
been most persistent in their efforts, and have
about completed work that not only opens a
rich region of country along its line, but have a
road that is already sought for by great trunk
lines of railway as link in perfectlng their
through routes. According to the last published
report, the company have expended in construc-
tion, coal lands, rolling stock, etc., about 81,
200, and owes in unfunded debt about a
quarter of million of dollars. This liability
may, perhaps, facilitate the negotiations which,
we understand, have already commenced for its
control by lease. 1t connects directly with the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, and also with the Le-
high and Susquehanna Road, (now leased to the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, and would be
n valuable acquisition to Philadelphia

REV. Mr.. WuLETT's LEcTURE.--After the ex-
ercses of some of the scholars of Prof Browns
Academy, in this place on Wednesday evening,
Rev. DIR. Willetts of Philadelphia, delivered his
admirable lecture entitled "sunshine, or the Phi
losophy of Happy Life" We but express the
almost unanimous opinion Of all present, in say
ing it was, in all respects, the best and most en-
crtaining lecture ever delivered in this place. The
Rev. DIR. is not only an orator and elocutionist,
but can hardly be exceled as an actor and hu-
morist.-IIis deineations of character were high
ly interesting. His description of the solemn, ca
daverous and wo-begone reigionst always in
search of the dark side of things, as contrasted
with the cheerful happy and contented christian,
Was not only instructive, but extremely amusing,
and called forth roars of laughter.
The exercises and lecture were he'd in the unGr-
ished, but commodious audieuce room of the new
Presbyterian Church The Commissioners having
conscientious scruples, refused to allow the court
house TO be used for such purposes.

POMPFRET MANOR CEMETERY
COMPANY.

This company is now prepared to sell lots in
the new Cemetery, located on an cmincnce about
one-fourth of a mile east of Sunbury. The in
crease of the population of Sunbury, and conse-
quent advance in the ratio of mortality, as well
the limited facilities for the interment of those
who have fought life's battle, have suggested the
organization of the above named company.
Plan of Cemetery may be seen at the Office of

tion.

A PETITION was handed to us last week by an
enlightened youth of some twelve summers,
son of one of our most influential citizens and
Democrat, for our signature to get the consent
of the County Commissioners to use the Court
Room for the purpose of holding public ex-
animation by Prof. Brown, of the Academy, and
n free lecture by Rev. DIR. Wiletts, Of Phadel-
pha. On inquiry, we were informed that the
Commissioners had refused TO allow the Court
Room to be used for any such purpose. On
glancing over the names on the petition we no.
ticed those of our most wealthy and influential
citizens. We have since learned that the Petition
was presented, and that the Commissioners re-
fused to pay any attention to IL whatever. By
this action we infer that the officers having in
charge the county buildings arc adverse to every
thing that may have tendency to cultivate the
minds of the rising generation, and that lecture
by such eminent men as DIR. Wletts, might d.
vert the public mind in different direction
than the example set by those who had that build
ing in charge for some years past. Those func-
tionaries have, by this action, shown to the world
what regard they have for an enlightened public
and how far they are able to appreciate refined
cultivation. In giving our signature to the petit
tion we imagined what blessed thing it would
be if the young man who approached us could
have an opportunity to each those officers, as it
would no doubt bring about different state of
affairs within the Court House buildings.

TIE PATENT AIR BRAKE.-Many of our citi-
zcns, desirous of seeing the patent air brake test
ed, requested Mr.. Il. Carter, engineer on the p.
IL f. r. R., TO give them practical illustration
when coming into town. On Sunday morning
last, as his train was coming south he noticed
the track clear, when he ran his train at the rate
of about IS or 20 miles per hour, and when with
in about 200 feet of the depot he applied the
brakes and stopped the train within that space.
lie informs us that the larger the train the
quicker it can be stopped, and that train of six
cars can be stopped by this brake within 250 feet
when running at the rate of so miles an hour,
By means of this brake the engineer by single
motion can apply the brakes to every car by
opening the valves of the air chambers, and
stop train by the time any ordinary brakeman
could get ready to apply his brakes.
