Terrible Railroad Accident.

PouGHKEEPsIE, New York, Feb. THE
following are the particulars of the terrible
disaster which occurred last night on the Hud-
sou River railroad, near New Hamburg; An
oil-train was bound SOUTH and when passing
New Hamburg an axle Of an oil car broke and
dragged along the ground until it reached the
draw-bridge, when striking the timbers it
threw the car Of the track and upon the up
track in the face of the second Pacific express.
An attempt was made to stop the express,
but there was not time enough, and it struck
the oil car. fragments of which were scattered
in every direction, at once iguiting and envel-
oping the entire express train in flames.
The express was composed of one locomo-
tive, one baggage car, one express car and
Eve or six sleeping cars. The locomotive was
NJ once hurled into the river and the engineer
killed. and the baggage and express cars were
piled on top of the engine. AT the same time
the Chicago sleeping car was one sheet OF
flame. and though desperate attempt was

cars next to il were also wrapped in flames,
but the passengers in them all got out safely,
and then the bridge took fire. In less than
ten minutes afterwards the whole structure
fell. carr wing with it the Chicago car, and
burying it and its inmates out of sight under
the water, and among the ruins Of the loco
motive aud express cars. This terrible result,

ing any one, dead or alive, and then there was
nothing to DO until daylight.

A JEALOUS HUSBAND ALMOST INSTANT.
LY KILLS HIS WIFE.

A feaful domestic tragedy occurred in
North Adams on Sunday evening. The
parties to it were young couple, Daniel
Gleason and wife, the former being TWEEN
ty-one years of age and the latter only
nineteen. 1t seems the husband wa.
jealous of bis wife, and that during the
afternoon they had come words in refer.
enoe to the attentions shown by young
man of the village TO the wife. In the
evening the object of Gleason's hatred
put in an appearance at the house, and
stung to madness by his presence, the in
sane man seized dirk knife and plunged
it into the left breast of the woman.
The blade doubtless reached the heart, for
after few gasps, the unfortunate wo-
man breathed her last and the murder
was contaminated. Gleason was imme-
diately taken into custody, and now
awaits his examination in the village
lock up. This morning he expressed
great oontrition for his act, and begged to
see the body Of his wife, which request
will probably be granted. The murder
created great excitement in Adams, and
hundreds of persons visited the scene OF
the tragedy and viewed the remains of the
murdered woman. Gleason has been in
the village only two weeks, having re-
moved there from Green witch in Wash
ington county, New York. He was an
operative in Freeman's cotton mill.

u I've OF the SIX new stores OO1lt the
past season are occupied. First is the
drug store of Clark Smith, occupied by
himself as drug store and by Wilbur F.
Parker as jewelry store. This is large
and eommodious store, finished up in the
latest style with black ash and walnut,
and heated by steam.
Next is the block owned by Norman
Peck, and occupied by Humphrey & Will
liams, dealers in general merchandise, and
Shepard g. Baker, dealers in groceries and
provisions. In this block the Masonic
Lodge have fitted up very fine hall.
which will be opened on Wednesday even.
ing, November 22d. by Masonic levee
There is also one other large hall in this
block, which will be used for parties, le-
wees, etc.
Next to this is the block owned by A..
L. Kellogg, and occupied by L. Kellogg
& Co, druggists. We cannot pass by this
store without passing remark. This is
also finiahed up ia modern style, and al
most entirely of black walnut. The
workmanship is beautiful, and it is con-
ceded by all parties to be the best finished
drug store in the State.
Pitkin & Brother have been fitting up
one of the stores in the same block with
sne of the finest stocks and assort-
ments of hardware, carpenter and farming
tools, glass and britannia ware of all
kinds; also all kinds of lamps and fix
lures, pocket and table cutlery, wooden
and tin ware, stoves, etc, etc.,-in fact,
comprising one of the finest stocks of
hardware goods to be found in Vermont.
Rent being low, and Pitkin & Brother
having for their motto Live and let live, "
it makes their stand one of the best places
for good bargains in Western Vermont.
Onr roads are fine, our stores and goods
are new and fresh, and our prices low.
Come and give US call, and hear John
tell one of his long yarns, for which he is
so noted.
There yet remains one small store in
this block not occupied, but we under
stand that there are several parties who
are DESTROYS of renting it. What we most
need is a first class merchant tailor. With
out doubt this is the best location for
such an establishment in this section.
Quiet has reigned supreme since the
raid upon the liquor sellers. We learn
that the most of them have decided to en-
gage in some businesa in which they will
not be liable te have their stock in trade
removed without moments warning by
the officers of the law.
The public schools close today; and
they have been conducted in every way
satisfactory to all.
ALL business is improving, property
rising, and Fairbaven is bound to go
ahead. If you wish to see true western
town in Vermont, come and see ours.

An Editors Table.
CW'l M. Carleton, in a recent poem, draws the

CWill M. Carleton, in a recent poem, draws the
10 lowing picture OF an editors tablet
The editor sat in his sauctum,
HIS countenance furIowed with care,
His mind at the bottom of business,
His I. ct at the top of chair,
His armchair an elbow supporting,
His right hand UNFOLDING his head,
His eye on the dusty old table,
With different documents spread:
There we're thirty long pages from Howler,
With underlined capitals topped,
And short requlsition from GROWER,
Requesting his new paper stopped:
There were lyrics from Gusher, the poet,
Concerning sweet fowrets and zepbyrs,
And a st, sy gem from Plodder, the farmer,
Describing couple of heifers;
There were bilets from beautiful maidens,
And bills from grocer or two,
And his best leader hitched to a letter
Which Inquired if he wrote it, or who7
There were raptures OF praisers or writers
OF the smooth and melifluous school,
And one of his rivals last papers,
Informing him he was a fool;
There Were several long resolutions,
With names telling who they were by,
Canonizipg some harmless old brother,
Who had done nothing worse than to die;
There were traps on that table to catch him,
And serpents to sting and to snite him,
These were gift enterprises to sell him,
Ard bIters attempting to bite him;
There were long staring lads" from the city
Aud money with never one,
Which added, please give this insertion,
And send in your bill when you're DONE"
There were letters from organizations
Their meetings, their wants, and their laws,
Which said, "Can you print this announcement
for
The good of our glorious causel"
There were tickets inviting his presence
To festivals. parties and shows,
Wra 0ped in notes. with 'Please give us a notice.
Demurely slipped in at the close;
In short, as his eye took the table.
And ran DER its ink-spattered trash,
There vas nothing it did not encounter,
Excepting perhaps it was cash.
