Who Goes There -!

Mr. EDITOR The late feats oe
the roten: trio are quite edifying
in the way of lofty, argumentative
tumbling. The troupe have secur-
ed valuable addition in the per-
son of the renowned Mr.. Jefferson.
Indeed, the situation is becoming
quite critical. The tariff discus
sion has got to be very salty-fshy,
we came near saying. volo seems
to have given Nolo such q dose OF
salt as to completely put him
(Nolo) hors da combat. The On
ondaga Company, also, is in dan
ger Of being put down. and with
its own salt, too. The Company
will have to send a barrel of the
commodity to Volo by way of
silencer. When il comes it will be
marked Sunday School Books
But the vi:tory isn't yet won
Jefferson, 'courageously rushing to
the rescue, rears the fallen banner,
names Turks Island salt, and, in
the language Of Capt. Bunsby,
asks: Whereby, why not Ifso,
what odds3' Jefferson evidently
thinks we are in a bad fix because
we don't make all Of our own salt.
Haven We got the Atlantic ocean
on one side of US, and the Pacific
on the other side? And haven't
we got Great Salt Lake, too ? Let's
bottle up little sunlight for fear
the sun may get extinguished

Libel Suits and the Press.

The New York Tribune makes
the following sensible remarks on
the-subject oflibel:
We heartily hope to see the
whole attitude of.the respectable
press towards libel suits and the
laws against libel changed. Speak
ing not merely for the Tribune,
but, as we believe, for all the
NOR considerate journals, we hope
to see the day when every clear
case Of malicious libel may be
easily and remorselessly prosecu-
ted to conviction and severe pun
ishment. The influence and con-
sideration of the press in New
York would to day be imneasur-
ably greater il within the last year
q score of unmistakablc and mali
cious libels, out Of the hundreds
which have been printed, had been
prosecuted, punished in damages
of from ten to one hundred thous-
and dollars each, and these DANA
ges incxorablY collected, even at
the risk Of stopping the papers
We want no immunity for printing
libels, and We would be glad to
see driven out Of existence every
journal that does want it. We are
all liable to errors, and may I'M
willingly publish the grosses'
ISLANDERS on the best of men. We
try to avoid this. and whenever We
can see that we have done Unjust
ice we arc glad to make the
promptest correction. Whoever
after that, would prosecute 70
libel, is a fool for his pains; who.
ever. being refused that, prosecute.
for libel, ought to succeed; ant
ought to have the heartiast en-
couragement from all that part o
the press which respects itself and
deserves the respect Of the public

Death of Thomas G. Warrington.

The painful task again devolves on US OF
recording the decease of orr friend Thomas
G. Warrington, which took place at Glen Cove,
Long Island, N. Y.,on the Sth inst. Mr..
Warrington, was Cashier of the First Nation
al Bank, in this city, from its first establish
ment until his failing health induced him to
resign the position that he had filled SO ac-
ceptably and efficiently. He was an honest
and upright man and his many sincere friends
in Richmond will long miss his presence in
business and social circles, and, with his dear
companion and child, mourn his irreparable
loss. May the Omnipotent arm sustain his
little family in this severest Of life-trials, and
comfort the bereaved parents in this loss OF
another of their brightest jewels! We be-
lieve Mr.. Y. was in the 35th year of his age.

hundreds of medical men in ell past ages and

The EVILS OF GAMING.-Much
has been said and written of that
terrible passion, which, when once
it has coiled itself about the heart
of man, brings more misery than

his rosary. He had been edgaged
in that occupr,ion for some time,
for the snow had drifted about his
feet, and was fast obliterating the
sable color of his boots. He was

NEW YoRK, Feb. THE following partic- |
ulars with regard to the terrible ccident on
the Hudson River railroad, have been obtain.
ed from eye Witnesses.
The freight train which caused the accident
consisted Of about twenty FIVE cars. most of
which carried tanks filled With oil. Before
leavil Albany, every car was carefully in.
spected by workmen, and no defect was dis
covered. When the train reached the wood
en- bridge over Wapenger creek. at New Ham
burg, about eight miles below Poughkeeps;e,
. sudden shock passed through the entire
train, almost throwing it FROM the track
Upon examination II was found that the axle
ofthe tenth car had broken. The car had
then broken loose from its couplings, careen
ed on one side, struck against the framework
Of the bridge, and lay total wreck upon the
track.
Almost at the same moment and before a
signal or note OF warning could be raised
the express train which had left this city at
8 O'Clock ca me rushing along at the rate of
thirty miles an hour. The engine struck the
wrecked car with terrible force, setting fire
to the oil, scattering the inf ammabIe materi-
al and burning fragments in all directions.
The force of the collision instantly threw the
engine over the bridge into the creek. The
ice was very thick At the time, but was unable
to bear the weight of the locomotive, which
broke through and sank. The tender of the
engine also fell into the creek.
hmm ediately behind the engine were two
baggage cars, which were followed by sleep
ing car full Of passengers.
The flames from the oil tank set FIRE to
these cars, which, after striking the wreck,
fell over into the creek burning mass. ltis
said that some of the passengers in the burn
ing cars succeeded in lesping from the car in
time to save themselves from death, but the
rest were carried with the car over the bridge
and either drowned or burned to death.
The death list by the accident foots up al-
teen passengers and five railroad employees.

A FEARFUL RIDE.


Four Hundred Feet on a COwcatcher- |
Hanging by Thread emarkable
Escape.
Frank Trask, a fireman running
on the night freight train from this
city to Providence, had most
remarkable escape from death on
Saturday night last. AS the train
was going on the down grade east
FROM the summit of Bolton Noun
tain, he went to the forward part
of tho engine to oil the piston
The oil is distributed better when
the train is going the fastest, and
he took this part Of the road, here
the train gets its highest speed, to
atterd to it. By some sudden
motion Of the locomotive he lost
his hold, and was thrown forward
on TO the cowcatcher, but, instead
Of rolling off and being dashed to
pieces, as he expected, the pilot
caught him by few threads in the
Cardigan lacked he had on, so that
he was held first with his feet drag
ging upon the ground-dashing
along in that perilous situation from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour.
He did not lose his consciousness
nor his presence of mind, but
nerved himself to take the best
chance for his life. BY a desperate
effort he succeeded in keeping his
head raised so that it escaped the
ground-though he was hanging
close down, and the least depress-
ion would dash him to pieces. The
engineer, in the meantime, had not
discovered the frightful position of
his assistant till, thinking that he
was gone longer than usual, he
looked forward and there saw his
shadow, by the light Of the moon
running phantom race with the
iron horse. In an instant he whistl-
ed down brakes, and the speed be.
gan to slack; but in the sudden
checking of the train, the tender
threads of Trask's jacket broke,
and he was hurled to the ground
pitching over and over; and yet he
retained his self-possession, and
when his associates arrived by his
side he was as clearheaded as ever
He had noticed the alarm for down
breaks, and felt that his position
was discovered. He was taken tx
Willimantie, and brought back t,
this city by the western train, which
reached here at half-past 4 O'Clock
Sunday morning, and carried t
the residence Of his father, No. 81
Walnut street, where DR.. Storr
was called to attend him. Their
were several cuts and confusion
on his legs and the lower part o
his body, but no fractures, no
anything of particularly danger
Gus nature. Two or three month
ago he was on the same train, com
ing from Providence, when tn
lecom olive ran into a turn tabl
at Willimantie, and then had III
arm broken, which has not entirel
healed. He says if he had had tn
use of both arms he could hav
extricated himself FROM tn
