Another Accident on the
Hudson Rive! Road.

As the $3.50 freight train was
nearing Barrytown f:om the
north, it was met by the freight
train from the son h, both trains
running at their usual speed.
when the passenger car on the
northern train was struck by u
door or eome other obstacle on
the southern train, which tore
off the side and fonr windows,
crushing them instantly and ere
atiug the greatest confusion a
mong the passengers. Mr.. @.
Wesley lIallock, accountant of
French's Hotel, was sitting with
in one window on the side of the
car that was struck, but escaped
with the rest without injury. The
conductor and brakeman exerted
themselves successfully i'm keep
ing the passengers from jumping
from the train.
"Doc" SIMMONS.
In the dead of the night, as this train
dashed along,
The sleepcrs lay dreaming, Incor =
scIous Of harm.
They thought not %ofdanger they thought
not of death,
They heard not the signal Of danger's
alarm.
'Brakes! brakesr' shrieked the engine ;
but alas! twas too late.
The sleepers awakened, surrounded by
Ere.
Soon their eyes closed in death-their
tOrtures were over;
The hot, blazing ehrs we're their funer
al ryre.
FcerIng straight through the darkness,
his hand to his eyes,
Stood the engineer Simmons and his
hand never shakes
AZ he seizes the signal rope. The whis-
tie responds
With the terrible warning, "Down
your brakes I! down your brakes !"
''We are lost! we are lost! for your life,
Doctor, jump!
For Gods sake, don't stop let's jump
while we can -
You may jump. If you like !" brave
Simmons replied.
"As for me, | will stand to my post
like a man
Then the flames closed around him-on
his engine he stood
He had faced death so often that he
now had no fear,
With one hand on the throttle, and one
on the brake.
Died noble Doc Simmons the 5r ave
engineer.

KISS MY WIFE Oh FIGHT.

There are few married men who are
not averse to seeing their wives kissed;
but correspondent relates the particu-
lars OF case in which a newly welded
Benedict felt himself insultcd because
his wife was not kissed. The bridegroom
IN question was stalwars young rustic,
who was known as formidable operator
in .t'lree fight" His bride was
blooming aud beautiful country girl,
only sixteen years of age, and the twain
were at party where number of
young folks of both sexes were euojy-
ing themselves in the good, old fashion
ed style. Every girl in the room was
called out and kissed, except R., the
beautiful young bride aforesaid; and,
although there was not youngster who
was not willing to taste her lips, they
were restrained by the presence Of her
herculean husband, who stood regarding
the party with lock of sulleu dissatis-
faction. They mistook the cause, for
suddenly he expressed himself.
ROLLING up MS sleeves, ne stepped 10
the middle of the rccm, and in a tone OF
voice that secured marked attention,
said:
"Gentlemen, have been noticing
how things have been working here for
some time. aud 1 amt satisfied. don't
want to raise fuss, but
whats the matter, .John?" inquired
half dozen voices. Have we done
anything to hurt your feelingsy"
"Yes, you have; all of you have hurt
my feelings, aud haze just got this to
say about it. Here's every girl in the
room has been kissed nigh dozen
times apiece, and there's my wife, who
consider as Likely as any of them, has
not had single one tonight; and I
just tell you now, if she don't get as
many kisses the rest of the night as any
girl in the room, the man that sights
her has got me to fight-that's all Now
go ahead with your plays"

AVOID THE NET, BOYS.

Come here, boys-let mespcak to you.
Where are you going? heard one of
your company say, Come, boys, let US
60 down to the saloon and get some
beer" is it there you are going? Hold
on a moment; that is bad place for
boys. l have known great many boys
begin at the saloon or liquor shop and
end in the States Prison. Did you
ever see the fisherman cast net ana
draw in the FISH how the fish dive and
flop and try to escape, but can't. Did
you ever see birds caught in snare or
net? Ii you have seen pigeons in net
you have noticed how they try. but cant
escape. Listen what the Bible tells
you Gas the fishes are taken iu an
evil net, and as the birds that are caught
in snare, so are the sons Of men
shared in an evil time Evciy iiqacr
saloon or rum shop is net or snare: if
you 90 there you are in danger Of being
caught Shan it-kecp away If you
begin drinking beer, you will s"on want
still stronger drinks, and once started
on this ira ok, no one can tell where you
will cnd-you will end sober men. How
easy then, to escape becoming drunk
ard, to W.T., BY never drinking drop of
intoxicating drinks. Avoid TIC a'e, the
beer, the lager-don't begin, ara you
will never get into the net or >uarc.
Think Of Eve hundred thousand drunk

LIME AS A soHL AMEN

Many diseases of the soil are removed
by liberal dressing Of quick lime
When the soil is Of peaty character,
as that Of vet land newly drained, the
costic properties of lime will act upon
the vegetable matter, making it solu-
BILE plant food, aud it will also act on
the mineral matter in the soil, elimina
ting the potash and phosphoric acid.
When lime is applied to clay it makes
the clay more friable and dissolves the
silicic acid, and other insoluble silicates,
into go assimilable state, necessary not
only 10 the growth OF plants, but also to
strengthen the straw of the cereals
The opinion is gaining in Europe that
it is better to lime often and in small
quantities, say 8 to 10 bushels per
acre, than to apply 8 or 10 tons per acre
at one tine, as larger quantity ren
ders poor, weak soil toe loose. But
Professor johnson says too much lime
is mechanical evil, not chemical
one; that even an excess IF the carbo-
nate of lime in hesoil does not lessen its
chemical fertility. This is strong ar
gument for lining even limestone soil
proper. The best Pennsylvania farm
crs act upon it. The practice is COM
mon in the limestone districts there to
burn lime solely for soil amendment !;
and some farmers spread from 10 to 60
bushels per acre on their grass lands
annually. Yet We are told BY Prof
Vcelcker and others that land contain.
ing 4 per cent. Of the carbonate of lime
needs no lining. This is only true on
soils of rare mechanical formation, like
river bottoms. which need nothing bu,
tillage to make them productive.
never knew but one farmer who found
that the application of lime to his soil
had no effect. But his soil was one of
natures choicest formation. 1t was an
intervale on the banks Of CayuaSa Lake
South Of Union Springs, underlaid by a
lime stone ledge, that takes off surplus
water ; and the soil is composed of the
choice washings from the rising ground
beyond. Its mechanical construction is
nearly perfect.-S. w. in ". T. O5scr-

MARN TWAIN's A ADVICE TO LITTLE
GIRLS.

Good little girls ought not to make
mouths at their teachers for every
triding offence. This retaliation should
only be resorted to under peculiarly ag-
gravated circumstances.
If you have pothing but rag doll
stuffed with sawdust, while one of your
more fortunate little playmates has a
costly china one, you sho uld treat her
with show of kindness nevertheless.
And you ought not to attempt to make
forcible swap with her unless your
conscience would justify you in it and
you know you are able to do it.
You ought Dever to take your little
brothers chewing gum away from him
by main force; it is better to rope him
in with the promise Of the first two dol
lars and q half you 6nd floating down
the river on grindstone. Iu the artless
simplicity natural to his time of life he
will regard it as perfectly fair trausac-
tion. In all ages of the world this emf
nentiy plausible fiction has lured the
obtuse infant to financial ruin and dis
aster.
fiat any time you find it necessary to
correct yoar brother, do not corre:t him
with mud-never on any account throw
mud at him, because it will soil his
clothes. It is better to scald him little;
for then you attain desirable results
you secure his immediate attention to
the lessons you are intoxicating, aud at
the same time your hot water will have
tendency to remove impurities from
his person-and possibly the skin also
in spots.
If your mother tells you to do thing,
it is wrong to reply that you won't. 1t
is better aud more becoming to intimate
that you will do as she bids you, aud
then afterwards act quietlyin in the matter
according to the dictates of your better
judgment.
You should ever bear 10 mind that it
is to your kind parents that you are in
debted for your food aud your nice bed,
and for your beautiful clothes. and for
the privilege of staying home from
