The Season of Disasters.

The time has come for us to begin to
chronicle the lists Of " moving accidents by
l5od and field - that are repeated with such
CHASTITY regularity each succeeding summer.
There have been lately reported some minor
casualties, such as the bursting of tug boat
boiler, and consequent death of five or six
persons, boat capsized and two ladies
drowned, as a sort Of preparation for the
grand summer tragedies but until we heard
from Pittston, the real season Of disasters
could not he said to have fairly oIened. Now
we may expect, the long summer through, to
be often shocked with accounts OF drowning
bows, bursting boilers, falling bridge, broken
rails. smashed trains, burning and collidiDg
steamers and the usual blood curdling dis
asters Of every description that exhibit 30
fearfully the reckless disregard Of human life
in our country. These serve TO teach no lesson
Of caution, for every year the slaughters are
repeated in accidents which are the results
Of gross negligence and recklessness on the
part Of the common carriers of the land,
who bear IN temporary charge the lives of
the myriads who during the summer, throng
the railroad trains and steamboats,, seeking
for pleasure perhaps to find fearful death.
Through legal technicalities, or excuse of "pe-
culiar circumstances attending accidents,
those who are really to blame rarely suffer
the punishment of their criminal carelessness
Since the laws work no cure, why should
there not be greater care to secure what is
better than cure prevention. There are
corporations aud employers, who by vigorous

removal Of the obstruction in the Danube. No

improvements Under the general Government
he was Engineer-in-Chief Of one Of its most i'm
portant works, the Brooklyn Dry Dock. He has
also been engaged in improving the navigation Of
nearly all the great rivers of the country. He
has been more or less associated with the work Of
constructing the water works Of nearly every
large city in the Union. He has superintended
the LAYING down of more railroad tracks than
perhsps any man of the age. The new Niagara
suspension bridge is monument of his genius.
He has been consulting engineer in the erection
of the Wheeling, Albany, iavre de Grace,

The Massachusetts Legislature which was
prorogued last week to next January, pass
ed law making the officers Of passenger
trains con-tables, piece Of legislation much
needed for the convenience Of the public,
particularly on city railroads. Among the
appropriations were two of $4,000 each, to
the State Agricultural Society and to the
Agassiz Museum. The same sum was voted
to arm the militia with breech-loaders. The
new State police bin makes a thorough re-or-
ranization Of the force. and enlarges the duty
Of the State constabulary ; and in view OF
recent developments Of bribery it is provided
that whoever shall coruptly give or promise
to any officer any gift or gratuIty with in-

shall be punished by imprisonment and fine,
while severe punishment is also provided for
the officer accepting such gift.
