Horrible RGjJ2O0G Accjdent---Fif-

H0PriOLe ItGjL2'O0G ACctdeHt---FT-
teen Persons Killed.
A horrible accident occurred on the Hudson
River Railroad, near New Hamburg, on Monday
night last. From the newspaper reports we
CLEAN the following
An oil-train was bound south, and when pass
ing New Hamburg an axle of an oil Car broke
and dragged a%ong the ground until it reached
the draw bridge, when, striking the timbers it
threw the car off the track and upon the up
track in the face of the second Pacific express,
which came rushing at that moment. An at
tempt 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 d.
rection, atNonce ignitng and enveoping the en-.
tire express train in flames.
The express was composed of one locomotive,
one baggage car, one express car and five or six
sleeping cars. The locomotive was at once hurl
ed into the river and the engineer killed, and the
baggage aud express cars were piled on top OF
the engine. Al the same time the Chicago sleep
ing car was one sheet Of flame, and though a
desperate attempt was made to rescue the pas
sengers, il is said not one got out alive. Two of
the other sleeping cars next to il were also wrap
ped in flames, but the passengers in them all got
out safely, and then the bridge took fire. In less
tHau ten minutes dIteFNdruS tue WDOle structure
fell carrying with it the Chicago car, and bu-
rying it aud its inmates out OF sight under the
water, and among the ruins of the locomotive
and express cars This terrible result settled all
doubts as TO the probability of rescuing any one,
dead or alive, and then there was nothing to do
until daylight.
Charles Cossum, conductor OF the train, states
that there were sxtY-fye sleeping Car tickets,
and that owners OF fifty -four OF them have been
found indicating that eleven persons are missing
Passengers say, however, that the Chicago car
contained twenty-five OF thirty persons, and not
one got out alive
The bodies OF fifteen of the unfortunate pas
sengers have been recovered, and all identified
with the exception of one or two Among the
number OF dead bodies was found u lady with
two children in her arms. She was lying upon
ner back and her up-,nrned face was burned to
a crisp, and her body terribly manged. Others
were lying upon their faces with their tongues
proruding indicating that ;hey had been stran-
gled. All the bodies found were more or less
burned, and some of them so horribly mangled
as to h. entirely beyond recognition.

Va A great cave has been discovered in
Chester county, Pennsylvania, in which are to
be seen the bones and skeletons Of many animals
that do not belong to our latitude. The bones
of sloths tapirs, ruminauts as large as COWS, and
the strangest thing about il is that il contains IA
skeleton OF uastodon, which animal would
have been too large TO have entered the moOlh of
the cave. Specimens of snakes, bugs, &c. are
to be found in the cave. The discovery is giving a
deal OF excitement to the scientific gentlemen of
Philadelphia and its vicinity

gns- Three bold robbers approached the Ken
sington bank in Philadelphia, ON the night Of
the I'd instant, snd informed the watchmen that
the bank was TO be robbed that night, and that
they had been detailed special police to secrete
themselves in the bank and arrest the robbers
The unwary watchmen admitted them, when
they sent one OF their number for some liquor,
then gagged and hand-cuffed the other, and did
the same with the one sent for the liquor on his
return While they were opening the safe one
stood with cooked revolver at the heads of the
watchmen. They could not get the main vault
open. They carried off all the unregistered
bonds and special deposits belonging to customers
to the amount of about $65, 900. They left the
bank about O'Clock in the morning, and no
clue has yet been obtained as to who they were.

"MAY GO TO THE THEATRE Rev. John f.

courses at the new Masonic Temple, Baltimore,
on Sunday night last, his subject "May 90 the
Theatre?'' His text was from the Acts OF the
Apostles 18th chapter, 3lst verse, "That he
would not adventure himself into the Theatre"
In the course of his remarks Mr. Ware spoke in
cidentally OF Maggie Mitchell Cat present perform
ing al the Holiday Street THEATRE as one OF
the bright and pure lights of the dramatic pro-
fession. 1t happened that the lady mentioned
was among the very large congregation present,
and the unexpected tribute to her character Gre
ated quite sensation. She had been recognized
on entering and quite buzz OF whispering oc-
Cured before the service This the pastor took
occasion 10 rebuke before he began his sermon,
not imagining the innocent cause of it would be
afterwards used to illustrate the strong point be
made as to the character of the stage and its les
sons of purity. He also spoke in this connec-
ton Of Fannie Kembe, Booth, Jefferson and
Fechler.

VIZ. The Agricultural statistics of the census
OF 1870, it is reported, will soon be ready fol
publication. 1t will disclose the fact that there
has been a considerable decrease in the amount
of live stock raised in the New England States
while in the same section there is shown re-
markable increase in the amount of business
done in the way Of Market gardening in the
vicinity Of the towns and villages.
The column designated by the "unknown'
is the usual bane Of statistic returns. This
will be reduced from so to 60 per cent. lower
than that of $780,

WEST POINT UB-CoMMITTEE.-Some time
since the House Military Committee appointed
a sub committee to proceed to West Point to
investigate the difficulties arising out of the
action of the first class towards three of the
cadets. 1t appears that these three cadets were
driven out by the first class.
The subcommittee proceeded to Vast Point
one day made their investigations and returned
the next day to Washington We think the
taking of the testimony and making the in
vestigation were rather expeditions. They
must have had all the preliminaries arranged
before hand.
A majority of that subcommittee has re-
ported to the House Military Committee with
were driven out be restored to their places in
the Academy and that the first class be expelled
Among the cadets in this class are son and 9
nephew of President Grants, a son ola dmiral
Townshend. We say bravo for the member;
of the committee who have courage enough tt
make such report when such individuals are
concerned. These young men are no better
than other cadets, but it is rare thing to see
public men recommend such punishment fol
the sons Of such high officials. If they are
guilty, we say ''spare them not" Let Presi
dent Grant submit to the humiliation like {
man and hero. Let him become the grea
Brutus of the nineteenth century.

FRENCH WRANGL1NGs.--The misfortunes of
the French people excite the sincere sympathy
of the good people of the American nation,
while the supreme folly of the French leaders
is matter for our deepest comniseration. The
whole nation is PROSTATE at the feet OF victo-
rious foe. 1t is their interest to get the best
possible terms they can.
The most conciliatory course is the shortest
and surest road to this end. Yet we see
Gambetta issuing his edicts that he will not
abide by the terms of the armistice and the
proposed basis of settlement, &c. And he
undertakes to speak for a large portion of the
controlling element of the Empire-Republic
or "What-not." M. Jules Favre is doing what
he can to counterfeit this very damaging course
and tells Bismarck that he will rescind the
orders and edicts of Gambetta With this
| condition of affairs we can see nothing en-
| couraging ahead for France and her heroic
people. We had hoped that Republic would
spring from the legitimate consequence of the
destroyed Empire, but with the wrangling of
those to whom she must look for counsel and
aid to re-establish her self-respect among ma
tions, she can look for nothing better than to
be further prey to the remorseless depreda-
tions of her enemies both foreign and domes-
tic. They are taking steps that are encouraging
| to the prospects of the establishment of the
Empire with Bonaparte at its head.
