EDITOR HERALD, Sir:-Yo GU have been
appraised OF the fact that many years ago
difficulty arose between two commu-
mites respecting two sites on which to
build up y town, and that what is now
Willianlsport, prevailed. But the de-
feated community, acting on the priDci-
pie that truth crushed to earth will rise
again." and headed by that enterprising
spirit, G. w. Kinzer, Esq, renewed the
contest by selecting site between the
intended Winntown and Williamsport,
but near by the former, on which the
sagacious Squire, aided by one brave
Laclius, thought success was sure. So
elated was the Squire with the hope of
demolishing the opposing town, that he
charged into its streets, and with up
al surrender This being refused by its
gallant commander, G. w. StOekard,
Esq, he proceeded to take it by storm,
and having captured two brick houses,
the love of booty, and the noble resis-
lance made by the excited populace,
caused him to retire. Our hero OF Saw

Laclius, meanwhile, nibbled the peIIof

his quill were mlghtier than the Squire's

Railroad Accident at CharlestOwn.

A frightful accident occurred at Charles
town, N. H., on Tuesday. The noon train
from Bellows Falls had just left Charles.
town depot, and had got under headway
when DIR. Howe and wife, Mrs. Tilton and
Miss Grace Wolcott, all of Boston, in
single carriage and one horse, drove on
the crossing at the upper end of the vii
lage, on the road leading to Springfield,
when the carriage was struck by the en-
gine, smashing it to fragments and Instant
ly killing Dr. Howe and MIS-. Howe aud
injuring Mrs. Tilton SO that she died in
half an hour. Miss Wolcott was imme-
diately taken to Mr. Tidd's house near by
and is reported not seriously injured.
Mrs. Howe was most trightfuly mangled,
her bowels being crushed from her body.
DR.. Howe was thrown to the upper part
of the cow-catcher and Mrs. Tilton lay up
on Kim. 1t was was ascertained at once
by examining his pulse that DR.. Howe
was dead, just as he lay on the engine,
but Mrs. Tilton was gasping and they
gave her instant attention, and holding
her head and him on the cow-catcher, the
train backed down to the station. She
was taken into the depot where she open
ed her eyes bat was entirely unconscious
and died in thirty minutes. 1t was most
heart-repderiug scene. They were people
stopping at Charlestowh for the season,
returning from drive to Springfield when
the accident happened,
The Engineer says he blew his whistle
at the usual place below the crossing. and
could only see the carriage when within
about four car lengths Of it, on account Oh
the curve of the highway which descends
from the track going west OF TOWARD
Springfield. The cause is most likely t
have been the very small distance of rail
way track which can be seen from th'
: highway as teams approach the Gro; sing
: going towards Charlestown village. The
, engineer instantly reversed his engine OIL
discovering carriage on the crossing bu
it was of course too late. The horse es
capped without injury.
d We hear of contradictory statements a
!. to whether the whistle was blown befor
/. reaching the crossing-a matter Nhic
ought to be investigated sufficiently t
know whether any fault lies in that di
rection.

may be for books far below his real capa-
city, and be merely the results Ofa defec-
tive education.
But in this age Of bOasIed' progress in
education We are slow to rccogdile defects.
We are slow to perceive that our progress
has been only in the multiplication ofbooks
and other appliances for education, and
not at all in methods ofsiuly. The Greeks
had fewer books than we have, but they
studied the few they possessed with far
greater severity. Mr.. Cations illustration
of their mental ability shows how thorough
" they mastered their favorite authors.
Before the Athenian commoualty
works we're recited Of far more severe
character than could possibly be appre-
ciated by the average Of our race" 1t is
said that Homer receiied his poems as be
travelled from city to city. But how few
among modern authors can recite their own
works. What modern institution of learn
ing insists upon any book in its course Of
study being so thoroughly mastered that
it can be recited as the Athenians recited
theirs. No modern school would think oI
requiring more than few passages now
and then of any author to be so thorough
ly studied, much less Of confning the at
tcntion of its pupils to any one author un
til such attainments in it should be made

upon an inch board laid across the Sleep

the rescue and not a moment too soon, for
the pressure OF the ANNALS head upon
his neck had been so great that some lit
