Saws the New York Standard:

Many a member of theatrical and news
paper circles will learn, with great sadness,
of the death of Mr.. Henry c. Page, the
business agent of the Grand Opera House.
Besides transacting his professional duties,
Mr.. Page was a member of the Ninth Regi-
ment, and was killed while yesterday per-
forming his duties in endeavoring to repress
the rioters. His head was crushed in by a
brick. The loss is particularly deplorable,
inasmuch as Mr.. Page was in every respect
an admirable business man, uniting the ad-
vantages of liberal education (which in
cluded the knowledge of several languagesl
to close attention to the drudgery and
practical details of his profession, and an
urbanity of manner that few men SO full of
his kind of work are characterized by. He
had been in Mr.. Fisk's employment for sew
eral years, and invariably controlled the
financial matters connected with the APP
pearance of the Grand Opera House Com
panies in distant cities. New York. how
ever, was his home, and the Grand Opera
House the locality in which he had made
most friends.

The Terrebonne Banner says:

Our old friend Mr.. Dodge, one of the con-
tractors on the railroad now in progress be-
tween here and Terrebonne station, paid a
visit to our town on Tuesday last. He in
formed us that our railroad will be com
pleted and ready for the locomotive and
cars by the first of October, and that we
will have two trains leaving and arriving
every day. The train will lay over here at
night, and start in the morning in time to
meet the up train from the city, returning
here with passengers from New Orleans and
intermediate points. The train will then
return and bring the passengers from above
from the down train from Brashear, and
also bring the freight from New Orleans.
The running time from here to Terrebonne
station will be inside of half an hour. just
think of it What gain it will be to our
citizens in comfort and dispatch. Instead
of being confined in stage for two hours
and then having to wait perhaps one hour
at the station, will be run up in half an
hour, and get there just in time to catch the
cars and go along on our way rejoicing. Sc

An Ohio legislator, in a recent burst of
eloouence, caused an indescribable scene.
Ladies on the back seats were obliged to
climb up to the backs OF the chairs to es-
cane the torrents of eloquence. The speak
er was 80 charged with the electricity of
eloquence that his sharply pointed spike
tail coat frequently stood at an angle OF
sixty degrees, and trembled like an aspen.

The WestfieTd Disaster.

The victims of this most careless acct
dent now number one hundred and three
dead, and one hundred wounded. The
wounded are in a worse condition by far
than those that death has relieved. They
are in a MANNED and useless condition fit
for nothing in this world; left in utter
helplessness to mourn their lot, and wish
they had been killed outright with their
dear ones. And who is to blame for all
this damage and suffering? Is any one
Yesponsiblep Is it the mere work Of
chance, or is it carelessness on the part of
those that are invested with our public
conveyances If a farmer runs his wag-
on until the axel or wheel breaks down,
thereby killing some one, we naturally say
he ia TO blame. He should have known
In what condition his axel, or wheel was
before he started on his journey. The
same rule would apply to the man running
a reaper, mower, threshing machine, or
anything else, even to the az he is chop
ping with. But if an accident happens on
the railroad or steamboat, whereby, per-
haps, hundreds of human beings are
ground up and torn to pieces, the first
thing we hear is, either, it is visitation
of God, or that nobody is to blame. If a
boiler bursts there are plenty of men
ready to take oath that it was full Of wa
ter, the rivets all good, and in fact first
rate boiler. Wher train of cars run off
the track smashing cars, engine, men, wo-
men, and children all in one heap, grind
ing them as it were to powder, nobody is
20 blame. The track was good, the en-
CINE perfect, the engineer, conductor, and
brakeman all competent men, and doing
their duty, &c. All this is perfect nom
sense. Every accident that happens some
one is really to blame, and some body
ought to be made responsible. We have
more railroad accidents and steamboat ex-
piosions than all other countries put to-
gether. our facilities for public travel are
little better than wholesale numbering ma.
chimes, and the companies ought to be re-
sponsible for the wholesale murder they
commit. We are glad to notice that the
authorities are taking hold of the matter
In regard 10 the late fearful disaster that
occurred in New York. They have had a
regular trial and investigation, and the ju-
~ have brought in verdicts against the
rich and greedy corporation. They have
issued warrants for the arrest of the ferry
company, and apparently doing their ut
most to make some one responsible. If
these accidents were thoroughly investi
gated, and the companies properly dealt
with. we should be able to travel with
more safety, and have fewer accidents.
