time past, and a conductor named Donovan and
two brakemen have just been arrested at White
River junction charged with the theft of $500

have been very profuse with their favors in this
line, in one case giving handful of their booty

freight, which aroused his suspicious and led to
the finding of $50 worth of cigars at Donovan s

An engine, following freight, in passing a
curve, ran into the rear (saloon) car crushing in
and wrecking that car, throwing one from the
track, and doing more or less damage to the
others in the train. The hands in charge Of the
freight train were generally in this car, taking
their lnnch at the time, and several Of them
were seriously bruised, though fortunately no
bones were broken. The engine was consider
ably injured. By reason of the accident, the

Country Life, and Literature.

1t seems to be the generally ac-
copted opinion of city people that
country folks are entirely debarred
from the pleasure OF literature; that
they seldom L ad, and never write;
never daring to think of lectures,
&c. That they drudge and delvo,
save odds and ends, wax fat and
grow rich, but know nothing. Now,
we know that physical exercise
strengthens the whole constitution,
itcludlng tho brain, which c'nnot
"discourse healthful muse unless
it be III healthiul condition. The
farmers brain is made to do as
much work as that of any merchant
or OF many Literary men" lilo has
to observe to calculate; to be mer
chant as well as q producer, to un,
derstand the requirements OF his an
imals in health and disease, to be a
mechanic, architect, and engineer; in
short, to wnow q little, and more
than II little Of everything. Yet,
class for class, contrasted with his
city neighbors. ho is moro intelli.
gent and thorough reader of the
newspaper, a moro acute critic OF
passing events, and wiser and more
honest politician. He docs not keep
track of "bubbles light as air" that
attract for q while the general pub
lie, for his busy occupation teaches
him to economise his time, aud dis
criminate in his reading. He sup
ports clubs and societies for the diff
fusion of knowledge and experience
in his calling, and his sons and
daughters are not strangers to soci-
eties conducted for literary improve
ment. The dwellers OF the city in
proportion to population, class for
class of intelligence, have vastly few
er literary societies than the country
people. Country villages are not
without their lectures too, and other
entertainments, though we have no
thoaters, operas, ballets, and the
like, to minister to depraved tastes
and enliven enorvated minds. More
over, the country folks are literary
in the literal sense. They write for
the papers, very many of them, and
on general as well as agricultural
topics. They utilize their spare mo-
ments, and give the results of expe-.
rience and careful thought, directed
by healthful mind, and clothed in
language of Saxon plainness. The
idea of mans being unliterary and
uncultivated because he is farmer,
IS rs absurd as that Of woman's be-
ng either unliterary or unwomanly.
