The Holland Dutchman.

The adventurous Dutchman in earl, life goes to. Java, where he patiently re mains fifteen or twenty. years, makes hi fortune, hands over his sugar mill ant coffee plantation to son or nephew, an( returns to the country of levels, water and windmills, to spend the remainder O | his life. Under similar circumstances aI Anglo-Saxon would buy villa on Lake Como, a shooting box in Scotland, or { chateau in the south of France, with win ter quarters in Rome, London or Paris The Dutchman prefers to pitch his home in soggy acres of motherland, in the mids' of fog and rain. His eye wanders peace fully over the expanse of green and water without craving anything more. The rair floods the land as far as the eye can reach and he views it with the happiness of the turtle. His boot sinks deep into the sat urated grass, and he has the air of one who walks over the sod of a compact lawn. To watch the rich vegetation growing out of the greasy, porous soil, the grazing of the plump sheep and the great black beeves, and the spiral smoke of his pipe-this is the cup of pleasure full to the brim. The tropical riches of the hills and valleys of Java become a vague dream; here the Spanish castle has been reached. The Javanese life was pro- bationary; this is the realization-the house with canal dug around it, garden teaming with vegetation, drawbridge with an arch bearing Biblical inscription or Hollandic proverb. Here is abound ing platitude of soil and speech: hero is happiness.
 The soggy lethargy is the Dutohman's s buckler. A shrewd Yankee invades the kingdom with 8 'patent," selects his man, and talks to him with his habitual clear ness and vivacity for several half hours. The article is good, labor-saving, money making, and such as the native should have. Why does he not take it9 With dull, impassive expression he replies that he does not want it. The New Englander tries to make an impression on other minds, but without effect then he hasti- ly packs his trunk and leaves for other fields. This is the fate of an aggressive nature on Dutch soil, and the Yankee does not abide. Let the invention or inn provement be what it may, Che does not want it.' It is the Hollandic "no,e pos saanus.'
 In the canals, which are drains as we'll as public highways, no dredge boats are used for keeping the depth requisite for navigation, but the mud is pulled up by hand in leather pouches attached to long poles. spoke to burgomaster of the saving of time and money, and the greater efficiency there would be in using the steam dredge for this purpose. "Then what would become of our laboring men9'' answered he. "They would be thrown out of employment and would become g charge to the community

A HARD YEAR" Eighteen hundred and starved to death' was the grim name given by old New England farmers to the year 1S16-the year without sum- mer. The winter months were unusually mild the latter part of March and the first half of April was not unreasonable; but the weather grew colder as April ad- vanced, and ended with snow and ice. In May ice formed half an inch thick; buds and fruits were frozen, corn killed, and the fields were replanted again and again. Never was there known such a June. Frost, ice, and snow were fre- quent. In Maine and Vermont snow fell to the depth of several inches-also in Massachusetts and the interior of New York. On the fifth of July ice was formed throughout New England, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania. August was even more cheerless. With ice forming half an inch in thickness, Indian corn frozen, and almost every green thing destroyed, what wonder that the hearts of farmers were heavy, and a gloom spread through the whole coun- try. In September there were two weeks of warm weather, then the season became cold, and in November there was good sleighing. Such, in brief, was the "cold summer of 1816," when the suns rays seemed to be destitute of all heat.

Song of Autumn,

Song of Autumn. The sunbeams fall in golden shower Over the yellowing grain; The fruit, over-ripe, drops hour by hour, And the asters are here again. A pensive hush broods like charm Over meadow and sea; A pause Tn Natures choral psalm, An unuttered melody. But where are the fields of emerald green, With clover and white-weed set, With the scarlet hly's dazzling sheen, And reaches of violet? The missiles have given up the ghost, And the naples have turned to gold, And the summers eloquent story, at most, Is but tale that is told. The rose to the wind has given her breath, The bird has bequeathed his lay; And have given my heart till death, And after the Judgment-day Then what care though the fields be brown And the violet's eyes be hid ?- Summer for me has woven a crown To wear and be comfortedl

POISONOUS CANDY.-The English peo- pie are again suspicious of the attractive looking sweetmeats which lead their young ones into temptation and bring them into trouble. ANewcastle chemist has been analyzing some of the stuff and has published the results, and as 8 mat. ter of course the people are shocked, and wonder how the confectioners can dc so, forgetting that if they did not buy the candy with the brilliant colors, il would not be made.

THE HoME.-Whether it is duty more definitely belonging to the "sphere" of woman than of man to beautify the home we will not pretend to decide, since, in these days, the "sphere of woman" is topic of so much discussion and dis agreement. But we confidently believe that the majority of our lady readers have such love for the beautiful in na- ture and in art, and such reliance upon the influence of refined taste in the fam fly, that they take genuine pleasure in those nameless little adornments which make the home cheerful, bright, beautiful. Just now we are not thinking of costly paintings and engravings, or rare and curious ornaments, though all these, tastefully arranged, are most pleasing additions to the rooms in which we live but these October days remind us of Q simple method whereby the fam fly rooms may be heightened up for the prospective winter. Some of our read CTS have no need of any sugge stion from us for weeks they have been watching the forest leaves changing to red and golden hues they have gathered the choicest, and carefully pressed them. Ferns and grasses have been plucked, and the collection is varied and beauti- full, yet they will not regard it complete until the melancholy days" have come October days are certainly not much then they will fill their vases with sand, and arrange the bright-hued leaves in tasteful bouquets. All winter long they will give cherry look to the parlor, the dining-room, the library. Noses and ferns have also been taken from their native soil and transferred to the simple fernery, which, in some snug corner, will preserve its luxuriance through wintry months. A fernery is scarcely any trouble to its owner. It may be as sim pie as one pleases. A box with glass sides and cover is all that is necessary, and then, when stocked with plants, it will take care of itself if it is watered once in week or two. City residents lack the opportunities of those living ir the country for preparing winter bou quets ; but October will doubtless see many interested gatherers of the brilliant autumn leaves.

SNA11s. The snail cultivators near Paris have their pastures well stocked again, we are told. The peasants in the Champagne direct drive thrifty busi' ness by catching all the sna1ls they can and selling kthem to the regular snail growers, who shut them up in fatten. ing park and feed them on various dainty salads until they become too large to pass through ring of regulation size They then send the snails to Paris, where they are eaten as great delicacy, under the name of Champagne oysters.

The last week or ten days were terribly
pfoilhc OF railroad accidents, nearly all of
them OF fatal character. We note them
nrleny, want of space forbidding details ::
on Frlday afternoon last collision occurred
between two freight trains on the Broad Top
X. n, near Hopewell, owing TO a misappre-
nenslon OF orders, and four of the employees
were Killed outright and fifth one died on
sunday morning. On the evening of the
same day (Friday), E. Il. Blackwell, Of Pc
teTSourg, was struck by Il locomotive, while
attempting TO cross the track at Tyrone in
wagon, and instantly killed His horsa
hilu to be shot on account of lis INJURIES. At
spruce Creek, on the same fatal F'Tiday, w III.
black had both legs taken off by the ears,
dying soon after. Engine No. 81 exploded
near LaXton, on the Il. T. L. r., scaldinC the
engineer and slightly injuring our others all
OF whom Will recover. This too on Friday
iaSt- On Monday night week an unknown
man WAS killed near Beatty station, and
another was literally cut to pieces by the
cars IN kodamer's tunnel, near Greensburg.
On the Saturday night previous john Dow

THE RESULT IN CAMBRIA.-The follow
ing statement which is substantially correct,
shows the losses of Greeley last Tuesday in
the election districts in this county, so far Us
we have been able to ascertain them, a. COM
pared with Buckalew $ vote IN October when
the lattcr's majority was I55. In the t1reH-
tU-one southern or JonStOwn districts EN- bra
cling all that portion of the county south and
west of Groyle township, the loss on Bucka-
LEWIS vote was 531 g; Summerhill, 29; VIII
more, 2; Washington, 172; Munster, "a !;
Loretto, IL Allegheny, 10; Chest, 30; Sus-
quehanna, 1S; Carroll township and Car
roIltown borough, so; Barr, 40; the two
wards of Ebensburg and Cambria township,
T. In the above named districts Greeley ran
behind Buckalew ,064 votes We have
heard nothing from Croyle, Gallitzin, Sum
mitville, Clearficld, White and Chest Springs
the balance of the county-but 1t Is safe
10 say that Greeley ran behind Buckalew
in the county at least 200 votes. This Will
explain the reason why Grant has lnaJori-
ty of about 400 in Democratic Cambria, ana
no man will claim it as radical victory. In
the northern part of the county no Democrat
was base enough to compromise his polucai
integrity by voting for Grant, and we Ieel
very certain that the same can be said OF the
democracy of the southern portion. Jam
bria is democratic by ut least 200, and can
always give the State ticket that majority.
If certain local difficulties were out of the
way as we trust they will be before another
election occurs the democracy can give the
same majority TO a good county ticket. Inc
official returns, which we Will publish neN'
week, will fully explain the cause of the un-
toward result i'll this county.

\ SINGULAR ACCIDEST.-On the ever
ing of October 3lst, locomotive No. Al, u.
L. r., with no cars attached to it, was
standing At Gallitzin station. The engineer
had dismouuted to oil the outer machinery
of the locomotive, and the fireman was also
away from his post y train coming west
ward through the tunnel struck No. Al with
an almost imperceptible shock; yet, small
as il was, 1t had the effect of throwing wide
/ open the valve OF the locomotive, aud No.
A, with no human agency to govern its
motions, started westward, adOwn 4 grade
/ of eighty feet to the mile. Its momentum
! Increased mile by mile, can he better ilnag-
! iued than described. Immediately in front
/ of the National Hotel at Lilly's station, six
( miles from where it started on its eccentric
/ race No. A came in contact with locomotive
No. 13l, which was hauling the fourth Gin
I cinnatI Elk press. The former was running
/ at rate of speed which cannot be estimated,
/ and the latter making about six miles
an hour. The result was terrible wreck.
! Both locomotives were smashed to atoms,
and number of cars We're broken up. The
/ locomotives were absolutely tclcsCoped, and
/ in a fashion attempted 10 climb one over the
! other. Notwithstanding the terrible smash,
nobody was hurt. The fireman of No. 13l
jumped off his locomotive and sustained no
injuries, and the engineer, Joe Henderson,
who formerly resided in This town, remained
/ on the locomotive, with his hand on the
throttle valve, and escaped without a scratch
SO soon as the runaway engine had left
Gallitzin telegram was sent TO CrcssOn to
intercept it and run it off the track, but a
delay in the transmission of the message
sufhced to allow it to pass the latter station
before the idea could be accomplished. All
III all, ii a most singular miShap, and
has only its parallel in that celebrated acct
dent where a runaway passenger train went
downward along the identical same slope of
road and struck Powell Sharps train at or
very near the scene of this collision.
