SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

A terrible smash up on the p, w. & B.
Railroad occurred on Friday morning last,
about 9 o'clocl1, two miles east of Whining
ton. The express passenger train which
leaves Philadelphia at II o'clock was stop
ped on the track at the point the catastro-
phe took place, by the giving ont of its
engine. While standing on the track it
was overtaken by the express from New
York; the engine of the latter running
into the hind car of the stationary train in
which was 10 passengers, all of whom were
either killed or injured. A man named
Metz who lives in Wilmington, was killed
outright, and his wife. his son and his
sons wife all injured fatally or dangerous
ly. One colored man was caught in the
wreck and had one of his legs taken off
We learned on Friday morning that four
Of the victims had died. The passengers
in the other cars were some of them in ur-
ed by the shock, but we did not learn that
any of them were seriously hurt. Mr.. VIM.
Falls, proprietor of the Howard House, of
this town, and wife were on board the train
in forward car and escaped serious injury.
Mr.. Falls received wrench in the back by
the collision, causing considerable pain,
but no serious injury. 1t seems that a
signal man had been sent back with light
to warn the approaching train, but not in
time to stop it.

ELKTON. NOVEMBER Is, 1879.

BAD FRIENDs.-Mr. Greenbacks and US
used to be somewhat familiar, but cool
ness has grown up between US latterly; we
seldom clasp hands nowadays, and when
this courtesy does take place it is the light
est possible shake imaginable. We are
the more exercised on account of this
onpleasantness, as We have always
shown disposition to not only main
tain friendly, but cordial relations with
the magnate. We are in searching
for q cause for this unpleasant state
of affairs, inclined to attribute it in a
great measure to our subscribers and
advertising patrons, who have not spoken
anything derogatory Of US that we are
aware; but at their studied avoidance
amounting to almost cold neglect, Green
backs, who is a fair weather friend, has
taken the alarm. Though detestable
snob, under the present deplorable organi-
cation of society it is difficult to get along
without the deceitful and hollow friend
ship of Greenbacks. We appeal to our GUS
toners, who are now apprised of this dis
agreeable " enplsasantness, as Nasty ex-
presses it, to renew their old intimacy with
the Office and pay calls regularly, either by
card or in person, that Greenbacks may be
induced to lower his head and assume his
former customary relations with u.s.
Though a detestable boorish old cur, in
our opinions, butchers and bakers and
grocers appear to fairly worship the clown,
and avoid all whom he is not familiar with.

Another Dayy Crockett.

[ From Cumberland (Tenn.) Republican,
The champion Republican ef the Third
District in many respects is the most ex-
traordinary member that will take his seat
in the Forty-third Congress of the United
States. In the first place he is ugly-all
great men are-yet few, indeed, have SO
much good and quick common sense; and,
as to personal courage, Julius Caesar never
had more; and, possibly, Napoleon Bona
parte not quite SO much.
1t was Bill Crutchteld (this is his real
name) that bristled up SO squarely and
determinedly to Jefferson Davis in 1861 as
he was ON his way from the United States
Senate to the Presidential chair of
the Southern Confederacy. Crutchfield,
listening to Davis speech in Chattanooga,
could stand his vile traducings of our Ma
tional Government no longer, denounced
him as traitor and liar. 'if he was the
War Horse of Mississippi" Davis moving
to resent the insult (as he felt it, Crutch-
field drew his repeater, and but for quick
and persistent interpostion of byStanders,
Davis would have been slain.
In many respects Crutchtie'd will be a
reproduction of Davy Crockett. He is as
plain an old shoe. Although man of large
means, he dresses as laboring mechanic
or farmer. He is warm and liberal-heart-
ed, full of good humor-is the central fig.
ure of the social group; and what is spe-
cially fortunate for his constituents, he
means business. He is thoroughly indenti-
fled with the great industrial interests of
the people. An active friend of improve
ment and progress, and all which the peo-
pie of the Third District want or need, and
which energy and effort can obtain from
Congress, Crutch4ield will secure. Crutch-
field had a majority ranging from one to
two thousand against him, and his oppo-
nent man of large ability, popularity and
personal cleverness, yet "Bill" has won
by more than 900 majority.

After carefully reading one of the circu-
lars of Wells Grand Distribution, which
takes place in Bridgeport, Conn.,, Dec. 10
1872, we have become satisfied that it is an
enterprise worthy the attention and patron
age of all. 1t is a home affair, endorsed
by all the leading citizens of Bridgeport,
and the vast amount of property to be Civ
en- away will afford an opportunity to hun
dreds of securing valuable gifts of various
kinds, including Houses and Lots, Horses
and Carriages, Bank Stock, Government
Bonds, and many articles we have not space
to enumerate. All are advised to send ear
ly to the Great Central Office of Wells
Grand Distribution, at Bridgeport, Conn,
and secure handsome Chrome or Engrav-
ing, ranging in price from 81 to SIS, and a
share in the Grand Distribution for each
dollars worth of pictures purchased.

PETERS MUSICAL MONTHLY completes
it's Tenth Volume with the December num-
Der, and it is doing Mr.. Peters but simple
Justice to state that his excellent magazine
is improving with age. 1t was good years
ago, when it first made its appearance. and
it has been steadily improving until the
present time. when it can only be pronouc-
ed perfect, and indispensable to every lover
of music. The December number, price
80 cents, contains three Ballads, Christ
mas Song, an Anthem, a Four handed
piece, as played at Theodore Thomas
Orchestral Concerts, and three splendid
Piano Pieces, any single piece being worth
in sheet-musc form more than Mr.. Peters
asks for the entire lot. Giving SO much
really good Music for such small sum, it
is no wonder that PETERS MUSICAL
MONTHLY has hosts of friends among our
music loving people. Those who have
seen it will, of course, renew their sub
cription for the coming year; other, less
fortunate, should send the Published, J.
L. Peters, 500 Broadway, New York, 81,
and secure the last four numbers as sample
copies, or So for years subscription.

A QUESTION OF INTEREsT.-A Boston
merchant having asked the question: "Who
is responsible for the loss occasioned by the
blowing up, with gun-powder, of the build
ings in this city at the late fire ?'' The re-
ply is made that the loss is precisely the
same as if they had been burned. If the
buildings blown up were at such distance
from the fire that it is doubtful if they
would have burned, the city may be held
responsible. An insurance case is quoted
from Wendell's New York Reports show
ing that the loss of buildings under such
circumstances is loss by fire within the
meaning Of the policy Of insurance.

In recent English book ga Bur-
gundian Vintage " by Amelia B. Edwards,
who has written some charming novels,
there occurs a passage well calculated to
amuse American readers. Speaking of busy
scene, the writer says: /" All day long. like
an overseer in Massachusetts cotton field,
Claude PAGES backward and forward be-
tween the courtyard and the vineyards
observant of everything" &c. 1t appears
singular that an authoress, whose books
show that she is evidently both educat-
ed and cultivated, should bestray such
ignorance
