The statistics of mortality embodied in
the lately published report of Hon. r.
d. Harrison, Railroad Commissioner fol
the State of Ohio, seem TO show that, in
that State, at least, passengers killed on
railroads are themselves to blame. Dur
ing the year under review-1870-71-t
deaths occurring on the various railroads
in the State are as follows:
Passengers killed from their own miscon-
| duct or want Of proper caution, four; injured
from their own misconduct or want OF eau
ton, eleven. el .ta
Employees killed from causes beyond their
own control, nineteen; injured, forty-three.
Employees killed from their own misconduct
or want of caution, fifty-four; injured, one
hundred and sixty-two- FeL b j i'Fa a ~
Persons killed riding or waiting on tracks,
contrary to law, Ga; injured from same cause,
thirty-one.
The increase OF killed this year over last
k is thlFty-six per cent; increase of injured,
There was but one passenger injured from
causes beyond his own control to one million
seven hundre9 and fourteen Thousand two
hundred and eighty-six transported. z
The ratio OF passengers killed from their
own misconduct or earelessness was one to
three millions; the ratio of passengers injured
from c0relessnesS or want OF caution Is one to
one million ninety thousand nine hundred.
The proportion of accidents of all deserip-
tions 10 travellers to the whole number of per
sons transported was one to five hundred and
forty-fiye thousand four hupdFed and fifty-
four,
According to this showing, railroad
travel In Ohio isquite assafe as going slow
if not great deal more so, One of our
popular humoriSts once greatly amused
the public by a compilation of statistics
showing that it is q great deal more
dangerous to lie In bed than to travel by
rail, and, when we have iton official au-
thoFity that, in State operating nearly
four thousand miles of ofrailroad, the ratio
of accidents of all kinds to the number
OF passengers carried is as one to some
thing more than half million, we can
not resist the conclusion that the humor-
istwas right, after all, in buying aeci-
dent Insurance tickets only for the days
he did not travel. nl8a -

And stand up in tokon of power divine;
That spread out the heavens, and reared their
tall line.
In winter they re clad in pure garments ofwhiIc
In summer they glitter with foliage bright,
While down the tall nights the cool brCeacs do

Which cause delight to the travellers soul.

Transparcaty rolling through valleys Of
