So Yestertlay afterncon'the " Bald Eagle
. c. p. Engine, was moving southwark
towarxl the Clear Creek Flume at the rate
OF unknown miles an hour, with two flats
in front. Passing over the low swampy
grounds northeast of and within quar-
ter Of mile from Maj. Gardeners resi-
dence a horse that Gas grazing close by
the fence to the left, stepped UPON the
track. The engineer Chains that he
could not see the horse on account of the
rack car in front which INSTRUCTED the
view. The horse started down the track
and tried to escape, as his hoof marks in
dictate, but was overtaken before he had
gone Fifty yards The front car running
over him crushed him into n mass, and
was pitched off fifteen or twenty feet
from Che track; the wheels being heavier
than the frame work were thrown only a
few feet to one side, leaving the rails dis
placed and broken. There were two yard
men al O .rd one of whom Charles Styler
seeing the danger pitched off to the
right and came down upon mud bed
from which he emerged with leg and
ankle badly sprained. The other man
A, II. ThOmpson-remained on board
after the car struck the horse, was hurled
with it off the track headlong to the left,
and buried beneath the debris of the shat
tered flat. He was relieved from this
situation Of torture by Charley Styler who
went as quickly as possible to his assist
ance. Thompson is badly hurt, his leg
being severely mashed, and his back
sprained.
r ~ second car ran off then from Il e
torn up track, and the engine following
il plunged off and buried the COW catcher
and front wheels with its immense weight
deep into the mire On board of the en-
CINE there were four men: Dan Wilson,
the yard master, Kelly, the engineer, the
fireman and another man, who all escaped
unhurt except Wilson. He was hurled
forward by the conclusion against the
boiler head; his ribs and head receiving
the violence Of the shock, he was taken
away after the catastrophe, crushed.
The fiat cars are o complete and utter
wreck. The locomotive sustained no
material damage. Some parts OF the
wooden structure, and outer unprotected
iron works were injured, but not to the
extent of keeping her in the workshop q
day. The great trouble is to get her
back on the track. The stoppage Of
transportation from the hume to the de
pot is rather embarrassing to the railroad
company, as they have been bringing
down only small quantities Of wood and
LUMBER, such as they required for ship
ment or for their own immediate use.
The horse killed was . large fine sorrel
belonging to Major Gardner.

Our poetical Albert left the Office about
9 O'Clock Wednesday evening to attend
the festivities which he reported to us as
fellows, in his own words:
''On Wednesday evening a number of
the young folks Of Carson, friends of the
family of Mr.. Elrod, met at his house at
about eight o'clock, for the purpose of
giving an agreeable surprise to Miss
Emma Elrod, daughter of the gentleman.
The party assembled during the absence
of the young lady from home, who, on
her retain, finding SO manyof her friends
ready to greet her, hardly knew whether
to cry with veXation or joy.
The party consisted Of some sixteen
couples of Carson's fairest sons and
daughters, ranging from sixteen years Of
age upwards. The festivities of the even
ing were Of the most enjoyable character.
Singing and music, kissing games and the
like, were INDUCED in at the residence
until ten o'clock, when all were provided
with a bountiful supply of delicacies con-
sis in, of nuts, candies, C ,kes, fruit, ETC.,
in the disposal of which all lent helping
hand, appearing in a happy and contented
mood. Spirited songs were sung, jokes
propounded and music Oh the piano given
with a vim and vivacity characteristic of
the young folks Of ''our own quiet home"
Shortly after ten O'Clock the party, one
of the Eaerriest and most fun-loving ever
gotten together within the limits of the
Capital, adjourned to Moore & Parker's
Hall, where all engaged in dancing to
the music furnished by Prof. Varney,
Fiilibrown, and Fatty" Moore until one
O'Clock Thursday morning, when tired
nature, overcome with the pleasures of
the evening gave way, and the merry
makers retired to their several places of
abode, to seek relief ia dreams and sweet
repose.
The party was one of the most pleasant
gatherings of the young folks of our quiet
burgh it has been our lot to witness, and
showed that all entered into the arrange
ment with a spirit and determination of
having good time. We congratulate
our friend Miss Emma on the agreeable
surprise afforded her, and hope our young
folks will cultivate the disposition to
make merry with each and all of their
friends by occurrences of q similar nature
during the Winter.
"A surfeit Of the sweetest things,
The deepest l0sthing to the stomach brings"
These are the words of the poet. But,
if we may judge from the pleasant gather
ing Of Wednesday evening. the truth of
the above quotation is set at nau9ht."

A Series of Da ncing Sociablcs.

We had a call night before last from
Professor Varrey. We are sorry to have
to report that his first attempt to start
his soirees has not proved success.
The reason why is one of the things
which we set down as inc comprehensive.
He offers US Just what We feel sure our
townsfolk wish. He is a gentleman in
every respect, and comes to US warmly
recommended by parties Of high
standing in Virginia where his efforts
have been eminently successful. The
ladies' and gentlemen of Virginia say that
they enjoy his Saturday evening enter
fainmentss much more than dress balls.
These parties are all sociability withou,
any of the stiffness Of display and for
nality of dress. The Professor is
coming next Wednesday, and he is COM
in, every Wednesday to show the Car
son public that he can and will please
them. Next Wednesday evening the
first soiree of series of six will take
place ut Moore and Parker's Hall.

We visited this department yesterday
morning and spent the hour from II to
II o'clock listening to two Rotations, one
in arithmetic and the other in algebra.
The former class had their lessons re-
markably well prepared generally, and
We can say that there was hardly single
total failure made, although-andt this is in
evitable in any schuol-one OF two pupils
did not do as well as they might. This
accident will not befali the same delin-
quents when we call to see Mr.. Howe
again, We feed sure. Mr.. Howe.s nl;in-
ner Of teaching figures is admirable. The
class solve all the problems of the lesson
on their .slnte, if they can, aud when
called upon they state what they have
done which is recorded fer good or bad !:
and then having eHaced their work from
their states. the same problems are given
out one after another which the class are
required to solve over again ON the mo =
m+nt. This teaches them to use their
minds independently of the text book,
and engenders lively spirit of rivalry to
work, the most rapidly and think the
quickest. And then comes the demon
stration, which in the way that Mr.. II.
teaches it, is the very best logic for voang
minds. He requires the rules and tables
thoroughly analysed and committed to
memory In the pointed and appropriate
English of the author, which teaches to
think and developes a parallel power OF
expression at the same time. The young
sters will thank their preceptor tor this
when they go out to practice what they
have learned; for OF all perplexing per-
piexities the most perplexing is to keep
the power of thought and expression de-
veloped equally and together.
MIR. Howe's algebra class consistinScf
the larger boys and girls seems to be max
ing filst-rate progress. We were not n
little surprised to hear some responses of
perfect frOu young misses and young gem
tlemen in answer to their teachers In
quiry with regard to the difficult subject
OF their lesson. This is, for the most Of
enc class, the krst time of going over the
text; and vet they seem to comprehend
the application of the Binominal Theo-
rem quite we'll. We anticipate real
treat when We shall one day have the
privilege of hearing the same class enter
into the demonstration of Newton's great
theory in the abstract.
We are little surprised that parents
and those generally who feel an interest
in the education of the young do not visit
the schools oftener. The teachers and
children are alike glad to see their friends
in the school room. The former will be en-.
couraged by this evidence that their ardu-
Gus labors are not unappreciated, and the
latter will be cheered by your irrepressible
smiles Of commentator, and melted to
greater efforts and higher emulation
thereby.

Judge Stanley was when he called on
him when boy with his mother. He
soon after failed, when he surrendered
his books, notes-all his property to his
creditors to be divided between them.
1t paid part of their debts, he after
wards paid the remainder Judge Stan
ley's remains now lie in yard which he
gave to the town for a burial ground,
but no stone marks his resting place. 1t
was a duty, then, which the people of
Poultney owed to his memory that a
suitable monument be erected to his
memory.
William H. Poor, John Newman and
A. E. Knapp were appointed a commit
tee to solicit subscriptions for that pur-
pose and obtained about 800 before the
meeting closed. The necessary funds
will be raised and the monument erected.
The meeting was very interesting
one, and we judge will be profitable by
way of eliciting information for the
forth coming history of Poultney.
GRANT AND WILSON CLUB.
In the evening the members Of the

the reason why he is safe for the South,

Vermonters want another war with Sc

The bans of marriage between the
Democratic party and the Liberal Re
publicans of Addison county, were pub
lished some weeks since, and the mar
rage was consummated last Friday in
the presence of some 90 persons. The
knot was tied in breathless silence, fol-
lowed by hearty congratulations. AT
first the bride, Miss Liberal Republican,
was somewhat charry, and needed some
cooling and billing, while the bridegroom
! protested that no harm need be feared,
| that the best of results would come from
| the union, and that the bridal couch was
pure and unsullied as the driven snow.

and great rejoicing followed. | trust

West Virginia.

It appears now that Mr.. Jacob, tie
present Governor Of West Virginia, has
been reelected by a large majority. The
regular Democratic Greeley ticket has
suffered an overwhelming defeat Some
of the Greeley organs say, this election
has no political significance and go so
far even. as to claim that both the can
didates for Governor were open support
ers of Greeley and Brown. But this is
aot true Camden, the regular Demo
cratic candidate, was openly for Gree
leyo but Jacob was. generally supposed
to be against Greeley, because he boltcd
the regular Democratic nomination, and,
also. because he refused to declare for
Greeley. He was supported by Repub-
licans and a portion of the Democrats,
as the anti-Grecley candidate, and part
of the State ticket headed by his name,
was Republican His position, accord
ing to a reporter of the New York, Trj-
6alae, was stated in one of his speeches,
as follows:
"Gov. Jacob spoke at Lewisburg. yes
terday, to an audience composed chiefly
of administrations and ColOred people.
He declined to permit a reply. He de-
nounced the Parkersburg convention as
unfair, and declared himself the choice
of the people He said he had been bad
ly treated, and appealed to the assem-
blage not to see him stricken down. The
negroes all left at the close of his speech.
Though questioned, he declined to COM
NIT himself either for or against the
constitution, or for or against Greeley"
What he will do in regard to the Pres.
idential question, will be known when
he shall decide to explain himself more
distinctly; but there are not few Dem
ocrats in West Virginia who will sup
port the Louisville nominations or vote
for Grant and Wilson, and it seems very
probable that Gov. Jacob is one Of them.
Be this as it may, he has been voted for
as an anti-Greeley Democrat, and tri-
umphantly elected, on this ground. 1t
would be absurd to think that national
politics did not enter into this election.
Gov. Jacob recognized this influence by
seeking the support of voters opposed to
Greeley and Brown. He had nothing to
expect from the other side, whose ticket
and action in convention he repudiated;
and in this we see what his election sig
nifies politically. The latest reports
state that the new State constitution has
been adopted by small majority, and
that the separate provision disqualifying
colored voters for holding office, has
been defeated.

The International Statistical Com
EreSS.


The eighth session of the Information
al Statistical Congress assembled at ST.
Petersburgh, on the Goth of August
last, having been postponed by the Rus
sian government from the same date last
year. The primary labor of the COM
mittee was the proper division of the
Congress into sections, arranging it 50
that at least one delegate from each
country should take part in each, thus
giving the convention a proper interna-
tional character These sections are
four in number. divided as follows: To
the first are assigned statistics of pOpu-
lation, with the methods of obtaining
those statistics to the second, statistics
of industry; to the third, statistics Of
commerce and postal relations; and to
the fourth, statistics of criminal justice.
A preliminary congress will be held
four days before the1opening Of the reg
ular session, for the purpose Of deciding
upon the details Of the programme 10 be.
carried out.
Under the first section, not only the
mum Der, age, sex, trades and professions

tries are considered as proper subjects
for discussion, but the condition, intel
