 -One of the saddest bereavements ever recorded in the annals of human misery resulted from an accident on. tine Mem phis & Louisville railroad on Tuesday of last week. Lieut.. George Webster U. s. A., of this place, was going on with hls family, consisting of wife, nurse and only child, an infant not quite a year old, to Arkansas whither he had been ordered | from Frankfort, Ky. Near Guthrie. Ky, an accident occurred which killed Mrs. Webster and her child, and injured, more or less, twelve other persons. Lieut.. Webster escaped unhurt and was obliged to go on to Arkansas, taking the remains of his wife and child with him. We have seen no particulars of the accident in any of the papers, nothing but brief tele- graphic despatch having appeared, as far as we can learn, regarding it in the Eastern papers. sor -z,ss:r s..eE.-a L-5 i---
 Lieut.. Webster's mother and grands mother are here, and from telegram re- ceived by the former it appears that the accident occurred in the night. They are daily expecting letters giving full particu- iars. lc slsesass94 a9-zp 1- sr 5- -<=- The Sons of Temperance celebrated the first anniversary of their organization, on Thursday evening, by a public meeting and lecture at the Congregational church and afterwards by an oyster supper in their hall, at which Grand Worthy Patri- arch Welton and other Wolcottyille mem bers, Mir. Carswell. Rev. MT. Taylor, and other invited guests, were present. The affair was an uncommonly pleasant one and rounded up the first year of Bantam Division very neatly. The Sons now number over eighty, mostly young people. certainly very successful start. Every one. comedies the good influence of such an organization, and all that is now neces- sary is to keep it going. ..-..... 1 The eloquent address delivered by Dr. Henry in this place recently in behalf of the Episcopal Indian Mission is pub lished in full in the Church Journal of Dec. 26, 1872. Every humane person will agree with Dr. Henry in denouncing the past misconduct of our Indian affairs and in hoping the best from the recent policy of the government. Still we must not forget that the problem is most difficult and hitherto an insoluble one. We look for no permanent civilization of the In- dian without an abandonment of his old communal, tribal system for one that will give each individual his entire property in severalty, and full American citizen ship. ,..s-- -.
