RAILROAD ACCIDENT

The express train west on the
Pittsburg and Erie road Saturday
morning was wrecked near Oil City
Pa. A freight train went on the
side track, but as the latter was not
long enough four cars were left on
the main line. The flagman left to
warn the express went into the ca
boose and went to sleep. When the
engineer saw the freights he put on
the air brakes so quick that the
train broke at the baggage car, and
the rear cars Stacked. The engine
and baggage car struck the freight
cars, which was filled with merchand-
ise smashing them into klndling
wood. The engine was totally
wrecked.and also the baggage cars.
Some of the passenger coaches left
the track but were not damaged.
The engineer and fireman jumped.be
fore the crash and the former had
an arm broken. The fiagman said
that the weather was too cold and
that he would not stay outside for
anybody. All the trains were de-
layed about twelve hours. The loss
will be heavy.

THE SANDWICH ISL ANDs.

Touching the Sandwich Islands
and the proposed annexation, Mark
Twain comes out in a letter intended
to be serious. He says: spent
several months in the Sandwich Is
lands six years ago, and, if / could
have my way about it / would go
back there and remain the rest of
my days. 1t is paradise for an
indolent man. If a man is rich he
can live extensively, and his grad
deur will be respected as in other
parts of the earth if he is poor he
can herd with the natives and live
on next to nothing, he can sun him
self all day long under the palm
trees, and be no more troubled by
his conscience than q butterfly
would. Now fittings be as Twain
represents-and with his well es-
tablished character for veracity be-
fore us, who can doubt it?-perhaps
we might have a use for the Islands.
Surely they would suit for a home
for Retired Successful Politicians.
There is not community on the
continent which would not, more or
less cheerfully, volunteer immediate
contributions.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE,

The first monthly report of the
Bureau OF Statistics for the fiscal
year 1S72-3just published, gives the
statistics Of our foreign trade for
July, 1872, and for the seven months
ending the same, compared with the
corresponding periods of the preced-
ing year, from which it appears that
the total value of foreign commodi-
ties remaining in the warehouses of
the United States, July 81, 1872, was
$112.S96, $50, as compared with $70,-
257, S75, July 81, 1871. Allowin g
for the difference in the warehouse
account, the imports for the seven
months ending the last of July, 1872,
are upwards of thirty three million
dollars, or abont S,69per cent,in ex-
cess of the domestic and foreign ex
ports combined, while for the CORES
ponding period of the previous year
the. exports exceeded the imports
by 81, ,755, ,764, or about one-half of
one per cent. A little over seventy
one per cent, of this trade was car
ried in foreign vessels as compared
with sixty-eight per cent. for the
corresponding period of the previ-
GUS year.

ENGLISH IRON MARKET

At the time when the maximum
prices In the English iron market
were reached, the free traders of this
country declared that the increase
fully demonstrated the correctness
of their theories and the folly of the
protective policy, for the reason
that, if they had only waited for it,
the iron masters of the United States
could have made iron cheaply
enough to compete with the English
market. Since the beginning of
last August, up to the latter part of
December, there has been an aver
age decline In the British iron trade
of about eighteen per cent. in bar
iron, of twenty-five per cent. in
strips, and of four per cent. in rails.
The decline in coal is about thirteen
per cent. What do these doctors
of political economy think of the
value of their doctrines now?

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of Ohio re-
Gently made decision which pos
sesses considerable interest for the
public generally, the point at issue
being to what extent habits of in
temperance make policies of life in
surance void. The person. insured
died about eight months after the
policy was taken out, and it was
proved that at the time of effecting
it,and thereafter until hedied he was
addicted to habitual intemperance,
from the effects of which his death
resulted. The Court divided the
drinking classes into three groups,
those who drink sometimes and up
on occasions as it were more by ac-
cident than otherwise, but in SO ex-
ceptional a manner that no one can
say they have any habit in regard to
such use, those who acquire a con-
slant appetite for intoxicating liqu-
ors and a regular habit of using
them, SO that the system is kept un-
der the immediate influence of
alcoholic stimulants, and those who
while remaining sober for a month
three or six months, or even a year
at time, and refusing to taste any
intoxicating drink. then go upon
debauch of greaterior less intensity,
and lasting for longer or a shorter
period. These two latter classes
were held to come within the pro
hi bition of the policy, which stipu-
lated that if the insured should die
by reason of Intoxicating liquors,
the policy should be void and of no
effect. In the case under reference
the insured, ordinarily an efficient
business man, belonged to that class
whose constitutionally nervous ap-
petite for alcoholic stimulants
amounts to disease, and whose ex-
cesses no earthly consideration or
persuasion can arrest until prostra-
tion and sickness compel cessation.
The Court therefore, entered Judge
ment for the company, reversing the
decision of the Court below.

Washington Correspondence Cleyela
Leader.
HON. JAMES MONROE.

But while most Congressman are
receiving the homage of their con-
stituents and poor relations, Hon.
James Monroe is here, busily occu
pied with his legislative duties.
There is not harder working man
In Congress, or one who works to
better purposes. Mr.. Monroe is of
New England stock, college bred,
and has had several years expert
ence as legislator and foreign minis
ter. He is man of ripe scholarship
and of remarkable ability. He was
for several years professor of belle
lettres in a stuanch western college,
and, during the eight years spent
abroad he devoted himself to liter
ary pursuits. Certainly there are
few men who have more thorough
and appreciative knowledge of the
literature andphilosophy of the past
and present than he. That he COM
bines with ripe scholarship the es-
sential elements of a genuine states
man, is evidenced by his excellent
standing on the finance committee
and in Congress; and especially by
his mastery effort in vindication of
the financial policy of Secretary
Unless all signs fail, a
very successful political career is
before him.
Mr.. Monroe and his wife are val
liable accessions to the society of
Washington. Mrs. Monroe is a
lady of rare intelligence and refine
ment. She is a daughter of the re-
nown President Finney, and sister
of Mrs. j. D. Cox.

AT AUCTION.

An auction sale of the farming
stock of Horace Greeley took place
at Chappaqua, on Dechmber 18th.
The prices brought were exceeding
ly low, the whole amounting to less
than $1,000. The famous old COW,
"a years old sold for 600. An i'm
mense subsoil plow, too heavy for
four yoke of oxen, was knocked
down for 60 cents. Other patent
plows,' presented to Mr.. Greeley by
the inventors, were sold at prices
ranging from 40 to 60 cents each.
Mr.. Greeley's favorite old sorrel
mare brought $27. Miss Ida Gree
ley's black ponies were bid in by
her representatives for $3.50. An
Alderney bull, valued at 5000 was
sold for $780, two yoke of oxen for
$62 and $50 respectively, and five
COWS at an average of $25 each. Mr..
Greeley's daughters will rent the
farm.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.

Quite romantic marriage recent
ly took place between a wealthy
bachelor of Georgetown,D. c., and
the woman whose hand he had ca
gerly but vainly sought in his youth.
Fifteen years ago Miss--the
daughter of an officer ofthe Govern
ment, was beautiful, fresh, young
girl, admired and sought after at
the capital by many suitors, and one
a Mr.. -, of Georgetown, was so
sincere in his devotion to her that
she could not but accord him the
highest measure ofregard although
she gave her heart and hand to an
other. So deeply rooted was her
esteem for the rejected lover that,
when her first child, son, was born
she gave him the name she had re-
fused to accept for herself. Her hus-
band was an officer of the army and
was killed fighting on the southern
side in the second year of the re-
bellion, and his widow retired to a
certain city out West, and livid in
quiet and retirement with her child.
Last summer the boy, II years old,
sickened and died. The wealthy
bachelor of Georgetown saw the
death of his namesake in a newspa
per, and it was the first news he had
in many years of the woman he had
wooed and lost. He determined to
write and renew the offer he had so
unsuccessfully made 10 years ago.
He wrote and offered himself and
all his possessions, on the condition
that he was to receive for an an
swer a decided yes or no. In due
time an answer came. The widow
said she was much changed by the
lapse of years, and more still by her
cares and Affections. She had lost
cheerfulness, beauty, and all that
once made her attractive; still, if
what remained of her former self
was worth the having, then her dear
old friend was welcome to the wreck
and in six weeks he might come to
to see her and the wedding day
should be fixed. The dear old
friend had waited too long to brook
even a days unnecessary delay, so
the next train after receipt of the
letter carried him to the home of his
beloved in the West. He found the
lady very much unprepared to re-
ceive him, she had not a tooth in
her head, and because her mouth
was being prepared for a false set
she had postponed the visit for six
weeks. But the ardent lover would
not wait for the teeth, and SO the
twain were made one in spite of this
little drawback. They are now liv-
ing in Georgetown, happy and pros
porous and not even the teeth are
wanting to enable the wife to enjoy
all the good things offered for her
acceptance.
