SERIOUS AcciDENT.--On last Friday even-
ing, Mr. Job s. Craft, (who resides between
Washington's Crossing and Pennington,) was
struck by the locomotive of the 0 o'clock
down passenger train as he was crossing the
track at Bridge ST., in this city, for the pur-
pose Of taking the train to return home. He
was thrown some twelve or fifteen feet, be-
tween the track and the platform of the sta
ton, and it was almost miraculous that he
was not killed. His head was badly cut and
bruised, and he received bruises ON various
parts Of his body. For time he was uncon-
scious. Surgical aid was obtained, and he
was taken to his home. The accident was
the result Of recklcssncss on the part of Mr..
Craft.

eH- 1t is hardly necessary for us to write
an extended article, informing our readers
that Friday is Christmas and that "Christ
was born on Christmas Day" The fact is, the
latter statement would not be true, although
the carols SO assert. 1t is perhaps, as well,
though, that that day should be observed in
commemoration of the advent of the Saviour,
as that any other should be chosen. On the
approaching day let it be observed in the
spirit of Him who came with good will to
men, and let the needy be sought out & helped,
and thus learn the truth of that Scripture as
sertion " That it is more blessed TO give than
to receive"
