ACCORDING to the statement of
the conductor Of one Of the trains de-
nolished by the accident Monday on
the Baltimore & Potomac railroad,
the engineer Of the north bound train
deserves either to be hanged or sent
to a lunatic asylum; as he twice neg
lected, or refused, to notice a signal to
stop, while running his train at very
high speed over the wrong road.

In central Illinois spring farm work
is about fifteen days late as compared
with the average Of the last ten years,
and farmers are correspondingly dis
couraged. The cold dry weather
prevents the termination Of seed, and
has extensively damaged the pros
poets as regards small fruits, and re-
tarded the growth Of grass to such an
extent that there is not yet a bit Of
*pasturage.

that all sorts of business is overdone,
and that an immense number of peo-

German newspaper, in an earnest e6i-

Of remunerative occupations. Me.
chanics by the thousand are out of

their resources, are without the means
of removing their families to more
favored localities. Mr.. Ramsey met
with an estimable man, formerly of
Anoka, skllltul mechanic, who was
out Of work and had been for many
months, and who could not even get
an opportunity to labor for his board.
Farmers who have removed to CAL

chanics and laborers, for the quantity
Of arabic land in the State is out of
