SINCE last Saturday evening rumors have
been afloat as to an accident on the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad somewhere be-
tween Harrisburg and Philadelphia. The
Lancaster Express tells all about it as fol-
lows:
The Harrisburg Express which left the
latter CITY about 6:l5 On Saturday morning,
met with an accident near Christiana.
There were over three hundred passengers
on board, ard the train had just reached
the crossing east Of Ncrth Bend, "a short
distance east of Christiana), when one OF
the wheels OF the tank broke, precipitatIng
the engine, tender and baggage car over a
small enhancement, and drawing six of the
passenger cars from the track. The noise,
the confusion, the heavy jarring, were all
calculated TO spread the greatest alarm, and
for time il was impossible 10 ascertain
the amount Of damage doue TO property or
person. Whilst the engine and cars were
of course more or less damaged, II was dis
covered (strange as il may seem) that not a
passenger or train hand was is the least in
iured. The passengers were transferred to
the Lancaster Express and TO the second
section of Harrisburg Express east and went
on their way rejoicing.
No blame attaches to any one, the accl-
dent occurring from circumstances beyond
the control OF the most careful. lt is the
first alarming accident that we have had
any knowledge of for years between TINS
city and Philadelphia.

MrssrESr EVENINGS boy who
spends an hour of each evening loung
Ing idly on the street corners, wastes In
the course Of a year three hundred and
sixty-fve precious hours, which. IL ap-
piled to study, would familisri.e him
with tho rudiments of almost any of
tho familiar sciences. If IN addition to
wasting an hour zach evening he spends
ten cents for cigar, which is usually
the case, the amount thus worse than
wasted would pay for ten ofthe leading
psriodicals Oftie country. Boys, think
OF these things. Think how much time
and money you are wasting, AMI for
what' The qualification afforded by
the lounger on the corner or the cigar Is
not only temporary but positively hurt
ful. You cannot indulge In them with.
out seriously injuring yourselves. You
acquire idle and wasteful habits which
will cling to you with each succeeding
year. You may, in after life, shake
them off. but the probabilities are that
the habits thus formed In early life will
remain with you to your dying day.
De warned, then, in time, and resolve
that a. the hour spent in idlenes, is
gone forever, you will improve each
passing one and thereby fit yourself for
usefulness and pleasure.

How BARNS ARE BURvED.-A gcntle-
man residing in an adjoining county
narrowly escaped being burned out a
short time since. lie was walking
through the entry facing his horse
stalls, when there was snap and a
flash under his foot. aud in an instant
~ quantity of ioose hay lying near was
in a blaze. Fortunately a bucket OF
water was at hand and the premises
were saved from ruin. !Some one of
the farm hands, while working in the
entry, had dropped from his po:ket a
parlor match. which. when trod upon.
iynited; and had not the owner discov.
ered it, his barn would have been laid
an ruins. Doubtless nearly every con-
tlagration We are called upon to record,
happens by such careless means. 4
match Is dropped about the building
's trod upon by horse or other stock, {,
the fire blsaes up, the barn is burned,
and tho tramp" gets the blame. Farm
hands should not, under any circum-
stances, be allowed to enter the barn
or outbuildings with matches loose in
their pockets.

Curing A Turkey. There Is nc
thing a young unmarried man likes
better than TO go TO dinner at the
house Of friend and to be asked &c
carve the turkey. lie never carved q
turkey in his life, and with an old
maid OH one side Of him watching him
closely and on the other side a fail
girl for whom he has a tenderness, he
feels embarrassed when he begins. First
he pushes the knife down toward one
Of tho thigh joints. He can't find the
joint, and he plunges the knife around
in search of it until he makes mince
meat Of the whole quarter of the fowl
Then lie sharpens his knife and tackles
il again. At last, while making n ter-
riable dig, he hits the joint suddenly,
and tho leg flies into the maiden lady's
lap while her dress.front is covered
with shower of stufiing. Then he
goes for the other ley, and when the
young lady tells him he looks warm,
the weather seems to him suddenly to
become 400 degrees warmer. This leg
he finally pulls loose with his fingers.
Ho lays it on the edge of the plate,
and while he is hacking at the wing he
gradually pushes the leg over on the
clean table.cloth. and when he picks
II up II slips from his hand into the
gravy dish and splashes The gravy
around for six square yards. Just as
he has made up his mind that the tur.
key has no joints TO its wings, tho host
asks him If he thinks the Indians can
really be civilized. The girl next to
him laughs, and he says he will exs
plain his views upon the subject after
dinner. Then he sops his brow with
his handkerchief and presses the turkey
so hard with the fork that it slides
off. the dish and upsets q gobIet of
water on the girl next to him Near
ly frantic, he gOuges away again at the
wings, gets them off in. a mutilated
condition, and digs into the breast.
Before he can cut any of, the host
asks him why he don't help ont the
turkey. Bewildered, he puts both legs
on a plate and hands them TO the NAL
den lady, and then helps the young
lady TO plateful of stufiing, and while
taking her plate in return, knocks
over q gravy dish. Then he sits down
with the cslmness Of despair md fans
himself with q napkin, while the sers
Want clears the table. He dosnet dis.
cuss the Indian question that day lie
goes home right after dinner ahd
spends the night trying TO decide
whether TO commit suicide or to take
lessons in carving.--Er.
