Fatal Railroad Accident.

The Wednesday night express going
south met with terrible accident at
South WalIngford The train consisted
of an engine, baggage car one passenger
coach and the Wagner sleeping car
About thirteen miles south of Rutland
they encountered broken rail. The en-
giuc passed safely over bat the passenger
and sleeping cars were both thrown from
the track, the passenger car remaining
upon the road bed, but the sleeping car
rolling down the embankment in a mar.
BILE yard.
TWAS nearly midnight and the weather
was intensely cold. The passengers were
escaping from the car as best they could,
assisted by those from the passenger car
and the villagers attracted to the spot,
many of them in their frantic haste CON-
ing forth with only their night clothing to
shield them from the keen air, AS fast
as the injured we're taken out they were
removed to places of safety in the depot
building, 1t soon became evident that
the car was on fire, and before the work
of rescue was complete Mr.. C. II. Bis.

with his son occupied berth in the for
ward end of the sleeping car, got safely
out but being made aware that his son
was still in the burning car went back to
save him, aud being overpowered by the
smoke was burned to death. The posi-
ton of the charred remains showed that
the father must have been overcome
while entering the window, as the body
was found inside the car and the feet
projecting through the window. The
CHARGED body of young Bissell was also
found, and he had evidently been suffo.
Gated in tho attempt to escape from the
car.
There were nine or ten passengers il

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1876.

AZ Next Tuesday occur the annual
March meetings for the election Of town
officers, including selectmen, clerk, treas
urer, auditors, constable and collector,
grand Jurors, etc. The ominous sounds
of the approaching contest begin to be
heard in circles which make and unmakes
the town dignitaries. Those who are
most capable of judging of candidates and
their qualifications are quito apt to keep
silence and allow the noisy, demonstra-
tive, unthinking men to make the candi-
dates TO be supported, while those who
ought to be leaders have only choice Of
evils at the election. Many even,
through disgust or other insufficient cause
keep away entirely and suffer the election
to go wrong by default. Such are and
ought to be held responsible. If, for in.
stance, temperance men by their negli.
gence or absence allow officers who nave
done their duty to be sacrificed by those
who have become hostile to them because
of their fidelity, such temperance men
are verify guilty. So if we permit, with
out the protest of our vote against them
the election of inefficient or dishonest mer
to any position whatever. for any cause
whatever, we are equally in the wrong a:
if we had helped elect them, except thai
our act is a negative instead of positive
one. AL voters who desire the prosper
ity Of the country, who approve of ten

positions, economy of administration ant

couraged 10 break away entirely from
Turkish rule. The Crimean war grew
out of the interference Of Russia with the
affairs Of the two provinces, Wallachia
and Moldaviu, when England and France
stepped in to prevent the contamination
of Russia'H designs Ai.er defeating
Russia, however, they stipulated with the
Porto for the substantial independence Of
these provinces, and they were united un-
der the name Of Roumanis, and it has
snce been little moro than nominally
tributary 10 the Sultan, being compelled
to pay yearly tribute of 100000 to
the Ottoman court. Roumania lies just
north of the Danube, adjoining Russia
and Austria, and has population Of four
millions.
Servia, another semi.dependent priuci'
pality holding the Greek faith, lies west
Of Roumania, on the south of the Dan.
ube. adjoining Austria, and has popu.
lation of something more than one million
For two centuries, the twelfth and thir.
teenth, their independence was absolute,
with a largely increased territory. Since
then it has been more or less subject to
Turkey, paying an annual tribute and
being represented by the Sultan at foreign
courts.
Herzegovina, still smaller province
lies upon the Adriatic sea, and is now in
apparently successful rebellion. Indeed
she has only been subjected to Turkish
rule at brief intervals since the Mussul
men first pushed their conquests into
Europe. The sympathy OF the Chris
tian powers with this struggling princi
pslity has and will keep it from annihila
ton, though the fear of Rus.ia's aggres
sive policy has thus far prevented de
cisive action on the part OF the Wcsteil
powers. Indeed, it is one OF the per

Our inquiring friend has touched upon

equally silent upon this subject. A little

how little knowledge is readily obtainabls
