The night Pullman train from Boston, which is
due at Augusta at 2.39 A. NJ, was three and
half hours late Saturday morning, by reason of
smash up near Seabrook, caused by misplaced
switch. The train had just left Seabrook, sta
ton few miles this side of Ncwbulypor, when
precipitated from the track, smashing the
Pullman and one two passenger cars.
Luckily no one was Killed, and only ono passen-
ger injured, he receiving blow the head from
some Of the debris. The train was running at the
rate of thirty five miles an hour, and it is a great
wonder that the whole train not wrecked and
many people killed, The afternoon mail train
due here at 40, and the evening train, due here
at S, were both two hour, late We learn that an
employee on the train was somewhat hurt.
We have a snake story from Nassalboro'. De-
LA, Vests and AImina, daughters of the late
Jeihro Gardiner Of Nassalboro', who live at the
old homestead, have been in the habit OF keeping
their pet canary birds in the attic of the house,
away from the naughty cats, and as was supposed
away fiom all other enemies of the pet bird race.
There the little ones have been hatched and
Lmsed, and there they have learned TO sing their
baby songs TO the delight Of the anxious mother
binds and the household of sisters. The other
day to her great CONSERVATION, one Of the ladies
discovered, while entering the attic huge,
roted adder reclining in coils on chair, with
Gerce eyes glaring nenty at a group of birds,
expecting momentarily TO secure one for good,
.quarc meal. The big brother of the family was

1T is surprising to fnd," says the St. Louis
HdtehmaR, what small numbsR Of men there
are in any parish that are capable Of doing any
thing for it. That the number IL small can be
seen from the fact that no matter what comes
up none but select few can be found to take
hold of it. Special collections, management
of festivals school business, ietc., everything
that requires the appointment of committee,
finds the same dozen or half dezen men called
upon to serve. Their names have become as
familiar as household words, and they have go
many Offices to fill that they can hardly re-
member the names of them, let alone perform
ing the duties Would it not be well to relieve
these gentlemen of portion of their BURDEN

JOHN FoRsYTH-Col. John Forsyth, of Mo-
bile, with vyhose recent death our readers are
already acquainted, was the most distinguished
editorial writer of the South aud one Of her
ablest men. As o devoted patriot and sincere
leader of thought, honest, fearless and single
hearted, he had no superior. Col. Forsyth,
whether at the bar, in the Leg islative Assem-
bly,, on the foreign mission or in the editorial
chair, is too much Of historical parsonage to
need o biographical sketch at our hands In
noticing his demises it is merely to give ex-
preston to n sympathy which We share with a
whole people, to recognize the loss which We
have sustained as citizens of a bereaved coun-
