FnsaI Accident.

On Saturday last, near Phlllipsburg sta

Lthgh and susquehanns Railroad met with
AN accdeht which resulted in his death. II
appears, says the Taiiey Record, MIR. VAN
s'utrn's Train was standing on the track
near the station, Whiting for $3.50 passenger
train from New York. This train as il an
preached the depot is divided, the forward
cars Ia run On the track connecting with the
L. x s., aud the last ear to be connected
with the Lehigh Valley train. Mr.. Van
sc'ten was "n his engine, and after the for
ward ears had passed, he stepped down from
his lucoin"tive To examine the ashmn, ,think-
ing that tho cars had all gone by. As he
stopped 10 Look under the locomotive, the
last passenger car, the approach Of which he
had not noticed, struck him on the left side
aud knocked him the length of three cars.
The injured man was picked up and ply.
sician sent for. His ribs were crushed IN
aud his lett arm brnken in three places. He
WAS badly injured internally. The attend
ing physician, after doing all that could be
done at that time, ordered Mr.. Vanscotcn to
lie taken home. where he died from the ef.
iects OF his injuries several hours later.

That ssAnxlous Bsnch, sermon.

Mr. EDITOR; am sorry, indeed, that Rev.
]. +. Freeman should so far forget himself
as to publicly disown his sermon preached
in the Weissport Reformed Church, Feb s.,
1881, synopsis Of which was fairly and
conscientiously reported for the readers of
the ADVOCATE. Your "relprter" did not
"write an article" TO riiicule" any one, but
simply reproduced, without comment, what
Rev. Freeman actually snid in his famous
sermon, aud therefore he made use of a
"modest" nom de plume. But isn't it too bad
that some other nom de plume should try to
coax one of F's church members away from
his church, "to join sect 2" wonder who
was so foolish as all thati II cannot have
been a Catholic, for he certainly would
know that F's church is a sect; and by no
means us good sect as that to which the
Apostle Paul belonged. See Acts xiv, lS
Ia in the German Bible, the English has
seemingly "lost by translation"
Rev. Freeman says my translation "smacks
of lead" Well, can't help il. It was
"lead" that made the original so heavy that
it might have done some fearful execution,
had there been powder and fire behind It,
But am glad tn say there Was nobody hurt;

The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade shows little
chsnge since our last report. The output is
large, being almost twice as heavy as at this
time last wear, so that the two months total
for 1851 is aver 100000 tons ahead of the
corresponding period Of 1880. While the
output continues large, however, there seems
to be some falling oil in orders, as if dealers
were hesitating in anticipation of lower
prices when the spring trade begins briskly
and the transportation Companies announces
their freight rates. There is no indication.
however. that these rates will change so as
to ELECT the trade in any melerial respect,
but the apprehension naturally induces
hesitation, Prices are still well maintained,
with very little accumulation of coal at the
shiPp'ng ports IN fact, at Port Richmond
the stocks are getting low. The collieries are
running in the sehuylkll region generally
at taree quarters Time, and this is expected
to continue throughout March. There is a
heaithy ieeling in the trade, large output
ana brisk business being anticipated, some
expecting that The total tonnage will exceed
'ha' oi any previous year.-Ladger, Monday.

"A Philadelphia correspondent of the n.

the following glimpse OF politics in and
around this State: Under the new Consti-
tuition Of Pennsylvania, sessions of the Leg
islature are held biennally, Therefore while

years, instead Of annually, as heretofore
they draw pay for only one session IN every
two years, which gives them just half the

average Pennsylvania legislator, this is a
grievious wrong, for which the regular and
only remedy is convoking the Legislature
in special session by the Governor When
everthere is.no, prospect Of such. a session
being called, the "boys," as our Assembly
men affectionally term each other, become
very respondent Last week they were in
high spirits over thegiailuro of Congress to
pass the ApporsinDment bill, as they firmly
believed that an extra session of the Assemb

next year. But thus glee of our Assembly.
men will give place to dependency as soon
as they learn Of the conclusions reached by
Gov. Hoyt and Secretary Quay that no
special session Of the Assembly is necessary
for that purpose. Col. Quay is ofthe opinion
that even if the Apporlionment bill that
passed the House q Representatives becomes
law in the end, lhe additional member
