conceived the idea that in order TO

we must change their mode of life, and knowing
as we did by experience the great difficulty in
putting new dogmns or beliefs into the head Of an
adult person, We were led to the conclusion that
ifthey TO be civilized or Chrstianized Unjust
be done while they were children. We np.
preached Professor Henry with this new idea. He

Another Accident,

PoUGHKEEPsIE, n. Y, August IL
At the West Shore Railroad cutting
at Cornwall, where a large number
of Southern negroes are employed,
another accident occurred yesterday.
A blast did not explode, and the
men, thinking that they had the
hole cleaned out, were about to sink
it deeper, when the powder exploded,
driving the drill through the head
of one man, breaking another man S
leg and, it is feared, destroying the
ght of another. Ben. Hooper was
in the next cut, and the explosion
loosened piece of rock weighing
aboht six tons, which fell directly on
him, crushing him into a jelly.
Simpson McCampbell had his leg
broken in two places, and is not ex-
pected to live, and Joe Cosein will
probably lose his eye sight. There
We're about twenty men in the cut
where Hooper was, and if they had
not run to aid the men where the
explosion occurred they would al
have been crushed.

Railroad News.

DETROIT, August 1.-THE Erie
and Chicago Car Company to day
seized by an attachment all the prop
erty of the Great Western Railroad
Co. of Canada, to be found in the
United States. This. consisted of a
ferry transit steamer, another vessel
and lot of rolling stock. Another
ferry boat was on the other side,
where it prudently remained. The
effect of the attachment was to create
complete embargo on the traffic of
the Great Western Railroad, but it
was resumed later, with sing e
ferry boat. and no more seizures
were made.
In 1871 the Car Company, whose
business it is to loan cars to railway
companies, entered into a contract
for this purpose with the Great
Western and Detroit and Milwaukee
Companies, and when the latter
passed under control of the former
company, its accommodating indebt-
edness was assumed by the Great
Western Company.
The Car Companys claims aggre-
gate S740,000.
