The Waterbury Cholera.

The Waterbury American yesterday dis claimed any intent to misstate the ill health prevailing in that city, in saying that ''thou- sands were dragging themselves around'' It also says that it must be admitted that an unusual number of people are sick at the present time, but there is not the least likeli hood of any fatal cases occurring. There is no cause for alarm, and parents with chil- dren there at school have no occasion what. ever for anxiety, and neither need anyone having business in Waterbury stay away through apprehension of danger.

It is not the Agricultural Insurance com pany of Watertown that has reinsured it's risks, but the Watertown Fire, different company. The Agricultural Insurance con- pany has million and half of assets, and no sounder or safer company exists to insure in than the said Agricultural.
 In regard to the policies of the said Water. town Fire, every one of them is good, be. cause reinsured by g company with owe, $5,OoO, 900 of net surplus; so no one should change his Watertown policy, but let it TUT it's full time, for 1t cannot be stronger if re. written in the Sun Fire of London.

WilSOnia Magnetic
 MUTUAL Health Insurance.

The universally of applying Electro Mag netism as curative of all forms of chronic diseases is only question of time, and rea- son for this assertion can be given from g scientific standpoint, through logical reason ing. The only hindrance to the universal adoption of Wilsonia is that all who apply it expect to be affected by the magnetic cur rents in similar manner and with the same promptness, which can never be. Suscepti- biIities to the magnetic influences are varied, and one of the most remarkable features of this treatment in our experience is the marked difference exhibited by individuals in this respect, hence the greater rapidity of cure in some than in others. If the susceptibility to the magnetic influence is slow, yet by con- stant, persistent infusion of magnetic cur rents disease must eventually yield If the is able. Wilsonia Magnetic Appliances have been last ful in curing all forms of disease. We do earnestly invite all chronic sufferers from the country well as those in our city, to visit our office We have seldom known person who was not fsvorably imp ressed after full investigation and explanation re-

The Rapid Increase in the Cost of Car
 ing for Them.
 The bill from the Insane retreat at Middle town to the town of New Haven, for the care of that portion of the insane which were sent to the institution, was received yesterday by Town Agent Reynolds. It is for the quarter ending March 1st, and amounts to $3,O29.o2. In 1870 the bill for the whole year was only $2, ,339. 9.O7. It should be borne in mind that ten or twelve insane patients are provided for elsewhere than at Middletown. Last year the cost of the insane was, at MiddletoWn, $11, ,S71. IA; at Danvers, Mass, $349.49; ct a hospital in Vermont, $127.OO, and at a hospital in New Hampshire, $1, ,19s.23 making total expense of the insane for the year, $13, ,545.86. Out of this should be deducted $436.54 from friends of the patients But during this time the cost of supporting patients at the General hos pital was $7, 7,176.24. In 1870 the patients paid SIP toward their own support. In view of the rapid increase of the town insane, the Selectmen have been for long time earnest ly considering the best plan for taking care of them. If they can by another year gel 1rom tne 06aLe an duo"oA0o OA HS0" proportion of taxation on the insane account and can take care of the unfortunates IT
 buildings on the new town farm, it is what they think would be the best way-the most economical and the best for the patients. Funeral of Edward Trowbrtdge Car rinGtOn.

Railroad Accidents.
Collision Between Engines on the Dan- bury and Norwalk and ShepRug

Collision Between E ngfnes on the Dan-
 bury and Noryvalk and ShepRug
 Roads.
 Yesterday as the night freight on the Dan- bury and Nerwalk railroad, five hours 'be- hind time, rounded the curve just below the first railroad bridge, running at terrific rate of speed, it came in contact with engine No. of the Shepaug railroad bound for Bethel and going at the rate of 30 miles an hour. A thick fog prevented either engineer from seeing the approaching engine until only a few rods separated them. Both engi- neers immediately reversed their levers and did all that could be done to stop, but the wheels slid on the frosty rails and the engines came together with fearful crash. Imme- diately behind the engine of the freight train was a tank car of oil which burst, the oil flying over the engine, the fire box door of which was open The oil blazed in 8 second and quicker than thought the engine and I four forward cars were wrapped In flames. | The oil, running down on the meadows by I the side of the track, which were covered | with ice, presented 8 river of fire, which | spread alarmingly. The fire department suc- I ceeded in extinguishing the burning oil be- fore it had spread to the bridge and shops not far away. Had the accident occurred a \ few rods further west several hat factories ! would have been inevitably destroyed. | The force of the collision overthrow the | stove in the caboose at the rear of the freight
 train, which toek fire from the burning coals and soon became total wreck. The mail from New York, which was in the caboose,
 was partially burnod Both engines are badly broken upr No. 1 of the Shepaug railroad be- | ing little more than scrap heap. Four cars and the caboose of the freight were destroyed
 by the fire. Others were more or essshattered \ by the force of the contact Engineer Dex
 ter, of the freight train, is badly burned and
 cut about the face, hands and arms. Others | of the train hands are some
 what cut and bruised. Brakeman zeigler ot
 the Shepaug road was buried in the coal ir
 the tender of No. l, and had narrow escape for hislife
 There are conflicting statements as to tho
 cause Conductor Waggoner, of the freight
 claims to have had orders to come to Dan
 bury, and that the Shepaug engine (whicl
 stays in Danbury. over night and runs tc Bethel every morning, there taking it's train l would wait for him. Engineer Wheeler, O No. l, claims to have had the right of way
