and the private car of Chief Engineer Hanna
ford of the Grand Trunk express, for Montreal
and Boston, left the track near Pickering sta
ton, owing to a broken frog, and went over an
e~mbankment % feet high. At the time of the
accident it was very dark and the rain was
pouring In torrents. The crash of the falling
cars, shrieks of the women and groans OF the
wounded, combined with the darkness, made
the scene horrible. The horrors were multi
piled when Engineer Hannaford's coach
took fire. The flames burned fercely despite
the pouring rain, and quickly communicated
to the Pullman coach that came next, though
the flames here stayed. A large number Of
townspeople quickly gathered, and assisted in
rescuing the passengers from the burning
Pullman as quickly as possible. The passen.
gers collected together and a roll was called,
when it was found about a dozen were injured,
but none seriously. How all escaped is q
mystery. One of the coaches was smashed
into kindling wood. All were whirled over
and over several times, yet many escaped abb
solutely unhurt, while most of the wounds
were of a slight character.

The farmers are everywhere reminded
that all other things are as low in COM
parison as wheat and corn-sugar 3
cents lower than usual, coffee 5 cents
lower, and cotton and woollen goods,

priced crop this year will 60 almost as
far in purchasing the low priced neces-
saries that he requires as the high
priced crop of 1880 did. This is some
whatof an e-xaggeration, but not alto
gether. There are things, however,
that are not affected, and they are debts
and mortgages. There is no reduction
in these things, which abound in newly
settled communities, and the moral is,
to- dispense with them in the future, as
far as possible.

A Chicago paper says it is not q
new thing in the United States, and in
the border states especially, that the
production Of wheat does not payex-
penses. Many can recoIlect when it
required two bushels of corr raised IL
Ohio to pay the postage on q let
ter from Boston to the Western Re-
serve" or northern Ohio. And many
now will remember when corn in Iii
nos was dull OF sale at ten cents q
bushel, and dressed turkeys were offer
ed at the doors Of citizens for twenty
ave cents. Yet sven in those days
there was no over production except in
places where distant markets could not

accounts Of famine in some parts of the
world. Just now the depression in wheat
which has generally been regarded as a
staSdard commodity, and has heretofore
maintained something analogous to a
standard price, appears to have carried
down the prices Of nearly all the staple
commodities. For instance, the price
Of the whole range Of metals is very
much depressed; viz, iron, steel, lead,
copper and the manufactured product
Of these staples. Iron and steel rails

A momber of the cabinet who spent a day
with Cleveland at the funeral of Judge Folgers
says he was very much disappointed in the
man. He expected to find Mr.. Cleveland a person
of broad views, with intelligence and pleasing
presence, but on the contrary discovered hin
to be q logy, stupid aud beefy~ individual. with.
ont energy es character or personal attractions
of any character. He is slow, prosy and phleg-
matte, duh IN conversation, and of very ordin-
airy talents. He judges, from his short &C

Mr.. Blaine the Shoemaker interrog-
atories in detail, telling in the main the same
story he told of his two marriages in Kentucky
and Penaisylyania in a letter 10 William Wal,
ter Phelps. The story is wholly credible, and
explains all the discrepancies Of dates which
were the sole basis for the villainous imputa
tons OF the Sentinel Legal proofs Of the tirsl
marriage will doubtless be forthcoming wheL
the case gets into court, IL that ever happens.
