LANCASTER, PA, Dec. 29.-One Of
the most terrible accidents that has
ever occurred in Lancaster county hap
pened this morning, Ahout g. 80 O'Clock,
on the farm Of John Hildebrand, near
the village Of New Providence, ON the
Lancaster and Quarryville Railroad.

When the engine had been running half

DOCTORS AND PATIENTS.

Speculative knowledge is, Of course, good
In itself, but the line between speculation
and practice cannot be drawn absolutely. A
Pasha who had lost an eye ordered q glass
one, and had it fitted in, showing transports
of Joy; but when after months trial he
found he could not sec with it, he had the
"chyrurgeon bastinadoed and banished.
Here there was lack of speculation on
the part of the Pasha. But the too we'll
known case of the Indian Pri1ce and the
seidlitz powders is doubtful. Ee FIRST took
the whole of the twelve blue powders dis
solved in punch-bowl, and then, not feel
ing much refreshed, took the twelve white
ones also at one draught. 1t is nice ques-
ton whether speculation or practice was
most wanted here, but it is certain that q
portion of both is good thing. 1t is no.
torious that the man who gives himself to
the study of pathological books is apt to
fancy he has all diseases at once or by
turns, SO much do symptoms" resemble
each other, or, in other words, SO much is
practice needed. The most experienced
physician, when ill, goes to another physi-
cian-that is trite-and the two experts may
reasonably "argue" with each other. But
the best thing the uninitiated patient can
do is to get good doctor, and then mind
him. There are illustrious examples in
favor of this principle. Mr.. Gladstone,
whose health and prospects of vigorous
old age were, in the spring of 1874, made
the subject of cheerful article in tina Lam
Get, which gently rebuked him for talking
Of "my age" has more than justified the
rebuke of his medical critic. He has shown
not only staying power, but buoyancy. He
has been betting ten to one, and praising
the Burton ales as nectareous, if not nectar.
He has been twice very seriously and once
at least less seriously laid by; and has more
than pulled through. And we have all
handsome of US with surprise, sensible
people without any doubt-that he minds
what the doctor says; is strictly obedient
patient. But there is obedience and obedi-
ence. Dickens treated unguaranteed pre-
scriptions (of which he used to receive
many hundreds) much as Lord Granville
does, and he also minded his doctor. But
there can be no doubt that he was a frac.
tious patient, whose obedience was often
but formal-7he Spectator.

WOMEN FOR LOUISIANA.

During the Regency the prisons were
crowded to excess with criminals of both
sexes, and the new colony, on the other
hand, was crying out for emigrants, espe-
cially women. The chroniclers give &C.
counts of carts crowded with prisoners on
their way to Havre or Rochelle to be ship
ped for America. Among these writers,
perhaps the most interesting is Buvats
journal de la Regence." Take, for in
stance, the following passage: "On the
morning of the 18th of September, 17l9,
one hundred and eighty young girls were
married to as many lads at the Church of
the Priory of Saint Martin-des Champs in
Paris. They were taken from the prison
of this priory, and from other prisons of
the town, these poor creatures being left
free to choose their husbands among still
larger number of youths. After the cere-
mony they went away in pairs, joined one
to the other with little chain, and fol-
lowed by three wagons filed with their
clothes, and escorted by twenty archers to
conduct them to Rochelle, thence to be
transported to the Mississippi, in the hope
of better fortune" Again son the 18th
of October in the same year, thirty wagons
we're dispatched from the city, filled with
women tricked out in the oldest fashion,
with an equal number OF lads, who followed
on foot. The women, while passing
through Paris, sang as though they had
known no care, and shouted to those OF
their Acquaintance to accompany them on
their voyage. There are many other ex-
amples of like kind in fact, these con-
signments of vagabonds became SO numer-
GUS that it became necessary to form spe-
cial corps of archers for their escort to the
coast I'll Saturday Reuieso.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The members
OF the Methodist church 1t Spring
Valley are very much exercised over .
serious charge which has bean drought
against their pastor, the Rev. DR..
George r. BristOr, by 16.yexr old serv.
ing maid, Ida Downes, employed In his
family. DIR. Bristor 10 the clergyman
whose alleged improprieties with the
6undayschool children of his church In
Newark, N. j., engaged the attention of
the church some time ago. He was
adjudged innocest By the conference of
the offenses imputed to him and was
assigned to the church at Spring VAL
ley, of which he assumed charge last
March. Its membership increased
under his efforts, and he soon became
Extremely popular with his flock.
Six weeks ago the Bristor household
received an addition in the person Of
Ida Downes, who went to the family
from charitable institution in Brook
Ign. by which she mad been identured
to Mrs. Bristor for q term Of years. The
young girl IL regarded as possessed Of
rather weak intellect. Her presence
in the village was little noticed until
yesterday, when the story OF her al
legged wrongs at the hands of the
preacher. first became notsed about.
Adjoining the residence Of the &C.
cused minister lives Thos. H. Gemmel,
the justice of the peace Of the village.
To member OF this gentleman's fami.
~ the girl told her story, alleging that
the first offense had been committed
three weeks ago and had since been
repeated on several occasions. She had,
she said, already conhded her wrongs
to another domestic employed by DIR.
Bristor. Upon bearing Of the girls
Accusation, Squire Gemmel immediate.

church. and on Tuesday afternoon the
governipg committee called upon their
pastor for an explanation. He denied
the charge and the committee decided
to accept his denial as final and aban-
don the proposed investigation.
During last evening the girl left Dr..
BIis'or's house and sought refuge with
the family of Squire Gemmel, stating

wise msltreated her. Mr.. Gemmel

BAD ENGRAVING.

The die-sinking now done for the Mint
and the engraving executed for the Post
Office are discreditable to country which
spends no inconsiderable sum of money in
the cultivation of design" and has for
years endeavored to teach art to the people.
The ill-executed version of the ideal por-
trait of the Queen which adorns the latest
adhesive stamp for Postage and Inland

is increased by the crude purple tint. The
