WATERBURY, CONN.,, FRIDAY, OCT. 12,

the train, piled with zeal the broadaxes which were meant for holiday occasions. They were but little adapted to the work and were soon useless In the meantime the windows or the cars were smashed in, men entered and re- leased those least hurt or least entangled.
 In one car they found John Lynch hanging from the roof by one leg His cries brought friends, who, to relieve him, stood upon the wreckage and held his weight upon their backs for two long hours. Finally axes ef- fected his release. His leg was fractured.
 A young lady was found caught by the legs, one nearly severed. One leg was quickly released. The other couldn't be freed, and blow of an ax severed it from her body. She saw the blow struck and never hinched. Iak- ing out her watch, she handed it to an ac- quaintance gift to a friend at home. She was put on board one of the trains and given all possible care. She conversed freely and cheerfully with friends. Suddenly she gasped and fell back a corpse.
 To free the bodies ill the rear car the train men attached an engine to the wrecked train and started to pull it out. The first move ment of the shattered wreck brought from the wounded such awful cries of distress that men ordered the engineer to desist on pain of his life They didn't wish to see the mangled forms still further mutilated, so the work went on slowly by adding new terrors to the scene.
 The wires had been brought into service, and the physicians of White Haven and points down the road were soon on the ground. The few houses around the spot were thrown open to the suffering and bon fires were lighted to aid the work
 Passengers on the rear train state that they saw train ahead when far down the road They sprang from their seats and started in wonder expecting to see their train slacken speed, bnt in vain. Suddenly their engineer and fireman jumped Then came the shock. The engine was manned by Harry Cook, of Fell street, as engineer, and Hugh Gallagher, of Breweryvile, as fireman. Each sustained broken leg. The fireman stated to one man that he saw the red light, informed the engineer, then jumped.

 A gale Wednesday night destroyed several buildings in the suburbs. The weather yes terday was clear and bracing, and the situa- tion decidedly improved.
 The question of the return of nurses to their homes is an embarrassing one. Neither Louisiana Mississippi, Alabama nor Texas will receive them until after frost. Mean while their pay goes on, though the services of many are no longer required.
 The bride who was taken with the fever during the wedding ceremony has light at tack, and will doubtless recover. Nearly all the sick are doing well, and there is a more cheerful feeling.
 The epidemic does not seem to have de- te1rent effect upon those contemplating matrimony. There have been as many we'd dings as usual of late.
 Mrs. O'Dell Broward, an aged lady, is sick at South Jacksonville, and it is feared the case will develop yellow fever. This suburb has hitherto been freq from the dis ease, owing to the rigid quarantine observed. It is separated by water from the city Manager Stockton, of The Times Union, is doing we'll. It is thought that he has passed the critical stage.

A Collection of Pens.

A man in Denver, Colo, named Lyon, got an idea some years ago that it would be a hns thing to collect all the odd shaped pens he could find. So he started in, and today he has lot comprising over seven hundred diff ferent varieties About twelve different metals are represented in the collection. Then there are number of wooden pens and lots of odd quills. The collection embraces specimens from England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and other European countries, be- sides America and Canada. There are pens pointed fine enough to make lines of micro scopic delicacy and others intended for men who use the first personal pronoun great deal in.their correspondence. Some are in shape like shovels, others resemble section of stovepipe and others arc delicate and di- minutive Chicago Herald.

The Women of Utah,

The women of Utah comprise two good classes. The poorer ones are rustlers from good rustling parents. They can irrigate a farm, mow hay and do almost anything in the field that q man can do. The other class can turn out as much beauty, good breeding and culture as Boston, although on a small scale and of a breezy, western character. In Salt Lake streets, as we'll as those of Logan and Ogden, can be seen any day beautiful women who need no artificial means to give their faces delightfully."- healthy color. They dress, as rule, neatly, not extravagantly, and behave with severe propriety while in public. Albany Express

spected his wish, and L duly saw the
kangarOos. That station was afterward
sold by my friend, who stocked it up
with sheep. The kangaroos by 1873 had
become dreadful nuisance, not only
there. but on every place in the neigh

should be destroyed, and in order that
the remedy should be efficacious action
was taken as nearly as possible stimuli

vicinity. Drives were organized, and
the poor creatures were driven into
strong yards and therein shot. On the

The Old, Old Story.

Not long ago an old New York batche
lor, who has quarters in an apartment
house, was asked by one of the domes-
tics of the establishment to lenl her a
small sum of money till her wages were
due. She confided to him the fact that
she had seen certain number in her
dream, and wanted to buy ticket of
that number in the Havana lottery.
Soon nfterward the batchelor ascertaipe,l
that the holder Of the ticket of that very
number had drawn the chief prize of
$4,000. He reached his quarters ear
ller than usual that afternoon, and, be
fore dark, found an opportunity for a
confab with the dreaming domestic, who
seemed to him more than usually attrac
tive, but he was careful not to tell her
of her luck. Kitty" he said at an op
perfume moment, "You know have al
ways thought great deal of you. and
have intended for a long time to ask You
II you would be minel" Though rather
dumbfounded by the unexpected pro.
posal of the bachelor, to whom she had
looked up, she was equal to the ocaa-
sion, and, rs he was in haste about the
matter, the wedding was fixed for the
ensuing Sunday. That very evening,
soon after the ceremony had been per.
formed, he seized her hand, and ex-
pected to strike her with surprise by
whispering the news of her wonderful
fortune in the lottery, which he hoped
to enjoy. "But, my DEAR" she quickly
answered, ~ did not buy the tickle. of
the number l first dreamed of, for had
another dream next night of another
number, which got aud it has drawn
