CHAMBERsBURG, PA, Feb. &C.
The freight train on the Baltimore
and Cumberland Valley Road, due
here at six O'Clock this morning.
broke into two parts while running
down the heavy grade between
Sbockey's Station and MidvaIe, and
the rear part crashed into the fore
part of the train, throwing a number
of cars off the track and wIecking
them. Conductor A. A. Shank's
dead body was found under the
wreck, one leg having been cut off.
When last seen he was standing up.
on the rear car of the front portion,
and abont to get down between the
cars. His body was taken to his
home in Hagerstows. He leaves
wife and three children, and was
thirty five years OF age. Shank had
been on the road for about six years.
The track was badly torn up, and
was not cleared for several hours.
Passengers we're transferred around
the wreck. 1t was the first fatal ac-
cldent to an employe on this branch
OF the Western Maryland road.

FARM AND GARDEN WORK FOR
MARCH.

If the work for February was vati-
ed because of the uncertainty OF the
weather, not the less so is the work
in March. The severest winter
ever experienced began with Marci',
and it was many weeks before all
the land could be lowed. The old
! fashioned New Englanders divided
up the seasons better. With them
the second OF February marked the
middle of winter, and il that date
found their store of hay, corn, fodder
or other provender but half expend-
ed, they felt sure that they would
have enough to carry them through
until the pastures were green once
more.
Public Spirit among Farmers.-
Fortunate is that farming commnni-
ty IN which there is a village i'm
provement society, q farmers club or
grange. Some such organization
should exist in every farm neighbor-
hood, and there should be enough
public spirited men to sustain it.
There would be fewer farmers sued
for using bogus patents il it was
known that the farmer had such a
body of men to stand behind him.
Road making, if managed by some
such association as we have men.
toned, would be vastly better done
THAI by the road master, who rarely
satisfies any one, but is said always
to have good roads in front of his
own property.
Farmers Help is to be hired this
month. Look to the morals of men.
No employer, where there are chill
dren on the farm, wants a man, how
ever good workman be may be. il
he uses profane or vulgar language,
or is rough and cruel to animals.
Such a man would spoil yoke of
oxen or span OF we'll trained horses
in single season. The prolane or
violent man is often the quicker
workingman, but the slow and dc.
cent man will prove the cheaper in
the end.

PITTsBURG, March "A collision
on the Baltimore and Ohio Road last
night at Moundsvile Narrows; near
Wheeling, was one OF the most dis
astrous wrecks that has occurred in
months. The loss to the company
will reach $4,000, and may exceed
that sum. Passenger train No. A.

ately carried but four passengers.
The three coaches were splintered
and telescoped, but the occupants
escaped serious injury. The freight
with which the passenger collided
suffered more severely. Twelve cars
were totally wrecked. The engin-
GERS and firemen saved their lives
by jumping. Both engines are al
most total loss.

How very wrong indeed it is to force a

send him off to bed
And sometimes 1T will happen on a
warm and pleasant day.
When the little birds upon the trees go
tooral-looral-lay,
When wide awake and studious it's diff
cult to keep,
One by one they II get a-nodding till the
whole class is asleep
Then before they're all in dreamland

their order on the shelf,
And, with nothing else to do, l take a
little nap myself"

LIFT THEM UP.-AlmoSt every
day we read of new instances of wo-
mans road to ruin. The same old
story, seduction under promise of
marriage and then betrayal. Great
Heaven, is there no way for an innO-
cent girl who has thoughtlessly err.
ed to regain a foothold? 1t seems
not. So called society is ever ready
with kick to help them downward
on the path that leads to death. Our
daily papers are full of such accounts,
and doubtless thousands of eases are
never heard of, from the very start
of the victim until some cold river
claims its prey. To those who scorn
to extend a helping hand to fallen
sister we dedicate the following de-
cislon of an eminent Judge: "a wo.

The railroads did a tremendous
business over the + ourth. All the
passenger cars at all fit for service
were hunted up on all their branches
and concentrated on the main lines
to accommodate the thousands Oh
the way. At Washington they were
sidetr tracked and turned into sleep
ing quarters. The B. & O. had ex.
ira freight engines stationed along
the road, ready at moments notice
should there be a breakdown OF q

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Horses require generous feeding
and good care this month if they are
to be kept in good heart to enter up
on the spring work. which will soon
begin. They should never stand
unhlanketed when exposed to the
cutting, boisterous winds. When
driving in the rain light rubber
blanket will more than pay for Itself
in saving of horses and harness.
Cows which are expected to come
in soon should have plenty of fodder,
brand, roots and such food, but none
OF heating character. They should
not be allowed to run on icy places,
as slip may produce serious conse.
quences.
Young cattle which have been
winrered at the straw stack are quite
apt to be lousy. This should be
seen to, and proper measures used
to clean out the parasites. Appli-
cation of lard and kerosene oil will
do very well.
Stock Of all kinds should be kept
off the meadows and grass lands
while they are soft and spongy. The
damage done by the boots in cutting
up the turf is many times more than
any possible value of the withered
foggage they can pick up.
Poultry, if given half a chance,
can be made to pay during this
month by the production of eggs.
Cleanliness, variety OF food, busting
boxes, gravel and lime in some form,
are essential.

Rev. Robertson addressed us on
three fold nature of man, and had
che close attention of the pupils, de-
lighting, entertaining and instruct
ing in his own eloquent,una
natural, pathetic ard atiectionate
style. The two pictures he drew,
representing life rs we can make it,
almost angelic,) and life as sin
wears it, hope will live long in the
memory of those present. He Illus
trated by an aneedote of an Italian
painter, who had secured the paint
ing Of the most beautiful child e
ever saw TO represent his Angel, and
after travelling and searching forty
years he came across an old bag,
with the most revolving countenance
he ever behold, and also painted her
picture to represent demon, and
found to his establishment and horror
that this same woman was his angel
forty years previous. Sin. bad hab,
its, careless life had made this
frightful change.
Then last of all, but not least, Rev.
Peters arose, and in a moment had
the children's eyes sparkling, and
wits at work, and older heads too,
puzzling over his notices. just
bubbling over with wit and humor, he
gave three life lessons in three mot
toes, viz: "Set your peg bigh,"
"Watch your points," and "Keep
sweet;" applying them in every day
life so plainly that all understood, APP
preciated, remembered, and we hope
will apply them practically in their
future lives.
We all, with one accord, thank the
visitors who spread such rich in.
