Slightly Injured.
DOVER, N. H., February 23.-Train No.
122 on the Boston & Maine railroad left
the iron two miles east of Kennebunk at
4.3o this afternoon, and was badly
wrecked.
The train was composed of two engines
in charge of engineers Richard Beckman
and james Higgins, mail car, baggage
car, smoker and three passenger cars.
When rounding the curve near Arundel,
the second engine jumped the track,
probably from spreading of the rails, and
pulled the tender of the forward engine
off. The mail car went into the field 200
feet, and tipped over. The baggage car
went nearly as far, and fell on its side.
The smoker, although truckless, did not
tip. The first passenger car went over
on it's side. The last passenger car was
turned upside down. AS soon as posi-
BILE the people were taken out. Three
were seriously ana others slightly IN
jured.
Morris Casey of Haverhill, Mass, mail
agent, had his right hip broken.
M6IV1D ". IokluuCl VI
mail agent, had four ribs broken, back
injured and was hurt internally.
Nellie Colbert of St. John, in the last
car, had head hurt.
Conductor John Thompson's right
ankle is injured.
Baggage Master Roberts's left arm
badly bruised.
William S. Merriman of Haverhill,
ripht hand bruised
Engineer Beckman took the forward
part of the engine, with Conductor
Thompson and Station Agent William
Eaton of Wells, ran to Kennebunk, gave
notice of accident at Kennebunkport
Beach, and made two trips to the scene
of the accident. All the passengers were
brought to Kennebunk d pot, where the
train was made up at 7.30 for Boston.
John Fullerton of Somersworth, N.
A., who was standing on the rear plat
form of the train, was thrown off and
had his left hand crushed by falling on
it. Two wrecklng trains, from Ports
mouth and Portland, went to the scene.
1t will be morning before the tracks are
relaid. All trains east of North Ber-
wick go over the eastern division.

The leading English scientists. Jones.

bilities Of the earth finally collapsing as
. result of the modern craze for tapping
natures great gas retorts. They ARGUE
that tho earth is a huge balloon held up,
in part at least. by heat and internal
gases. and that when natures great gas
main is eventually exhausted the earth't
crust may break in and fall into mil.
lions of fragments! Ugh! The very
thought of such a calamity is startling.
They argue that the steady belchina
forth of millions Of feet of gas every
hour of the day and night is surely caus

Sane Suggestions From the Insane.
L'Anti-Alieniste is the title Of a re-
markable and amusing little sheet writ

asylum. Its editor in chief Is one Charles
Etlinger. Its circulation is limited. 10
copies being as large an edition rs can

Politics and religion find no place in it,
but it excels in satire. directed mainly
against the doctors.
Its prose is not one whit more incoher-
than that of the boulevards. Serious
discussions are not tabooed. Apropos of
a communication by DR.. Charles Fere to
the Society of Biology relative to the
transmission of madness from men to
animals, Etlinger in a recent number
inveighs against the promiscuousness in
asylums which allows of the exchange
of all sorts of madness between man
and man. He demands to know what
amount of reason it is necessary to pos

like Bicetre. where the iron cages con

A BUNDLE OF OLD SERMONS.

The ink IL brown, the paper soiled.
How long & the writer toiled
Upon these pages:
And as we read their old world lorOk
Their quaint allusions-they restore
The past to us: we live once more
In bygone days.
We hear as if by magic charm
Once more the ''Tate and Brady" psalm
Which pleased SO vastly.
The church and rustic flock grow plain,
The high oak pews, the l~atticed pane
We ear the sermon preached again
From the text to "lastly."
No novel views of ancient sense,
No daring flights of eloquence
Were here embodied.
The placid hearers felt no thrill.
But sat in sleepy comfort still.
While Jack demurely glanced at Jill
And parents nodded.
Indeed, none listened much, l fear.
To all these periods, painting clear
The saint and sinner,
Until at length there came the close
To stir the drowsy from repose,
And priest and people both arose
And wen to dinner.
ALI. m of the long ago,
Yours was another age, We know:
And now our preachers,
Each furnished with his special plan
To benefit bewildered man,
Denounce as loudly as they can
Their rival teachers.
Yet, as your pages we re- ace
In this our age OF cultured grace.

Why i,elaware's boundary Is Circular.

WY u IL
The northern boundary line of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by the
Delaware river from l2 miles distant
north Of New Castle town until the three
and fortieth degree Of north latitude"
and that the southern boundary was to
be "a circle drawn at IL miles distant
from the town of New Castle northward
and westward until the fortieth degree
OF north latitude and then by a straight
line westward" This makes a circular
boundary for northern Delaware una
voidable. and the facts above set forth

HOOD RIVER, OR DEC. Q, lsps.
THE PASSING CREED,

Time was, when the mission of re-
ligion was TO save souls, when the
churches were literally houses Of God,
when devout people went for the pu,-
pose Of worshiping him, In these de-
generate days religion seems to have
been lost sight of, and the churches
especially in small country towns like
this, have resolved themselves into
societies for managing other peoples
business. This is the rule in most
small places, and Hood River is no
exception. Here no persons actions
are above the reach of the saucI-
fled reformer, who drops the subject Of
souls, aud regardless of beams. cord
wood and timbers enough to start a
lumber yard, that are located in said
Teformers unseeing eyes, proceeds to
dictate from his or her high moral
plane, just what the balance of the
neighborhood is to be. Difference of
opinion concerning religious beliefs
have made creeds innumemble, but
differences of opinion about other
things are hardly sufficient to war
rant one sinleSs sinner (for we are all
,sinners) in forbidting another sinner
TO worship God beneath the same roof
with said sinleSS sinners self. If Miss
Mary desires to be on friendly terms
with master John, we know OF no COM
nandment against it, And if master
John is of good moral character,
whether he belongs to the church or
not, Miss Mary is perfectly justified in
obeying the dictates of her own con-
science, and following her own feelings
in the matter in preference to the die
tates of a self appointed, petty heret-
ical Pope of uncatholic creed, and,
further if Master John does not care to
profess admiration for Miss Mary, We
confess our inabily to see where the
interference of the church, or its indi-
vidual members, to compel John to adj
mire Mary, becomes christian duty,
Christ is the grandest figure of sacred
or profane history, and whether or not
He was of Divine birth, his teachings
were. To follow Him is good; but we
fail to see why we or any one should
for that reason be compelled through
fear or favor of a few self appointed
vicegerents of the Trinity to ape the
actions, or follow the dictates of any
man or any set of men religious or
otherwise.
