The agents of the White Star Line going
to the Atlantic from New York had mar
row escape last night. The train on which
they were came in collision with a freight
train, killing the engineer and baggage-mas-

1t is now proposed to bring all the bodies
to this city and bury them together in the
public cemetery and erect monument over
them. The City Council, on application OF
the Provincial government, resolved this
evening to place lot in the cemetery at the
disposal of the friends OF the dead.


The Collector of Customs will commence
his investigation tomorrow morning.

For many years, q regular steamboat ferry
was kept up, between this city and Pennsgrove,
on the New Jersey shore, but within the last
year or two, it has been entirely discontinued,
and so remains. This IL q serious loss, no doubt,
to our business interests. 1t Affects our retail
stores. who were pAtronized by the people on
the East side OF the river, and some, il not all
OF our carriage manufacturers have found that
their sales in New Jersey which constituted an
important part of their territory, have been al
most entirely cut of.


Besides this, we have suffered somewhat no
doubt, by decrease in the supplies Of vegeta-
bles and fruit furnished from New Jersey to our
markets, and this is a disadvantage to everybody
in the city,fo the prosperity OF cur mAnufActur-
ing interests depends. in great degree, on
cheap and abundant supplies Of country pro-
duce.


These facts have caused revived considera-
ton in the Board Of Trade Of the importance of
having opened street to the river front, with
good steamboat pier at it's terminus. This is an
enterprise which has been mooted for years; in
fact the Board of Trade, itself, grew out OF
movement TO secure such street to the river,
in December, 1866 bridge across 18th street
was part Of the work then deemed necessary
and this was long ago built, but no street has
yet been opened out, and the building.of pier
has been almost lost sight Of.


The plan now suggested is to have ierry-boat,
plying as often as every hAlf-hour from suita-
BILE place on the Delaware front to Pennsgrove,
designed for carrying wagons and other vehicles
directly over, at moderate charge. 1t is be-
leved that great hindrance to the develop
ment OF tine trade with the Jersey side has been
the manner in which the farmers were obliged
to bring the produce over. They have had to
leave their wagons at Pennsgrove over night at
Al expense, unload their produce, and transfer
it to boats and having crossed the river, again
u1load it, and haul to the place Of sale. BY a
suitable ferry-boat, they would be enabled to
d ire into Wilmington, as farmers do on this
side OF the river the boat being simply bridge,
which they drive upon at one end and pass OF
at the other.


1t ls not matter for reasonable doubt that q
large amount OF retail trade would be added to
our city by establishing more intimate relations
with the rich and prosperous sections OF oui
neighboring State, and now that the streets to
the river are surveyed some of them partially
graded the land generally condemned and set
tied for and the bridge at 11th street long age
ready for travel, the expenditure Of a compare.
lively small sum would doubtless secure US the
important advantages we have indicated.

Time was when Plymout was consider
ed one of the most unhealthy localities in
Northern Indiana; and not without
cause. But time has brought about a
change. Marshall County can now
boast of being quite as healthy ais any
county in the west, and for the last two
years, no town or citywithin one humid
red miles of this place, has been so free
from disease as Plymouth. Our forests
have been cleared away and the surface of
the country has been drained of its sur
plus water Vegetation is not suffered to
decay and poison the air as had been tne
case in years past We hopefully look
forward to the time when our neighbor-
ing cities and towns will cease to urge
against Plymouth, that it is unhealthy.

The habit of pushing the carriage so
that children are rolled along backwards,
is a practice that deserves the severest
conformation. Ifyou don't believe that
it is a very uncomfortable mode of pro-
gre ssion-if riding backwards can be so
terned-get into vehicle and try it

but positively injurious There are many
whom it nauseates, and certain persons
even vomit from this cause. Is it reason
able to suppose then that children can be
conveyed in this manner with impunity ?

Lighting with beauty and glory the place,
Lifted to mine with shy, tender grace;

Pleading, my heart can but poorly withstand;
How can leave you to wander away

Dragging me out from the glow of your room,

Lingering, shrinking, still dreading to 60
Dreading to face the wild tempest and snow,
Fearing to meet the fierce battle of life,
Covering back from its turmoil aud strife

Never to hold you again to my heart,
Only to dream of my sweet, dainty flower

that they can aim directly at the head with the
