Lyman, Eugineer, on said railroad” Now, we trust that the above verdict will be promptly followed up and a proper, example be made of the guilty parties/ 6 J The lobs of life in this country by collis ions of trains from direct carelessness, by cars thrown from tracks in consequence of misplaced switches and roiten rails, by the falling of uiisconsiructed and worn out bridges, by locomotive explosions, etc.,' is. enormous. In the United States, from 1854 to 1864 ten years—there were one thou sand and ninety railroad accidents attended with fatal results, by which oue thousand four hundred and sixty-five persons were killed, and five thousand eight hunc’red and three weuuded. But the year 1864 ex ceeded all others. There were (omittiugarll casualties iu the so-called Confederate States, as it was impossible to obtain efficient data therein) oue hundred and forty such acci dents, killing four hundred and four persons aud wounding fourteen hundred and eighty six. Os course there were more miles of railroad in operation last year than in any of the preceding ten years; but the per centage of increase iu accidents and in con struction will not bear comparison. The excuse made by the railroad companies for this terrible destruction of life was that the pressure of business caused by the govern ment demand for the movement of troops, war material and stores, rendered it impos sible to make the necessary repairs to roads and stock worked to their utmoat capacity. But certainly no such excuse is now valid. We are at peace. There has been no great or sudden transportation needed by the governmept since early spring. Theee has been a leisurely movement of troops to their homes in ihe North, but nothing calling for such haste that there was not time to prep up a rotten bridge or remove a worm-eaten sleeper. Aud already this year there have been one hundred aud eighteen fatal acci dents—two buadred add four persons have been killed aod ono thousand and throe wouuded. These are not estimates, but carefully recorded statistics. We need better laws for the punishmout of railroad officials aud employees There is the grossest carelessness in both parties. The Penusylvauia Legislature, at its last session,-passed a law which is excellent so tar as it goes. It declares that if any em ployee of a railroad company shall violate any rule of such company, aud injury or loss of life shall thereby result, the offender shall be iinrqedjately arrested by the pros ecuting attorney of the city or county in which the accident 'happened, and, if fouudi guilty, shall bo convicted of misdemfe&Dof and punished at the discretion of the court. But we need something more stringent still. VV by should not the meo who build such weak structures as our railroads notoriously are be punished ? What is the difference botweeu the guilt of the man who delib erately uuderuiiues a bridge or removes a rail, that a train may be destroyed with its freight of human life, and the miserly con structor who erects a bii lge without suffi cient foundation, or puts iu a rotten rail, well knowing that accidents must ultimately happen ? Lavs should bo enacted for the punishment of a higher class of criminals— especially some of our railiroad presidents and constructors.—A. Y. Herahl. Lay Still , Sonny A Parkersburg (W. Vtt.) paper says that several gentle men of the legislature took the ears at Craftou late on the 6th ult., for Wheeling, ami among the number was Mr. G., of somewhat large proportions physically, and a Mr. D., of proportional. undersize. These ,tWo, the starlwart Mr, G. and the smooth-faced little Mr. D. took a berth together, it seems, in a sleeping car. The little man laid- behind, and the good natured, waggish Mr. G. before. Mr. D. was sleeping and snoring furiously. Mr. G., more restless under the legislative bur dens, soon arose and was sitting by the stove, when an elderly lady come aboard, aud desired a sleeping berth. “All right, madam,” said Mr. G. “Itookaberth with my son, and you can occupy my place iu that berth where my son is sleeping.” Taking Mr. G. at his word, the lady dis robed herself end lay down with the boy. After a quiet repose of sometime, the boy (Mr. D.) became restless from some eause and began to kick around, to the annoy once of the lady.

A short time ainoe a party of seven sol diers disgraced themselves and the uniform they wore, by going to the wretched hovel of a poor odd woman, ‘who with her three, children resided a short distance above this city. There each-of them outraged her, aud after having accomplished their hellish work, robbed her of all she possessed, aod left the house. Some time during the following day, the old woman managed to crawl to the resi dence of ,a neighbor—a lone vfoman life herself—and there related jier wrongs, and avowed her intention of ending her life, saying that she had no desire to liye after so horrible an oecurr&K-e. She 4vont away* and her neighbor, think ing that the avowal had been made in a fit of desponduucy which would soon pass off, ihought no.moro of it, perhaps; or, if think, ing, did not trouble herself to act. The af fair would, most likely, have never been mentioned by her had not tha body of the unfortuuatc womon been found in the river, and her suffering children discovered just in time to save them from starvation. This -is no fancy sketch.—tho offspring of a prolific brain or fertile imagination—but is a simple reedrd of facts, connected with a crime so black that no stone should be left unturned to dfseover the perpetrators aud bring them to punishment as condign and terrible as the result of tbcii; hellish and lawless act.—^ Cairo Democrat, Au<j 28. The Tragedy of Othello. When John Quincy Alarms was. Pres ident, he was traveling incog, through New York State; and never having seen Chan cellor Kent, concluded to give him a call. He reached his bouse quite late in the eve ning, and without sending up his name, was ushered into the library where the Chancellor was busy reading. He looked up from his book, requested bis unknown visitor to be seated, und resumed his rend ing. After looking around for a few min utes, the President addressed tlie Chan cellor, and- the following conversation en sued : “I see you have a great many books here,’’ said the President, “Yes.” “I see you have Shakspeare,” said the President; “have you ever read it ?” ‘ “Yes.” “Do you know the moral of Othqllo ?” ¥ “Certainly; every one knows the mflral of Othello,” said the Chancellor. “Why, to, beware of jealousy, etc.” “No,;sir; vou are wrong.” “What is it then?” siJkb the Chanoeller, much surprised. “The moral of Othello,” said the Pres ident, “is that a white womufi must not marry a black man.” At a doctrine so novel, and a moral so original, the Chancellor concluded that his visitor was au escaped lunatic, so he ran to the door, calling “William! William! (his son) come up bene; th re is a crazy man in my room.” As soon as John Quin cy could sufficiently control his laughter to speak, he introduced himself, and the Chancellor had some doubt* as his own sanity, 4 Death on the Palo Roru Coming Along. — The New York Tribune, of the 16th, says: . “ Death seems to be riding his pale horse over desert, plain, sea, and city— and we trace his match from Asia and Africa to Constantinople, thenoe through the countries of the Danube, aad over the mountains to Spain—until his advance when last heard from was enuampod in Manchester, England. \Vbpether he has time to cross the Atlantic or not before the frosts come, w'e cannot say, but Man chester is not many days distant, and Death seems to travel with the swiftness of morning.

Amid the gay scenes and ever-vtrying pleasures of Metropolitan life, young men in the first bloom of existence, full of exu berant health and spirits, thinking only of the joyous present and forgetful of the qplemn reality that surrounds them are exposed to temptations against which the most earnest admonitions cannot be too often or too impressively repeated. The sad history of the fortnight l.n financial reminds us that no.station in life, however exiilted, UjfuVorS of-Provi dence however lavishly bestowed, hb pros pects in soeie yor business,■''however brilliant, are sufficient to shield'human frailty from the wiles of temptation.

In another quarter, a young man hither to esteemed by his employers and ac quaintances, with overy inducement before him to sustain honest exertioD, and inspire laudable ambition, pillages the funds of the Bunk that bears hie family name and flies to a foreign land in the vain hope that there he may be permitted to lire a few brief years of ahame in exile and ohscurity, only to return a branded felon— a hissing and a byword all who huve known him—lds very name a token of utter misery to the mother who bore him on her breast. " In a third instance, a still deeper degra dation is revealed.

Ours the' spacious fields, with their oover ing of velvet, dotted with dainty little I daisies. Ours the grand old Woods, whose j giant trees wave their huge branches high j in the air, toying idly with the breeze, or ! smiling defiantly at tho storm that threat- i ens to lay them low'. Beautiful gloriously beautiful—old woods! Nature’s fairest gifts have been lavished upon you. Flora’s treasures be deck your bosom, and from amid your dusky green foliage brightly gleam the scarfet berries. Well may we love and admire thee.

Ours the little child, whose sweet smiles-are like gleams of sunshine; whose lisping words of innocence full upon our hearts like dew on the parched flowers, as it lisps the en dearing names of father, mother, brother, sister. Sweet, precious one, what care we for the wealth heaped in monarch’s halls, when thy dimpled arms are wound ca- ressingly around us; when thy shining locks mingle with our own trerees, and the soft eyes, in whose clear depths float vis ions of innocence, look fondly into our own l Ours—all ours—these precious gifts, and yet ours.

We may enjoy their beauty, inhale their perfume, but His hand holds them. But when the links of fife’s golden chain are all severed—when earth’s joys have vanished, and our shattered barks are launched on death’s dark ocean, far beyond the silver-lined clouds, there will be a bright, beautiful home prepared lor us ; a home whose pleasures will never lade, and where sweet peace will be ouns —yes, ours forever. Dr. Chapman on Cholera. #■ 1 Dr. Johii Chapman has been the sub* jeet of many inquiries from correspondents. He is a physician in the city of London, who has distinguished himself for recom mending a general disuse of drugs in med ical practice; also for his peculiar views upon the employment of cold on the dis ferent parts of the human body as a reme dy for disease. Thus his remedy for con stipation is the application of co]d to the abdomen —an application which observa tion would seem to confirm; as dysentery, cholera morbus and other complaints of the intestines are often occasioned and always a gg r avated by undue exposure of that part of the body. Dr. Chapman has published numerous papers in the London Medical Times and Gazette, and upon the employ, ment of his favorite remedy for different complaints. He has lately written an atticle upon the cholera, in which he lays down the fol lowing propositions : The primaiy cause pf cholera is, as a general rule, the excessive heat of hot cli mates, and temperate climates in summer when cholera prevails. The proximate cause of cholera is of pre cisely the same nature as that of summer or choleraic diarrhoea, but its far more devel oped, and consequently its action is pro portionately more powerful and intense. Cholerfti is neither contagious nor infec tious in any sense whatever, except through the depressing iniluence of fear. Cholera may be completely averted, ant) when developed, cured by the persistent application of the spinal icebag along the whole spine so blong aa. symptoms of the disease continue.
