A- he could not he found the next igor ning, the friend went out to Ihe ee met cry, and thereupon his lirst wife's grave, covered with a foot of snow, his hodv was found, and beside it lay the revolver with which Ik* had shot himself.

Third—That the fanners of the State of New York should no longer lie taxed to carry the grain of the west to the seaboard ; and to this end tin* railroad com panies of the State shall not dis criminate against local freight, and that they shall he prohibited by law from charging more on freight for short distance- than for long distances.

Paris eats a thousand horses every month, and hippophagy is gaining ground in Ihe large town of France. With a view to prom ote the introduction of horse flesh into the English dietary, Emile Decroix. who lirst ta-ted it from necessity in Algeria and now is unhappy because the whole world will not eat it. gave a banquet in Paris on the last Saturday in De cember, and invited the corn's spomlents of all the London jour nals.

Terrible Catastrophe. flie most terrible and shock ingly fatal accident that wv have ever been called upon to chron icle. occurred in thi- city last Wednesday, the 2nd in-t. At !>:45 in the morning of that day, the entire city wa- suddenly shaken as by an earthquake. — The buildings trembled on their foundations; there was a loud, quick report, a- though light ning had struck in a thousand places at once; windows were smashed, coaling fell, and glass, sash, plaster, etc*., were hurled in all directions; horses took fright and ran ; women and chil dren rushed screaming into the streets; and men stood rooted to their places, unable to compre hend what had happened, it was soon realized that a terrible explosion had occurred, but none except those in its immediate vi cinity. knew what had taken place. To the west of the city a thick cloud of smoke was seen to rise, and thither rushed an anxious and excited crowd. It soon become known what had happened. About half a mile west of the depot, on the At. N. W. railroad a freight car was being loaded with nitro glycer ine, and the dreadful shock was caused by its explosion. Some forty-eight hundred pounds of this powerful compound had been hauled there and placed on the ground along side the track, during the morning. This was being loaded into a ear, prepara tory to its shipment to the Re public mine, wh“ii in some un accountable manner it exploded, dealing death and destruction to everything within its reach. The shock was terrible, hevoud imag ination, and the result horrible to behold. Everything within its reach was completely deuiol i.-hed blown fairly to atom* -and seven men met an instant and horrible death at its hands. The scene at the wreck was frightful and sickening. The railroad track for about (iffy feet, was torn from it- bed, the rails twisted, broken and hurled a way, and a hole twenty five feel in diameter and live feet deep, gouged out, and the earth tjirown for rods around in every direc tion. Of the car on w hich the nitro glycerine was being loaded, not the slightest trace was visi ble. The locomotive and tender w hich stood behind the car, was thrown hack over one hundred feet, a most complete and total w reck. W heels, tines, cab, tubes, bell, and everything about it was wrenched, twisted and torn asun der, as though monstrous and destructive demons had vented their rage upon it. Long lines of ore ears, standing upon a side track near by, were stove in and demolished, and shreds and scraps of iron, wood, tin, etc., covered the snow in all directions. But the saddest and most, lamentable part of all, was the horrible late of seven unfortunate men who were engaged in shipping the treacherous freight. Lying on the bottom of the cab were four of them, the engineer. Jireman and two brakemen, mangled and burned beyond recognition, with their heads hanging over the edge, a sight to horrify the stout est heart. The head was com pletely torn from the body of one of these poor fellows, and noth ing but a few pieces of shattered skull and brain adhered to the trunk. Ol’the other three men who wore engaged in handling the cans nothing could he seen, hut after diligent search a few fragments of chared tlesli and hones were picked up and put to gether. making a ghastly sight. Nothing more than enough frag ments to till an ordinary bucket was found altogether of what but a few moments ago were three stalwart men.— Marptettc ( Mirh. ) Mnniuj .lovrueil. gSF" New Mexican dollars— counterfeit -are plentiful in tin* city of Atlanta.
