IlIITIIErt PARTIClLAIiS.
We extract from the New York papers tho
subjoined particular of the awful calamity
at Norwalk. The following fiom the Courier
Bnd Enquirer of Saturday morning, give the
clearest and most correct description of the
occurrence :
The express train for Boslon, nn the Ne.v
Haven Railroad, left tie Canal street sntion
in this city at 8 o'clock in the morning, and
nt the upper station the locomotive wag at
tached, making the train I hence to consist Sf
two baggage cars, and three first class pas
senger cars. The baggage cars preceeded
the passesger car, and in the rearmost bag
gage car was the smoking apartments. The
number of passengers in the train wa about
150.
The train proceeded, as usual, until it
reached Norwalk, 45 miles distant, at half
p.ist ten o'clock. Half a mile east of the
Norwalk station is a bridge acioss the creek,
ami over the channel there is a cliaw in the
bridge sixty feet in width. Tho rules of the
road reipi re rhat the speed of the train should
bit checked at the Norwalk slat ion, and the
train held well in hand until the engineer
obtains sihl ofa signal a red ball upon a
pole some thnty feet hit;h, which is visible
neuily half a mile from tho bridge. This
signal is only displayed when I ho drew is
clted aird the track c'.- : r. Both iheto pre
cautions were neglected jpcii this occasion ;
the speed was not td.tc.red at the station ;
the signal for safety had been wilhdiawn
full ten minutes before the train approached,
but heedless of the warning, the engineer
dashed on at a rate of nearly thirty miles an
hour until, he reached the open draw, when,
such wa the momentum, the engine sprang
across the chasm of sixty feet, dashing against
the abutment on the opposite side but little
below the lino of rails.
Tho draw had been opened to permit the
steam-bnat Pacific, from Norwalk for New
Yo-k, to pass through, and she had barely
pissed as the train dashed in. The engine
was followed by the tender, which rpsted
upon it The first bagcaae cxr went parity
upon the tender, and partly alongside. The
second car, containing the smoking apart
metit, went alongside ihe first baggage enr,
and two of the first class cars were dashed
among the wreck of those which proceeded
them; while the bottom of the last car wa
broken in two crosswise, the forward part
being dragged into the submerged luins,
leaving one hall the bottom and the cntiie
side. arid roof upon the track. The water

The business season of the city is drawing
to a close, excepting with the retailei, who
aie In the midst of their harvest, The din
play of the rich and beautiful goods of Ihe
large and elegant store of the present day,
would contrast strangely with those only
twenty year back. Cloths, and many fine

it is true, aie much cheaper, but then a great
many other expensive luxuries substituted,
that twell the expetis-'S of the toilet, especial
ly for Ihe fail sex, In a much larger amount
than then. Though people in the city, live
extravagantly and expend large sum in the
luxuries of lile, it must be said of ihnm that
there aro no people who wntk harder, or
more nssidinnsly for wealth than they. Many
of them are a constant and as laborious in
their devotions to mammon, n an Eastern
pagan is to his idols The licher he groi

Hi avarice seem to increase with his year.
The result often is, that hi on, who living
in expectation of inheiiting wealth, fail to ac
quire those habit of business and industry
that are the only safeguard against vice and
dissipation, and ultimately become bankrupts
in pur jo as well u in morals. This, how
ever, is not applicable to cities, only. It
practical illustration is seen rveiywhere.
The great increase of gold from tho mine

Blair county ha been disgraced by the
perpetration of another most diabolical out
rage within her border; by another cene
of riot, arson and fiendish murder, which ha
hardly a parallel in Ihe annal of crime.
The outrage occurred on Wednesday night
last, and had it origin in Ihe feud which ex
ist between Ihe clam of Irish laborer em
ployed on the line of Public Work. It ecm
lhat a "Leiuvter man" wa met on the pub
lic road by three or four "Fardowii," or
Cnnnaught men, somo day previously, and
severely beaten by them, tn relation, Ihe
Lelnster men on seveial sections rallied on
the night above mentioned, and ptoeeeded
to Ihe job on which tho offender against
their clan were employed, armed guns and
other weapon, and commenced a murder
ous assault, firing into the shantees and put
ting Ihe inmate !o flight for their live.
Upon one liantee they particularly wreaked
their vengence, firing many well aimed
shot into it, and finallv Retting it on fire and
burning it to the ground, together with its
conlents, including one niifoitunnto inmate,
who for ome reason, peihaps from being
disabled by a gun shot, failed to make his
escape. In Ihe morning hi eriped and
charred and dismembered body was found
among Ihe ashes, a most revolting mid horri
ble sight, wi'h tho legs burned off to nHove
the knees, ihe arms to above the elbow-, the
eyes from their sockets, and tho entrails burst
from the abdomen
Measures were immediately taken to ar
rest the offender, by the authorities in the

that Jesse M. Simpson, on tho 1st of December last, appeared before the Auditors and
waved notice of lime and place of meeting, and on tho 7th ol December last, John U. I acker,
a Attorney for aid Ann Gulick, appeared and waved notice of lime and place of meeting ;
That we proceeded lo ascertain tho amount coming to the Commonwealth during the
lerm or said Treasurer respectively, and have stated their account herewith annexed,
marked A, B, C, exhibiting the result.
The repoit of the County Auditors for 1845, show that the Commonwealth wa fulry
paid all laves assessed for lhat year, ineludint: Tavern license and other rouice. But
Ihero wa Mill outstanding pait of Ihe taxes for previous years, which outstanding tax
wa fully paid lo Gulirk, Simpon," and Yomigmiin. The portion received by each one I
charged in aid account; and the wliolo amount of Stnto tax assessed, and other sums due

wealth is entitled to receive lirmi nil in ouisiauumg iujm un

by Gulick of the laxc previous to 1845, and all taxes assessed in M0 and '47, and all
money received for the State fiom unseated lands, and making allowance for Ihe proper
credits, the Slate wa overpaid on State tax tho sum of 7G6 07; and the Commonwealth
wa overpaid for Tavern license, and Retailer licenses, and Pamphlet Law lor 1847 ;
but there were balances in favor of tho Commonwealth for Retailer license of '46, Similltia
fine of '46 & '47. Those balances set off acainsl each other exhibit nn overpayment to the
Co in mow enllh, in the year '46 &, '47, of 6fio7 20. Wo therefore report that, after paying
in full to the Commonwealth all taxes and due for '40 & '47, there is coming to tho County
from the Commonwealth S697 80. The account "B" exhibits iti the same manner a tate
merit for the ycais and :43, durina Simpson's term, and discloses a balance due the.
Commonwealth, from ull source for ihos; jears, the sum of J? 1.302 03. We therefore re-,
