’terrible Kallrcna Accident.
the deepest re-
lhefollowing account of
» mg|%p<}hplly accident, near Halifax, on
sh« Northern Central R. R- which we
found in the Harrisburg Telegraph of
oyeninglfust. With Dr. Wright,
the, victim in the disaster, we were at one
timcintimabely acquainted, he having been
oqr (the senior’s) preceptor for a consid-
length-of time, in our sohool-boy
dayg, and s yre always entertained for him
.the highest respect. The JDr. was a na
tive ,of Jnniata county. He studied med
ieiiie whh I)rV Philo Hamlin in Mifflin
towd, and After attending a regular course
of lectures, located at Halifax, in Dauphin
county, where he has since resided. He
was .entirely a self-made man, having ria-
obscurity, and worked his way, hy
■ mdoumitable energy and perseverance, to
the . .position be occupied at his death. —
His popularity in the: county of his adop
tion,maybe inferred from the faOt that he
was elected to the Legislature in a few
years after v his settlement therin.
:;Thefollbjr|pg,is the Telegraph's account
of the accident ;
We have just reoeived the particular* of a
fata! accident which occurred on the Northern
Cealral Railroad, near Halifax, yesterday, resul
ting in tbsdfcath of Dr. John Wright, formerly
a member of the Legislature from this county,
ftadfor some time put occupying imposition
of Drigade Inspector. li appears that the Doc
tor andtwqofhia children—a boy and girl—
took a Walk, on the railroad in the, afternoon. —
While resting in the bridge above Halifax, a
cqnl bain cqme along, and before they could get
out of-the way ran Into theta. Tfo. Doctor teas
xnstantlff killed ! - The little hoy, named Clarence,
managed to reach the jride M the, bridge, end
etingmg to the aroh, escaped unhqrtT The Ut
il* srv Annie, vu Struck by the .train,'had her
arm cut off close to tbs shoulder, atpd was other
wise injured. ' She wu tolerably comfortable at
last accounts, bat fears were entertained of her
recovery. . .. • - !
Since writing the above, we leant by letter
from Halifax that the little girl is still jiving, j
ano Jwill probably recover. The yrriter states
that there is a very'short curve within » short
distance of the bridge, and being anaqne
> duo’t.and water-fall in’ close proximity, the noise
wotjild'"render it almost impossible.for.petsoue
c n the bridge to hear the approach of a train in
time'to get out of the wiijr. 'The engineer of
tbe train states that lie gave the usuataigaal,
and a -Mr. -Loomis .declares just as positively
thatUhn signal was notgiven. There' arevari-,
ous rumors, oirenlatiag.^ritb regard., to. this a®** l,
which, we doom it improper to ,notice at this
time,'as they cpmo to uln a Veiy questionable
shape. V*‘”
P. S. The little daughter of Dr. Wright
di'ed on Monday night, .after suffering in
tensely. The remains of parent and child,
were taken,.to Mfflintown, Juniata county,
on Tuesday, for interment.

LETTER FROM HARRISBURG.
Ha&bisbqbo, March 15, 1850.
A hill came top in 'the Senate on'’Saturday
last, which is now pending, which is of consid
erable importance-to the people at large, as.it
contemplates making elmotive the law pinch
exempts from levy and sale $3OO worth of prop
erty. This law has' been rendered ineffective,
or almost so, by giving waived notes, which
notes, have been pronounced binding by tbe
Supreme Court in all coses where a considera
tion is given at the time. Thus, a map enga
ged in an infatuating gambling transaction, mpy
borrow $6O froth a man and give a waived note
for $2OO therefor. If the note is not met, an
execution may-lie against anything in the boose
from the bed down to the dinner pot. This
supplement vests that amount of property in the
decedents wife and children, and consequently
renders null and void ,the claimer. I think the
law will pass.
The project for erecting a new Connty out of
parts of Clearfield. Indiana. Cambria, and Jef
ferson, was killed off last Wednesday in the
House, but on Saturday the vote was re consid
ered, which is an indication that the bill may
still pass the House at some future day, but I
doubt whether it can pass the Senate in any
event.
A supplement to the act incorporating the Al
toona Gas Company is now in the hands of the
committee on corporations. It makes the Co.,
a Gas end Water Company, adds appe eight or
ten of th£~most prominent citizens to the com
missioners, increases the capital, and enables
tije company to borrow money. There is no
question about tbs passage of the supplement
at an early day, and the company should, in the
meantime go on with their arrangements.
The House held a session last ni<>ht, appar
ently for the express purpose of hearing Mr.
Irish hold forth bn the .merits of his “Personal
Liberty” bill.
There is now pending on the Senate file a
▼ery important supplement to the Common
School Law. I deem it of sufficient importance
to give it to you entire
8 tenon 1, ■ Be it enacted by the Senate and Bonne of.
Representatives' of Hie tommonvoMih of Pennsylvania in

thority of the tame, That when the directors or controllers

Two bills have been killed in the Senate,
which have had the honor of being lions for a

Xbe Son* of Malta.
The report of the Grand Treasurer of the In
dependent Order of the!-Son’s of Malta of the U.
S , made to the Supreme Grand Council of the
D. 8., Mexico ;and Cuba, recently in session at
New Oreleans shows that the balance paw in
the bunds of the Treasurer is $262,241 81
Of the receipt, the, largo amount of $58,179
29 is from Cuba, and; $88,784 72 from New
York alorto. The report allows the receipts
from 129 lodges, but us no lodge is required to
contribute anything to jthe .Grand Lodge until it
bus been in operation :six months, it is safe to
soy that there are now over 200 lodges, and
their -membership rapidly on the increase.—
When it is understood that only 26 per cent, on
the nett receipts of subordinate lodges is paid
into the treasury of the Grand Lodge, it must bo
seen haw immeuse.is the sum that passes through
the coffers of this order. The remaining 75 per
cent of nett revenue can only be distributed in
charities, in the city or community in which it
is located, each lodge having its own charity
committee, whose duty it is to relieve (if found
worthy) all cases of distress which may bo
brought to their notice. It may be asked what
is to become af this immense fund which must be
accumulated by the Grand Lodge in a few years.
As this is one of the grand secrets of-the Order,
of ooiicse only the members, and only such of
those as have taken the Oriental degree and
have passed tlie “ Vale of Mysteries,” are per
mitted to know.
Sknsatiox Newspapers. —One of our contem
poraries thus notices the engravings which
have appeared in a number of the illustrated pa
pers, purporting (o be the likenesses of the most
intimate!; connected with the recent Washing
ton Tragedy;—
“ The New York Sunday and other illustrated
newspapers of the same sensatisn school, have
bad an immense run, especially those that have
pictorial illustrations of the dramatu persona
who are named in connection with the recent
tragedy. And such likenesses fln one instance
says an exchange, a cut that was originally ex
ecuted for Piccolomtni is palmed off aa Mrs.
Sickles; in another instance, an old likeness of
Jenny Lind is pressed into the service, while.
Mr. Sickles and Butterworth are flattered with
having the counterfeit presentments of a couple
of fellows that were banged not long since, ex
hibited to the enlightened public as the veritable
portraits of the injured husband and bis friend.
Mr. Key being dead, Is spared the mortification
of seeing aq old engraving of Alfred Bunn, the
London theatrical manager, shown np ns a fac
simile by our artist.”
Infamous Avarice and Tyranny. —The Su
perintendent of the House of Industry of New
York informs the public that he found a widow,
having two little girlii. who attended the House
School, hard it work, making boys’ black cloth
caps, trimmed with braid, and bow, and buttons,
fined with glazed muslin, and wash-leather, and
with patent leather front; for the making find
pressing of which she received two shillings per
dozen , or Itco cents a piece. The distressed wo
man Lad taken a lodger into her room, to add a
little to her store laid away for rent, and the
lodger ran away carrying all the rent money
with her. The widow then applied to the Su
perintendent above named for the loan of $3. —
He pertinently asks, “ How long would the poor
mother strive to spare. S 3 out of ten shillings per
week ?’■ all she could possibly earn. May we
never hate to'record such extreme instances of
grasping tradesmen said dependent families in
our city !

Steel, proceeded to the residence ot» gentle man
named Smith; in Prince William county, Va., to
