Railroad Accidents.—Yover Was h
month so unlucky or destructive to
railroads and the interests of railroad
companies as is the present. Almost
every day we hear of smash-ups or
break downs, and in every paper prin
ted at intermediate stations we read
serious particulars of some railroad
disaster that occurred in their respec
tive vicinities. Indeed, so numerous
have they been that many who inten
ded traveling on business, or other
wise, have been detained through
mere terror, and some of those who do
travel feel a dread as to whether they
'shall reach their destination in safety.
Ina majority of cases known to
the loss of life or limb and destruction
of property has been occasioned by the
use of defective metal, which snaps
asunder through a too rapid change
of temperature, but in. no instance
have wp heard that they have been
caused by the carelessness or inatten.
tion'of the managers or -employees of
the roads The sudden ,changes in
the.wcatbcr throughout "this month,
have added.greuttlY to the 'production
of this diifiettlty;'hut when, the atmos
phere becomes mote settled and u n
for m traveling by - ,tmilWay will be as
safe and speedy as heretofore.

knock the wind out of any audience.—
We would advise the dyspeptic; after
taking in a good supper, to take a ride

C6IbRESS hay in . g 'decided - it). length ,
' en the term in which volunteering is
to be encouraged by the payment of
bounties; until the first day'of March
next, we hope to see all thoSe Who are
able and can make it convenient to
serve their country, taking . advantage
of the opportunity. It may lie the
last time volunteering will be substitu- -
ted for drafting. All those who go
after the first of March will go under
different circumstances than if they
should go at the present time. Then,
they stand the. chance of being drafted,
mid if they should desire to go, thro'
fear of being drafted, they will not re
ceive the bounties that are now offer
ed by the Government and by citizens.
The re-enlistment of veterans who
have tried and felt all the vicissitudes
of a soldier's life is inducement enough
for any man to enlist; 'and then With
the bright assurance that you go to
fight for your country, and if to die,
you die for your country, we do not
see why the quota of our county has
not already been filled, and can see no
reason why it should not now be filled.
HIT THEM AGAIN.—The following
notice to our citizens was posted up
on the street corners on Saturday last:
" Whereas, any person throwing
ashes or rubbiTh on the street violates
a borough ordinance. now therefore,
the person before whose house ashes,
etc., may be found on or after Satur
day the 30th inst., on any street or
cross street, will be summoned to ap ;
pear before the Chief Burgess; and if
convicted, fined three doll:Crs and the
cost:of removal.
"EDMOND SNARE, Chief Burgess."
We believe the Chief Burgess in
tends to be in earnest in this matter,
as he should be, and wo advise all per
sons in danger of being fined to keep
a sharp look out for High Constable
King.
Pennies.—.r;dto care of the pen•
nies, and leave the dollars take care
of themselves" is a very good tnaxim,
but to it there are also exceptions, as
every storekeeper of the present day.
when things are on the "riz," can tell
you. There aro many people, but
Moro especially the younger class, who
when they purchase, offer the old pri
ces for en article, saying that is all
they caii give, as that is all they have.
Storekeepers have suffered great in
convenience from this practice, thro'
children who purchase small articles,
and offei"only a few pennies" below
the standard price; saying they, will
bring the balance when they call a
gain. A few aro honest enough - to do
_so, but the majority, thinking a "few
pennies" of little or no account, forget
their promises and do the same thing
over and over, «•lion they can. This
is what we would call taking a mi
ser's care of tho pennies, and obtaining
usurer's rollers.
The Drgft.—A meeting of our citi•
zens was held in the Court House on
Wednesday evening last, for the pur
pose of encouraging volunteering that
our borough might escape a draft to
fill its quota. Committees were ap
pointed to canvass the town to collect
money to pay as extra bounty to those
willing to volunteer. Wo have not
learned the amount already subscri
bed, but we think that those "in the
ring" with money in their pockets,
will subsnibe liberally, leaving the
outsiders an opportunity to give free
ly in a cause deserving success. •
Invalids.—We saw several members
of the invalid company, which left
here a short time ago, in town last
week; perhaps with leave to See the
loved 6nes'they left behind, or to visit
the place where a high regard is enter
tained for every soldier—sound or in
valid; in fact it is a "soldiers' Para
dise."
mo,„There is a substantial footpath
being made between the uppor end of
town and Portstown. This is an im
provement much needed, as the walk
ing "there in rainy weather was very
unpleasant Other improvements of
the same nature would be a benefit to
-some portions of the borough.
CONCERT.—According to notice the
Huntingdon String Band gave an en
tertainment on Friday and Saturday
evenings last; which was duly attend
ed by a vast assemblage. All who
were present were pleased with the
minstrel and other performances and
the Band gave sufficient indications of
improving musical training.
r We understand that the Cnn
cort at Mooresville, on Thursday night
last, was a grand success, the amount
realized coming fully up to tho figure
expected.

The "Nine Months'" Men to be Drafted.
—The Senate has so amended the En
rollment Act, that none but such as
are in service, or who have been in
the service two years, and have boon
honorably discharged, are exempted
from the operations of the draft. This
throws all who served in the nine
months regiments into the classes li.
able to draft. They still have one ad.
vantage over other men, and but one,
that is they get a bounty of $402 if
they enlist, whilst others get only
$302. No doubt many of them will
"go in." Those who wore drafted and
served in 1862 will also be liable to
draft.
The Accident on the Pennsylvania
Rail Road—Thrilling Details.
I Prom the Pittsburgh Poet, Jau.lB.)
One of the most frightful occurren
ces, almost without a parallel in the
history of railnad eatastrophies, the
great amount of property destroyed
without loss of life being taken into
consideration, occurred yesterday mor
ning (17th inst.,) on the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, at bridge eight, span
ning the Juniata river, about four
miles east of Tyrone. Mr. John IV.
Brittingham furnishes us with the fol•
lowing particulars:
As the Philadelphia express passen
ger train arrived within - about six
hundred feet of bridge eight across the
Juniata river, the hind axle of the ten
der broke in two in the centre, the
wheels flying off on both sides of the
track. The train at the time was in
full motion, and before the brakes
could be put, on, the engine reached
the bridge, dragging the two express
cars, which were off• the track, to the
edgy of the abutment,, when the coup
ling between the tender and express
car parted, the engine avi tender pas
sing over the bridge without further
injury than described; but not so with
the remainder of the cars. The fret
express cat• was precipitated a (lista noc
of about forty feet into the Juniata;
the second express and the baggage
car, containing the mail and baggage
of the passengers are piled in one heap.
Tho first passenger car, mostly freiglt
ted with soldiers, rolled from the
bridge, breaking into a hundred pie
cos; following which was the second
passenger car, which, as it plunged
front the track into the river, turned
bottom side up. This car drew the
Philadelphia sleeping-oar (*rein the
track, the front part reeling on the top
of the second passenger and the hind
end on the abutment of the bridge'.
The Allentown sleeping car remained
on the track at the edge of the bridge,
it still being coupled to the Philadel
phia ear.
The accident took place at such an
early hour in the morning that most
of the passengers were either, asleep
or just waking from a morning nap,
so that but few realized their perilous
situation till the whole affair was com
plete. Most of the passengers in the
sleeping cars were awakened by being
piled"promiscously either to the side
or end of the car.
The cars had hardly stru'lt before
the cry of fire was raised, the baggage
and first and second passenger cars
being already in a blaze. This produ
ced a consternation among the passan
gers which beggars description; and
their entire powers were called into
requisition to save them from being
destroyed by fire. Men who were un
able to stir from the wounds received,
crawled from the car windows and by
great exertion dragged their bodies
from the devouring element.
Tho groat height of the Philadel
phia sleeping ear from the ground
made escape from it perilous indeed.
Mr. Brittingham occupied an upper
berth in that ear, near the state robin
occupied by Mr. Cass, President of tho
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad. The shout was raised that
Mr. C 1.189 could not get his state room
door open; which was corroborated by
Mr. C. calling for help. But men
crawled over him, not heeding his of
forts to relieve himself, each and ev
ery one intent on saving himself: But
Mr. Cass's shouts were not in vain.
An English boy,..whose name wo were
not able to learn, with the assistance
of Mr. C., pushed the door open, and
ho escaped. Mr. Brittingham was
still in the car rendering assistance to
those who mlre but slightly injured,
when the fire was conveyed to the
combustible matter which all sleeping
cars contain. His only chance of' es
caping was to leap front the window
to the ground, a distance of sonic
twenty-fivo feet. Ile made this leap
Without sustaining any injury.
By this time the cars were being
fast consumed by the fire, save the
two expeess ears. Those destroyed
by fire were the baggage and all the
passenger cars, including the 4 Allen
town sleeping car. The news of the
accident was soon communicated to
the inhabitants in the neighborhood,
and soon brought men, women and
children to the scene, each anxious to
relieve the sufferers. Those passen
gers bum, slightly injured had saved
most of the mail bags containi a ng the
letters, butt the baggage was entirely
consumed.
But a few moments elapsed before
the accident was
. despatehed to Enoch
Lewis, General Superintendent of the
road, who was soon ,on the spot with
a train and a large number of men.
In this emergency Mr, Lewis display
ed ability which has endeared him to
every passenger on the train. His as
sistance' was unremitting. Before 3
o'clock in the aftornpon a train con
taining those of the passengers
,that
could ride was on its way to this city
where it arrived about 9 o'clock.
