SHOCKING ACCIDENTS.
INI.I.—NY KILLED AND A LARGE NUM
BER, WOUNDED.
Over two hundred accidents from kick
ing and running away of horses occurred
during the past year, in Lancaster eounty
alone nearly all of which resulted in inju
ring the drivers, killing sonic, maiming
and wounding others, and in most cases,
breaking costly carriages and hurting the
horses. „ .
Of the above, ,nine-tenths. Were tame
'in:CM.Fti2mili **it 4teddlesSrtieeidi-n6; and'
with 'the Safety. Lines the" speed of.every
horse is easily much increased.
' At the special meeting of the Saddlers of
Lancaster city, Nov. '27, 1865, the' tbllowing
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Wm.:in-:As, The usefulness, power and
safety of Dr. Hartman's Safety Bridle and
Lines have been publicly demonstrated
demonstrated in the presence of from one
thousand to fifteen hundred persons to
their entire satisfaction; and since it was
proven at the Millersville horse exhibition
on that• of the most vicious anti confirmed
kickers a nd runaways, that with the Safety
Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible
tbr a horse either to kick or runaway;
therefore
.11e8o/ved, That we the Saddlers of Lan
caster county, l'a., believe that the Safety
Bridle 811(1 Lines accomplish all and oven
more, than is claimed by the patentee, in
preventing horses from kicking and run
'ling away.
Re.“,/ced, that in view of the above facts
we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi
vidually and collectively, to exert all hon
orable means to at once introduce the
Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we
in a very great measure prevent all acci
dents with horses, while with the old and
defective bridle we put in great jeopardy
both life and limb.
Resolvcd,That hereafter we manufacture
no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi
ally ordered.
The price of individual Rights is s's each;
County Rights,-front 100.00 to 300.00 accor
ding to population 7 these containing large
cities excepted.
No other investment before the public
presents" such inducbments of making
money. In every county there are at least
twenty townships, and in each township
at least one hundred persons who drive
horses—which at five dollars for an indi
vidual right will amount to 500 per town
ship, and ten thousand dollars (=,',f10,000) for
each county at the rate of twenty towusnips
at five hundred dollars each 1 ] have not,
the least doubt but that amount of money
can be made out of a county with proper
business tact and energy. The price of
counties is so small as to place the invest
ment in the hands of every one, for lbw are
so poor as to be unable to raise ono hun
dred dollars.
Another feature about this invention is
that the proprietor of the territory, need not
manufacture the bridles and lines 'as the
ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a
Safety. The lines only require to be made
to order, and these can be made by any
saddler for a_trifie more than the ordinary
lines. Hence,.': : unlike other patents, the
right to use it only is sold."
Ist:o mall need wish for a greater fortune
than right of a State. To show the confi
dence the,patantee has in his invention,he
otlerS to - pay 1;000 dollars for any horse
that can either kick or run away 'when ,
under the influence of the Safety Bridle
and Lines: For County and State ri,ghts
address for circular, and for Individual
Rights, enclose five dollars to S. B. Hart
man, Millersville, Lancaster co., Pa.

I have been repeatedly asked, to tell
some of my experiences, while under the
influence of Hasheesh ; and at one time
sat down with the of idea writing out a full
account of my sufferings and joys, while
yet a slave to this mysterious drug ; but
glancing over the weird past, as presented
by memory, the work seemed too great
for me to undertake.
To-day however I was lying on my
lounge which is near a window opening
toward the south. Hill and valley are
covered with snow, and this snow is en
crusted with glassy ice. As the sun
drew round toward the west, all the vast
area of snow-covered fields and mountain
slope seemed is a blaze of dazzlimg white
light ; and as I looked on the glorious
scene, I remembered the following "ex-
ercise."
It was summer time ; and with a gay
party of kindred spirits I started on a
visit across the river to It— Island.—
Before we started I put iu my pocket a
few globules of my enchanted stimulant
and about noon as we landed at the
bathing place, I swallowed my usual
allowance and ate a hearty meal. After
my comrades had smoked their after-din
ner cigars, we started down the Island
to a famous fishing place. Tho distance
was not great, but it caused us to walk
over the hot sand beneath a scorching
sun, and before we had gone half the
distance, I felt the starting thrill that
announces the first working of the drug.
My blood was heated by the exertion of
walking, and I soon felt that I was
about to pass through no ordinary exper
ience. However I tottered onward pant
ing, and gasping for breath, while the
way seemed interminable, until C—
who was with me noticing my condition
took my cap and dipped it in the water.
This cooled my brain for a few minutes,
and before my fever grew again too great
to bear we had reached our destination.

The fishing place was known for miles
around- as the White Rock ; and was
formed by a large outcreeping vein of
serpentine, that passed through the lower
end of the island, and out into the river
forming a deep eddy where the fish were
ever abtindant. A few low bushes af
forded the only protection from the sun,
but the excitement, and the fresh air
from the water, kept the heat from be
ing felt, by those who were in health.—
To me, however, the sun seemed coming
nearer and hotter every moment, while
my temples throbbed, and my heart
seemed as though it would burst from
my b. - soot. At length my agony became
such that I rose from the side of my
friend and bidding him not to follow,

started for a clap of bushes about two
hundred yards distant. As I walked
they seemed to recede, and at length to
my amazement they vanished altogether
and I stood all alone in the midst of a
vast desert. I looked around me and on
every side there was an endless expanse
of arid sand which grew in the sun
light with a fervor like that of melted
iron. My tongue was fast to the roof of
my mouth and my eyes seemed fixed in
my head. Utterly exhausted I sank
down on the burning sand and tried to
remember where I was. All at once I
became aware of a most dread silence.—
Not a feature in all nature gave a single
sound of life or motion. One great dread
silence seemed to have swallowed me up,
and I felt myself sinking down, down
through numberless leagues of unanswer
ing silence. Then while on my horrid
journey I remembered how I came there.
I know not what suggested the thought,
but I remembered far back in the past.
Centuries ago I had cursed the principle
of' life, and had sworn to seek out a land
where nothing lived there to exist alone.
Memory led me back along a weary road
beyond that fearful oath. Every step
was over graves. Here I had buried a
loved one ; there were covered the leaves
°fa favorite flower ; and beyond, I had
buried my cherished song bird. I re
membered that every thing I had ever
loved had died when she too withered
under my eyes I had taken that dreadful
oath. Now I understood it all. The
spirit that ruled this dread empire to
which I had been brought, was iu me far
away in the past. I could trace it all
along. An awful necessity had ruled
over me. The spirit of blasting heat, of
killing silence had, unknown to me,
taken possession of' my body and issued
from my eyes, thus it was that all I
loved had died. My glance prompted.
by love had been death. Oh the dread
horror of that moment of awakening.—
How I cursed the foul spirit that had
ruled in me —that • g I elled--:me • onward
loved, and at length by some iiiygteriaiii`
influence, had compelled me to come
here—here where it reigned supreme. c l
I looked around with frenzied eye for
the:spirit of this burning realm. I called
upon it with every form of oath, and
prayer, but a silence so deep, was not to
be moved even to an echo. At length
wearied I sank down and a thought of
escape presented itself'. I would wait
until night should drown the sun, and
then I would escape. Vain hope. The
sun was fixed, no night would. come, to
relieve me of my awful suffering ' l " i '
now much longer I could have borne the
anguish I was in without becomino.
0
hopelessly mad I fear to contemplate.--
Bat with the realization of the fixedness
of that burning sun I gave a shriek of
agony so loud that my companions heard
my cry, and came to my assistance.—
They found me iu a small basin of sand
that had been hollowed out by the wind, 1
and from the bottom of which nothing
was visible but the barren waste around.
Thus my fearful vision had a plausible
foundation. In fact much more of reality
than is generally necessary to produce
the wildest fantasia in one, well under
the influence of Hasheesh.
A thorough ducking in the river
brought me to consciousness, and in fif
teen minutes I was able to tell the story
that I have here attempted to relate.—
This was even a mild experience when
compared with some of the scenes through
which 1 passed. Yet it was of no use to
me as a warning to abstain from my
fearful habit. Bright forms still beckon
ed to brilliant islands wasted by gorgeous
seas. Music from another world drown
ed the shrieking of demons that at
times surrounded me, and I stopped not
until a hundred deaths seemed to stare
me in the thee at once. Yet until the
hand of God was reached forth for my
rescue. Is it necessary to ask my
reader not to attempt even for a single
time this treacherous means of pleasure ?

Odds and Ends.
BY A:4 ICUS
Persons possessing the time, means
and inclination for travel generally turn
their attention to the Old World. They
must gaze upon the fast decaying vesti
ges of by-gone ages. They imagine they
shall never be happy till they have seen
the "homes and haunts" and renowned
creations of the poet and painter.
Of late another and a fresher field has
been opened to the wonder and admira
tion of the world, beyond our wcstern
hills. The tales which travelers tell of
the wonders there enclosed are such as
almost stagger belief. They are never
theless true as has been well attested.
Fitzhugh Ludlow, describing his jour
ney, "Among the Mormons," says ;
"Before we came to the North Platte
we were astonished by a ship equaling
in size the Great Eastern, even surpass
ing it in beauty of outline, its masts of
columnar sandstone snapped by a storm,
)
its prodigious hulk laboring iu a gloomy
sea of hornblendie granite, its deck
' houses shapes with perfect accuracy of
imitation, still remaining in their place,
and a wierd looking demon at the wheel
steering it on to some invisible destruc
tion. This naval statue (if its bulk for
bid not the name) was carved out of a
coarse millstone-grit by the chisel of the
wind, with but slight assistance from the
unfrequent rain storms of this region."*
" Before we enter the " City of the
Saints' let me briefly describe the great
est not merely of the architectural curi
osities, but, in my opinion, the greatest
natural curiosity of any kind which I
bave ever seen or heard of. Mind, too,
that I remember Niagara, the Cedar
Creek Bridge, and the Mammoth Cave
when I speak thus of Church Buttes.
They are situated a short distance from
Fort Bridger; the overland road passes
by their side. They consist of a sand
stone bluff, reddish brown in color;rising
with the abruptness of a pile of masonry
from the, perfectly „level,:plain,,%eirt.yeid
,.:,y!--
lyi:coxinecte
!the most remarkable of which is a cathe
dral as colossal as St. Peter's, and com
pletely relieved from the bluff on all
sides save the rear, where a portico joins
it with the main precipice. So far from
requiring an effort of the imagination to
recognize the propriety of its name, this
church almDst staggers belief in the un
assisted naturalness of its architecture.—
It belongs to a style entirely its own.—
Its main and lower portion is not divided
into nave and transept, but seems like a
system of huge semi-cylinders erected on
their vases and united with re-entrant
angles, their convex surface towards us,
so that the ground plan might be called
a species of quatre-foil.
In each of the convex . faces is an ad
mirably proportioned door-way, a Gothic'
arch with deeply carved and elaborately
fretted mouldings, so wonderfully per
fect in imitation that you almost feel liko
knocking for admittance. Between and
behind the doors, alternating with fly
ing buttresses,are deep niched wihdows,
set with grotesque statues, Imaging from,
the pigmy to the colossal size, represent-.
ing demons rather than saints, though,
some of the figures are costumed in the
style of religious art, with flowing sacer
dotal garments. The structure termi
nates above in a double dome, whose
figure may be imagined by supposing a.
small acorn yet set on the truncated top
of a large one (the horizontal diameter of"
both being considerably longer in pro
portion to the perpendicular,than is com
mon with that fruit,) and each of these
domes is surrounded by a row of prison
shaped pillars, half column, half buttress
in their united effect somewhat sim
ilar to the exquisite columnar cntnurage
of the central cylinder of the lean
ing tower of Pisa. The result of this
arrangement is au aerial yet massive
beauty without parallel in the architec
ture of the world. The Cathedral Buttes
are a lesson for the architects of all
christendom. ' Amazing' is the only
word for this glorious work of nature."'
AO:antic Monthly, Vol. XIII
—The editor of the Louisville Journal,
alluding to a recent interview with the
President, says: "We expected to find
the President weary and worn and hag
gard.
Never were we more mistaken.
He was in the finest and most vigorous
health, his face as fresh as in earliest
manhood, ere the "storms of state" beat
upon him, and as calm and serene and
cheerful as if only the responsibilities of
a private citizen rested upon him. It
would have been evident to any onc,seeing
him as we saw him,that he is a firm reso
lute, self-poised man, confident, but not
vainly or arrogantly confident,in his own
strength, and as immovable as a rock or
mountain in his own strength, and as
immovable as a rock or mountain in his
own deep and fixed purposes. His will
is like his frame, and that is of iron."
