' TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON TILE
VALLEY RAILIIIOAD.—The Wilkes Barre
Recoi.d of Tuesday morning •" The
midnight train bound north met with a
difaster yesterday morning at the
(feel) cut at Mill Creek. There is a sharp
curVe,at this point, and this effectually
prevented the engineer from seeing that
a mass of earth and: rocks liad fallen on
the track. \Tie train was running at its
usual speed when the engine struck= the
obstruction andrintly ran over it. After
breaking -the cotObig and eeparating
from the train the engine turned partially
around and capsized with a terrible crash.
The baggage car and ono sleeping coach
were thrown .from . the track, but fortu
mitely, no one in , them was .injured. Fri=
under the engine, however, was . speedily
taken the dead body of NICHOLAS Scum
uNincu, terribly crusired and disfigured.
Death must have been instantaneous:
The fireman, HfiERY
. STEVENBON, was
severely burned and scalded, and was fa
tallysinjured by inhaling steam. Ills
death occurred at 2 o'clock in the after
noon.

a pleasure to an old. "typo.'! 'The °el. : -
objection we have to it is, that it gets us up
sooner than it has heretofore been our
habit of arising ;: but the Objection is a
trivial ono, inasmuch as we are benelitted
by the perusal of the world's doings for

THE right of petition is one that should
never be abridged. It is
,one of the in
alienable privileges guaranteed to
American citizen, no matter what may
have been 'his condition previous to ac—
quiring citizenship. Be he Malay ,nr Mon
golian; this right should be respected.
And we insist that if any person has a

of this county, asking that the great re

such petition shonliF be n) longer . I:id

hardly ever, and then only when the cir

place one day, recently, with the Udell
tion of "writing up" the changes made
in the two large stores, necessary toae
commodate their immense busiPess, but.
found It inconvenient to do so, from the ‘
fact that all the clerks were busy waiting
on customers, and. the proprietors them
selves were too much engaged to give us
the necessary data ft 4 the nitride. How
ever as we met people-there from all parts
of thu county ; it was evident to us that
what we might say would be known
ready to our readers, to a great •extent
In the brief time we were in the establisht
ment we could not help noticing the com
pleteness with which each oeits many de
partnicints were tilled with specialties in
that In4tich of trade, more particularly:,
perhaps, in this respect, was the, almost
endless variety of grades and designs of
.t .patterus in the department devoted to'the
sale otcarpcts: We have no hesitancy in
saying that it is the finest stock we ever
saw displayed in any establi-hment, and
w ell worth the'time occupied in a visit to
look.it over, though you should not desire
'to purchase. •

Tha s sentiment preceding ANNA DICKIN

hardly favorable enough to warrant. her

able extremity, of-having rt/ting to say,
ANNA will yet e,ling to her favorite prerog

We very well run ember that first audi

and a little short-haired, resolute looking
woman came forward from the back
groan(' of the stage, dressed in a manner
.to indicate that the was' either above
indulging in the .womanly foilale of
dress, or that she dad not over estimate
the capacity oT her audience, to make re
quisitions in - that:direction.
We sat in our front seat, and' looked at
her with eyes that had been trained to re_
gaid her as a woman inspired by the
Gods, with a super-human mission, but
in spite'of all our radical predelictions,
she appeared to our disappointed vision a
somewhat diminished type of the supernal.
Her hair was parted on one side with
an affectation of manntsbncits and -when
she came to speak-, the room was filled
with the weight and volume of her voice;
rather than the farther reaching tones of
sweet womanly appeal and tender flexi
;Laity. ,
In those days she had only one little
way that reminded us of ordinary wo
men, prone to perplexity. She had a hab
it of her hand to her face, as if in
the act of recalling something to• a mind
feminine enough to give way to an occa
sional straying ;-but her favorite gesture
was the doubling np of -that same white
band after the remitter of pugilists, and
t.
1 rending it forth with her scathing words,
toward theiniquitoruirktter up of political
cal:massif; amide vast enginery of evil
that z siood in the way of social and. moral
reform. She bad her "'faults even then,
bat verily, she seemed to have a mission,
and ono that was Warily of tier faith in
it, and we listened and were glad, that in.
I,aemuch as Inexorable decree had ECt her
outside the limits of a more' Womanly
sphere, she was strong enough to go her
way and bear her burdens. When, later
on, the cause in which she toiled had WI
umpbed, and the nation over whose errors
she had declaimed, bad come safely
tliroughilio throes of palifical regenera-
tion, Ire hoped Alma would take a
breathing ,spell and settle4lown to some
of the holier and sweeter privileges of her
lot ; but.alas 1 the fatal impulse to mar
tyrdom was upon her and she must needs
thrust that mortal head of hers into a self
mr.nufactured "Crown of . Thorns." She
got, her a nine thousand dollai wardrobe,
and still having "something to say," sLo
essayed to say it from behind the foot
lights. The world that went to theatres,
and the press that went along with it, did
not give heed to Axia in such wise as
phased her righteous soul,
,and the old
instinct for argument, that had cornered
her man•io the Quaker. meeting house,
coining to her aid, she entered upon the
vindication of the new cause she trod es-
paused, battling for it with the same earn-
estness of purpose, and the
.sanis'
of determination that had distinguished
her warfare for a moral question. Tothe
glory and perpetuity of ANNA DlCKlNsoic's
earlier, convictions be it 'aid, they could
stand bravely alone when she• forsook
them, and when she went to drilling, in the
green roc in, and gathering her force from
the fietiom of the drama, she found for.
Booth, that tho whole realm of histrionic
art had not the inspiring, germinal .power•
of a single honest sentiment, such as had
backed her better eilOrts, when men and
women fell, and there was — no need of her
reiterating, with the dust •of the foot-
Wards iu her throat, that "the root of
t!.e matter was in her."
Ono of her shrillest bugle notes in that
elder day, was for the, elevation of her
sex, and are we to presume she • would
lead the vast army of virginsouls wherein
she has dropped the seed germs of aspira
tion for renewed spiritual and intellectual
life, to the theatre doors? They nay be
poor, and . if they must go fifteen times to a
•play as ANNA did, to get a principle in-
stilled, it will lake mene time, and cost
mote money,' than a bit of Gospel.
We know all about the welcome the
poor get from the stage, and the sort of
virtue held out to them in exchange for
their hard . earned shillings and pence. We
know how it is herein Towanda when a
ai arnatip troupe or a trAveling show comes
mbering along and dramatic represvida-
tion has about the same typo of advocates
and patronage elsewhere. Of course; they
are accessible to the poor, and go they can
aid will to the full benefit of their mental
illumination. Yon and I get huckleberries
cheap in the morning, but we. look after
the clothes lines on the night of the show,
and sland leady ivith our evidence as to
stake ortholoxy.
ANNA should in. all .consistency take
her rosition of a Sunday with the church,
whose imposing service is mostly of the
dramatic type, vih&e "sight is the educa
tor," and the grc at drama of the Nativity,
and the Cross are passed over the pulpit
that is a stage, and men and women are
appealed to through the more direct chan
nel of the senses. The Bible will be in her
way yet, and she will want its ins_pieation
diluted, ant its vital:zing force withdrawn
from the school system, in accordance with
e clamor of her new school of -reform
ANNA may think m freely a's she pleas
es, . and so may all the free thinkers.
They may. be as original as the ,loudest
libertine of thought can demand, on their
own sepre, but we have no intention of
yieidirig them the privilege of misrepre
senting one of the deepest lying princi
ples of orthodox faith and operation.
Since the day when the founder of the.
church sent back wort to the messengers
of .lotiN, as evidence that his kingdom
was imugurated, that, "to the poor the
Gospel was pwached," the church has
never for a moment forgotten thiS among
its special missions.
First, to every community comes a mis
s:oirtry and free Bibles—then 'up starts a
pulpit and a 'Sabbath school, and invita- -
fions to church commpion are scattered
so freely, that like Gon's common air
they are unheeded. When this young
church is able to .stand - alone, its first in-.
dependent movement is to establish free
'educational institutions and a department
for church extension, and mission work,
to which in almost every case may he
traced the_ impulse to all benevolent ef
fort ; and because forsooth, there are peo
ple who wear tine clothe:3A., church, and
sit in handsomely appointed pews, ANNA
recommends the theatre and the opera
for the roor. • llow, think you, would it
fare with the good washerwoman, who
front her seat in front of ours gets her
weekly instalment of Gospel truth, if she,
should happen to tread on Dame Fasb
iou's ermine, on her way to her dollar
and a half seat at the opera or theatre."
She would be helped to a bit of the wo
man's mind we imagine, less ChriStlike
and elevating than one might infer l AN-
Na's play goers-possessed,- or sent off to a
third-story gallery,. where the poor get
their peculiar sort of welcomei
A lady friend of ours one had the
pleasure of seeing ANNA at a theatre, and
she said her ladyship flashed her jewels
and flirted her fan, in a way not at all cal_
culated to inspire confidence in the poor.
We would on no - account be Unfair Or
personal, and if ANNA had been content
to quarrel it out over the fate of her he
roine, ANNE 13,0LEVN, we would bare re
mained quiet as the grave.
That' she has a will of her own, has long
been patent, but if, in order to make a
way for it, and for a sentiment in favor of
her stage performance, she has got to
mar or deface the best preserved features
of the church, we think it well to-under
stand and guard against her methods.
She and her liberal coadjutors have come
no nearer to a proper comprehension of
the idea of liberty, than they have to the
consummation of all knowledge, and if it
concerned only themselves, it would mat
ter less ; but there e uneasy pens that
haie in vain raked the earth and heavens
for inspiration until now, that her -spe6
cious and well worded sophistries have
set them to scratching at the delinquen
cies of pew holders ; and, we speak it
huinbly, there are restless female bosoms
. that are stirred to sediton at the restraints
of honiely tiecessity, because she has
flashed across their narrower track the hell
limey of her career. To such we . would
say cheerily—there is a better pl tee (than
the platform or the stage, and ANNA
DICKINSON has found it out. Knead away
at your bread troughs, and sew away at
the - hopeless shirt- buttons ! Wash the
little smeared faces and tie up the;
awry
shoestrings, and kiicw,' 0 treed r oman,
that the hum of happy children is sweet
er than the doubtful praise of the multi
tude.
ANNA began wisely, by keeping out of
the nitttrimonial harness, while she had
work outside - her woman's sphere to - do,
but verily the day is coming when she
Will let the stage go to its own, and fall

Surprises engendered lu the .right spirit. and
successfully 'carried out are usually pleasing
affairs to all concerned. Apropos of this we-would
mention a surprise pound party which was lately
.made by the Methodist society of thfi village for
their popular , pastor, Rev. E. Cole. Bro., W.
Kentner "alvraysabounding_in good- works" was
the leading spirit IA the outerprlse and Made It a
success throughout.
The company assembled at his house and from
them marched to the parsonsage taking it by storm
and surprise. The good pastor and wife having heard
nothing of it; were having their evening chat by
the glowing anthracite. The house having - been
entered, a table was. brought into requisition and .
soon tilled with presents, it presenting the appear.
ance of a grocers counter ladened with pound
packages and parcels, among which was a Pound
of "the root of all esti silver dollars while the.
