vri*] ' \ -A j * Kroni tho Wilmington Commercialoflast night, wo clip the following account of the wbipplngstn Now Castle on Saturday. It i# rather ftdler than the telegraphic special ■which hiqiOared in the Beni, exin : •». - . Five men,»H colored, were whipped,.ana one placed in the pillory, at New Castle, on Saturday. Edward Smith, a young colored roan, convicted oh a charge of having criminal intercourse with a child, was placed f VAa puiory trom 10 toll o’clock A. M. AboutlOO littlo boys ahd girls,from four years of age and upwards, and about ttftoeh adult persons, wjt ncssed this exhibition. At 2 o cluck P. M„the gates Of the prison-* ard wore thrown open, and the Court having at this hour takeni a re cess, a large crowd ot persons, m addition to thw children before mentioned, gathered to witness the lashing of the prisoners. . Andrew Chambers was the first P™°"° r brought out and firmly secured ■ to the post. • He bad been convicted ol the larceny of some *«nonev from E. P. Hill, nnd, in addition to Mother punishments, was to receive twenty lashes! -As tlio Sheriff stepped forward to ex ecute the sentence noticed _ that he had been provided with a now cat- o-nme-taus, which corresponded with the new pillory and ' nost which had hut recently been erected; She Sheriff, after having measured off thedis tance and laid the “ tails” across the hack of ' riveprisoner, as if to give him warning whore mlelit exnect-tho blow, proceeded to ex ecute fhe sentence of the Court BothShor.ft and prisoner stood squarely up to the work, each apparently alike exhausted. The appro priate purple “welts” wore raised at almost every toll? The new whipping-post and new “cat*’ had their first victim, but were uotbap- Jackson was the next prisoner, and was to .receive twenty lashes, tor the larceny <if a lot of races from Jessup <S c Moore. The Sheriff, oither not being satisfied willi his first effort with the new implements, or the dark, - swarthy skin of the prisoner was not so thick ns his fellow, we do not know which, but at the end of the infliction of the punishment we noticed oozthg through a quickly-raised a. «welt” a single drop of Dlood, which trickled ► down over the person of the prisoner Blood M has now been drawn at the Khnneoithe new post, and it is now fully dedicated to the 1 administration of barbaric laws. ■ ¥ James Gordon was the next victim, and re ceived his twenty lashes very stoically, with , out blood being drawn. After the punishment was over ho drew his blanket over his striped ■ shoulders, and kicking up .his heels, f£® the disappeared from tho public gaze witlnn the £ P Joseph Derry was next brought out, and 1 received his allowance of twenty lashes, at tlio end of which an abrasure of the slan was no ticed, through which the blood was slowly °°Tli<riast was Edward Smith, who had been pilloried in the morning. He was to receive .SO Lashes for his crime. Ho had a wild, hag gard look, knowing that a severe punishment was in store for him; and. although a very large propertion of the present were averse to this mode of punishment, no svmpathy for the prisoner could be seen even bv teok or gesture The Sheriff nerved him self for the task that was before lnm, and balanced well his weapon so as to make the blow effective. The victim writhed under the punishment, and appealed with pitying looks and "broken sentences to the Sheriff for ' mercy, which were apparently answered with 'lows of greatly increased force ; several per ' % oils in the crowd clapped their hands,.and.as • ,-idce after ridge was raised on the mans back cries of.“give it to the -were heard. The iiO lashes were given, and strange to say that notwithstanding the force applied,owing to the thickness of the prisoners skin, very little blood was drawn. There beingno other victims for the post,the V crowd dispersed and the gates of the prison closed. KAIJ.ItOAn IMBASTEBS. 4 PfiMHenizcT Train on tto© Chicago and KoriUwe"«ru Hallway off the Tracfe l'ifteen or Twenty Persons Injured. I From the Omaha (JSeb.merald of Nov. 18.] 1 Tlie eastern-hound tram which lott Omaha at five o’clock P.M. on Tuesday evening ran oil the track near Mongolia Station, causing more or less injury to titteen or twenty per sons, and a terrible wreck ot the train. The latter was running, behind time, and at an un uaualrate of speetl, on a heavy down grauc, and consisted of one ladies’ coach and two of Pullman’s palaee cars, the “lowa and “Union.” As the train was rounding a sharp curve the iron gave way under the pressure and the train was thrown off, precipitating one palace car and coach down an embankment twenty feet high, and the whole train oft. The accident oecurred about midnight. Our in formants, Messrs. Smith, Allen and Perkins, Of Sioux City, who came along soon after on the train bound west, from Chicago, say that while there wore from twenty to twentymye persons mere or less injured, no one was killed outright. A brakeman ib known to be very badlVl perhaps latall.v hurt, and an elderly gentleman, Sir. Miller, of the neighboring countv of Sarpy, v»as taken to the Mongona oatiuK-liousc, where all were cared for, so badly injured as to be wholly insensible. The wreck is described as being a terriblo one. Terrible Accident at the Morris nud Essex Railroad Depot. The Kew York Tribune of to-day says: The Morris and Essex Kailroad depot, at Hoboken, was, Ijist evening, the scene of as. serious an accident as has ever happened there, resulting in the death of one man, and in the serious, if not fatal,injury of two others. At about six o’clock Two gangs of men were engaged in shifting the positions of a number of freight cars, when tliose being . shifted by one gang unexpectedly collided with those being moved by the second gang. I our of the latter gang, who stood between the moving eare, were caught between the bumpers ami three of them tyr rililv crushed. The fourth was but slightly scratched. Soon after the accident happened a wagon was procured and the suf ferers w'ere conveyed’to St. Mary’s Hospital, near' Fourth street. One of these, named Thomas Eobinson, had scarcely reached the door of tho institution when lie died. The survivors were placed in the hospital and at tended by Drs. Kehson and Chabert. Though everything is being done to save their lives, their recovery is thought very doubtful. One of them was 'in a condition so critical that it was thought he could n»t survive through the jiiglit. Several of his ribs wore broken, and his left lung and heart were seriously injured. The deceased was a resident of Hudson City, and leaves a wife and live children. Coroner Crane will hold an inquest to-day. A WASmXUTON C'AKABB. How a Sensation was Spoiled. Tlie 'Washington star of last, evening has the following observations upon a sensation story, to which allusion was made in our telegraphic columns of ycfcterday: , ' ’ "'ln Washington correspondence and also in some of our 'eoteinporarios a story has been published to the effect that a young. lady in September last committed suicide after having been seduced, and that her betrayer—a person “in high posasion ” —after .lief death went to the house where she died, and by a large bribe succeeded in keeping the affair secret, and employed an undertaker who placed the remains in the coffin and shipped them hv railroad to her former home In the West. This story occasioned, when pub lished, much surprise that such a case could have occurred and have been successfully hushed up, or that indeed a corpse could he removed from the locality pointed to without exciting suspicion and inquiry. The state ment in one paper intimated that the Coroner was cognizant of the facts, but had also been bribed, a statement which none who know him would believe for an instant, yet, never theless, one calculated to do injustice to him; with those whom he is not so well known. It is but justice to that officer to say that had he received any intimation of a case of that or any other kind, requiring his attention, an investigation—and a thorough one—wonld have followed. However, when this story was published, he immediately set to work to ascertain the truth or falsity of the statement, and, consulting, with - Major ItichiVidS, they determined to work up the case, and accordingly Major K. and some . 0 f tits officers set about it. The officers and Coroner, we learn, have satisfied themselves •- |i, a t there is no truth whatever in the story ; i Cmf about the time named (the day of General r Hiawliu’s funeral, September !>th,) no corpse ; was taken on any of the railroad traiiis leav ’ ■ Mfclng this city,' nor, indeed, during the mouth without the oxhlblttou of a corttflcato froth a physician; that those which were shipped wtro Of persons well-known, whose j do,»ths wine tecularly certlflert to.and that, in fart the whole story is without foundation. In investigating the matter they; hud reason to that the story wrts put afloat with tlu> nhiert ot'dstunfiing the character of thehead. Of a bfirean Of the Interior Department. They wifl probably he able to make somo lmportant deXmeS in regard to the authorship Of tlie canard. CITY BULLETIN. Tm GIItABD COLLEGE ; M6NU3IENT. statueof a young volunteer, tbo un veiling of which will form the attraction of the coremonv at Girard College to-morrow, we have l^® B ''^^ rite its -individuality, or separate it from the many memorial figures which have been prepared with a similar design. But Jt is, nevertheless, different from them all. The simnlo dignity of an honest boy—tor boyhood lns\ts own proper dignity —the modest air of ini'rit the enuipoiso (rare, but occasional in voutli) that appears equally ready word of command with docilitj, or to nasn into fire and passion- in oxecutmg it, the tvno sturdy yet refined, the American trait ol goodncsH carried off with sang-froid, and all the classic charm which goes with the 'idea of the scholar-soldior, these are what we have found in studying the expres sion of this noble young co egian. We are 'Had that an immortal incentive hue this lias fieen buildcd up beside the noble,st collcge huildin "in the world, and in the atmosphere of the finest educational charity ofats time.

The Times as They Ake.—Notwithstan ins the usual cry of “hard times,” the peo plo of our city nover appeared happier or more prosperous. This peculiarity, if it can ho called Biich, is exemphtied on our public promenades, on overy clear and pleasant day. Take Chestnut street for instance. Here you see thousands of ladies, children, gentlemen, ■without distinction of race or color, and ot all ages, from the young Miss just springing into the summer of her existence to the aged matron ■whose brow is wreathed with tnc frosts of at least threescore winters. All are dressed in fashionable array, if there is such a thing as fashion,for it appears to be as diversi fied as the colors, patterns and desigas for dress. But the moving trains of'humanity, nevertheless, appear happy and contented, notwithstanding the cry ot hard times. To the superficial observers ot men and things in general, such street scenes scarcely, if ever, awaken even a passing thought, and it is just such persons who cry “har& times,” “ hard times.” Isovv lot us see how hard the times aro. In one hour, on a genial afternoon, there passed along in tront of the Bulletin building the following num ber of people: Ladies, 4,(120; gentlemen, 2,340: hoys and girls, 000; making a grand total of 7,850 human hoiugs, or about two in each second. Most of the ladies wore loves of bonnets” at the rate of $2O each, say *l5 as the average price. Dresses and shawls and other things to match, say $lOO, low estimate these liaTd times. Gaiters, 85 per pair. The asirrccato amount for each lauv is, at these figures, $l2O each. The whole amount, worth or cost for all the ladies, is $554,400. The cost for adorning the persons .of gentlemen would ho say $5(l each. This is a low estimate. There fore, the cost of the hats, boots and clothing for the number of gentlemen as named would amount to $117,000. The boys and girls at $2« each would amount to $22,250; making a grand total of $003,050. , ~ This does not look like very hard times. The reader desiring to pursue this subject can estimate how many persons were employed in making so much dress, as worn by the crowd that passed by the Bulletin office in a single hour, to and, fro. How much happiness was there in the neat and cleanly homes of the seamstresses and others who had the work to do V This subject affords a 11 ne field tor an essay, but we think we have elucidated enough to show that, notwithstanding the stale cry ot hard times, the times in reality are not so hard after all. * CMIUKCH HxTkSsTOirSOCIETY OF THE M. E Church. —A number of the Methodist churches in this city on Sunday last took up their annual collections in aid of tho Church Extension Society. .Tho sums re ported as subscribed are as follows: St. George’s, $275; Ebenezer, $114; Nazareth, $100; Green Street, 8300; Arch Street, $000; Spring Garden Street, $1,200; Fifth Street, $100; Salem, $142; St. John’s, 5225; Bethel, $125; Wharton Street, 5350; Kensington, $208; St. Paul’s, $139; Sanctuary, $25; Eleventh Street, $5O; Trinity (in part), $250, Total, $4,573. About forty churches in this city have yet to report their collections for the same object. In addition, Jas. Long and S. P. M 7 Tasker, Esda:, each subscribed to- the “ Loan Fund” of tho Church Extension So ciety the sum of slo,ooo—payable iD install ments of $l,OOO per annum. Election of Officers.—The Jerusalem H.K. A. Chapter, No. 3, A. Y. M., held their annual election last evening, and the follow ing officers for the ensuing year to commence from St. John’s day next, were chosen: Comp. Horace Fritz, High Priest. Comp. K. Salter, King. Comp. J. G. Allen, Scribe. Comp. J. B. Van Osten, Treasurer. Comp.D.F.Dealy, Secretary. Trustees—Comp. J. Worthington, J. T, Huberts, J. Cresswell. ? House Bobbery. —The dwelling of Mr. Kyle was entered through the trap-uoor about 11 o’clock last night: The upper part or the premises was ransacked and several trunks were broken open. The thieves carried off a lot of silverware. The trap-door was rcacupu by passing through a neigh noting house which is undergoing repairs. Attempted Larceny.— Edward B<*dlh, colored, whs arrested last ll o omojG wbiloigettlng over ‘ the fence of a house on Seventh street, below Barclay. Bast week some clothing was missod from this house,and it is now supposed that Smith, took it. Aid. Kerr committed him for a further hearing, Abrksxed.— William Loguo was arrested last night, at Twenty-third and Market; streets, upon tho charge of ,having attempted to break into a house at Eighteenth and Wal nut streets a few days ago. H© Was held in $2,000 bail by Aldorman Kerr. „ Disorderlies.— The SeventhDistrlct Polloe arrested thirteen wOnton for behaving dlspr deriv'in tho streets, and ten young men for corner-lounging, tout evening. .'She prisoners were all committed by: Aid. Toland. Monet Drawee Bobbed.— An old woman Went into the tavern Of Charles McKenna,No. 701 North Twenty-third Street, yesterday after noon, apd during tho temporary absence of tho attendant robbed the money-drawer of $B. Exrr.osiON.— A gas-pipe in, the restaurant of Owen Petted, at Tenth ant Sansom streets, burs ted about 11 o’clock lost night,and the bar tender was severely injured. Entry Thief!— A fellow sneaked into tlie entry of house No. Ml Franklin street, last evening and helped himself to two overcoats. t ound Open.—Twelve houses in the First Police District were found unfastened last Lighting Gas by Elkotrioity.-Tlio operation of lighting gas by. electricity was Shown this morning by Mr. E. E, Bean, the inventor and patentee of J&o procegs* at tn© store of Messrs. Miskey, Merrill & Thackani, No 718 Chestnut street. This plan is novel, and in the lighting of street lamps and the gas in largo buildings is calculated to make a great saving of gas, and thereby expense. A small box beneath the burner contains the electrical apparatus, and in tho ease of street lamps the posts are connected by means of wires, Which are placed in woodwork, sunk just beneath the surface of the ground. By this means, it is estimated that aU of the street lamps m Phila delphia can ho lighted or extinguished m about seven- minutes, and the experiment made this morning, necessarily ou_a small scale, fully confirmed this estimate. The plan is to divide large cities into circuits, each comprising about two hundred lamps. lor each circuit a battery is required,, but all can be worked simultaneously, like the operation of our fire-alarm telegraph. By the electrical lighting tho services of the lamp-lighters will he dispensed with, and the gas consumed in the two hours re quired in lighting and extinguishing the lamps will be saved. Of course this will make a great reduction in tho expense oir lighting. The breakage of glass in tho ©poll ing and shutting of doors will also be avoided. Tbo electrical boxes will cost about $5 for eaoli lamp-post, and the laying of the wirtM will not he expensive ; and tho total cost of the appa ratus will almost be covered by the fifst years savings. _ • . ! ' Wood and Leather Paper.— Messrs. Jas. 0. Finn & Son, southeast corner ot Tenth and Walnut streets,have something new and novel in the wall-papering line. It is called natu ral wood paper,” and is made by taking tue impression of the wood. When put upon walls and varnished of oiled,the paper cannot be distinguished from the real wood. Wal nut, oak, mahogany, maple and ash are repre sented among the stock on hand. The natural wood paper is entirely different from wood haugingg, and is less expensive and more dur- ■ able The same firm has on exhibition speci mens of fresh leather paper; imported trorn Paris. This paper is intended for panels for dining-rooms and libraries, and will greativ beautify the rooms upon which it is used ‘ The designs are handsome and the imi tation of the leather used upon furniture is perfect. In Paris this new style of leather K t hanging is all the rage now, and it must me popular here m fine mansions, al though none has, as yet, been introduced into .this city- Some has already been sent to ’Baltimore. The elegance of an apartment papered iu this style is well illustrated by the appearance of the window of the store ot Messrs Finn & Soil.
