Accident on the Brie. A collision °mitred at Holm:awe on the Erie Railway, on Friday morning last, between two eastern bound freight trains. Engine No. 206 ran into the rear of the train ahead of it.— The shock wap so severe that the tender of the engine was driven into the cab, and the fire man, Freeman Clsuson, of Port Jervis, was crushed to death. The engineer escaped unin jured. The first car mounted the tender, and caught fire, and the body of the fireman was burned almost past recognition. The responsi bility for the accident has not been assigned.— Considerable delay was caused to passenger trains by the wreck.-Binghamton Tunes (Feb.l.) Try Black Coffee. 'Tis said that black coffee,tbat is, coffee with out milt, is a healthy beveruga and the injuri ous effects of coffee come from the union of milk with it, The reason is said to be that the infusion of coffee intended for digestion, is ex tremely rich in tannin ; consequently, when brought into contact with the albumen and cas eine contained in the milk, it will instantly transform these ingredients into an insoluble leather, or powder, which greatly impedes di gestion. Coffee unmixed with milk contains no such mischievous quality. Hence, as you take your morning cup of coffee, take It black, as nearly all refined coffee drinkers in Europe do. Give Year Child a Pallor. A child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because be reads the names of things which are familiar, and he progresses accordingly. A newspaper in one year is worth a-quarter's schooling to a child, Every father must consider that information is connected with advancement. The mother of a family being one of its beads, anti having a more im mediate charge of children should herself be instructed. A. mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life, and is bmced.for,emer gencies. Children amused by reading or Study, of course are more considerate and easily gov— erned. How many young men have spent their earnings in a tavern or grog-shop who ought to have reading I How many families who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their families, would have given thousands to reclaim a son or daughter who bad ignqrantly,thought leisly !alien into temptation.

How to Organize a Rational Bank. The comptroller of the currency is receiving many letters of inquiry in respect to the organ ization of national banks under .the act of January 14, 1875. Applications for this pur pose should be made to the comptroller, giving the names of not less thaa five shareholders of the proposed bank, with an accompanying let ter from a Senator or member of Congress of the district in which the bank is located, certi lying to the character and responsibility of the applicants. The application will then be con sidered granted and the necessary form for the organization of the bank immediately trans mitted. The limit to the aggregate amount of national bank notes which has heretofore been $344,000,000, is removed by the recent act., and national banks may now be organized in any State of the Union, subject to the restrictions and provisions of the national bank act. The, proportion of the circulation which may be is- , sued to banks organized previous to July 12th, 100, is as follows ; Banks having a capital not exceeding ssoo,ooo,ninety per cent.of such eap itaf ; banks having a capital of $500,000 to $2- 000,000,elghty per cent ; banks having a capi tal of from' $1,000,000 to s3,ooo,ooo,seyentpBve per cent. ; more than $3,000,000, sixty per cent of such capital. The circulation of national banks organized subsequent to July 12, 1870, Is limited to $500,000 by an act 01 that date which provides that no.banking association hereafter shall have a circulation in excess,of $500,000. The only bonds now received as security for circulation are United States five or six per cent. bonds bearing Interest In coin, and the amount Of circulation issued is at the rate of ninety per cent. of the par value of these bonds.
