Oh !. could there in this world be found Spmejittle spot of happy land, Where village pleasures might go round Without the village tattling J How doubly blest that place would be, Where all might dwell in liberty Of Gossip's endless prattling! If such a spot were really known, Dame Peace might claim it as her own, .And in it she might fix her throne Forever and forever ; There like a queen might reign and live, Where every one would soon forgive Thedittlc slights they might receive, And be offended never. The mischief-makers that remove Farffrom our hearts the warmths of love, And lead us all to disapprove What gives another pleasure ; They seem lo take one'- part, but when They've heard our case, unkindly then They soon retail them all again. Mixed with poisonous measure. And they have such a cunning way Of telling tales. They say: "Don't mention what I say, I pray; I would not tell another," Straight to their neighbor's house they go, Narrating every thing they know, And break the peace of high and low Wife, husband, friend and brother. Of that the mischief-making crew Were all reduced to one or two, And they were painted red or blue ! That everyone might know them; Then would village soon forget .. To rage and quarrel, fume 'and Tret, And fall into an angry pet With things to much below thvin. For it'c a sad, derading part, To make another's bosom smart, And plant a dagger in the heart We ought lo love and cherish ; Then' let us evermore be found In quietness whitji all around, While friendship, peace and jo' bound, And -a'n'cry feelings perish. bnc of the greatest engineering, scientific iad mechanical feats in the country is now being performed at Cornwall, in Lebanon county. It is no less than the building of a spiral railway around and to the top of the great Iron ore mountain. It starts from the lercl of the Cornwall Railroad, and revolves around the mountain, at some places over Irussel work, at others over high embank ments, and again at others through ponder ous cuts in the solid body of iron ore, until it reaches the very top of the mountain. A great pari of the way is completed, a greater part is ready for the sills, while the rest is progressing actively. A powerful locomotive has been obtained to do the work or moving the trams, which is already at Cornwall ready for work.

The chapter of miscellaneous accidents takes in a great variety of calamities, such as death from the incavation of walls, wharves and embankments, burning, in foundcries and elsewhere, crushing be tween cars, being ruu over and run away with, and from shooting, cuttinjr, and poisoning by prescription, all of which causes convey standard warning to socie ty and the individual to be on guard. Seventy mortal cases of this class of acci dent were reported, and 20 where inju ries were sustained. There were beside eight explosions of boilers and magazines, ; several ot which were particularly fright , ful in their shock and damage. Count- i . , ' , niese uy siuaiuuuai anu ran, were alto-ether 27 revere cxnlnsiWf.il- lowed by great loss of life general, and enormous loss in the case of The Sultana. disaster in mass. To recapitulate ; there have been with in six mouths, 131 accidents to travel by land and water, wherein were 32 collis ions and 19 explosions; and about 150 accidents of all kinds, outside of the area of ruins belonging simply to fires. THE AREA OF CONFLAGRATION. Even in this respect the last half year seems to have been otherwise than ordi nary. One hundred and fifty five fires between April and Oct. 15 make no in significant item in our business account of loss by accident. In six mouths up to September we count 152. ; These Ores, too, reveal startling figures, and make a liht whercbv the commer. J cial world may read. The loss in 20 fires for the last 40 days was $0,000,000, in 25 fires, where each loss was 6100,000 or upward, $10,000,000 ; iu 45 fires for five months 810,270,000; and altogether, about 830,000,000, which estimate mate to be as near the truth as it is possi ble to arrivo with the present available date. Ualr a dozen jrreat fires combined to swejj these losses chief " " ' ammr which were those in the Petroleum re-ions; S10,- 000.000 by the destruction of Government I works in Tennessee ; .$3,000,000 by the larire warehouse couflairration in New York, 8500,000 by that of Massachusetts factories, and amounts of $200,000 and 300, U00 by burning elsewhere. Losses over $25,000,000 by fires that occurred between the middle of May aud October. IN FINE. To recapitulate a fair calculation from the foregoing would place the eutire dam age to property by disasters of a public character at about Eighty MilTious. Rob beries may be set down at about Twenty Millions more. We have thus given a fair glimpse of a field of statistics, which, if not inviting, appears necessary, at all events, to the public knowledge. Such statistics are painful, but are uot without a certain high usefulness and even philosophy, which should commend them especially to the census takers in these days of social sci ence aud statistics.
