On Friday last Mr. Robert Brown of East Stroudsburg, in company with Mr. Charles Smith and others, neighors, started for the back woods with a number of young cattle for the purpose of leaving them in pasture fur the summer. All progressed finely until the party reached a short distance above Tacneisville, when Mr. Browu accidentally fell from the wagon in which he was riding, and received severe cuts and contusions on the head and shoulders. lie was brought home the same day when his hurts received proper attention, and he is, we are pleased to learn, about recovered from the effects of the accident.

RAILROAD ACCZDEXT! ONE MAN KILLED, AND A NUMUER INJURED 1 The gravel train of the Delaware, Lacka wanna & Western Railroad, on its way to this place ou Monday evening last, jumped the track at Request switch, near Oxford, N. J., and as a consequence was badly wrecked. The tender aud a number of the cars were broken, to pieces and scattered around in dif ferent directions. Mr. Charles Thompson, (colored,) one of the employees of the train, was thrown from the car on which he sat, and instantly killed. Lorenzo Dildiue and Adam BelHs, the former dangerously, and the latter serriously injured, aud a number of others badly cut and bruised. The train at the time of the accident was said to have been runing at a rapid rate, and i h i wonder is that the fatality was not greater. Doctors Bush and Miller of East Strouds burg were called and rendered the necessary medical and surgical assistance, and, under their judicious treatment the patients are are doing well.

Court 1 occcdings. Nearly all of Wednesday was occupied in case of Commonwealth vs. John A. Quacco, for assault and battery upon the person of Eliza Jane Henry with intent to commit a rape. Witnesses ou one side swore directly contrary to those on the other. The case of the Commonwealth was very weak, Charlie Henry, the girl's father, having apparently manufactured a mountain out of a mole hill, yet the jury with inexplicable obstinacy threw the arguments of counsel, the Judge's charge, and the evidence entirely out of the question and rendered a verdict of guilty.

Many of our readers have no doubt been tempted to inquire, what sort of an insect is the buffalo gnat ? The telegraph brim us accounts of cattle and horses destroyed in great numbers by. them, in Tennessee. An exchange thus describes them : "The buffalo gnat, which is causing so much destruction among cattle in th Southwest, is a small insect, not more than half the size of the house-fly, which sud denly appears in the air by millions and settles upon all four-footed animals within reach. A horse or cow will be literally covered with them at night ; in the morn ing the animal will be found dead and 111. mi . swelled to an enormous size, llie bite is very poisonous, and the wound quicks- festers. Cattle owners find that the most effective way of protecting their animals is to cover them with a coating of diluted tar, but it that cannot be done fires are built and the smoke drives off the insects Amongst the wild animals, especially the deer, on the Arkansas side of the river, the ravages of the gnat are everywhere apparent. Without any protection, the deer fall victims in larjre nambcrs to this poisonous insect, which, however, docs not touch man.

She weighed at least five hun dred pounds, and it required four men to lift her from her bed.

When it is borne in mind how much more good might be accomplished br the use of this money in charitable dispensa tions, missionary enterprises, distribution of religious literature the folly of wasting so much money for scats in fashionable churches becomes apparent. Many acts of heroism were performed during the late terrible fire at Osceola in this State. A young man named E. De Beck heard that a woman who had just been confined was K ing helpless in a shanty in the woods, across the creek from Mos- lannon Mills. The mill had caught fare and was burnimr fiercely. There was a narrow passage leading to the woods be twecn the mill and a pool where the logs were stored. The legs were burning even while they floated in the water. De Beck, with four or five others, started over this passage through the flames and smoke, reached the woman's house, and putting herself and her children on an old sofa, carried them safely out on their shoulders De Beck s eyes were severely burned. The Chicago Tribune regards the third term resolution of our State Convention so well-expressed that it republishes it and adds : We believe that this expresses the senti ment of ninty-nine out of every one hun dred citizens who vote the Republican tiefcot. It is in no sense directed against General Grant, who was heartily indorsed by the same convention which adopted it General Grant's public services, and his successful administration of the Govern meut during two terms, divest this rcsolu tion of every suspicion that it was aimed at him, and he has done nothing personal ly to call for it at this time. But it is a resolution which might be repeated at every State and national convention that is held with just as much propriety as any other of the general propositions usually con taincd in a party platform. It has become by tradition and by popular sentiment, one of the cardinal political principles of this eouutry. Its utterance now is especially timely, as it is calculated to quiet the ap prehensions of any nervous people who may have become unduly excited over the matter. The Ohio Convention cannot do better, for the same reason, than to incor porato this resolution ia its own platform as it probably will do ; and after that we lancy that, third term will be heard ot no more except as State conventions may think proper in the future to repeat the senti meut.

The Milwaukee JVeics says : "There was a young girl at the ponce station re tently, not over sixteen, with prepossessing face and a good figure, whose body and limbs are covered with scales about the size of and similar in appearance to the scales of fish. Medical gentlemen who have ex amined her say that shep resents the most ex traordinary case ol malformation on record. These scales have the chameleon-like func tion of changing their color. The scales on her arm, while the writer was present, changed twice from a pale amber color to blood red and back again. Thev do not overlie each other as in the case of fish or reptiles, but appear to be imbedded in the flesh in a sort of mosaic work ; and in color changes, the transformation does not take place at once in all the imbricated plates, but varies, some turning red while others retain am ber color which seems to be the primary hue. Stealing a Woman's Hair. The Susquehanna Gazette says that on Saturday evening last . as Miss Lillie, daughter of F. M. El ting, was passing along Laurel street on her way home from a nighbor's she heard quick footsteps following her own. As she increased her speed the person following increased his correspondingly. Suddenly the person grasped Miss Elting by the hair, which was dressed in the style of a long braid, and with a sharp instrument, probably shears severed it from her head in a second. Miss Elting screamed and hastened towards her home. As soon as the villian had clip pen the hair he hastened in an opposite direction. In his flight he fell flat upon the walk. As the night was dark and the man made his approach from behind, the young lady was unable to indentify her assailant. The object of the villian's outrage was evidently to sell the hair, which com mands a good price. lie richly deserves to have his hair clipped off, head and all.

If the cut be extensive, or an artery vein, or any other important part be injured, it becomes a more important matter. Acci dental cuts from knives, cutting-tools, scythes, etc., are more likely to occur on the face and limbs than on the body. All that is requisite in general is to bring the parts together as accurately as possible and to bind them up ; this is usually done by ad hesive plaster, when the cut ceases to bleed. Nothing is as good for this purpose as pa per previously washed over on oue side with thick gum water, and then dried ; when used it is only to be slightly wetted with the tongue. When the cut bleeds but little, it is well to soak the parts in water for a few minutes, or to keep a wet cloth on it. This removes inflammation and pain, and also a tendency to fainting, which a cut gives some persons. If the bleeding be too copious, daub the part with a rag wetted with creosote. If the wound be large it should be sewed up. If the blood that is sues be very scarlet, it may be concluded that an artery has been touched, and then, whenever the bleeding cannot be stopped, medical aid must be procured ; the best method to pursue is to bind up the wound tightly or to hold a linger strongly Against the part that bleeds. sowini Hungarian Wash- Ihoniter rav.-i"-,. tl,,. e tjcen rreatlv wi-- . ,j j o is confined to op prospects are geu- Our Educational System. Professor Bonamy Price, aftar a careful study of the system of popular educatieii in this country and the manner of putting that system in practical operation, thinks that the United States have had remark able success in training efficient teachers. This opinion he applies with peculiar force to female teachers and he adds that "now here in the world at the present time is better teaching, a more accurate conception of the nature of its functions, a more agree able method of handling young people, a more thoropgh sympathy between the minds of teachers and the taught to be wit nessed than among the female teachers of the United States." This class of instruc tors not only have knowledge, but how to impart it to others in a sure and agreeable monner. The Professor lays down the principle, as a starting point, that mere learning is not enough to make a good teacher. To this must be added "quick sympathy, the ability to appreciate the pro cesses of the youthful mind and a certain amount of enthusiasm." When these quali, fieat ions arc united in one person, he is fully equipped for the contest with ignor ance and error in the world, the battle field being the school-house, the siminary and the college. The testimony of Pro fessor Price in behalf of the female teachers of the United States is the more valuable because it comes from a man who is full)' qualified to pronounce a proper opinion up on the subject which he treats in his late essay.
