RAILLOAD AcornErrr—One Man Killed and Three Boys Seriously Injured—On Tuesday,as the accommodation train from this city reach ed Baltimore, the cars ran into the depot at a greater speed than usual, and a collision was the result. A man aged 60, named Mi chael Rough, of Bolton, was killed, and three news boys were seriously injured. One of them, Peter Sprenkle, of Goldsboro,' had a thigh bone fractured, and his younger brother David had au ankle broken, besides sustain ing other severe injuries; a third, named James Mills, was badly hurt, but had no bones broken. They were all sent to the Baltimore Infirmary. A floartcrna IN LEBANON C ATNTY.. —On Fri day last Wm. Wetzle entered the building at the Union Water Works, in North Annville township, where Jacob Peffley was at work, and after an interchange of a few words, de liberately drew a pistol and shot Pefd.ey in the right breast, causing death in a few min utes. The reason given by Wetzle for com mitting the deed is that while he was in the army, Petney seduced his wife. Wetzle was in the Pennsylvania ReserVaa; 'where he served three years, and since his return he has been employed in boating for Mr. David M. liar many. DEArit OF AN EDITOll.—Enos Pfizer, one of the editors of the Bucks County Intelligence, died. on Friday last. On Wednesday he spent the day in the business office of the paper, though suffering much from weakness; and on 'Thursday, in the absence of his partner, he 'continued to attend to the necessary duties of his position. Thursday evening was spent in cheerful conversation with a friend, and he re tired to bed with the expectation of c o oing to the office in the morning. At two o'clock he was in his usual state, but at five he was found to be almost insensible, and in a dying condition. He expired about eight o'clock on Friday morning. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PENNSYLVANIA R. R. DEPOT.—Some very extensive improvements have been made in the internal arrangements of the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot, among the moat needed of which are the new arrange ments in the restaurant and dining rooms attached to that building, Mr. D. H. Hutchlt son, proprietor of the U. S. Hotel, has taken charge of the depot restaurant, and has al ready affected a great change and improve ment in the entire establishment. , The two immense rooms devoted to this business, have been renovated and refitted in handsome style, while the other reforms inaugurated by the new lessee, render the establishment not only the best of the kind between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, but are destined to make it a Popu lar resort among our own citizens, for the entertainment of the inner man. Hutchison is one of those good men who impart good ness to all they touch. He has our best wishes for success in his new enterprise. =cm Tan NORTHERN CENTR9L BAILEOAD.—The improvements made on this road within the past two years are probably greater than those of any other line of a similar length. During that time the company has entirely rebuilt the road from Baltimore to Sunbury, renew ing the rails , and cross-ties, and ballasting with broken stone, and the entire road is rep resented as being in a much better condition than at any former period of its existence. A double track has been laid between Baltimore and Cockeysville, which is now in daily use, and which is being rapidly extended to the bor ough of York, fifty-seven miles from Balti more, the grading and ballasting being nearly comVleted, and the laying of the rails already comme2ced. The double track from Dauphin to Sunbu_vy, forty-five miles, rendered neces sary by the recent opening of the Philadel phia and Erie Railroad, is also tinder contract, and is being gushed towards completion. as rapidly as a wort: of such magnitude can be. The rebel-raids upon this railway in 1863 and 1861 destroyed thirty-four bridges, all of which have been rebuilt in the most snbstan tial manner. The bridge over the Susque hanna, at Dauphin, three-fourths of a mile in length, is at present being entirely renewed with a superstructure ot 'the most approved kind, and nearly all the timber bridges on the toad have been replaced by permanent struc tures of iron and stone. The improvements made by the company during the past year have been indeed *very extensive, and yet all has been done so quietly as to attract but lit tle attention, Acv _enrollment of our. eitizensie-rtow.bairtg made, in compliance - with the nillitia — law re centiy passed by our Legislature. TnE copperheads of "Mifdintown did,not close Weir places of business on Thanksgiv ing day. They say they have nothing to be thankful for. NOTICE.--A special meeting of Advance Lodge of L 0. of G. T., will be held at their hall this (Thursday) evening, at7i o'clock. Every member is requested to be present. By order. PRESENTATION TO A PATRIOT.—The Rev. J. Walker Jackson was the recipient, last even ing, of a magnificent pair of boots, the best of John Edwards' make. The presentation was made by Sheriff Jacob Shell, and was at once as well a surprise as a most acceptable dona tion. ARREST OF Roworss.--Last evening several " roughs" were arrested for a riotous assault and battery upon a railroad conductor of one of the eastern trains. They gave the names of James Coburn, John O'Brien, Edward Shea, Morris Murphy, Michael Downes, and Charles. King. After a hearing before His Honor, the Mayor, the whole party was committed to prison, in default of bail. P. S. We learn, before going to press, that . Coburn has been released upon bail—litr. J. B. Boyd going his security. POLICE AFTAIES- *fore the Mayor.—John Skell and Julia Holly, a pair of indecent vagrants, were sent to Fort Simmons for a period of ten days. Edward Farley, a suspicious character, was sent out of the city, with orders not to return. Ann Baker and Eliza Perry, (colored,) for disorderly conduct on the streets, were fined, and subsequently discharged. Sarah Douglas, drunk and disorderly, was fined and discharged. • Robert Smith and A. S. Good, disorderly soldiers, were handed over to the Provost Marshal. EmaterparroN.- -The lecture of Rev John Walker Jackson, delivered in the South Street Church, last night, for the benefit of the Wesleyan congregation of our colored popu lation, is said to have been a grand effort, and added materially to the reputation of the Reverend gentleman, as a champion of free dom. A. large audience was present, and the proceeds amounted to a handsome sum. At the conclusion of the lecture, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by those in attendance : Resolved, That we have listened with much interest to the very able and eloquent address of the Rev. J. Walker Jackson, and we hereby tender him our most sincere and heartfelt thanks. Resolved, That in the Rev. J. Walker Jack son, we recognize a man whose principles should endear him to all who love liberty, and as one whom we, a portion of "the oppressed race" of this country, shall ever admire and esteem as a champion of. freedom and right. Busfazss Hones conversation lately with an old and retired business man, we were im pressed with one observation he made. It was sage-like and philosophic, and deserves to be repeated. Said he: Many men esteem their own business hours as more important than their neighbors, and in the selfishness thus cultivated, actually do great harm to the convenience if not the prosperity of a whole community. There is - truth'in this, which can easily be illustrated. For instance: Our banking houses are supposed to do business between 9A. M. and 3P. M. Six hours out of the twenty-four are believed to be set apart for the banking business of each community. This is a mistake, as most heavy business men, with the selfishness to which we refer, do their banking between 2 and 3 o'clock, P. al., instead of between 9 a. M. and 3 o'clock, p. is.t. There is not a banking house clerk in the Union, but will testify' to these facts. In deed, more business is often transacted during the last half, than all the six hours devoted to banking. If business men would reform their dilatory habits, it would show itself in more ways than one, in this connection, on their prosperity. AN AMERICAN DICTIONARY of THE ENGLISH Lallorreoz.—By NOAH WEBSTER, LL.' D.—. Thoroughly revised, and greatly enlarged and improved, by GRAONCEY A. GOODRICH, LL. D., etc., and NOAH PORTER, D. D., etc., Spring field, Mass. : G. &C. Merriam. Royal 4 to. pp. lxxii., 1768. Beyond cavil, this portly and handsome vol ume makes good the claim which is set forth on the title-page. The revision which the old edition has undergone is manifestly a most thorough one, extending to every department of the work, and to its minutest details. The enlargement it has received is very considera ble, the size of the page having been increased, and more than eighty pages added to the num ber contained in the previous or " Pictorial " edition. The improvements are not only really such, but they are so many and so great that they amount to a complete remodeling of the work. We are amazed at the vastness of the voca bulary, which embraces upwards of one hun dred and fourteen thousand words, being some ten thousand more, it is claimed, than any other word-book of the language. Such unexampled fullness would be apt to excite a suspicion that a deliberately adopted system of crimping had been carried on within the tempting domains of the natural sciences, to furnish recruits for this enormous army of vocables. But we do not find, upon a pretty careful! examination, that many terms of this sort have been admitted which are not fairly entitled to a place in a popular lexicon. In the matter of definition, we can unquali fiedly commend the principles by which the editor and his coadjutors appear to have been guided, notwithstanding an occasional failure to carry out these principles with entire con sistency. The crying fault of mistaking dif ferent applications of a meaning of a word for essentially different significations—the head and front of Dr. Webster's offending as a de finer, and not of Dr. Webster only, but of al most all other lexicographers—has generally been avoided in this edition. The philosoph ical analysis, •the orderly arrangement of meanings, the simplicity, comprehensiveness and precision of statement, the freedom from prejudice, crotchets and dogmatism, the good taste and good sense, which characterize this portion of the work, are deserving of the ful lest recognition and the highest praise. In all the essential points of a good diction ary—in the amplitude and selectness of its vocabulary, in the fullness and perspicacity of its definitions, in its orthoepy and (cum grano sails) its orthography, in its new and trust worthy etymologies, in the elaborate, but not too learned treatises of its Introduction, in its carefully prepared and valuable appendices— briefly, in its general accuracy, completeness, and practical utility—the work is one which none who read or write' can henceforward afford to dispense with.—Atlantic Monthly..
