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.

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..

MAYER'S MILLINERY GOODS.
O, but the weather is getting cold,
I can scarcely draw my breath; , '
If I don't get furs with my silver and gold,
I will surely be frozen to death.
I must buy some nubias and hoods,
As thick as a feather bed;
Some plain and embroidered woollen goods
To cover my shoulders and head.
Good gloves for the hands, and veils for my
face,
And the best bonnet trimmings about; .
So I'll go to-Mayer's—yes, that's the place,
- For they say he is bound to sell out.
He has ladies' cloaks and bonnets and hats,
And breakfasting capes and veils, 4
And knit woollen hoods, as thick as door mats,
And then he makes very cheap sales!
If you want perfumery, rich and rare,
Or handkerchiefs, tidy and neat,
Or under garments of - linen to wear,
Go to Mayer's on Market street.
Between River alley and Front,
The sign hangs over the door;
Go to Mayer's, because, if you don't,.
You'll rue it a thousand times o'er.
