Fatal Rail Roan Accidout
Mrs. POLLT SMITH was instantly killed by be -1
ing run over by a coal train, near the Railroad
depot at this place, on Tuesday evening of last
week. It was rather a singular occurrence,
and by some it is supposed that it was pre
meditated self destruction. She was standing
close to the track, with two buckets on her
arms, for the purpose, ns some say; of gathering
coal, and saw the train approaching, but in
stead of moving out of danger, s4Aclttp,o

Sad Accidout
On Wednesday last, Mr. JAMES Timxi.Eit, of
Upper Milford township, residing about one
mile east ofMillerstown, met with a distressing
accident, which resulted in his death on Sunday
morning. He and a servant were engaged in
hauling building stone from the Lehigh Moun
tain, and coming down an irregular passage
through the woods with a heavy load, deceased
left the horses and ran behind the wagon to
tighten the lock, and in again going forward he
was caughtlbetweerr a wheel and a tree, and
wedged in so tight that the horses were unable
to move the wagon either backwards or for
wards, and ho could . therefore not be extricated
froth his unfortunate and painful situation un
til the servant had unloaded the wagon. He
was unable to walk after his release, and was
injured internally to so serious an extent that
it resulted in his death at the time above stat
ed. Ho was about 35 yearS of age and leaves
a wife and thice children.

Are you Corning to the Fair t
L iOn nexenresday the Fifth Annual Fair of the
Agricultural Society will open at this place.
The time is short. but still long enough the farm
ers and others who take pride mid pleasure in
exhibiting the fruits of their industry and skill,
to get ready and attend. Make your arrange
! merits, immediately, theiefore, and be sure to
bring somethirg along to exhibit. If you have
prepared nothir; specially for the occasion,
gather up son' , thing, however small, and bring
it along. Remember, this world of ours is not
made up of towering mountains, foaming cata
racts and billowy oceans, but of small atoms—
! each furnishing matter for curious and instruc
! live examination. So of Fairs. It is not the
big fat cattle, huge machinery, or prodigious
pumpkins that form the chief attractions ; the
numerous smaller specimens of art and natural
productions, possessing beauty, utility and
perfection, and manifesting skill, ingenuity, or
industry, make up the grand and imposing
whole. Every friend of improvement should
take a deep interest in, and contribute some
thing to the success of the Fair ; and every Le
i
high countian should take pride in doing what
ever may be in his power to render the show
I not only respectable, but equal if not superior
to similar exhibitions in other Counties—aye,
let us beat them if we can.
We call, then, upon all—and especially upon
the ladies—to be READY—to attend in person
and bring something to show. We hope the
ladies wilitake the cause into consideration—
it tends greatly to maintain their rights and en
, large their comforts—and agitate the subject
from now until the time for the meeting, giv
ing no rest to husbands or brothers until they
arouse in them the right spirit and prompt them
to the right action. Let us have one grand
mass meeting of the whole County, which shall
send back a thrill of delight and spirit of im
provement from its centre to its circumference.
These fairs are of general benefit, enable each
one to sec what his friends nt a distance have
in the way of stock, &c., and lead to an inter
change of opinion that could not otherwise be
obtained. We hope all who can will make it
suit to attend.

In case none of the three candidates in the
field receive one hundred and fiirty•nine votes,
the'dection would go into the House according
to the Provision Of the Constitution, which de- ,
Glares that the House shall choose the President
by ballot from the three persons having the!
highest number of electoral votes. If the
House should fail to make a choice before the
fourth of Marsh next following. then the matter
passes into the hands of the Senate, unless one
of the candidates for Vice President shall have
received a majority of the electoral votes, in
which case ho would, by the Constitution, be
come President. But if none of the candidates
for Vice President should have a majority of the
; electoral votes cast. then:the Senate is author
ized to choose the Vice President from the two
having the highest number of votes, and their
choice for Vice l'resident would act as Presi
dent until a new citation by the people was
had.
To be beplored—The Campaign.
The presidential campaign of 1856, has thus /
far been characterized by features totally dif
fering from any previous campaign withinf our
remembrance. We doubt whether, at any
time since the inauguration of our government,
partizan. rancors, hatreds and animosities have'.
so universally prevailed.
We observe now none of the vivacity of for
mer campaigns. The people used to consider
the election of the. President a sort of quadren
nial amusement to be enjoyed. They built log
cabins, and drank hard eider, they stripped the
skins of defunct coons : they had grand jollifi
cations and sang jolly songs. The case is very
different now. Politics is a serious business.—
The comedy is metemorphosed into tragedy.—
Men shout but there is a bitter meaning in
Opponents exhibit the
most violent antagonism, and the speech-ma
, kers are as tout-111M11.11,1 1/..) LIM

'The political newspapers fairly Yee]: with

hence, misrepres( ntations, falsehnrifis and vita.
peration. We, who have to wade through soy=
era! score of papers. every day, are heartily siek
of their interminable and unmitigated violence.
Another feature of the present campaign is
that it is accompanied by threats. from por
tions of all the parties, of a dissolution of the
Union. Surely, we have fallen ; upon fearful
times, and it behoves every trod potriot so to
discharge the linty of tin American freeman as
he thinks best for the welfare of his country.
Our Broad Acres.
The extent of our National domain is almost
beyond the power of the human mind to con
ceive. We speak of acres by the million, but
what idea does that give us of the vast area
that is included within our boundaries? This
is a great country. The New York Timcs, in
the course of an article on this subject states
some interesting facts.
First as to the acquirement of additional ter
ritory by purchase.
In 1803 we purchased'lmuisiana for $11,000,-
000, and stipulated to release France of as much
more. In 1819 we paid $5,000,00Q to Spain
for Florida. The extinguishment of Indian ti
tles cost within a fraction of $1,000,000. For
Texas and acquired Mexican territory, we have
given $35,000.000. Burveying the public lands
has cost us $5,000,000. In all $100,000,000.
besides the expenses of the Florida and Mexi
can wars. Immense as this sum appears, the
fact that we have been able to pay it without
extraordinary pressure by taxation, or other
wise crippling the resources of our country, is
a legitimate Canso for national pride and gratu•
lation. Is this not a' reat country?
The extent and value of land now owned by
the United States present somestertling figures.
We own upwards •of 1,1500m00m00 acres of
land, worth $2.000.000,000 !
It requires no reasoning powers to show the
importance of wisely economizing and prudent
ly using this prodigious National Domain.
While, on the one hand, it may be made a chief
source of our future ptosperity as a people, it
can also, if sacrificed to thecupidity of unprin
cipled politicians and monopolist speculators,
prove just such a means of embarrassment as
the lands have become, by injudicious manage
ment in the Spanish Colonies of America, and
even in Canada. The highest point of legisla
tion has certainly not heel" .reached as yet.
Tlie' amount 'of land sold within the last two)
years has been unprecedented ; but there is eve- ;
ry reason to believe that the actual possession of
it. has not been generally given to the class of
persons whom the existing laws intended to
benefit.
tr?lt. is said of one or the shrewdest and
wenithest of the business men of the city of
Washington —a man now upwards of 80 years
of ago—that he has Over set his foot in a rail
road car, a steamboat, or a graveyard, and that
ho has never been so far from Washington as I
the city of Baltimore.
which conveyed the party to the scene, and
landed in a small boat at the foot of Thirty
fourth street. Here lie was met by some men'
with a butcher's cart and conveyed to a porter
house called the Brown Jul;, at the corner of
Thirty•third street and Second avenue, kept by
John Caput, who is reported, to be a brother
in-law of one of the seconds, named Mike
Murphy.
This was about noon on Thursday. Shortly
afterwards lie was taken in a hack by some
men to Bellevue Hospital, where he died about
5 o'clock. At the hospital he was speechless.
The men who took him said his name was John
Williams. and that he had been beaten by a
party of boatmen.
ri - Ilonatur.r: A vrAill. CABRIRD OFF
BY A IlzAn.—One of those fearful accidents oc
curred near the village of Neshota, on S Lturday
last, which go so far to create the thrilling in
terest in the written romance of pioneer's life.
Just before sunset, a child 5 years old, was
seized in the presence of its mother, by a full
grown bear, and in spite of its screams, and the
frantic tffbrts of its mother, was borne off' into
the thicket. The alarm was given, and the
men with guns and other weapons of destruc
tion commenced searching the woods, but up to
Tuesday nothing has been found upon whiqt to
base a conjecture with reference to its rate.
&tars are quite plenty in this neighborhood, but
this is the first instance where human life has
been sacrificed by them, though they had fre
quently carried dr stock from the farmers, cont
ing up, as in this case, to the door of the house.

(: -- TL7NNELS.—The United States have six
ty-four tunnels on canals and railways, the long-,
est of which is about one mile. England has
forty-eight canal tunnels, of an aggregate length
of forty miles, the longest being* over three
miles ; she has also seventy-nine railway
fluty- nine of which amount to thirty-three .
miles, the longest being three miles. The long
est tunnel known is in Subetnutiz, in Hungary,
about eleven and a half mile . s ; it is used to
drain an extensive series of mines, and for
transporting oro ou°rnilway cars: In France
them are fifty-six tunnels on railways; also
eight-on canals—thirty-six of which have an
aggregate length of 5-14 miles..

been completed at Cuyahoga Iron Works, Cleve ,
land, Ohio, which is capable of producing one
ton of solid crystal ice in twenty hours. A
trial has recently been made with the above re
sult while the mercury stood at 80 degrees in
the apartment. The estimated expense of man
ufacturing ice by such a machine is $5 per ton,
or one fourth of a cent per pound. '

destructive tire occurred on the plank road be
low Cincinnati, on the afternoon of Sept. 2d, at
Sknat's distillery. which was burned, together
with 0 wooden houses, and stables and pens
covering several acres. The pens contained 4,-

open immediately, GOO of the porkers were
burned alive. Their squealing is represented
to have been appalling.

has been arrested at Paductdi, Kentucky, who
recently outraged and then brutally murdered
a little girl only eleven years of age. He con
fesses thOt he has murdered three women, whose

front the body, residents of the same vicinity.
He

the best articles that can be given to swine,
While confined, is charcoal, ••pulverized, and
common salt. Salt and snlphur nre also very
good articles, and should be constantly sup
plied. 'We would not, however, be understood
as urging the necessity of keeping these articles
continually by thorn or introducing them daily
into their fond. The first is necessary to obvi
ate the bad tendency of certain kinds of climate,
and should be supplied in quantities varying
from ono pint or two quarts, as often as once
or twice a week. Salt should always be intro

r7IIOII.IIIBLE SCENS AT AN EXECUTION. —A
shocking scene occurred at the execution of two
robbers, named Boye and Olsen, at AssenS, on
the Isle of Funen, in Denmark, on the 18th nit.
Olsen made such a desperate resistance that the
executioner and six men who helped him could
not bring him to the block without calling sol
diers to assist them. As soon as Olsen's head
was severedtrom -his body, two young peasant
girls, fifteen or seventeen years of age, rushed
through the double line of armed police who
guarded the scaffold, and filled the cups which
they carried with the blood that spouted from
the neck of the mutilated corpse, and instantly
' swallowed the horrible draught. There is an
old superstition amongst the rural population
of Denmark, that the blood of a beheaded felon ,
if drunk while it is warm, is an infallible pre
servative against epilepsy and apoplexy. The
girls were taken before a police cotmnisioner,
and declared that they had only done what they
had aright to do. They showed a paper, sign
ed G. Olsen, in which he had authorizealithem,
whenever he should come to be executed, to
drink his:blood.

of these formidable evils, he put himself in the

Boston, Wayne county, Indiana, in an immense
hickory wagon, drawn by eight horses. Each

a small white flag bearing the names of Buchan

stretched a pink colored canvass, containing the
motto, " White Husbands or None."

The Teeth:
The enamel of the teeth is one of the most
curious substances in the human organism. It
is a vitriform compound sufficiently hard to
strike fire with steel. Its surface is smooth
and polished, and it forms a thiticar layer on
the crown of the tooth, and at the parts where
the teeth come in contact, than towards the
cervix or neck. Its crystaline fibres, as seen
through a microscope,• are transverse to the
perpendicular surface of the teeth, and seem to
protrude from the ivory beneath in innumera
ble filiform pointi, giving to the more translu
cent medium which they thus penetrate and
pervade a beautiful velvety appearance. It is
supposed, however, that the enamel has neither
blood-vessels nor nerves in the matured and,
completed state, and that its formation and
sensitiveness to touch and dependent upon the
vascular and nervous structure of the interior)
osseous portion of the tooth, with which it coon- 1 1
municates by pressure or transferred motion.

afterwards arise to a fact, for there is a shade
,of difference between the twain) broke in upon
us effulgently. The roses and thorns of mar
ried life are not one and indivisible ; they grow
on separate stocks, and all that is req•aired to
part them, is a good head and kind heart.
There is one diflioulty in• the way, the thorns
are indestructible, but you have only to throw
them aside, and if anybody else chooses to pick
them up, that is their lookout; every ono
must see 11;r himself. A bunch of this sort hap
' pened to fall to our lot once upon a time, but
we can easily account for it, and that is highly
satisfactory ; we always had weak eyes, and
the vicinage thereof is much of a sameness, in
a certain phase of the moon. But we fully cal
' emulate on repeating the operation ; and wo in
tend to have a pair of specs, next time, such as
will diminish the blinding glare which Curls
and Cotton, in certain conjunctions, attitudes
and combinations, do most devastatingly throw
' around them.
Not long since, n man was head over heels
in debt, and he declared that his last specula
tion left him head over heeler. So, one who
tries by marriage to get out ortrouble, some
times gets into greater ; but in the large main,
marriage is the balm of life, it is the natural
condition of human kind, hence, Divinity has
ordained it. ,
The idea which we wished to convey, in can•
nection with the heading of this article. is that
while more women than men, in the country at
large, die of consumption, yet five hundred
married men will die of consumption, while
three hundred married women die of it. There
f ire, as to women, marriage, after tteeniy-five, is
a preventive or consumption.
Young Men
There is no moral object so beautiful to mo
as a conscientious young man. I watch him
as I do a star in heaven : clouds may he before
him, but we know that his light is behind them
and will beam forth again ; but we know that,
though unseen.illuminates his ownitrue sphere.
He resists temptations, not without a struggle,
for that is not virtue, hut he resists and con
quers, he bears the sarcasm of the profligate,
and it stings him, for that is a trait of virtue,
but heals with his own pure touch. He heeds
not the watchword of fashion, if it leads to sin :
the Atheist who says, not only in his heart,
but with his lips, " there is no God !" controls
him not : he sees the hand of a creating God
and rejoices in it.
Woman is sheltered by fond arms and loving
counsel ; old age is protected by its experience,
and man manhood by its strength ; but the
young man stands amid the temptations of the
world like a self balanced tower. Happy ho
who seeks mid gains the prop of morality.
Onward then, conscientious youith—ralse thy
standard, and nerve thyself for goodness. If
God has given thee intellectual power, awake
in that. cause : never let it be said of thee " ho
helped to swell the river of sin by pouring his
influence into its channels." If thou art feeble
in mental strength, throw not that drop into a
polluted current. Awake, arise young men!
arouse that beautiful garb of virtue ! It is dif
ficult to be pure and holy. Put on thy
strength then. Let truth be the lady of love—
defend her.—lbsv Carobitc

walk around them, regardless of their spite.
A man that has no enemies is seldom good for
anything—he is made of that kind of material
which is so easily worked that every ono has
a hand in it. A sterling character—one who
thinks for himself, and speaks , what he thinks,
is always sure to have enemies. They are as
necessary to him as fresh air they keep him,
alive and active. A celebrated character, who.
was surrounded by, enemies, used to remark.:
•• They aro sparks, which if you do not blow
will go out themselves." Let this be your feel

of those who are bitter against you. If you,
stop to dispute, you do but as they desire. unit
