KIMPING ACCIUNCNTSPItoM NEWSPAPEII9.
The. refusal of railroad oillelais to glee the particu
hrs of accidents in their pussesblon for publication
in the press Is an evil which often creates the most
intense and palatal anxicty, and should be in
stantly abandoned. Very frequently reporters are
obliged to rely on the exaggerated statements of
p Imagers, simply because railroad companies
preserve a studied silence when asked for In forma
tion in relation to casualties on their lines. In
lOU of biding the facts and thereby aiding the
exaggerated reports which had been circulated,
they should promptly famish the press and the
public the fullest and most unreserved statement
of all the details of the accident that can be oh

Mamma ACClDENT.—Wednesday an acci
dent happened at the Allentown Rolling Mill Com
pany's Machine Shop, by which Franklin Weiss,
reciting at the corner of Second and Gordon sta.,
was badly, and probably fatally, injured. Wass
wits the driver of a cart used for hauling heavy
pieces of Iron. At the time of the accident work.
men were trying to raise a roll to convey it to the
rear of the cart. In order to do this they had a
rope and tackle to work with the lever, and when
they had raised It to nearly the required height the
chain slipped, throwing the hook from ha place
and the lever flew back with great force. A bolt
upon the lever struck Weiss upon the back part of
his head and penetrated hie skull and brain. Fie
! was picked up In an insensible condition and after
Drs. Feeley and Reichard had arrived on the spot
and anode an examination, he wait conveyed home.
Mr Weiss died, on Thursday about noon. De
leaves an wife and several children.
Plunt.lint.ya number of people are deterred
from going to Dr. Bernhardt, on account of his
high charges. We would, therefore, remind our
eitizens'that It is only in difficult cases, where the
Doctor is compelled trispend several hours during
several days for the intrptse of obtaining the exact
'measurements of the eye, that high charges are
made. Remember his professional services are
worth something. If he can make the blind see
Is it not worth the cost I lle has not exactly done
this, but he has given relief In cases.whero the
valeta could not obtain such sati . •factlon after
visiting ono after another of the leading oculists
uf th.. country. Such persons are only too glad
to obtain the proper kind of glasses, even If they
do pay fifty, seventy-five or a hundred dollars—
after having tried them they say they would not
pin with them for thousands. In cases where the
eye is Impaired only by age, the charge Is ten dol
lars. This Is very low, because the purchaser
sa.es his eyesight, Instead of having It weakened
year by year until he has to buy a higher number.
DON'T grasp for those things beyond your' .
reach. Be energetic, enterprising and aspiring,
but let all your busiuess traueactions be governed
by moderation and caution. Make sure of what .
you have got, before you sigh for other worlds to
conquer. Nothing can be More buttful to u com

in extensive speculations, upon small capitals,
with the insane desire to grow suddenly and im

to make money lu Allentown uud there are men
who to-day are worth a hundred thousand or two,

they stake on the result. Labor elowly,but surely,

GET READY FOIL A SMASIL—A. decidedly
new sensation la promlted .us ou the 12th of next
August. The fatuous M. Plautamour, Professor
of Astronomy In Geneva, hits dl+corered a new
comet, which, It la declared, exceeds In size any
similar meteor hitherto knonna of. By the elabo
orate calculations of this learnedobserver,tbe new
comet Is darting directly toward our globe with
prodigious velocity, and will come Into collision
with It on the twelfth of August as aforesaid. -
The approach of this terrific object will be herald
ed by an extraordinary degree of heat; and the
catastrophe cannot possibly be avoided unless by
. a deflection, not note to - be prognosticated, pro
duced by the cornet Impinging on the attractive
scope of some other heavenly body. We believe
that this alarming prophecy corresponds with one
of Dr. Cummings' more recent announcements;
and, If so, science and religlon—or ouu eccentric
representative of It—will for once and unequivo
cally be In accord. The inhabitants of the earth
will have at least this consolation, that alter the
Plantainour comet comes within the range of tele
scopic observation, and becomes visible to the
naked Lye, there will yet be a long time for them
to set their houses In order and prepare for the
" eternal smash" that must ensue.
Lustnttu Plton'ttere.—As the approaching
but ding season promises to be brisker than any
preceding one in Allentown for many years a few
facts relative to the lumber prospects may be of
Interest to many of our citizens. A Columbia
paper learns from " up river" sources, that more
than an average amount of timber has boon pre
pared for ratting this winter. Great activity has
prevailed throughout the region which is traversed
by the numerous tributaries of the Susquehanna.
There has not been as much Snow as usual, but
the roads used for hauling have been In fair con
dition throughout the greater part of the winter,
and teams had not to stand idle. What lumber
men now f ar Most Is a lack of water when the
rafting period comes round. The snows
,being
light; It will take a succession of rains after spring
has fairly opened, to make such a rise as can be
depended upon for convoying the lumber to mar
ket. It will be remembered that the freshets of
bait Spring were rapid In their rise, and that they
abated suddenly, leaving a large percentageof the
had been prepared for rafting.
There andnteluotilL9l Ice In all the
streams of the lumber region, some-id-Wein-being
frozen to a greater depth than many years before.
In some Instances this has been taken advantage
of, and logs have been hauled for miles over the
smooth surface of the congealed creeks. Some
apprehensions are expressed by those living along
the upper Susquehanna, In case there should come
a sudden break of the very heavy bodies of Ice
which have accumulated, but it le hoped that there
will boa gradual thaw out, and a steady and per
manent ese oral° waters. It would be well, how
ever, for thoao living along the river, to keep a
sharp lookout about the time whoa the break-Up
of this present long amtbard winter takes place.
TOE Newyork and Philadelphia Railroad
bill has been defeated in the Now Jersey Legisla•
tore. Where isn't the Pennsylvania Central the
power that governs? When will the people lips .
up against this monopoly, which owns the press
and the Legislatures of the States?
Dn. BBIIMIAIIDT.—This gentleman has not
yet been enabled to leave Allentown, the report
of lila singular ability in discovering the ailments
of the eye, and his j /Melons adjustment of the
proper glasses, having gone abroad and brought
to his consultation rooms numbers of those In need
of his services. He has been visited by persons
from Boaton,Now York, Philadelphia, Norristown
and Pottsville, besides many from the towns about
Allentown. We have conversed with many using
Dr. Bernhardt's glasses, and have been surprised
at the gratification they all have expressed. We
have not heard of a single case c f dissatisfaction,
or anything approaching it, and no present could
better testify the feeling of good will to a friend or
relative, than life restoration to sight, which never
falls to accompany Dr. Bernharat'a glasses,when
ho himself fits them t: the eye. In all cases the
Doctor himself must sea the eye. Call at Once,
before be is called away.
A NOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.—A terrible
and fatal accident occurred on Wednesday morn
ing, about eleven o'clock, at &timer's building.
Thomas Hiskey was on the first-floor, in the south
east corner of the stone building, taking out sash.

THE BLIND AND AGED AND TEOI3B OF IM—
PERFECT POWERS or VISION.—Thero are more
men made blind by wearing imperfect glasses than
people are accustomed to believe. Through com
mon glass, full of impurities and of different re
fracting power and different degrees of translu
cency, at any two points on the surface, many
people look till they can see no more. Buy mean
glasses at any shop, and no sooner do we enterthe
sunlight than tears begin to flow. By use the eye
adapts itself to tasks It must discharge, and tho
unthinking wearer of coarse glasses never discov
ers how fatally be has Injured h:s powers of vision
till It maY be impossible to repair the mischief.
Common glasses are made of sand, like bottles
an I window panes. There are hardly two grains
of sand of the sums color, orof the same transpa
rency. When molted, impurities are removed to
the greatest possible extent by the manufacturer,
but he finds It utterly Impossible to render the
product of his skill faultless, us that glass made
of the Australian crystal and Brazilian Pebble.
Tho surface and Interior particles of glasses made
by Dr. Bernhardt are perfectly uniform In their
constituent particles. It follows that there are no
Imperfect rays of light that Impinge upon the
surface of thc eye and optic nerves. In these facts
consists the supreme excellency of Australian
crystal and Brazilian pebble lenses. It also hap
pens that the Doctor has beeh so long addicted to
optical inquiries, that visitors of his apartments
are subjected to curious experiments. Ile exam-
nes for a moment the interior and surface of the
visitor's eye, and instadtly applies glasses that
perfect powers of vision. If there be disease, Its
cause Is detected and modes of relief suggested.
These latter tasks Dr. Bernhardt assigns to phy—
sicians who would undertake them. It Is oo part
of his purpose to Interfere between patients and
regular physicians. Dr. Bernhardt may be seen
at No. 10 American Hotel. •
A Nashville physician 'leaks of Dr. Bernhardt
as follows:
NASIIVILLE, April 27, 1867
The difference between Dr. Derohardt and most
Opticians Is, according to my observation, that,
while they pretend to more than they know, he
knows more of his business than he professes.

IF WE did not have a conscientious desire
to do a positive good to the community we would
not . eay so much inspecting Dr. Bernhardt'e skill
as an optician, but while ho is here we cannot say
too much or too urgently recommend those having
defective eyesight to go to him. Ferrous whore
sight Is simply Impaired by age will receive the
same proportionate benefit as those whose sight Is
impaired by disease. For the former he charges
but ten &Attire, a sum that is insignilleart whe
vanecompared with the of Caving the eyerlg .
In several Instances the Doctor has given patlen 8
spectacles of a lesser power than they bad been
accustomed to using, and their sight was made
better than it baa been foiYeaiii.. With - ettiiiiii; -
defective glasses a person is liable to pick out
those which are too powerful for the eye and
which weaken Instead of srengthening the sight
and the eve Is ruined. flow much better it is to
pay a few dollars more and have the satisfaction
of knowing that your eight is being cared for by
one who has all the Wattles, the skill and the
professional education that enable him to know

estimated at $770. In June, 1871, a member of the
company. a conductor in the employ of the Read

cattle. At that time the membership numbered
but 180,aad the decease's) widow therefore receiv

A FALSE Itirntraeron.—The opinion gener
ally pr evails
. that t owing to an advanch In the price
of wool, goods manufactured therefrom will be
much higher than heretofore.
Thus the Clothing of a large family becomes a
serious matter with some patents, and every hint
that cute them in possession of information
whereby a great saving may be effected should be
treasured.
No doubt the price of Clothing will be hlghrr
generally where material has been bought lately,
or without the employment of sufficient capital fo
buy haspr ca•h, which always secures its advan
tages; but where sharp foresight has prompted the
securing of early bargains, and sufficient capital
has enabled the purchase of immense quantities,
which a large business insures the certain sato of,
finch dealers can afford to give their patrons the
full benefit of the advantages thus secured.
The truth of these opinions is strengthened by
a conference with our old friends BENNETT & Co.,
of the renowned Tower Hall Clothing, No. 518
Market street, Philadelphia, who have purchased
a vast stock of materials for Ready Cash at much
lower prices than they could now be obtained for
under any circumstances, and have made them up
Into a splendid assortment of Clothing for Gentle'
men, Youths and Boys' wear, which, owing to the
peculiar advantages mentioned, they will be able
to sell, as long as the present stock lasts,at Ifrlces
no hloher. and In aome Instances even lower than
those of last year. We, therefore, cordially mem-
mend all who wish to save money and desire fair
dealing to glee them a call, for they cannotdo
