RAILROAD' ACCIDENT-FSARPDL RIDE.
—Ott Wednesday morning of last week,
says she cumberland Telegraph, as the
early coal; rain from the mines of ihe
Cumberland Coal and Iron Oompauy was
coming down she grade, about four o'clock,
the train ran over a large boulder which
had rolled down from the embankment
immediately upon the centre of the track.
The locomotive passed over it with alight
damage, but the balance of she train, inclu
ding the tender, had every brake ripped
out from one end of the train.to she other.
The brakeemen becoming aware, of this
fact; and seeing in a moment that the cars
could not be controlled goink down a grade',
of over one hundred feet to the mile,
thinking dierustion the better part of valor.
at once left the r ,train. On it went, and at
each revolution of the 'wheel the momen
tum increased until the velocity beese
l
absolutely frightful. The whistle sou -
ded to put down the breaks, but the onl
i lc
answer was a wild, uneartkly whistle re
verberating amongst the bkgk hills, scarce
r ly heard"before it died sire) , or was
drovrned by the rattling of t)se swift revol
'upon the wheels on the ion track. At
length the engineer bin:rime convinced
that something must be the mater.
Adjusting his valves, ' he began cautious
ly to pick his way to the rear of the train.
As he advanced through the thick dark
ness he tried so pot down the brakes of
first one and then another of the care.—
All were brokeo off or damaged by the
r0...k on the track. He at length felt his
way back to the Iwo cars sylits rear of
the train. Pulling out the doupling-pin,
ho felt sure that he could control them
le, hen dinaChed frotn the train. But they
were in the same condition. ' All were
broke.- No control could be exorcised
over thorn. The train was now "running
at frightful opeed. What to dot was the
next consideration. To jump seemed
like certaio death, while to remain upon
the train promised no exemption from a
similar fate. A moment's thought deter
mined
Elie course of the intrepid engineer.
Clinging lor a moment to the rear car, he
consnienced climbing down until he could
feel the ground with his feet. He then
let all holds go, falling against she groand
with much violence, but escaping with a
few painful bruises.
On went the train at a furious rote.—
The two detached cars were thrown from
the track before going a great distance.—
One of the other iron hopper, had the
trucks knocked from under it, and it W 149
dragged some distance, completely rip
ping out the bottom, but finally , checking
the train some three mile. above town.—
Take it altogether, it was a frightful occur
fence, and seen • in the deep darkness of
the morning, whipping in and out amongst
the gorges of the mountain, with the
sparks and strain issuing from the . loco
motive in a vast column; with a solitary
man clinging for life to the rear car, eau-•
tiously climbing down to escape from
almost certain death, it must have presen
ted a scene of fearful import. The name
of the engineer was Mr. George Myers.

here from a responsible source, dated Fort
Dodge, lowa, Alarch 23. save that a settle
ment of twenty families at the head waters
of the Dee Moines river had been Attacked
by Indians, and that it was supposed that
all were murdered. Only, two houses
were visited by the persons bringing the
no we i in, which fourteen dead bodies
werefound. Some had 'been shot and
others inhumanly 'clubbed to death. It
is presumed that the whole number of
persons composing the settlement were
killed, or that they ate now in captivity..
A meeting of citizen' was called on the
t2d ult., and a company of fifty to one
hundred men had organized to march' to
take vengeance on the Indians and rescue
any persons that might be' found with
them.
1110" Sporting men" is the, dainty
phrase by which a telegraphic dispatch
characterizes two persons who yesterday
undertook to drive their rival horses one
hundred mites without food or rest, start
ing from Albany at +5 s..m. and going west
to Whitestown, beyond„ Utica. The frogs
in one of /Esop's tables reminded the
, boys who were stoning them that what
was sport to one party was death to the
other; and it seems to us that tbe laws
of any humane and Christian people ought
to punish severely the cruel wretches who
could plan cud drive such a race as this.

which will necessitate large apprqpria

fact that the Commonwealth contracted a

these sober considerations are weigh
ed as they deserve, how overwhelming be
comes the conviction that regard for the
best interests of the State requires that
this depleting system be stopped at once

money expended upon it—a large portion
01 which is fairly chargeable to repair ac
count, because devoted to a renewal of
material exhausted in doing ordinary bust

vastly the loser by the management.—
How long it shall so continue, rests first,
with the present representatives of the

secondly, with the people themselves.
A rem arkable fact in this connexion

ble sitowlit that from 81,898,811 42 in
1852, the grass revenue has risen to 82.-
009,488 44 in 1858. Yet while this has
been the case on the entire. Public Im

Main Line has been decreasing. In
1852, it was $1,502,417 43; in 1863
81,485 813 23; in 1854, 81,219,919 01 •
in 1855, 81,144,224 33 ; and in, 1858,
81,244.071 88. There is little probabil

the canal is diminished with the gradual
decay of its locks, and the filling of its

sums have been squandered, carries little

an orphan, of German descent, named
Christiana Deander, while playing upon
the river bank, near the Canal Bridge at

Sr. PALL, January I, 111.51.
PROST.SMOR 0. J. Wimp—
,
DEAIt Unsolicited, I send youtpieeltr
tificate. Alter being nearly bald for a long
time, and having tried all 'the restoratives ex
tant, and bating no faith in any, I was hithiced,
ion hearing.of yodel to give it a trial. 'I placed ,
myself in the bands of a barber, and had , my ,
bead rubbed witha goal stiff brush, and the
Restorative then applied and well rubbed In c .
till the scalp was 11410 W. This I repeated #v
cry. morning, and in three weeks the 'young
hair appeared and grew rapidly from August
last till the present: time, and is now' think
black and strong—soft and pleasant to the
touch; whereas, before, it was harsh and wiry,.
what little there was of it, and that little wits
disappearing very rapidly, I still use,.,your
restorative about twice a Week, and Soon shall
have a good and perfect crop of hair:
I had read of these things—and who has not I
but have not seen hitherto any case where
any person's hair was reallybenefited by any'
of the hair tonic, etc., of the day; and it really
gives me pleasure to record the result of .my
experience. I have recommended your prep.,
aration to others, uud it already has a large
and mineral sale throughout the Territory.—
The people here know•its effects, and Lai,
Confidence in it., The sup supply you sent us, as
wholesale agents for the Territory, is nearly
exhausted, and daily inquiries are made of It.
You deserve eredit for your discovery ; and I
for one, return you my thanks for the benefit,
it has done me, for I certainly had despaired
loug ago 'delver effecting any such result,
' Yours, hastily,

Dtreit SIR: Having become prematurely
quite gray, I was induced, some Aix • weeks
since, to make a trial of your Reitorative. I
have used less than two bottles, but the
gray• hairs have all disappeared and although
my hair has not fully attained its original ail.
or, yet the process of change is gradually' go.
jug on, and lam in great hopes that in a.
short time my bait will be as dark as formerly.
I haye also been leech gratified at the bealb.hr ,
moisture and vigor of the hair, which' bereft
was harsh and (Fry : and ii Ea. ceased to`come
