At a meeting of .the Carlislo Bar, held in
the'Court Honse, at o'clock, A. 11.,
Wednes'day;the 4th Mat.; it was organized
by calling the Hon. F.IATTS, late Pre ; „.
sident Judge of this district, (in,the absente
—of Judge-Gnmum,-who..svas:holding _Coma,
in Juniata aounty,) ,to the Chair, and ap
pointing LmttrEt. TODD,' Esq.,-Secretary.—
The Chairman stated the object of the meet-
ing, as•follows
• We have assembled to condole with each
other upon the decease of one, who, for the
past fifty years hat been the father and tench
'or of our profession; and Who as a Judge, in
• point of mind and legal learning, has occu
pied the very highest pia& in our - esteem,
and as a man and a friend the warmest place
our affection. Sixty-seven volumes of re
ports, spreading- over a period of six and
thirty yearsirecord the sentence of the law,
so beautifully, concisely and-aptly expres
•se'd by this great Judge, whose honked iife
and judicial service has just yielded to the
-- Stroke - of time: - , •
jolm • Bannister Gibson was a native of
Cumberland county, born in Sherman's Val
ley,- inNovember, 1780; be was a graduate
of Dickinson College ; studied the Law with
. the Hon. Thomas Duncan and was admitted
to the Bar in the year 1804. . The great pow
or of intellect which Characterized him thro
life at the early ago of thirty-two years call
ed him to preside over the Courts of a Nor
thern District of our State, and in June,
1816 to the Supreme Court es the associate
of Tilghrrian - and - Yeates; in this capacity ho
served until the death of Mr. Tilghman,
when in Juno, 1827, lie was appointed Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia. Upon the amendment of the Constitu
tion in 1839, which limited the tenure of of
fice to fifteen years, he was again appointed
Chief Justice ; and upon the alteration of the
Constitution in 1851, which made the office
elective, ho was chosen by the people.
Nothing short of a laborious study of our
profession will enable us fully to appreciate
those firm foundations and pillars of the
Law, and especially those just principles of
equity, which have been so beautifully de
-, veloped and aptly mouldetnritry rules of
right, by his great mind. We cannot but
regret the loss of such-a teacherA we cannot
but lenient that we have been deprived of
such a friend.
Whereupon, Hugh Gaullagher, Esq., of
fered the following resolutions and made the
following remarks :
Resolved, That as members of the legal
profession, and as friends and acquaintances
we deeply deplore-the death, of the Honor
able John Bannister Gibson, late Chief Jus-
tiee of this Commonwealth—ono of the most
- distinguished,- learned and upright Judges of
this or any other coinitry.
Resolved, That In his death this Common
-IVMM' has sustained a great loss—the Bench
ono of its brightest ornaments—and Law it-
Self, ono of its most illustrious sages.
Resolved, Thill as members of the Bar;
and citizens of the 'same town with the late
Chief Justice, we deeply sypathize with the
afflicted family of the distinguished deceased
- in the great loss they have sustained in his
death. "
Resolved, That three members of the Bar,
together with the officers of the meeting be
a Committee to communicate these proceed
ings to the fluidly of the late Judge Gibson.
Mr. Chairman offering these resolu
tions, I will remark that itis hardlyheees
snry for one member of the Bar to tell his
' brefhern that the late Chief Justice was an
eminent Judge, a distinguished Jurist, and
a learned lawyer. llis judicial life and ca-'
reer aro well known to our profession. It
has been long, useful; distinguished, honor
able and upright. The numerous opinions
written and delivered by him on the Bench
and published in our many volumes of
reports, constitute his highest culogium and
rank him among the most eminent Judges
and Jurists ofEngland and America. These
opinions show a profound knowledge of our
boasted-common-law as it exists and is ad
ministered in England and this country un
der the different circumstances of our polit
ical institutions, legislation and polity.—
They also show a profound knowledge of
equity principles and administration. We
are told by Lord Coke that law is the per
fection of reason, and we may truly say in
the language of our great master that these
opinions of our late Chief-Justice are the
perfection of reason, and products of a pow
erful and discriminating intellect, schooled
and trained by 4‘ long study, often confer
ence, long experience and continual obser
vation." It has often bben remarked by
members of our profession that the late Chief
Justice would have made an eminent Chan
cellor. This is trud and although we have
no-court of chancery he administered equity
principles under common-law forms wher
ever he could when the justice .of the
case required it. It is but justice to say of
him that in equity science he was as learned
and profound as the llarwicks, the Turlows,
the Eldons, the Marshall's, the Washingtons,
and Kents. A great Judge is one of the
brightest and most valuabld jewels' of a free
and civilized country. Most civilized coun
tries can boast of renowned statesmen and
warriors, but the highest boast of civilization
Is an enlightened Judiciary—eminent and
upright Judges who administer the law With
intelligence and learning,,and in honesty arid
purity. It is an enlightened and well ad
ministered public justice that holds the com
munity, together. England and this country
stand pre-eminent in this particular, and
amongst the renowned sages of both coun
tries of the common-law and equity systems
common to both, Chief Justice Gibson is
fully entitled to take his stand and hereafter
to be called one of the fathers of the law.
---- The resolutions were seconded by William
IL Biddle, Esq., 'who said, that the pre-em
inence. of the lasneided deceased as a Jurist,
deeply versed in the rules of the common
law, and grasping 'in his master mind the
principles of equity, had been so eloquent
ly remarked on by the mover of the resolu
tions as to resider it unnecessary for him to
dwell on that topic: As was truly said by
the gentleman, Chief Justice Gibson is
justly entitled to a place among the renown
ed Jurists or England and this country, and
• to be called hereafter one of the fathers of
g , the law."
With the public in general,"we as lawyers
mourn his loss as that of a great and good
Judge who contributed so largely and bone
ficially to build up the admirable combina
tion of common-law and equity that forms
-.- the basis of our Pennsylvania jurisprudence ;
as individuals we lament our bereavement in
rr3' the departhre from our midst of a true, and
' reliable • friend. To all ho was kind and
`courteous. Ilia affable manners and brilliant
, . conversational powers won him the respect
:andadmiration of even casual acquaintances;
' • "Whilst his gencroui nature and warm and
'fectionate disposition secured him the es
' teem and love of his friends. It can be
• truly said of him those ,}olio know hinabeat
" love him niost. Carlisle will grieve that the
• last of her distinguished sons that have
graced the bench of the Supreme Court has
• been taken from us. It is a remarkable fact
' 'and one of which her. inhabitants may well
fell proud, that our town with its compare,
: tiVely small population has furnished no less
- than-four of the Judges of, that Court.—,
~First: the Honorable Hugh H. Breckenridge,
who at his death was succeeded, next by the
Honorable John B. Gibson, then, by the
Honorable Thomas Duncan, and lastly by
the Honorable John Kennedy. Tor a pori
. ed of more than ton years, during which the
SuPreme Bench of Pennsylvania consisted
of but three members, two of thorn; Justices
Gibson and Duncan were distinguished citi
zens of this town. And after the number
was enlarged to five, and Judge Duncan had
• filed; - Carlisle could still point with pride to
the ChlefJustice and Judge Kennedy. -But
alas; the last and as Chief Justice the moat
prontinent 'of. these distinguished men, has
,been put of in the full vigor of his intellect,
, and we as citizens, of Pennsylvania; as fol
, loWtownimen, as members of the .Bar, and
•as warm personal friends of 'the illustrious
deceased, may Well mourn - Ilia loss: •

4.t . that time the Court condisted'of nigh=
man, Yeates and Gibson. The .hext year
in 1817,justice Yentas died and Thomas
Duncan, of this, place .was selected to till
.the. vacancy.
The Court consisted of Tilghman, Gib
son and Duncan from 1817, till 1829, When
an act of Legislature WAS passed, the Bth
• of April; of that year, declaring that thereaf
ter the Supreme Court shall consist•of five
judges, instead of three; and Melton C.
Rodgers and Charles Huston were appoint
ed the two additional judges.
ffi , On the demise of Judge Tilghman; Judge
', Gibson was commissioned, the 18th of May,
1827, as Chief Justice of the State. John
'Tod was.appointed justice in the
place of
Gibson.
The late' Chief Justice was not by
' accident or "chance, but Was a great man
among great men, a greatjudge among great
judges. To know and feel this we have
merely to look at his cotemporaries and as
' sociates. on the bench. lle has thus far
been with Tilghtnan,,Yeates; Duncan, Tod,
Rodgers;-and Huston.—primus. inter kgro.
In Noventber,,lB27, Thomas Duncan died
and Frederick Smith, of Reading was an
,
pointed place- ,
John Rees was appointed 18th . of April,
1830, in place of John Tod, deceased. •
• John Kennedy was appointed 29th of No
vember, 1830, in place. of Frederick Smith,
deceased.
Thomas Sergeant was appointed Februa
ry 23d, 1884, in place of John Ross, de
ceased, and thus the bench consisting of
Gibson, Rogers, lifffron - Konn - edyand
Sergeant continued until 1845, a period-of
eleven years without change.
In the latter year the term of Charles
Ruston expired under the Constitution of
1837-8, and Thomas Burnside was chosen to
° fill the vacancy.
Richard Coulter was appointed by Gol'-
ernor Shunk, the - 16th of September, 1840,
in the place of John Kennedy, deceased,
and Thomas Bell was appointed Novem
ber 18th,1846, in place of Thomas Sergeant,
,resigne. ,
George Chambers was appointed by Gov
ernor Johnston, 10th of April, 1851, in
in place of Thomas Burnside deceased.•
Thus the Court was. constituted at the re
cent, change of the constitution of the State
by which the judges were to be elected by
the people.
Gibson and Coulter alone of the old
• bench were retained, both now gone—passed
from earthly, tribunals, where judges are
changable and mortal, into that Inner Tem
ple, and before that Judgment Seat where
sits The One' Judge of all the earth, un :
changable, infallible, iimnoital.
The officiarassociates of the person whose
death we now mourn have been Worthy of
hit - fame; Men* of solid . growth; - and have
done him ample justice.
At one time I heard the present Chief_
- say; (and he' judged by the intuitive
knowledge of a kindred spirit) that he was
utterly astonished at the fteshncss and vig
our of " the old chief" in consultation—that
his mind appeared imbued with all the elas
ticity of youth as well as the wisdom of age,
and grasped the whole range of legal sci
ence.
At another and more recent period, when
he had known him longer and better, and as
his admiration increased, he remarked tint
he considered Gibson - the • greatest-mind
he had .ever mettlutt notwithstanding his
age,,his vis ivertice of body which his mind
had to oppose and overcome, and which
constantly dragged him down, his intellect
ual powers were most brilliant and com
manding.
' Chancellor Kent ranked him among the
first jurists of this age, and, it may, be said
of him as he truthfully and beautifully said
of his late lamented colleague , Justice Ken
nedy, that ~, he clung to the common law
as a child to its nurse r " His opinions are
as simple and elegant in their style as they
are' learned and profound. His powprs of
analysis and condensation were reinhrka
ble and peculiar to himself.
But this great man has died. Ho owed a
debt to_nature_and ithas been paid. In this
also he is superior to all of us. His monu
ment consists in the legal reports of the
State, commencing with 2 Sergeant and
Hawk: and terminating with 7th Harris, not
yet published. His judical labors and legal
opinions have done more to mould thejuris
prudence of the State, than the labors of
any other man, not even excepting those of
Tilighman. He commenced the
column of his judicial fame in 1816, and ho
has been erecting it ever since, for the pe
riod of thirty-seven long. years, and new
that the cap-stone has been placed, the
builder has departed, but the column will
remain forever.
Lemuel Todd, Esq., said:—Mr. Chairman:
Never having enjoyed an intimate acquaint
ance with the late Judge Gibson, I cannot
speak of his qualities as a friend, a husband
or parent. Ills duty was almost performed,
and the measure of his life almost full, he
fore I entered the profession. Ile is known
to nic only as a Judge who has impressed
upon our Jurisprudence the character of his
own gigantic intellect, and done more du
ring his long—and distinguished career, to,
give form, consistency and strength, to our
peculiar system, than any other man living
or dead. ' His labors as exhibited in the Re
ports, of our ,Supreme Court, for the last
thirty bidd years, evidence, not only, a mind
of flue highest intellectual reach, grasping
with ease the most comprehensive and diffi
cult questions, and evolving thereout judg
ments distinguished alike for their solid
truth find logical accuracy, but also an ele
vated morality that commands our homage,
and is in perfect harmony with Christian
ethics; thus-illustrating how beautifully and
beneficially they may be apiflied to the prac
tical business of life.
But, perhaps, we may claim a closer rela
tion with the deceased. Ile was born in our
own county—was intellectually nurtured and
trained beneath the -fostering hand of the
same beloved Alma Illeiler, whose kindly.
teachings guided the - happy footsteps of our
young manhood in the way of wisdom and
uSefulness. Here in. our own County Court,
he first assayed the- arduous duties of the
profession, whiclj has carried him to its
proudest eminence : and here, in our own
beautiful and peaceful town, he held add
discharged the'relation of husband and pa
rent, and reared up a fa - roily, some of Whom,
more than one of us, can pleasantly associate
with our boyish sports and pleaSures. It is
therefore, peculiarly becoming • in us to
mourn the departure of ono so long connec
ted with our profession,'and who has shed,
'bistro on its name by devoting to - its devel
opment and perfection, the untiring energies
of a truly brilliant, acute and commanding
mind. It is fitting, that we the actors in the
same forum where ho once moved, should
manifest a proper appreciation of his great
services, and give public utterance .to 2 the
sentiments of profound regret•that fill our
hearts at the calamity which his decease has
bro'tupon the public: and it is right, that we
who are connected with him by associations
heademic;. professional, .and municipal,
should lament. the death of ormovhose learn°
reflects honor upon each ono of these rela,-.
Hone; and that we unite in humane
and neighborly courtosY' in rendering duo
respect to the memory of the deceased. I
therefore cordially approve of the sentiments
contained, in the resolutions offered.
John B. Parker; Esquire, said :—Mr.
Chairman : That common inheritance which
all nnii'bliare in the fruits and treasures 81' a
grant mind is largely enhanced to ihose
whose business and property, whose. rights
and relations social or political have been
the immediate object of its labors. Beyond
this, sir, the , lustre . which one eminent for

DEATH Or JUDGE GIBSON
We copy front the Philadelphia liullelin, of
Wednesday last, the following proceedings in I
relation to the death of Judge GlusoN
NISI Pains—Jucto Lowis 7 -The Court met
yesterday for the transaction of business.— I,
As soon as the Judge had taken his seat, - C.
rENROSe arose, and announced the decease of
Judge Gibson. lie spoke substantially as fol.
lows :
May it please your -Honor—l rise_to_nn:
nounce n melancholy 'but notunexpected event.
JudgeGibion, so long a 'member of this. Court,
after a protracted-illness, died. thin.morning.
at 2 o'cicck, in this City. The announcement
of his dtoel,l3o I em well aware will be receiv
ed by every citizen of the CoMmonwealth, with
due sympathy and profound respect. It must
recall the recollection of the long life of de-.
vetion to the public interest in the high office
which ho held and which has thus terminated.
-No citizen has been more distinduished in
this respect, and his brethren of-the' bench
and bar, well know how true it is' that none
has more admired the exalted station, none
haamore impressed upon our system of juris
prudence the mnrks of prnfound learning and
distinguished ability, as n jurist end a judge,
-end for so long n period (mile has done. As
the resources of legal ,knowledge, of those
principles of jurisprudence which have been
left, and given to us, to enlighten and guide
in the adminis•ration of justice, are consulted
in the records of this Court, in the reports of
its decisions, in which he poured out in such
rich ant nd nee the treasures of his great
mind, It will be acknowledged that he has left
here a monument worthy of the highest ambi
tion, which will endure in all time.
Judge Gibson was. elevnted.to-tho - bench of
the Supreme 'Court of this State on the 27th
of June, 1816, and on the death of. Chief Jus
tice Tilghman, he was advanced to the office
of Chief Justice on the 18th of May,'lB27.=
Anti when under the new constitution of the
State, the choice of the - Judges was confer
red upon the people, they attested how well
they eppreciated his services sit the discharge
•of his high functions, by electing -him to hll
one of the seats on this bench, which, under
the constitution, was vacated. In that elec
Lion the confidence of his fellow citizens was
attested. They placed him on the bench ; it
was ell they could do. The position of Chief
Justice, it woe not in their power to confer.
This office, untie , the Constitution, was, as
we all know, determtned by lot, and thatßot,
although it conferred upon him alonger term
of office, gave him, for a time, an inferior po
sition. A position, which, ,doubtless, had it
depended on the will of the people, or the de
sire of his MAC associates en the bench, would
not leave been assigned to him. They would
have preferred that his long life should have
been closed in the chief place which he h-td
so eminently illustrated end adorned. But
his great ability and his velunitle services
acre preserved to the people in the high and
honorelde judicial station now vacated by his
death. So that hie judiciellshors here known
no interruption front the time of his Oren•
lion to the bench. in 1816, until they 'have
been ended by His divine decree, by whom
all things are ordered, and
_who order+ nil
things aright. Fur the long term of thirtY•
seven years tl 4 gnelebors have been; continued.
They are note ended, and his place on this
bench shall know him no more forever.
Full of years and full' of honors, after a long
life of usefulness, like a Ithock of corn fully
ripe, he has been gathered to his fathers. =
To his immediate friends there is much of con
solatio, in the manner of his death llis
ill
ness.wos protracted, but it was ;attended by
tittle bodily suffering. Ilia strength grade
ally ,passed away, end surrounded by his sor
rowing family, his spirit calmly end quietly
departed.
in common ,with our whole community,
knew him ns a gi4: k t Judge; but it wog my
pri•ilege,in a restdenee of many years in the
same town; to be acquainted with him, in the
endenriug relations of husband end father.—
I knee, him and I knew •every member of- his
interesting family. :Here he shone with not

tender or effectionnte_linglamd, nevCr`a mars
testier nod affectionate lather. There was
in these relations a daily beauty in his life,
which impressed all who knew him and knew
them.
The high office which be held may lie filled,
nnd.well filled. Learning anti ability may be
found to grace the station. But in that fami
ly n light hos ' gone out which never can be

The topic whieh,oetinsionsthese remarks

times busy in our 'midst. Burof Into ho has
chosen Shining marks. Men of exalted BM :
lion, of public anti private worth, have in
rapid ettecession been removed from places of
power and trust. The nation lies been called
repeatedly to mourn, nod we have never been
more emphatically admonished of the frail
tenure by which all earthly bettors are held.
Let these lessons sink into our hearts, teach

THE GARDINER CASE
This is one of the most remarkable cases in
the history of our Government. It is now un
dergoing an investigation in one of the courts
at Washington. Either Doctor Gardiner is
the most ingenious, plausible. 'deliberate of
contrivers, or he is a greatly injured' man.—
The , Philadelphia Inquirer says: "We recent
ly conversed with a gentleman who has paid
much attention to the sul j, ct has examined
all the papers, and he inclines to the opinion
that the 'latter is the case. Pr. Gardiner, it
will to remembered, submittal a claim to the
Mexican Commission, that was soiree years ago
authorised to sit at Washington, and after II
careful investigation of the fact, that Commis
sion, consisting of some of the ablest men in
the land, decided that his claim wmijust, and
authorised the payment in his hand era large
sum of money—several hundred thousand dol
lars. The money was promptly paid by the
Treasury Department, and Dr. G., after in
vesting the greater portion of it, Set out on a
trip to Europe. Ile had not been gone long,
before an allegation was circulated, to the ef
fect that the claim was fe fraudulent one, and
that the mines described in the papers had no
existence whatever.
Dr. G's properly was attached by the Unit
ed Slates authorities, and information of the
fact was promptly forwarded to him by some
of his friends. Instead of abrndoning the
ground as n guilty man, he immediately step
ped'on board n steamer, returned to this coun
try and challenged investigation. The trial
has been in progress at Wnshington for some
weeks and• testimony of t o le most contradietT'..
ry nature hos been submitted. One . phrty, the
friends of Dr. Gardiner, sustained the features
of his claim in every lending particular, prove
that the mines were in existence as described,
that the Doctor was engaged i•t working then.
and that he experienced ties looses he alleges
Other witnesses strum that they went in
-pur
suit of the mines; at the instance of the limi
ted States . Government, but searched for them
in vain: Isleverthelest, as !dimly ,bsersed,
the evidence, we are told, is very strong in . fa
vor of the claimant, and he is likely to4indi
cate his position, and prove that injustice has
been done to him This, at least,•is the„opin
ion of one who has paid great attention to the
subject, and who has read all the testimony
with the utmost care.

- SACRIFICE OF HUMAN Lire —Within the last
few days, besides several minor disasters Of
the same class, says the Journal of COI7IIIICITC,
we have recorded the loss of 125 lives by the

on the Central tindßouthern (Mich ) Railroad,
and 25 by the burning of the-Ocean Wave, on

of persons maimed or disfigured for life, and
finally the wholesale catastrophe at Norwalk.

TIGlq,4ll3Lk RAIL ROAD (ACCIDENT.
Over:Vitty Lives Lost.:'
A frightful dianster occurred on the Now
York nnd New Haven rail road, on Friday: •
last, bY : which over fifty diyec were hist. - The':
accident took place near Norwalk, Co s unecticilt,
aboid 49 miles from' New' York, whore .the,
rails. cross a river. .The.train-was-running at — l l
high speed, and the draw bridge had been left
open by accident or enrelesiness, and the lo
comotive ond bliggege oar, with three panne
ger cars,
_wore precipitated into the river, •
presentiag a'frighqul catastrophe, there being
upwards of one hundred passengers, nice,
'women, and children, Cillier involved in the -
ruins or sunk beneath tire water in the cars.
The locomotive, bliggage car, and two passeil
ger cat's plunged into the river fifteen feet
below the surface. • Every 'person in the two
119 , t cars were either killed or seriously in
jured. At 9 o'clock in the evening forty4line
bodies had been recovered. The blame is laid
on the engineer,qhc bridge tender having :4'13-
played the usual signals, which - were not
heeded by the engineer. The engineer and -
fireman were arrested.
The New York papers are filled with the de
tails of the frightful disaster at Norwalk, Con.
necticut, Friday last. It appears the train,
which left New York at S o'clare,"A. M., con
sisted of two baggage cars, and three first
class passenger cars. The baggage cars pre.
ceded the passenger tors, and in the rearmost
baggage car was the smoking apartment.—
The number of passengers in the train was
about a 7 near as oan'be aseertAined. The
Courier rind Enquirer says :
The train proceeded as usual, until it react--
NI Norwalk, 45 miles distant, at half past 10
o'clock. Half a mile cast of the NOrwulk.sta
lion is is bridge across the creole, and over the
channel there is n draw in the bridge sixty
feet in width. The rules of the road require
that the speed of the train -should be checked_
at the Nor walk station, Mid the train held well
in hand
. until the engineer obtain sight of a
signal—a red ball upon a polo sane thirty
feet high; which is visible nearly half a dine
from the bridge. This signal is only display.
ed when the draw is Closed and the trackelear.
Both these precautions were neglected upon •
this occasion ; the speed was not slacked at
the station ; the signal for safety, had been
withdrawn full ten _minutes_ before- the train. --
approached, but heedless of the Warning the
engineer dashed on at n rate of nearly thirty
miles an hour until hp reached the open draw,
_when. such was the -momentum -that- the -en-- -
gine sprang across the chasm of sixty feet, .
dashing against the abutment on the-oppo
site side - but-little below - fire level of the - lino -
of the rails. The draw had been opened to
perrkit the steamboat Pacific, from -Norwalk
for New York, to pass through, and she had
barely missed as the triin dashed in. The en' •
gine was followed by the tender, which rested -
upon it, the first baggage car went-partly up
on the tender, and partly alongside ;,the
the second car, containing tire smoking apart
merit, went alongside the first , Iniggngc par,
and , two of the first class cars were dashed
among the wreck of-those aehich preceded
them, while the bottom of the last car was
broken in two cross-wise, the forward part
heingdragged into the submerged ruins, leav
ing one half the bottom and the entire sides
and roof erpon the-track. The water in the
channel over which the draw is placed is from
ten to twelve feenlecp in high writer.
The frightful Scene tint ensued may be con
ceived, but ne thee those who witnessed the,
occurrence, nor those who escaped with their
lives can give any adequate description. The
cars were so broken that those who had not
sustnired any injury from the collision, in.
Fatly strove to escape through the windows
and brolcen roofs,, and it is wonderful. that
under the cirCUmstances so many succeeded,
in their efforts. It is supposed all in the last
car escaped--those who were dragged forward
on the broken floor being thrown on top of the
wrecic, escaping with a few bruises. Those
who were in the two cars preceding the last,
were all immersed in the water, but as for as
con be ascertained, most of them were rescued.
The moment the occident occurred, there
were strong willing hands which maned small
boats fortunately lying near, and by their ef
forts the rescue of the saved was effected.—
Many of those in these cars sustained coitus
ions of greater or less severity. •But few of
those in he:mei:lag car escaped, and it is the
opinion of Dr. McLean, of Norwalk, who was
in attendance, that most of those who lost their
lives were seriously injured by .the crushing of
the ear.
The semis at the railroad, station house in
Norwalk, in the afternoon, was appalling.—,
In one small apartment were twenty-eight
.elinstly corpses, rigid in death, and ifNue:h
er seventeen—thickly covering the floor. A
mong them numerous surviving friends were
eagerly scrutinizing each countenance, with
• mingled hope and four, searching for the lost
As one after another was identified, the scene
was,often affecting. Money, you.ll
and chi age were all represented among the
dead. The body of a beautiful female child,
seeming to be almosninitualed with life, elic
ited exclamations from many. Almost all

instances injuries of this kind were snf le i Cllt

the bodies store divested of their clothing, put
in nest coffins of black walnut, and forwarded

Dickinson Collogo.--Small Pox
Two 'cases of Small ,pox, having occurred,
last Week artiong the students, the Faculty of
Dickinson College concfuded on Monday morn
lag last upon a suspension of the College du-
ties until the first of June. A majority 'cf
the students have accordingly left town 'and
returned :to their homes. In pursuing this
'course the Faculty we think have acted with
entarnebdrible prudence and With_ a proper re

the small poi, to keep the stlidents together

Upon the' , brenking out of epidemic or in

a common practice for the local press to keep'
silent, with -n view, of preventing panto - tit

strangers. We have always doubted the wis
dom. Of this course: It is infinitely better,
both for effect nt home end abroad to have
the whole truth strictly. told. We learn that
the disease is supposed to have been brought
here by a student from Frederick, Md., upon
his return to College after the'recent Spring
vacation. lle was attended by a physician
and-recovered from the attack. The disease
was o immunicated by him to two other stu
dents, one of whom was his room-mate and
the oilier a frequent visitor to his room.—
These two are now lying ill, but as we are
glad to learn, with every prospect of,recovery;
both having passed the crisis of the disease.
It is an iniportant fact. to remember, iu con
nection mills these two cases, that neither of
them.had ever been vaccinated. We also under
stand that there are fiz-e other cases cf vario
laid, neither of which are in a dangerous sit
'cation. This is the whole number of cases of
either disease which have come to our knowl
edge. When the. disease became known,
measures were taken for the vaccination of the
students, atcd Since their dispersion it is -hoped
there will be no further spread of the disease.
There have been so deaths, and 9 no•new cases
of sickness have oceurred sine 2 those above
mentioned. There are no cases at all among
our resident populaticii, and no ground for

however, for every individual to be sure that

be apprehended.
