SURPLUS CAPITAL AFLOAT.
Capital is agalii accumulating in hu
mor's° sums in the great cities of the
northers seaboard, despite all the ox
traordinary growth of cities, States,
- manufacturok, mining, agriculture,.aom
mercerrailroads and finance at the - west.
Failures of a few small fiscal institutions
and scattering business firms 'do not
seem to effect the financial atmosphere.
Investments have become productii4 on
a scale never - before known in America,
so that the snrplusceking investment
increases as regularly as dividend-day
comeA round, and reinvestments give
ompiolment 'to brokers and keep the
market always filledNl)th enterprises
seeking aid. The proffts of railways,
banking, manufactures, insurance, com
merce, building, etc., exceed in reliable
amount those of former prosperous eras.
We hear and read a great deal of the
increased volume and activity of foreign
capital in our midst, and it seems to be
true that purchases on foreign account
are quite large, so that the main body
of our bolded debt seems to be pnesing
out'of our hands, But this foreign
capital does not come into the market
in'tbe shape of cash seeking investment.
Lt is mostly the reinvestment of accrued
prcilits, or purchases of bonds to be used
hi payment of dividends or mercantile
balauceS, or the result, of recent foreign
i-gntaires iu merchandise in our markets,
and expresses in a prat tical shape the
unprofitable - :character of our foreign
trade for ourselves. But the• pUrehases
on foreign account, though always at
tracting much attention, are really
small, compared with the steady demand
from home investors. •
W,hile a few leading - corporations
market their bonds abroad, for peculiar
reasons - if their own, the great mass of
American securities depend upon the
home markets, especially,the new under
takings, for which the capital is almost
invariably obtained at home in the first
place,The bonds only going abroad Fong
afterward when the companies have ,
become firmly established and prosper
on?4, and then_only in the course of in_
vestment mentioned above. • Tiiis is one
of the most striking peculiarities of the
present era The great_ cities of the
seaboard, being Mo longer, able to cum=
Jnapd the markets for merchandise. in
the distant west, on accomit of the rapid
growth of leading ivest,‘rn cities, have
passed into the new vocation of the
bankers of the whole Republic, and in
this ,line their profits Has l! become far
more reliable than eve were those of
merchandising.
We may imt be able to hell entice,
sugar, tea, dry goods and hardware to
the west in such quantities as we used
to, but we can always sell money.
Moreover the profits of merchandising
are precarious and uncertain, while
bonded investments are liable to few
contingencies. The west is always bor
rowing front the east, and the debt due
the seaborcl increases at such a late that
our regular supplies seeking investment
often exceed the reliable openings. This
has been the e:Lse, With occasionall inter
vals, ever since the national government
began to reduce its debt, and will suffi
ciently account fir the ,normous sums
that have gone into railways, illy im
provements, tte. - "No doubt the Peauc
tion of debt' m`nceeds about tie fast as
would be safe for the Republic, for were
the whole amount Areleased, the invest
ments in railways anti other works
should be on such a scale as to upset the
judgments of the people and confuse
financiers and business men.
In view of the present plethora of mu-,
ney, one of the conservative financial 'or
gans are posed to raise the alarm and
warn people against inflation and the
multiplicity of 11111 V Objects, But
we thigh this Deedless. The country
has, by this time, got accustomed to in- ;
vcstments s and to the • management of
numerous public enterprises, and it un
derstands matters, on the whole about
as well as some of the writers and finan
ciers who undertake to instruct it.
There is no teaching like the practical
handling of money and investments to
induce caution and investigation: More
over, these incessant alarms defeat them
selves. - The cry of " Wolf!" comes. no
regularly that people now disreg:ird it,
and. set it down to the credit of mere
croaking, which.is a rather unfortunate
state of affairs, since it puts it out of
the power of the press to exercise any
wholesome restraint in case of actual
need,
For the information of those who iu
some degree consult our judgment, we
must say that the prospect ahead seems
. safe and good, and there is no room for
alarm. Money is plenty because our in
vestments are far beyond what they
were, and our regular profits greater.
It. not thflution—it is augmented
wealth. Our manufactures are on a
prodigiouu scale ; our railways' - exceed,
anything, we could ever have _dreamed
of ; and so we might go over the whole
Est-of investments. Ott advice to oulr
friends is, to -vary their investments as
much: as possible. Real &State, :bank
stock, farm lands,• manufaatoj.es, rail
ways, insurance scrip, aro all worthy a
Ifbalre , -of attention. A commercial re-:
wulsion may break business houses, but
these Offer solid and substantial values.,
There is no sense in hoarding money at
every slight alarm, or getting frightened
because capital is superabundant, by
supposing it to be inflation.—North

THE 414711G11 VA.tLEYACCIDENP
' Another railroad catastrophe has to be
' added to. the great number already,
ehronided during the lace Severe Welther.
But while many already reported have
been confined to broken bones, the de
struction of rolling stock, - of -tracks and
paraphernalia in general—with now and
again an exploded ; locomotive and the
burning of trains of cars—the occurrence
calling for theprasent article is attended
with considerable loss of life, and inju
ries' to many persons, front which,
doubtless, several will, never reenter. ,
At a quarter to eight on Thursday
imorning a train, known as the Buffalo
express, left - Pittston,_Pa.,_the_lestina,
tion of most of the passengers being
Philadelphia. The train was composed
of an engine, a baggage van, smoking
car, a, Central Railroad and a Philadel
phia car. Nothing unusual occurred
during the early part Of the journey.
The morning was exceedingly bright
and clear, and the country had a splen
did appearance, the land along the route
for the most part boitig clothed in a win
ter mantle of sparkling, crisply frozen I
snow. Just previous to thc,start from
Pittston the driver 'of the ' engine re
marked that they-would have to keep an
eye out for the cracked rails arising.from
the ..contractions caused by the severe
frosts of the past week. The road over
which the train was to pass is known as
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and ebn
neets with most of the Pennsylvania
roads—indirectly with Harrisburg. Af
ter making several stoppages the train
was due at Rockport at about nineteen
minutes-do ten o'clock, but as matters
subsequently proved many of the un
fortunate passengers were destined never
to reach that place alive.
When about mid-way between. Mud
Run and Rockport, and sixty-four miles
front Easton, at forty minutes past nine
o'clock, the engine math; a sudden: leap,
the fore wheels.-flew round, causing a
horrible whirl and fhe driver and fire
man were so severely shaken 'tl i . theyy
could scarcely htild or' to enab ,„ lielien,t
to stop the locomotive. The levers were
reversed and tile steam shut oil' as speed
ily as possible, and the terror-stricken
men were at once convinced that a fear
ful accident had occurred, that the terrific
leap of their great foaming iron horse
had saved them from the 'horrible fate
allotted to many being drawn by it.
Leaning over the side of the engine a
fearful chasm forty feet deep met the
driver's eye, the only support, between
the road and Lehigh river being a lined
flint embankment, almost- perpendicular
in construction. The steep declivity and
the running waters were nothing to him,
however, lts he nil ridden triumphantly
over both many scores of tittles, and
would scat cely have engendered a thrill
of terror in his breast this time put for
tIM fact that he saw the half of the train
leap front the track, and in au Instant
plunge as .it were headlong down the
flinty wall toward the river below.
lie saw tho,,centrat car, which cub
tained most of the passengers, With the
end of the broken coupling swinging in
front of it, like a I unaway horse with the
end of a bridle about his neck ; lie saw
the earth fly up in a thousand directions
beneath its ponderous 'weight ; a low,
rumbling sound caught his ear, and the
carriage, with its live freight, went.
tumbling and crashing over the '. 11101111-
tain," as the declivity is called. The
ne,,Kt instant ho heard the most appalling
shrieks from_thcAnside or the car, - and
heads and arms were thrust out, the w ILl
dews, anti every tongue 81301110 d tc, 'e
sending forth accents of anguish awl
dismay. Women and orm :tad seats,
cushions and debris were soon a hortible
' heap ; but, to add to the horrors of the
situation, before any assistance could b.
rendered smoke and flame were seen
emerging from one part of the smashed
up vehicle, and it was feared that thus,'
who were not killed or injured by the
Gall and the crushing of the timbers.
would be burned to death, as the stove
had set tire to the car.
The Philadelphia car followed the
central car, but it did not fall so far over
as to rest on the frozen river, the passen
gers, however, ' being fearfully bruised
and wounded, and exposed tot,he crone
fearful catastrophe of being consumed
by the lire, which had taken hold of 'the
car from the stove, the flames issuing
forth as in the other -car, and creating a
perfect panic among those who were nut
injured, for the moment.
The first thing to be done was-to rush
to the assistance of those in the central
car. The engiimer, fireman, a - conductor
and tWo or three front - the srhoking car
clambered down the embankment, and,
amid the screams of the women, the
groans of the dying, and yells of those
. SVIIO were lying lrmeath the debris in
great agony, barely out of the jaws of
death—these men sot to work, and, ill
aboutlltteen minutes, wore able to sum
up the rbsult of this Nip : ailing aCeident.
The first body. drawn out front the fore
part, of the car was a colored gentleman,
whose features were almost destroyed,
the face and forehead-being crushed up,
and who was dressed in a black coat; anil
striped pants. Though warm he was
quite dead. The fee 4 of a colored wo
man were next seen extending from be-
Death a part of the car that was still
burning. In a few seabeds the .broken
charred timber was removed and UN
dead body of a full-grown person was
exposed. Near this body was that of
another colored female, daughter-oft the
first mentioned, slightly built and about
thifieen years of age. It was observed
tlt R - : - -Itruddititivettr - ther-young—girl7-- the
colored woman had also an infant carry-
Mg in her arms when she, entered- the
train, and a search wart at once instituted
for it. Round on the opposite -side:of
the'ear from where they were .standing,
and about eight feet MI, the little ema
tun) Walt found with its body Curled
,up
e'ying out lustily for its dead mother.
With the exception. of two or three
bruises, occasioned by its fall and subse—
vent struggling on the lee, the clifid -
had received no injuries of any moment.
-Whilesitypral of the crowd were engaged
with-the child two dead bodies' of two
ladies were drawn out, both well-dressed,
and of apparently respectable birth, bat
greatly disfigured about the head and
neck by the severity of the wounds thAt
bad .eaused their death.
All were now. in a state of great excite
ment, anti as, the five dead bodies were
taken nii and stretched side by side - en
time snow, each being soon Soaking in
the bbmil that was flowing from the
'open bashes anddlOrrible bruiiles, , a wild,
indeseriblible.. picture was presenteo.

persons of both sexes, all badly Wounded,
were extricated and _assisted to thno3 r+
still reniairtitig on the Metals attached to
the engine. Nearly 011, the latter- have
broken limbs, and 'it was evident that
several, front the nature of their wOunds,
could not - long . survive the accident:
.Yo.
The Cotidtictor'ii Chu' train, Beigerfril,
wassireadfully cut, the loft side of his
•head being Oho' battered, and his face
and hands were' bruised and bled pro
fusuly. 'ln this he had sev
eral ribs. broken, and ,consequently was
not in a eoudiiion to give any particillars
concerning the dead passengers and
where information should_ be sent to
their-friends. °
4.'ssist,ince had - been obtained by the
time all the dead and wounded were
taken up, and the train, or rather what
remained - Qf it, was run to the - nearest
station. Mauch Chunk beidg reached,
the first thought was to hand all the
-wounded lover -to-the—ehurge-of---the
medical men in attendaUce. The in
telligence of the 'accident soon spread,
and a crowd gathered around the station ;
but little information could be obtained,
however, a •i,l the people hail to-content
themselve, didl the fact that so many,
were killed and wounded.
The dead bodies of the five unfortu
nate passengers were at once removed to
the Mansion House, iu Mauch Chunk,
where they will remain until. identified
by friends.
The elder of the two ladies last found
under the debris was iddntified as the
wife of Professor Pratorins, of Wilkes
harm.
The greater number of , the. passengers
Were Croat Pittston and Wilkesbarre,
and those of the wounded, about ten in
number, were immediate4y sent back.
Judge Dana, Justice of Luzern°
county, teas among the latter, and had
an arm and shoulder broken,-
It was not long after the removal of
the mangled forms of the dead to the
Mansion House that information was
received of the death of another passen
ger, and subsequently two others died—
making eight in all.
The latest report 'MIS that the youngest
of the two white ladies was •a school
teacher, but her Imam could not be
ascertained at the Lime.
Thez,olored -child was sent back to
Wilkesbarre.
An inquest will be held to-day. The
niunes of all Alm parties will be made
public and run details will be duly re
corded of this last teviilde holocan4t.
The cause of the accident, the engi
neer stattA; was that a rail had been
broken, and that, as the train was going
at about thirty miles an how• the engine
leaped over the broken space and drew
the two first carriages surely over,- but
the central ear, striking the broken edge
of the rail, slid ell,, broke the coupiings
and dragged the Philadelphia car alter
it down into the feat rid chasm below.

The operations during. the. p ts.t year
have been conducted tipou the same plan

hurried glance at the report we litel that
the institution is in a flourishing con
dition, and that the pupils have inc le
rapid progress in the different depart
ments of handicraft, music and litera
ture. The attention 01' the managers
has been directed to the int ire of
some new branches * of hamlicraft at a
very early date. . Cpon referring to the
list or pupils from Pennsylvania, we as.
eMtained that there are three pupils
from Cumberland conWy, at dm present
time.
TEp MS :—Pay pupils are charged three
hundred Oullars a year, winch includes
board, instruction, and medical attend
.anco. Blind children, in Mdigent cir

THE ZODIACAL LIMIT AND TIT Au
noit.t.—The appearance of the sky on
Smalay evening, the fourth instant, was

most aliking at, the constant ihn Orion.
Thu aurora has often presented „the
same rosy hue, but the peculiarity in
this case, was the quarter of the Heav

- The inynirer, of Mo nday, pronounces
the first to be the Zodiacal light, and.
the last lie a urora. Neither of; these
phenomena hayr yet been salisfactonly
accounted 'for. lietsehel says they can
be easily distinguished the one from the
other. The Zodiacal light is a bright
ness of the atmosphere before the rising
or after the setting of the sun, noticed
usually when the son is near the equi_
4noxes, in March, April and May, or in
the opposite months of the year. "It
Is," says Sir Sohn IlerSchel, ' in the na
'We' of a ionticularly-formed envelope
surrounding the sun," ,which reaches to
tbe;yrbit of the earth, and yet he adds
that it cannot be "the atmosphere of the
sun "for this is utterly' incompatible
with dynamical laws" in its revolution
on its axis ; the genetall7.4esteived opin
ion, however, is that it is the atmosphere
of the sun reaching beyond the planets
Merenry and Venus. Some believe it to
ho a eolliWtion of corpuscnrencompas

As to the nature of the Aurora, many

and unsafe to pedestrians.
