which froze tihe blood in imy veins;
terrible, bloody*, never to be forgotten.

Ito wa-.s dead I i the garden there
were plenty of beautiful roses inl full

seen a small round hole inl the uniforn.
'Do you know tle ollicer," I a4ie(..

accidenit oin the Wilmington and Man
chester lailroad, and bri, further
parculars. We learn that the acci
dent occtrred at Soldie r's Creek, about
thimty miles from Wlhington, at five
A. M., Siniday moriing. Tile heavv
rainas had caused the creek to rise, iad
the trestle was undermined, tho em
bankment being washed away. This
was not kanown to thie engineer, and as
ti down traiin struck the trestle and it
gaive way, andl the enigine aand thio bag
gage and( mail cars wero prceciitated
iato tlhe creek. 'lThe engineer leaped
from the cnginoe aand saved himself, but
Mr. Jacksoii larral, a trestle bmilder,
and Mr. (C. J. Btird, a section master,
wvere caug ~.in the wreck and instanitly
killed. Thmo engineo went hieadforemnost,
int~o the creek, bait gained the opposite
side, tand stopped ian a perpendicular

catcher out of the wvater. T1hie fall of
the engiane carried with it the baggago
and madi cars ; these wero brokeni ianto

(only by a mairace. Most of the maiil
matter wvas lost, and t.hat saved fronm
the wreck wias too wet for dit.qribution,
aind was carried back to Wilmington.
Fuortunaately, tho passenger cars wiere
stopped ivhaen they wvere almost on the

Now Metals.
Within thbe last live vonrs our stock
of Mineralogical in forination has beenl
vastly increased. Time was when we
we were satisfied with our simple metals,
gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, and
tiif. The nixed mntals, brass, brote,
powtor, etc., succeedel, and they have
all been useful to mankinid, as have the
variiouis modi ficat ions aid nixtures of
metals in certain degrees, which have
b eeii applied to vCy impo'tant pr-t

winch a kind providence had provided
were already within our power-adopt
lg. in fact, the comfortablo idea that
we know all that was worthy in regard
to this natter, wo were not, prepa red
for the inl tix of iew% metals which witi
inl a few years past, have burst upon uts,
and bade us prepare for whateover ad.
vantage was to be derived from their
use. With aliniimi in, the metal de
rived from clay, we have been longest,
acquainled. Wo are tolerably familiar
with its <pialities, and have seen anticlos
made from is which are very light and
beautiful.
Magniesium is the0 next mineral sub

ie&tals upon ling coIIsiumed, mak liies

metal becomes as well shown to a prae

in burning a substance before ulnex
perim:iented with, lie detects lines of
color different from anything which he
hid previously known, ho detects the
pre'sence of a new metal, and setI to
work to drag it from the si tance in
which it is diffusied, and to r-euice it to
a permanient form. \ry, intersting
experiments have been lately nliille 1is
to the iature of indium. It is fou nd to
be most generally <ltTised in blende
proenred in Glermany. But in fifteen
Slecillells ot blendo obt.a i ned in the
Ujinited States from loCalities at, great
distances apart, no trace of idiuim could
bo perceived. The metal is whiie,
brighter thain tin. and approaclihing the
lustre of silver. It is soft and-' ductIcle
and does not tarnish. It melts at the
same temperature as lead. It i.s re
solved into oxvdes. chlorides, suliides
andl other forms. The benehit; of these
in the arts is vet t.o be tested. No doubt
they will be of Advantage.
Rubidium is another niew met al, the
uses of which are to be determinel.
It also was discovered by the prism.
It has been found mno.st lentiifuilly in
lepodolite, and is dletected in luany'
stony subst antces, anud in crude,
saltpotre, tobacco, coffee, ten, the sugar
beet, and other articles. What isto beC
done with it cannot yet be deteirmined
fromi the little wo kinow of it. It is
beliuved that the salts may be empl1oyed
wi th adlvainago in medicine, but, the
partieulat' disease~s for wlnch they will
be ulseful as a~ remedy aro yet to b:.
determlined.
Cosium was discovered in the. resi
duumi remaining after the evapora tion
of a mineral spring. It resembhles
potash very closely-so nmuch so that
the ordlinary cheml~ical agents or the
blow pipe fail to supply the proper test.
The prism or spectroscopo furnishes thec
only mleanis of dletectinig this metal.
It found miost plentifully in thme miinerai
called polhux, found in the isle of' Elba,
and resembling fluor ophir. Polluix
