Siled one upon the other. Nine are

seoond class passengers.
LATER.-The unfortunate train con?
tained many ministers of the English
Ohuroh, en rouie home from the Toronto
Synod. About eleven milos below Belle
ville Station, the engine jumped the
track, carrying death aad fearful torture
to scores of passengers ia the forward
cars. The baggage oar remained oa the
track, aad tellesooped the smoking car
and second class passenger car, leaving
them oa top of the engine, exposed to
the escaping steam from the boiler.
Here the poor creatures were hopelessly
penned for sometime-breathing the
vapors of death aad suffering all the
agony of immersioa to a boiling caul?
dron of sapor-heated water. Aa eye?
witness says immediately after the acci?
dent, he weat lo the second class car*, it
aad the smokiag oar were telescoped,
aad ou the locomotive, the steam from
whioh, issaiag from the oars, was so
dense that he could see nothing. One
after soother of the scalded viotims were
oxowding from openings. Crow-bars
were immediately put iato requisition by
the passengers from the first class oars,
all of whom esoaped injury, aud open?
ings were made. Macy were found en?
tangled aad were extricated with the
utmost difficulty-timbers having to be
broken. Five persons were found dead,
and were oarried to the road side, where
the wounded lay for nearly three hours,
in the most fearful agony. The sight
was ooo to baffle description. The ter?
rible cries of the sufferers rent the ears
of the lookers-on, who made every pos?
sible effort to graut their requests for
water. Two first class oars and the
Pullman oar were comparatively unin?
jured, and passengers were transhipped
and went East this forenoon. Sixty-five
men and women were fearfully scalded
and otherwise injured-six of whom
died on the spot; four mare have died
aud others are dying every hoar. Not
more than one-third of the iujdred will
live. The wounded and dying are lying
stretched on mattresses on the floor of
the freight shed, so maoh disfigured as
to be irreoogaizable.

A WONDERFUL. GUN.-The Middle?
town (N. Y.) Pres* gives an account of a
rifle, invented by Mr. M.L. A. Merriam,
of a most extraordinary character. It
sent a ball through forty-two inches of
solid pine and eight inches of hemlook,
and again through eighteen inches of
solid oak and nineteen inches of solid
Frine. An interested apeotator was a
amberman, who famished the material
for the target, on condition that he
should receive double price in case the
experiment failed, but nothing if it
proved a success. He succeeded in los?
ing his lumber. Science has been proved
to be a gainer. It might be added that
Mr. Merriam says he has sent a ball with
his rifle a distance of over two miles.
Lead balls cannot be used, melting be?
fore they leave the barrel. The missiles
are octagon in form, and are made of
composition. The report is louder than
that of an ordinary gun, but the recoil
is not heavy; in fact, this little cannon
does not "kick."
If Buch arms had been in use during
the war, trees would have been no pro?
tection to the cowardly officers or pru?
dent pickets. Mr. Merriam is also the
inventor of other valuable improvements
in mechanical art. He has a patent on
bis gun, and has refused $500 for this
single pieos. The secret of its power
lies in the peculiarity of the powder
chamber, whioh ?B largor than the bore
of the barrel, whioh is three-eighths of
an inch. Its length is about twenty-five
inches, and the whole piece is very light.
The ball used was a conical one, and
weighed 135 grains; tho powder, Hazard's
eleotrio, and the charge was 240 grains.
The editor remarks that this was done
in the presence of a number of gentle?
men, whose names are given, and that
there was "no cheating."
WABM-HEARTED AND HOW.-Some?
body having said that Brownlow was
warm-hearted, the New Orleans Times
tells how. It says:
Brownlow's warmth would drive the
meroury out of a four-story thermome?
ter. It baa a sulphurous smell, and
gleams with Bteelly scintillations, like
boiling lead or bell metal. When it
speaketh out of Brownlow's mouth, it
defiles and scorches all it touches, its
very tones grating with the corroding
squeaks of hell's oilless hinges. Warm?
hearted? So is Beelzebub; so are all the
lost souls whioh Lucifer stirs up occa?
sionally down in Brownlow's future
home.
The serenading mania kas oost a New
York Assemblyman his life. A band se?
renaded him, he went out in the rain to
acknowledge the unexpeotad honor, he
took oold and a few days later he died,
leaving $1,000,000.
The wife and two ohildren of David
Kenty, of Walworth County, Kentucky,
were burned to death by the explosion of
a kerosene lamp, a few days ago. Tallow
dips are safe.
Smith, tho colored oadet at West Point,
has passed a very creditable examination.
Napier, his associate, utterly failed. The

BriUIant Military Exploit.
Ebenezerville ia a small placo, lying
about a mile from Book Hill, and thir?
teen from military headquarters at York
villo. Between 12 o'clock and day?
break, last Suuday night, (16th.) Mrs.
Avery,' the brave-hearted wife of Dr.
Edward T. Avery, who, it will be re?
membered, escaped by flight lus winter
the clutches of Jeffry Bond's Court of
Injustioe, was aroused from her sleep by
a great barking of dogs in her yard, and
the tramp of horses' feet. Springing
from bed, and rushing to the window,
ehe discovered that the yard was filled
with soldiers, who had dismounted and
wore rapidly deploying (as skirmishers,
we suppose,) oo all sides of the house.
Some of the most active of theso valiant
men were observed leaping the fences
and forming in battlo array around the
kitchen and tbe ash-hopper. The
kitohen door hastily opened, and tho old
cook made her appearance, just startled
up oat of her virginal slumbers and all
aghast at the terrible night of the boys
in blue, of whom she had such a holy
horror, and who had hemmed her ia so
completely ou every side. No wonder
the old woman, who had none of the
bravery of tho "Noble Six Huudred,"
was well nigh frightened out of her wits.
Mr. Avery called to ber to kaow what
was the meaning of all this warlike de?
monstration. The good old woman's
tongue was paralyzed by excessive
fright, aad she was uuable to make a re
ply.
All things being in readiness for thc
grand assault, Mrs. Avery was sum?
moned to the front door by a loud anc1
coatiouous rapping. Demanding of th<
party who wero at the door what tbej
wanted, they replied tbat they wished tt
be admitted into the house. Mrs. Avon
tben requested the favor of first beinf
allowed to dress, as she was in hor nigh
attire. This request was very civilly
granted. After performing a hast;
toilet, she returned and opened th*
door, being accompanied by her littl
son Edward. At the door stood severa
soldiers, in Federal uniform.
"Have yon orders to do this thing?
demanded the brave-hearted lady.
"Yes," was the prompt reply of a sei
g?ant-who stepped forward. Just at tba
moment a voice called out from tho road
thirty or forty steps off, "Sergeant, d
your d.utyl"
Mrs. Avery, being a little inquisitiv
in Buoh matters, proceeded with he
questioning.
"Who have you orders from? Mei
rill?"
"No, from the Deputy Couoty Ma
abai," replied the sergeant. As he sai
this he drew a pistol. Ferceiviog whiol
Mrs. Avery remarked, pointing to tl
weapon, "That is the authority ye
generally aot nader. I am a defeaoele
womaa. You caa come ia."
The sergeant, making apologies f<
having to perform so unpleasant a dat,
then catered the boase, accompanied 1
a private soldier. They proceeded
search the boase. Preceded by litt
Edward, who carried the lamp, the
midoight iatraders marched ap stai
and searohed the garret, then every oth
room, and every oloset, nook and corn
in the dwelling underwent their scrutin
When they reaohed Mrs. Avery's be
chamber-these mon in the Uoited Stat
uniform-Mrs. Avery said to them:

They kindly promised to be as quiet

little ohildrea, wrapped ia sweet ela
bers, all unconscious of the close prc
imity of armed intruders, aad doubtli
wandering ia their dreams ia some b
ter aad more peaceful laad thaa tin
Uoited States.
The search of this private chamb
whioh, ia all other countries, is held
sacred, and which the law guards so j
louBly from all intrusion, was thorougl
oearched by these United States soldie
whose oheeks reddeaed with shame
they stooped to look under the beds,

house, the store-room, tho serva:
rooms, the bara, the stables, the shi
peas, pig-styes, and every other pl
they could stick their noses into, f
cessively foll uudor their lynx-eyed B<
tioy.

Thus eaded this grand military e:
dition, the purpose of which was te
feet the capture of ono poor one-ha:
man. lt was suspected that be was h
oa a visit to his wife aad children,
report, it seems, originated with aa
colored man, who, wandering io
woods somewhere near Dr. Av<
place, came upon a small pile of a
and a few half-burnt chunks. Coo

This iaoideot occurred during
affair. After the soldiers had depl
about the yard, tho order was p
around, "Shoot him down, if he
oat!" Another Mioor Paris order, e
ing how reckless these soldiers of (
are of human life!
Dr. Avory being a fugitive from the
law, of oourse the authorities will make
every effort to effect hie capture. But
the authorities should employ lawful
means for so doing. This was an illegal
act. There is no part of either tho En?
forcement Aot of May 31, 1870, or the
Ku Klux Act of April 20, 1871, which
authorises in plain terme, or can be
tortured into authorizing, tho military
to break into people's houses to make,
arrests. The military can be called upon
only to assist the Marshal. They have
no right to aot in his stead. The ser?
geant who made the search stated that
he aoted under orders from the Deputy
County Marshal. What "Deputy Coun?
ty Marshal?" And what right has an
obscure, petty "Deputy County Mar?
shal" to assume tho role of his master
Grant and empower the "land forces" to
break into a citizen's house at night and
search it? The Deputy Marshal is a
delegated officer. He has no power to
delegate his-ofiiae to another. He could
not properly have made this search with?
out a warrant in writing. Hud he been
thus deputed, he had no authority under
the same to ?end soldiers in his stead.
The whole proceeding appeurs to have
been based upon a stupid old negro man'e
imagination.
Authorities who seek only to enforce
the law would not have thus broken in
upon a lady and her ohildren in the
night without some evidence of Dr.
Avery's being present.
The deed was disgraceful to the United
States arms. It deserves the severest
condemnation. The responsible partiet
should be held amenable to thu civi
law. It is time bayonet law was stopped
There is no necessity for tho employ
ment of the military arm of the Govern
ment. Our country is at peace, and thc
civil authorities are fully capable of exe
outing the laws of tho land. As is wei
known, there has never a man in tb i
County lifted a hand against lawful aa
thority. Assertions to the contrary ar
base falsehoods, intended to slander i
down-trodden, helpless people.
