A TERRIBLE DISASTER.

On 1... M. A- AC. Paneaser Train Completely Wrecked Oreat Lobs of Life and Property j. The passenger and express train which passed Rensselaer Monday, at 10:33 m the evening, met with a dreadful accident near Salem, in Washington county, at about five o’clock on Tuesday morning. Blue river bridge, regarded as one of the most substantial on the line, had been undermined by high water resulting from thirty six hours continuous rains, and broke down as the train was passing over it, at the rate of 40 miles an hour., The locomotive and tender passed the bridge in safety, and were l#*ft hanging upon the abutment at the sourh end, and the Pullman sleeper remained on the track at the north end, but a combined baggage, mail and express car, a smoker and a ladies’ car all plunged endwise into the river, where they took fire from the overturned stoves, and, together with the car upon the track were quickly burned into ashes. Nine persons are reported to have been killed instantly or to have perished in the fire. Many others were injured, some of whom will probably die. C. A. Cox, the con-, ductor, well known to many residents of Rensselaer, was injured, and at first reported killed, but later reports say that his injuries were slight.

In Mexico there are 100 Presbyterian congregations, ten native preachers and two schools. BFBOIALMOTICE. AU whe are indebted to R Fendig are reqaosted to call nod settle, either by oash. er aote, within the next 30 daya, as I wish to close my books for this year. 2t R. Fkndio.

One-half a Million Dollars for Postage.

George Stinson & Go., the celebiated Art Publishers, of Portland. Me., undoubtedly ray more money far postage stamps than any other flrm is the world; for the last tive years their postage bill has averaged over two thousand dollars per week, making a grand aggregate ot over five hundred and twenty thousand dollarsthis is about the three-hundreth part of all ostage of every description collected by the United States gov*, c-rnment during that time, and in this connection it must be borne in mind that the country has over fifty million souls, and fifty thousand post offices, But the endrmous sum paid for postage represents only the cost of send** isg the light packages, letters and circulars, for large, heavy packages are sent *y express aad freight. Messrs. Stinson & Co. pubfish every description of pictures of the better class and their trade now extends over the entire world. As an illustration of the fa-*t that their trado reaches the furthermost part or the eart., the following may be interest ing: A short time since an order tor an assortment of ever three thousand large and expensive pictures was received irom Tiemania, away down under the South Pole, Not many years ago Tasmania was a penal colony of England, and its population was entirely of convicts and their keeper*. Sinee the removal of the convicts, it has become a thrifty colony; this place is so remote, that three months are required for an answer to a letter. Tons of pictures are sent to South America by Messrs. Stinson &Co. and West Africa sends vo Portland jor works of ert: they have trade in every quartrr of the globe where civilization has gained a foothold. Commencing at the bottom, they have worked their way up to the top. step by step, and thereby, added to the greatest push and enterprise, taey have that solid, prac. tieal experience that is always necessary to these results, in all things They carry in stock millions of pictures, and are at a moments notice ready to fill • d*nt order, or one tor thousands’ of dollaos; they om» ploy some five hundred artlots, clerks, and workmen; their machinery and appointments are on a magnificent scale,and a trade Of ten thousand del. lars a day, ea an average, is required to keep them moving In full blast. Their assortment of 8*00! plates is especially floe, and rank* v«rv high in artistic merit; many thousands of dollars are often spent ea a single plate. They appreciate the vaUi of printer's ink and know hew tolise it to the best advantage;therefore they advertise largely and liberally in the newspapers— newsbaper advertising was an important factor in laying tne sound foundations of their great success, and without it, they state that it would hare been utterly impassible for them to havo reached their present position. gtinsoa & Co. are a striking illns» {ration of what oan be accomplished by energy, Industry, and good j idgmeat. There is “i oom a* the top”— all honor to those who fight their way up. This firm believes|in standard goods and low prices, and on $H«t principle tkUr business is conducted. A merlean homes should bo made beautiful hr refined and rneriw torious works of art; no one has any excuse ‘<>r >:Ot adding to their homes the eburins of pictures,; for fine works of high art are within the reach of all.
