TERRIBLE RAILWAY DISASTER.

ANIfXCURSION TRAIN WRECKED. 25; KILLED AND .100 WOUNDED. """BOSTON, Oct. 8. A'seii^us1 accident occurred this evening On the old (Colony Railroad to a crowded excursion train, ■> which was returning from the Silver Lake Rowing Match. The train, comprising twenty cars, ran oil' the track. It was going at the rate of 20 miles an hour. Both engines jumped the track, went oil ihe embankment, and became .total wrecks ; hut the engineers and firemen escaped death. At'least Jive of the cars were wrecked, in cluding the baggage car and four passenger coaches.' These ears were piled above each other, and the wonder is that the loss of life was not greater. Charles Westgate, engineer, explains that when a quarter of a mile this side of Wollaston station he saw about 300 yards ahead a freight-car train runnino' on to the main track irom tlie siding,"and he instantly whistled "down breaks," and reversed the engine. _ A "Herald" reporter says: Upon passing Wollaston the passengers were made aware of something unusual by two sharp blasts of ' a whistle, succeeding which the air breaks were applied. Quicker than it can be related the train was off the track and ran over the sleepers 300 or 400 feet. Then came a. third and a shock, followed by strange grinding and crushing. In a second's time the whole left-hand side of the coach was torn out, into which plunged the passenger coach, next follow ing on the ground near the English car lay the bodies of Reagan, the defeated oarsman, and Georce Falkner's wife, while the injured were on every hand. The two passenger cars behind this coach were telescoped and shattered, aud in most of these the horrible work of the accident took place. The killed numbered 25; and the injured, so far as could be ascertained, over 100. ALARMING SPREAD OF THE PRIN CIPLES OF POLYGAMY.

SALT LAKE, October 23.

The Mormons have planted colonies in Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico, and now hold the balance of power in the two former Territories ; being able to dic .tate'the policy of their delegates to a greater or less extent. Within the past two years at least 1,000 Mormons have been colonised in Maricopa county, where a movement is now on foot for the removal of the Capital from Prescott. Apostle Snow and John W. Young are in the Arizona settlements for the purpose of engineering this scheme. With Utah already in their possession, and three other Territories virtually so, it can easily be seen that a dangerous power is growing up right in the heart of the Re public.. ' -.

piREAT GENIUSES HAVE BIG \JC HEADS, so you needn't wondei at my Big Belltoppers: are all sold. I have, however, succeeded in finding, a few more, from size 6J to' f, which will be large enough for very clever irieri, who do riot profess to be great geniuses, at the sarae old'price, Bs. Any man who can show me a Satin Scarf that he has paid is 6d for of 3uperior quality to my beauties at Is, shal have one of mine for nothing, until further notice. You see. Ladies,' how 1 try to sharpen up some of the married men. It seems a pity to let them have such splendid wide and narrow brim Felt Hats for the low price of 23 6d, but you know I must let them have a bargain when it is thrown in my way. I don't see any chance in prospect of their ever getting such another bargain again in Waistcoats as I am now selling at id each. Since writing the above. I have bought a lot of fashionable White Hard Felt Hats, the wholesale price of which was 6s Bd. I bought them for—well, never mind what I bought them for. The proper prico of them is about 103. Well, I will sell them for the ridicu lous price of is each. I have also just bought 10 dozen Fashionable Hard Black Hats, and will sell them at the same price, namely it ; also 5 dozen splendid Plaid Shirts, which I will sell at 33 8d each; al^o a lot of White Ventilator Bell toppers at 7s. When you tell them I have splendid Unbleached 3ocks at 6d ; and superior Lead Pencils at 9d a dozen; Spectacles, Is; Hair Oil, 6d a bottle; Harry's Tricophorous at Is' Jd, and good Tooth Combs at 2d. You will have told them about all I think it necessary for them to know. And now, Ladies, I have polished off the men, I will devote myself to your service. My word, I have some nice bargains for you now. First of all thero is Ribbon Velvet over one inch wide at 4d a yard; another lot of lovely Feather Kdge Kibbon, beautiful colours, includ ing blue and pink, 5d a yard; also another lot of the lovely <ljd Ribbon, and I must say it is going bo fast that I was thinking of raising the price. I wish my Cd l)ros» Improvers worj going half rs well as mylsCd Crinolines have been doing lately. Men's Leather Slippers (before I forget it); 23 Gd a pair. I have just bought over 18 doz. more Stays (white ones this time), and am selling them, we'l at is. They are the same kind as the last lot, only white, and not a spot on them ; coloured Silk Fringe, 3d yd ; Black do., Id to 6d. I am doubtful if there will bo a pair of my S.W. Prunella Boots (without toe caps), left by Christmas, as there has been a great run on them lately ; and no wonder, when I am selling them at 8s Gd, a»d in Queen-street they are 11s 6d. Come and see my other Prunella Boots from 5s to 7s Gd; wide black Hercules Braid. 2d a yard; Dice lot, but not many.

Ask your husbands to buy you one of my beautiful Feather Edwo Scarfs at Is Gd. Men's very largo Cotton Handkerchiefs, id each. Come and see my Ruffling at 6d a yard. I have just bought over 30 dozen more Black Lace Falls, better than the last, but I will sell them at the same price, namely, Is each; Mantle Ornhments, id each ; White Scarf Lace, 9d a yard. Stout Ladies can now obtain superior large sound Stays at 3s a pair, and I have also.large old fashioned ones that Jace behind, at the same prico. I am going to let you have a nice bargan for a little while in Towels, at Gd each; a few pairs of Women's and Children's damaged Boots left, at 2s apd 2s 6d a pair; Sheath Knives, id each; superior do., 6d. I have Butchers' Knives, over 10inches long in the blade. Is each; Shoemaker do., 3d each; White-handled Knives and Forks, 9d a pair. Tell your friends, ladies, about my splendid Stays I mentioned in my last advertise ment, many of which have scarcely a spot on them. I have sold as many as about 2A dozen pairs of Stays in one day since I bought them and I very much doubt if any other shop in Auckland over sold as many in one day. Now mind you ladies don't lose them, as I certainly never had such a' bargains in Stays before. Since I have taken to show my Infant's Coloured Boots; they go flying at Is 9d.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL. extbaordinary cure ob1 an auckland Omnibus Driver, 21 years resident, of Long-standing Rhbumatihm. ~ ; , Auckland,.August 20,1878. Dear Sir,—l had .suffered severely and most acutely from Rheumatism for many years, brought on, I believe, from exposure to all weathers in the exercise of my calling. For years I could not sleep at night, and was unable to lie except in one position. Day and night I was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able to move about at al), and as a natural sequence my general health was also materially iniured I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism and its attendant evils, in every shape and form and my life was almost a burden to me. ; I tr ie every remedy I could hear of, but without 6b taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine and medical advice was very cod siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in bottle of i your Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all ;when I pur chased your medicine, I had tried so many, specifics without receiving the slighest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried out my intention. I adhered strictly to the directions, and the result is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my'former self again—restored to health and vigour, and able to drive daily;, through all weathers, and at' all hours, if occasion requires. I am sure you have never had a worse case to deal with than mine, and although even now, in bad weather, I feel my limbs rather stiff, after sitting on the box for a longtime,l am a living example of the almost miraculous curative properties (under Providence) of your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a 'duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you. this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading other sufferers to go and do likewise. I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I.have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it is quite un solicited on your part. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, Bir, yours gratefully, ■ •" Henry Maiden. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., 88 Auckland.

The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article Of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H.
