Through the efforts of the efficient Qorps of Teachers the School is now in a most prosperous condition, and 110 efforts are being spared to bring it up to the highest standard. Itt this commendable work let both patrons and pupils join with the Teachers and their success cannot be doubtful.- THE attendance at the Literary Society's meeting on Wednesday eve­ ning last, was large, the house being filled to its utmost capacity, and we believe all were well satisfied with the exercises. The Address by Mr. Baldwin was highly interesting, while the music, reading and recitations were produced in a manner beyond criticism. The meetings of this Society are growing more aud more interesting, aud the interest manifested by ouroitUehs ensure its complete success. THE nftw Drop Curtain, painted for the Good Templars by C. P. Waite and GPO. Curtis, of this village, is certainly a very fine job of work, and does great credit fo them as Painters. It must be remembered that this was their first attempt at scene painting, and shows a skill in that liue surpassed by few who make this line of painting a speciality. By a little practice they fould produce scenery that would do honor to any stage. Those who have not should see the curtain spoken of above. HON. S. A.

Quite a number were present from this village, among which were E. M. Owen and wife, II. C. Mead and wife. Frank Parker and wife, the Misses Parkers, and others. The Presents were numerous and costly, aud were presented tb Miss Kennedy by her many friends in token of their good wishes and respect.

THE old, origual North Carolinians, fourteen genuine ex-slaves, are billed to give an entertainment at Riverside Hall. In this village, on Thursday, (to­ morrow) evening, December 27th.-- This is one of the fluest bands of Ne­ gro melodist? in the^United States.-- Remember they are not Minstrels, but a musical organization of a very high order, and come highly' recommended by both the public and the press. The Buffalo, N. Y., Express in speaking of them says: "This band of colored plantation per­ formers have become special favorites in our city. They gave their twelfth concert lsist evening to a large and en­ thusiastic audience. The secret of their great success is their originality. Their whole hearts are engaged in the work as well as their vocal organs. It was really ainusiiig to see the usually staid divines vieing with each other in laughter at the comicalities of Chas. Harris aud Alex. Marshall." Those who fail to hear this celebra­ ted Troupe will miss a rich musical treat. Remember the day and date, Thursday. Dec. 27th, at Riverside Hall.

KAIMTOAD AOCIORWT. % The Geneva Lake Freight, whjcj} passed this station at 1:15 on Saturday last, met with a severe accident at Nunda, br which the engine and five cars were wrecked, and quite a large amount of freight destroyed. The ac­ cident was caused by a misplaced switch. The particulars as we learned them were as follows: The train 011 arriving at Nnnda ha^, as nso;tl, switched off from' the main track and backed up to the Depot, wheu tho switchman, for some reason, had thrown the switch back on to the malu track.-- The track fron tho Depot to the swi tch is on a curve and a heavy down grade .and the train being a heavy one when she started out it was impossible t* stop her before she got to the switch. The engineer seeing the switchman standing t lie re supposed that everything was right., bnt when he turned the curve he discovered that fne switch was wide open. He whis­ tled for switch aud reversed his engine but the switchman appeared to be bewildered, and did not know what he wanted, aud did not discover his mis­ take until too late to remedy it. l^he result was that the englue and five cars ran off the track and were piled up In a promiscuous heap in the ditch and across the track, causing a damage to the railroad ixmipany of uot less than thirty thousaud dollars. The track was torn up for several rods, the rails being bent as if the)' were willows. The accident happened about 2 P. K.. and at 5 o'clock two wrecking trains were at the scene prepared to clear away the rubbish. Fortunately no one was injured, the engineer and fireman jumping from the engine Just before she took the fatal leap. In consequence of the accident the Geneva Lake passenger was delayed until dear twelve o'clock at night and it being Saturday of course a large uumberof passengers were obliged to wait. The wreckers and about forty men worked nobly, and the track was cleared and relaid in the shortest possi- ible time, when the "all aboard" of couducter Brooks was a welcome sound to all ears. The switchman who was the sole cause of all this trouble. Is an old man who has beeu in the employ of the company for severel years, and what should have made him so far for­ get. himself this time is unknown. That loss of life was not the result Is indeed a miracle. The passengers who were delayed fey the break were taken care of in the West of manner by mine host Hyatt, of the Hvatt House, who we hesitate not to say ketps one of the best hotels in the county. While we like to partake of his hospitality, If we can have our choice in the future we»shall choose some other time of day, at. least when wj; shall not be obliged to stay topttch unseasonable hours.
