'The train had proceeded on tharoute but s ubort dig-+ tanco, whon it mat a broken rail, striling which,. six cars woro precipitated from the track to the gully bolow, a distance of fully 30 fost. The on- gino sud tondor, followed by two oxpress cars, passed tho brokon rail in safety, but tbe bug~ gage-car on renching that point was thrown from the track and fotlowed by tho rest of tho tnain. The train, moving at the high ratoof spned which bad been obtained, trembled & moment on the sloopers provious to taking che flual pluuge, but bofore it vms possible for auy one of the passengers to realize what had occurred, the cars woro tumbling pe:ll- mell down the precipitous steop. TUX BAGGAGE. CAR ‘was the first to gzo over. It landed bottom-sitle up, & wreck, and was given over to the lameit. Tfm baggage-master, when the car first loft tine tracl, beeamo wodged in between omo boxe which the shock of the car by striking the groun relensed him from, and Lo oscaped with scarcoly 8 bruise, This was followed by throo coaches, a sleoper, and a_caboose,. which was ottached to tho train. Almost simultaneously with the fall a firo broke out in the wrecked train, which lit Ifl) tho scons and added to the %orrors of the calamity.

By this timo tho cars wore & mass of scething, crackling, roaring flames, and the late ocenpants who had cscapad with their lives, or at best with some bruises of minor importance, contemplated tho prospect with anxious hearts, lost somo onp had boou unable to escape. THUE ENGINEER instantly became conscious that an aecident, had occurred, and, shuiting off stenm, brought his engine to & halt, and returned to tho ruina, As soon ss the pussol:{;nm ‘were recovered, tho wounded wora placed in the remmining cars attached to the locomotivo, and taken to Woodstock, where pllymfann wore in attendance, and 1l that was possible was done to alloviate their agony. T'ho rost of the passen- gers were convoyed fo hospitable quarters in that town, and those who were uninjured con- tinued thoir journoy to the city on tho train, ar- riving at 10 o'clock ‘this morning, or returned to thoir homes.
