and it seems that two coal baskets were riven to him.
Another frequenter of the Quay was jealous that both the

bssketa, and fell into the water. Captain Warland, of the

manger, and was the means of endangering the poor boy's
life, was sorry for the mischief he did.
As Sennett Annum,. -On the/4h inst., thepaisenger,
by the 10.20 a.m. Flouth.Weetern train from Weyinonth,
Including our Mayor, Mr. J. Roberteon, escaped, through
the promptitude of the guards and driver, what was likely
to have been a terrible accident The train was being
driven between Brorkenhunt and Helmsley at a good
speed, when the axle of the guard's van broke. The
guard instantly, on disenvering it signalled to the driver
to atop. He felt a slight jerk, and was on the alert, so
that they were able too Mop the train before it reached
I.ymington Junction crossing, which is a very dangerous
one. Had the train not been atopped, it is very probable
it would have gone over the bank and no doubt serious
damage have been rained. As it was, the paseenitere
were removed from one portion of the train into the other,
with a detention of only about 25 minutes, a very smart
Piece of business considering the work tot be done, and it
was all got over So smoothly and nicely that there was no
nine., and they were scarcely aware there had been a
casualty at all. Among the Passengers in the train was
our Mayor, who wss going northward, and was an eye.
witness to the good management of the affair. The guards
and driver deserve every credit for preventing damage,
the guanl for swiftly discovering the accident and
signalling. and the driver for keeping lamb a good look-out,
We should hope they were rewarded by the Directors,
for it is owing to their having vigilant servants, as well as
good arrangement, that the South.Westem Company are
en fortunate in escaping serious accidents. We wish
theta a long continuance of their good fortune.

Tice &SIMS ..itustion in PORTLAND is perhaps that of
the water-cart, which after having a pleasant visit to
Abbotsbum or some other nice country place, was
eimuirod after at the Local Board on Thursday last, and
found to be still "out at grass," now in a Portland field.
Sonic of the members jokingly remarked that as Mr.
Ward has now the contract for horse hire, they would be
able to deduct from the payment a charge for the last
absence, without leave of the water-cart. Meantime the
Portland dust thickens and smothers: we hope enough
'water is kept in the cart to prevent its being scorched and
injured this hot mason, and in due time we may say
"Welcome, stranger ! But seriously would it not be
