planed tostv trocknand prevent their running on to the
main has. Demand stepped over that structure, and the
truck's buffs:struck him in the side. He was sent forcibly
wind' the 1 o'clock up-train. The carriage struck him in
tins tape, and he was might up and whirled along for eight
or ten yards. He received fearful injuries to the hied and

"The access to the Valley of Chamounix," says
the Mont-Blanc, "is henceforth shout to become scarcely
more than a simple omnibus ride. The adjudication of the
works for the first part of the Chamonix road will take
place on the 9th May. This undertaking, the oat of which
is estimated at 689,456 fr., will he comemeoad immediately.
The section in question will consomme at Fayet, a mull
village situated among the trees below Saint Gervais, and
will stop at the hills at Servos. From that point the road,
instead of ascending, will run along the Arve, and arrive at
Chamounix without any sensible gradient. The rock which
Mande on the opposite side at the foot of the bills, and
which forms a barrier at the bottom of the valley, will be
mined to give passage to the road. The new route will give
an easy moons to the valley of Moot Blanc. Rises and
deseasts are avoided, and travellers will reach Chamounix
tamest insensibly.'

for the West Riding, which has occasioned no small local
wares; has bees virtually decided in favour of the Hon. I a
