MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

Notwithstanding the many inconceivable escapes from
death in connexion with railway accidents, we doubt if
one more singular and providential has ever been re-
corded than the following:—A lad named George Knott,
16 years old, the son of a respectable innkeeper in Ash-
ton under Lyne, was employed as a clerk at the Ashton
station of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire
Railway Company. On Saturday last he wished to visit
a garden belonging to his father or himself, a short dis-
tance from the station, and about noon, seeing a goods
train belonging to the London and North-Western Com-
pany passing through the station, he ran and attempted
to get upon the break van at the end. The train was
going at the rate of nearly twenty miles an hour,
and the guard, who saw the attempt, seems to have
been convinced that it must fail. Accordingly, he
instantly screwed down the break with his ut-
most power, hoping to check the train so 'much
a 8 to attract the attention of the driver. The
lad missed his grasp and fell; his legs slipped between
his clothes the spokes of the hind wheel of the van, and his back
back very much cut and
andt. head came upon the ground. In ,this fearful posi-
ttoenthe was dragged along for fully 100 yards before
