SuOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE CALIMONI IN
RA ILIVAT. —An accident, attended with very Melancholy
results, happened on Friday morning on the Caledonian
Railway. One of the surface-men, while 'working on the
line, not observing the approach of a train, was knocked
donwn by it, and the wheels passed over his legs. He was
immediately conveyed to Edinburgh, and taken the Royal
Infirmary. It was found necessary to amputate both legs,
one at the thigh and the other below the knee.
