SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

the Columbia Railroad was left at our Office bv
a friend, who it will be witness Of the +
painful scene which he describes.
FAIRvIEw, Sunday, about 3 O'clock
This afternoon, as the train for Lancaster was
approaching Fa,rview, the axle of the forward car
or Car next to the baggage, broke, which immedi-
ately precpitated the body of the car upon the I
railway, the fragments Of the axle ripping up the
bottom of the which was a Mr.. Gibson of
Philadelphia, bound to Cincinnati with his wife
and children. His wife and child fell Trough and
nearly the whole Of the train passed over her body
cannot picture TO you the heart rendiDg scene
that ensued when Mr.. Gibson was called to the
spot where his wife lay mangled corpse, with the
child, about eighteen months old by her side, COW
cred with the blood Of its dead mother. The top
Of her head was cut off, and the brains Law on
both sides the rail! the body, feet. arms. and legs
broken to tens. Heavens! what sight! the dis.
traced man tenderiy dragged from the spo, the re-
mains of his ''Julia,' calling upon her in frantic
exc!amations; but she could only answer by an
/ expiring look of agony. He next picked up his
babe, and believing it too was dead, ran around
among the crowd imp:oring assistance when il was
impossible to afford him the least consolation The
child was miracu!ou-ly preserved mex,
called TO witness another scene which beggaTs de
scription.
i A black man who had vanly attempted TO leap
from the when the accident took place. fell up
on the ground, and the car running off the track
apon the side he pumped. the wheels passed over
his legs and cut them off in the most shocking
manner, grinding the dirt and clothing into the
. mangled flesh. He lay wri,hng in the excru-
ciating agony, under the body of one Of the cars
until enough 1t assistance could he rendered TO
raise the car off him. He will not, il is believed,
survive.
! \ gent'emln in the forward car had his left arm
broken, and breast much injured, but il is possible
: he will recover.

have no objection To nominate the committee.
The proposition was then laid before the
chefs, who required until the next day to de-
liberate and give an answer: on the ensuing
day the chiefs assented and the committee
was appointed; three were selected from the
ground, the fourth it was thought proper toi
get from I.ogansport and the fifth to be selec-
ted by the four already appointed. Owing
TO the appointment of the gentleman from
Iogansport, nothing could be done by the
committee on that or the ensuing day. Thi,
occasoned some discomfort among the citi-
zens, but when the Agent assured them that
an express had been sent, and that he would
be on the ground by 8o'clock on the next NOR
ming, they appeared satisfied.
In the mean time it had been thought pro.
per to send expresses to Logansport and Pc
ru for troops, and the first intimation that the
citizens on the ground had of troops having
been sent for, was their arrival at Rochester,
five miles from the ground, where they were
ordered to halt for the night. The arrival OF
the troops at this place, caused much excite
ment, not only among the citizens on the
ground, but among the troops themselves

TVS whilst the Indians received their annuity
of fifteen thousand dollars out Of sixty -four

a long matter short, were satisfied to make

BALLOON ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CAsUALTy.-As
advertised Laurat made an ascension from city
on Saturday afternoon. He was cut loose about
five o'clock, end passed off towards the east, with
"a pleasant, though a somewhat fresh breeze. But;
the melancholy casualty which took place, mar
red the interest Of the scene. The novelty Of :he
occasion, had, usual collected an immense throng
who gathered in groupes upon the various dwell
lngs and workshops the vicinity Of the arena.
1t was fearful TO see the recklessness evinced by
many fthose in these dangerous POSITIONS, and
heard Only what had been expecting, when
one of,hose work shops, covered by more than
an hundred human beings, fell in. with a treinen-
cuous crash, made horrible terrific by the fearful
sore ans Of those upon it.
! We fastened to the scene of ruin, and bebeld
one Of the most heart sickning sights that ever
crossed our vision. Fifteen men and boys lay
helpless ,nong the fallen timbers, covered with
blood, and groaning most piteously. Of this num-
Der, at least ten had some of their limbs broken,
while others were dreadfully Mangled.
i We have seen several of those who have been
injured One Of them had an axe-hande forced
directly through his legs another had his back bro
ker and severa! their legs and arms.
i We have no, time for further particulars. The
horror evnceG by the vast multitude, and Particu-
lsrly by the parents, who knew their children were
present, can more easily imagined than described.

ting scene, and most devoutly hope we never may
