SERIOUS ACCIDENT THE PArERsoN RAILROAD.
Yesterday afternoon extra train OF cars was
placed the Paterson Railroad, to bring passengers
down to the log cabin celebration at Jersey City.
Some Internal fends tore mp part Of the rail track
near Aquinack, or placed something across 1T, so
that the locomotive and two of the forward cars
were thrown off the track. The engineer had part
Of his foot cut off, and otherwise much injured;
another gentleman, whose we could not learn,
had of his legs cut almost to pisces and ssve-
raj others were much cut, and injured. We told
By gentleman who came down late last night, that
there were no lives lost. We hope the viIlainous
perpetrators of the outrage will be caught and pun
ished.
"THE ELopEMSxr'-Two important mistakes
occarred in this article yesterday. She Sixth Ward
was mentioned for the Seventh Ward, and the word
solicitor was used for "cx-inspeotor." Wemake
this correction because IL has been thought that
very worthy man, a collector, was alluded TO. He
possesses too much good and sagacity ever to
be gifted to 'jilt he is industrious, bonored,
and respected, by all whs know him, and no young
lady could, or would object to him partner Of
