OurRAeEous CARELEssNEss.-Thc passenger
by the Evening Train from New-York had one
OF the most miraculous escapes from instan
death we have long had to record. On reaching
BRISTOL II was observed that the tram had On
great headway. and as the locomotive and bag
gage cars entered the Dept they were detached,
ard the passenger cars passed on, still having
very gleat heuiway Tic brakeman found i
impossible to check the cars, anG the consequence
was that the frs; car dashed through the end o.
the car.house ProvdcntIallY there was barre
of water u, the end Of thc Taiis, winch threw ,ho
car off the track, and It's speed was IN some !nea

The confusion which unsued may beimaginod
but ii is impossible 10 describe the scene Wear
happy, however, TO add that no lives were lost.
