MISC ELL A N Y.

A distressing accident occurred on the Nor
ris s. Essex Railroad Thursday afternoon
A little boy of about four years, a son Of
Mr.. Smith, of Springfield township, being
asleep on the track, (iying between the rails,
was run over by the train from Morristown
about half past three O'Clock, and SO injured
that it is feared that he cannot recover
The Engineer did notsee him untilit was too
late to stop the engine, and supposed that the
train might pass over without waking him, in
which case he might not have been injured
But he appears to have been reused, and
probably attempted to move. The accident
was not reported by the engineer until the
train had gone on three miles--and on be-
ing informed of it, Mr.. Sibley, the agent
promptly sent messenger back to render
such aid as he could. The engineer was
Immediately discharged by the officers OF
the company, for not having stopped the
train and reported to the agent.

GREAT English Remedy for coughs
u iii ealHa a Qfh nj

4 NREAT English Remedy for coughs
" colds, asthma, and cOnsumptiOn.-The
great and only remedy for Colds, Coughs, Asth-
ma, and Consumption, is the Hungarian Bal
Buchan of London, England, and introduced into
the United States under the immediate superin-
tendence of the inventor.
The extraordinary success of this medicine in the
curse OF pulmonary diseases, warrants the American
agent in soliciting for treatment the WORST POS
SlBLE CASES that can be found in the commu-
nifty; that seek relief in vain from any of the
| common remedies of the day, and have been given
up by the most dsting physicians as confirm
ed and incurable. The Hungarian Basam has
cured, and will cure, the mosl desperate of cases.
1t is no quack nostrum, but standard English
medicine, of known and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should be sup
Piled with Buchan's Hungarian Balsam of Life not
only to counteract the consumptiye tendencies OF
the climate, but to be used as preventive medicine
III all cases of Colds, Coughs, Splitting of Blood,
Pain in the Side and Chest Irritation and Soreness
OF the Lungs, Bronchitis, Difficulty of Breathing,
Hectic Fever, Night Sweas, Emaciation and Gene
raj Debility, Asthma, Influenza, Hopping Cough,
and Group.
IySod in large bottles at 81 per bottle, with full
directions for the restoration of health.
