CITY INTEIJJGENCE.

Railroad accident An accident of quite a
serious nature occurred early yesterday morn
ing, by which, an old gentleman named John
Graham was much injured. 1t appears, that
Mr. Graham was driving his milk-wagon along
Pratt street, near the corner of Grant street, at
the time driver of car, loaded with lumber
was passing into Grant ct. Mr.. Graham see
ing that collision would probably take place,
drove rapidly across the track, but before cross
ing it, the car came in contact with his vehicle
so forcibly, as to throw him out. He fell upon
his head, and was much bruised, besides re-
ceiving great injury to the spine. A number
of spectators cautioned the driver of the car, of
the danger likely to ensue, but he urged his
horses on, and the consequence was as we have
stated. A gentleman kindly removed the in
jured man to his residence, at the western ex-
tremty of Baltimore street, where he was at
tended by Dr. Edward Baker. MIR. Graham
is between go and 10 years of age.
A Gentsel ScOundrel. A few days since, We
ny genteel looking young man, who gave out
that he was from New York, appeared in our
city, and presented forged letter of introduce
ton TO young gentleman in Old Town, pur-
porting to be from near relative in the above
place. He stated that he was on visit for
few days only to the city, and was invited to
make the gentleman's house in Old Town his
home during his sojourn. He did so, and yes
terday decamped, accidentally, of course, TAX
ing gold watch and several valuable articles
with him. So soon as he is done using them,
he is requested to return them to the owner, or
take the consequences.
