REMARKABLE AccIDENT.-At Whlte-
haven, England, recently, little girl was
crushed to death by locomotive which
dashed into her fathers house. The cir
cums,ances are thus related in the report
of the inquest -.
Shortly after leaving ST Bees the train
had to descend an incline OF something
like twelve lee, into The town, and there
being boar frost upon the rails, which
rendered them very slippery and caused
the train 10 90 mach !a>ter than usual,
the engine driver attempted to reverse the
engilie, which is done by fixing parttc-
ular handle in catch. The handle, how
ever, slipped back several times out OF It's
pIace. until on nearing the station at
| Whitehaven, seeing that an accident was
alifiost inevitable, the brakes were put on,
and the driver once more attempted to re-
verse the engine, but in doing so the en-
cine got four strokes forward, land pass
mo the station ran through the outer wall
of the house of Mr. Pennington, and
through another wall into his back parior.
The little girl, Jane Pennington, was al
the time sitting singing in the kitchen
when the engine passed over her, mnc!
mu,ilating her. and causing Immediate
death. The engine, on dashins into the
parlor, knocked the fire CRATE out Of IT.

a few nights ago: 4@ ssa.
During the gus, that came up from the

at the circus were suddenly exlinguished,
and the iea, iul flu,tering of the huge cam

packed multitude rushed over each other
in desperate attempts 10 find the way out
of the supposed, danger. Mothers scream

Dresses were torn, bonnets mashed into

fusion worse COMPOUNDED reigned supreme
for several minutes. On the re-appear-
ance of the lights, anda partial restoration
of order. it was found that several ladies'
had, in the darkness. fled to the apartment
occupied by the elephant, and had placed
themselves under the protection of that
unwieldy animal. The frs: thing that
broke upon the vision Of these ladies was
the ponderous trunk Of the sasacious
Romeo sweeping in graceful lines
above their heads. Such an unexpected
'.seeing the elephant produced new
panic, the shrieks and screams were re-
doubled, and some rarn specimens OF 'emi-
nine s.t.ll walking" added much to the
burlesque of this singular scene. Quiet
