Terrible Accident on the Western Railroad
Three Passengers Killed.
A NUMBER WOUNDED.

We copy the following distressing particu-
lars of the frightful accident which occurred
Monday evening, near the Washington sum-
init upon the Western Rail Road, from the
Springfield Republican of Tuesday morning:
While going at the rate OF &c miles the hour,
the forward axle of tue second passenger car
broke, letting it down upon the track and in
this condition il was dragged along at rapid
rate of speed for at least three hundred yards
The broken axle, truck, &c. breaking through
the floor and flying up among the crowded
passengers; the car at the same time bound
ing along, partly on its remaining wheels and
partly on the track and sleepers.
The scene that was Witnessed in the cars,
among the passengers, ii is impossible TO de-
scribe. All was the most terrible confusion.
scarcely any escaped injury in some degree
and three were killed outright.
The killed were Col. S. G. Moun,forl, a
lawyer Of New York city; Miss Roessle of
Albany, daughter of the proprietor of the
Delevan House; and MIR. John Whittemore of
Leicester, Mass.
james Hagerman was badly injured -one
leg broken-and taken away on litter. Am
asa Richardson of North Adams was much
thrust into the deshy part of his leg.
Three ladies were seriously injured, and
rendered unable to proceed; but they were
well cared for at the place of the accident.
A number Of others were injured, but it is
hoped, and believed, as yet, but slightly
Among these was Mrs Col. Dwight of Stock
bridge.
Col. Mountford, one of those killed, was
accompanied by young daughter, whose
bodily injuries were not serious, but whose
mental agony at finding her beloved parent
and only present friend stricken down in
horrid death, who can tell? Her conduct is
described as most heart-rending on seeing
the mangled and lifeless corpse iof her father
drawn from the ruins of the car.
When the train was finally stopped, the car
to which the accident occurred was almost an
entire wreck. The wheels were all torn off,
the bottom broken through, and the seats
smashed up. The bodies of the killed were
mixed up with the wreck, and it was some
time before they could be extricated. When
they were found, they proved TO be dreadfully
mangled and torn.
The third car was detached from the sec
ond just before the train vas brought TO
stand, and stopped short of the latter. But
for this, it with its passengers may have
shared in part, the fate of those before them.
The whole scene may be we'll imagined 10
be as described, frightfuI, appalling, terrible
The disiigured bodies Of the dead, the groans
and cries of the wounded, the shrieks OF
| frightened and bereaved females, the perfect
wreck which the car presented, constituted
the leading features of picture, which those
who witnessed il can never forget, aud which
those who were spared its sight may we'll
pray never TO have presented 10 their vision.

Interesting from Minnesota.

The ST. Paul's (Minnesota) Chronicle,
announces the return of Governor Ramsay,
on the 18th of February, after three
months absence in the Eastern States. He
reports Minnesota stock high among the
Eastern people, and the prospects are flat
tering that we will have largo immigra-
tion next season.
The St Paul papers are filled with letters
asking Information from persons intending
to emigrate, which would seem to corrobo-
rate the statement of Governor Ramsay.
A tract of land north Of St Paul, recent
ly surveyed, says the Register, produces
about five hundred dollars worth Of Gran
berries to the acre, and the streams and
lakes swarm with the finest trout, bass,
pike, pickerel, &c.
White sand of an exbellent quality being
very abundant out in the vicinity of St.
Paul, some Of it was taken to the Cincinnati
Glass Works by way of experiment, and
with it most excellent glass was made
The experiment was so successful that
company is forming in Cincinnati TO 60 In
to the manufacturing of glass at St. Paul
this season.
A matrimonial fever, the Register also
tells US, has seized upon nll the bachelors
in lha, region, and wives are scarce and
in demand, being the dearest article in the
Minnesota Market.
