ANOTHER ACCIDENT UPON THE RAILROAD.
lad aged nine years, the son of Mr.. Moran resi-.
ding in Julia street, was dreadfuly injured yester-
day by being run over by the steam train on the
Carrollton Railroad. The accident occurred in
Nayades street near Clio one of the boys legs
was shockingly crushed. The little sufferer was
Immediately conveyed to his home. We are in
formedthat the lad was flying kite at the time of
the accident.
During the recent session of the Legislature a
petition was numerously signed, asking that body
to prevent the running of the locomotive on this
road within the city limits. What action was
taken upon the subject we are not informed but
this crying evil should be remedied. Not day
passes that the lives of our citizens and their chill
dren are not placed in jeopardy. Nayades street
seems especially selected for the display of speed,
and in the most populous portion of it-at the very
point where this sad affair occurred - additional
impetus is given to the locomotive to enable it TO
leave the cars and rush forward with lightning
like velocity, for the purpose of turning off into
another track! We have often shuddered at the
hair breadth escapes that we have witnessed from
this very cause, and yet it continues in the midst
of crowded city, and the indignant complaints Of
the community are dsregarded.

learning displayed the Recorder was addressed as

The returns from all parts Of the Union

gaged in it. The Mexican boundary survey
is rapidly approaching completion, and the

appropriation act of May last, may be reai
zed. The Secretary recommends the appli'
cation Of thick coat Of paint TO the public

they are constructed, and which are now fos
crumbling, from the r1vages of the weath'
