r. DAMAGE TO THE RAILRoAb BT THE
EnEsnEI.==Thn- principal damage- 10 the
Passumpsic Railroad, aside from that sustain
ed by the accident, is the loss of the bridge
over tho 0mpompanoosue. One corner of
one Of the abutmons was undermined, caus-
ing il partially to give way, so that two thirds
of the superstrpcrure fell of, and was carried
down stream. The oAher third remained
hanging. The abutnSnts were built wide G.
nough for n double track, and enough re-
mains 10 sustain n new bridge, The track
was washed ut several other places but mot
so badly as TO require large outlay to repair
it. The greatest pecuniary loss TO the Com
pany is the damage to the train by tho mel
aueholy accident at North Thetiord. -Four
cars and the tender are almost worthless; the
other cars are not worry badly damaged. Tho
engine tho Caledania)wa takon out on Mon
day, and was found to be less injured than il
'rrsss feared IL Engt z trimming wore
mostly trimmed off, but the main part Of tho
engine is very little in Jured. The lantern,
even, came out unbroken.
On the freight, besides the salt, the dam
age to the Company, is less than $500. A
small portion ofthe salt, and most of the -four
was saved. The -four is Somewhat damag-
ed. That came over the Central and the loss
falls upon that Company. Agentleman who
has seen tho whole. and aided in rescuing the
freight, thinks that the sum of $1,000 will re-
pair the damage that will fall upon Die Com

Mr. Willard spencer, was swept away, with
