for Windsor County on Tuesday. The Grand
Jury are in Session but what amount of bust
ness is to come before them we are not advised.
We understand that Judge Collamer charged
them in relation to violation ofthe licence law,
that this was a matter that comes more properly
before Justices of the Peace and that they were
not expected to interfere except in cases where
there was an evident design on the part of
towns to evade the law.

persons or more were mangled and manned for
life. some OF whom will die from tine effects, in
point of gross carclessness seems to outryal
the "6, 600 dollar" accident on the Central
The Boston Post ays;-"Thls awful collision
happened because the conductor OF the New
burgh train persisted in stopping it at curve
to eject two way passengers who refused to pay
ten cents each! He knew that an extra loco
motive was following his train, and before he
could start up, it came and poughed complete
ly through the rear car of the Ncwburgh train,
throwing and crushing the passengers in all di-
rections; it is miracle they were not all killed.
The 5 o'clock train from New York came up to
the scene of disaster, the conductor Of which,
after learning what had happened, sent direc-
tons to the Croton station, two miles back, to
notify the S 10 train to stop. But it did not so
stop, and came up and run into the o'clock
train, shattering the rear passenger car of the
S o'clock train to pieces, in the same manner
the Newburgh car had been broken; fortu-
nately, however, most of the passengers had

to the views of at least large minority They
are not content to let the matter rest, but will
in some way manifest their disapprobation Of

voting in favor of them. The wing strength in
