ANOTHER RAIL RoAD ACCIDENT We
are panied to learn, that a most fearful acct
dent occurred on the Richmond and Peters
burg Rail Road, on Sunday afternoon, about
nine miles from the latter City. by which the
passenger car was totally demolished, two lives
lost and several persons wounded. 1t appears
that the axel of the car broke, by which the
car fell TO the track, and dragged over the
rails, the fat bar piercing It's floor and tearing
it out,-the passengers dropping through. Mrs.
Purnell, daughter of Ex-Gov. Dudley, was
much hurt, a young child killed, and another
wounded, and a servant girl had both legs cut
off. Our esteemed fellow citizen, E. B. Free,
man, and his daughter, were in the train, and
the former was considerably bruised, though
we are happy to learn that he was not serious
ly hurt.-Register.
7 We CLEAN the following additional p%articn-
: lars from our exchanges The child of Mrs.
f Purnell, we are glad to see, was not killed, but
though seriously injured, it is believed he
will recover. The servant girl has since died.
+ Mrs. p. is improving and will soon be we'll.
