How 1T WAS DoNE.-The accident on the
New York 81 New Haven Railroad, on Wednes-
day night, which resulted in the death of the en-.
gneeE, was occasioned by the sliding down of a
large rock from the embankment above, directly
upon the track. The engine received this frag-
ment in Its cow-catcher, and carried it forward
some fifteen or twenty rods, sliding along on the
south inside rail of the same track, until at last
the fragment rolled off and buried itself in the
middle Of the other track, tearing up the ties and
rails in its course. Immediately after this, and
before the tram had proceeded beyond one or two
rods, the fore truck of the engine ran off the track,
at the same time swapping the bolt or pivot pin,
which connected the truck with the engine
This of course plunged the engine headforemost
into the ground, and threw it on its side, across
and outside the track. The tender was pitched
entirely over the engine, beyond it, on the same
track, while the baggage car being turned to the
left, was forced its whole length forward, and up
on The other track, bringing it side by side with
the disabled engine. The forward passenger car
coming in, was dashed against the baggage car,
smashing up the brakeman's platform, and giving
the passengers violent jOlting, but doing them
no further injury.
There are said to be other masses of rock in a
similar imminent position, along the line of this
road, which the parsimony of its managers does
not permit them to remove. From what'we have
seen and heard of the condition of this road, we
consider that no man who has any regard for his
own life or the lives Of his friends, would ever
travel over it himself, or advise any one to travel
over it. A sight of the perious condition Of the
bridge over Harlem river, is Of itself enough to
deter any but tho most fool hardy, from going 10
New York by this route.

FRIDAY. AUGUST IL. 1853.

"a GLORIOUS NIBBLE.-There is venera-
bic gentleman at Washington, who owns all the
fishing grounds of the British North American
provinces. lie is the earl of Stirling, and his IL
tie Is founded on the original charters of Nova
Scotia and Canada, granted to his ancestor Sir
William Alexander in 1921 and l6lS, which gave
him aud his heirs the complete and exclusive
right of fishing within six leagues Of the shore for
three thousand miles. Robert J. Walker, who
has examined the case, tells John L. Hay es, Lord
Strings counsel, that there is no doubt Of Stir
ling's hership, identity, and legal rights And
the attentive correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
telegraphs the information from Washington that
an American company, of Washington and Wall
street formation, will test this claim by sending
vessel to the fishing ground in question, or by IL
censing Maine and Massachusetts fishermen 10
prosecute their business within the limits rom
which they are now excluded by Britain. IL iooNs

year. if bait be plenty, and fish likewise
We clip the above from the Boston Post, but

would give rather new phase to the fishery ques-
tion, if after all it turned out that Mister Bull had
been poaching on the private fishing preserves Of
an American citizen But it does not seem like
ly to turn out SO.
In the year 1899, Henry ", earl of Stirling,
in Scotland, and viscount of Canada died and the
title became extinct. The next Of kin, William
Alexander, baron ofNova Scotia, had emigraied
to the State of New York. where his family was
established when the revolution broke out. His
son, Major General in the revolutionary army,
and highly esteemed by Washington, was called
Lord Stirling, enormously spelt Sterling, and was
no doubt the legal owner to that title.
An Englishman named Humphrey went TO
Scotland, about twenty years ago, and sued for
the title and estate of Lord Stirling, He narrow
ly escaped, the trial of the case, being sent to
Botany Bay for forgery. Uncle Sam, in our
opinion, has better title to the fisheries than any
earl Of them all, but he must establish that claim
in more sterling way than through the rawlings
of bogus arstocrat.

ELECTION AFFRAY IN KENrUCKY.-The
Louisville Journal, of date Aug. 3, publishes the
following account of an alfray between THos D.
BRowN and Hon. B. r. YOUNG:
ELIzABETHTowN KY, Aug. /, 1858.
The election to day has been a secondary af
fair; several difficulties, and lastly, an ARRAY be-
tween THos. D. Brown, Clerk of the Court,
and Hon. b. R. YOUNG, exciting more general
attention. For some time past difficulty has
existed, produced by family matters, between
these two gentlemen, and the friends of each
have appreheuded it would terminate seriously
To day, while DR.. YOUNG was acting the peace
maker between some others who were quarreng
and had su caeded in quieting them, Mr.. Brown
approached, and used such aggravating language
that DR.. YOU'VE drew his pistol whereupon
Brown rereated, and the Doctor fred at him,
some sixty feet distant, the crowd giving way on
each side, and leaving an open space Brow
then rushed back, and when within a few feet
snapped pistol at YOUNG, (the Doctor having
endeavored to shoot again in the meantime, and
failing, threw the pistol at BRowN, but missed
hIm.) BROWN then struck the Doctor on the
head with his pistol, cutting him to the bone. but
they were separated before any further injury was
done.
This afternoon as DR.. YOUNG was returning
from visiting patient, he stopped on the corner op-
poste the Eagle House, to speak to some friends.
and Brown, who was opposite, came over evi.
IDENTIFY to seek difficulty, but was taken away
by some friends, and DR., Y. then walked off from
him down to his office, thirty yards distant, where
he sat down with some friends. BRowN, few
minutes afterwards, came down. stopped in at a
grocery, and then proceeded directly to the Doc
tors office. When within forty feet, the Doctor
cooked his pistol aud told him to come on Brown
taking his pistol out and bringing TO bear upon
the Doctor. endeavored to get up the steps of the
next house, when DR., Young shot him in the left
thigh, shatterng the bone very badly, without in
hlctlng mortal wound Browns son, young
man of about nineteen, fired at the Doctor, (as
his father run down the steps and fell) putting
eight or nine small buckshot in the back of the
office, they having passed very close to the per-
sons inside, vithout doing them any injury.
Brown is severely wounded, and probably will
have to suffer amputation. 1t is an unfortunate
affair. but the universal opinion is that Young Is
blameless, and acted in selfdeleace
