AN lLL-FATED RAILROAD CAR.-The his
tory OF one of The passenger cars which was
wrecked at Norwalk, aud so many of its in

about year since, and used for the first
time to convey Governor Seymour and suite

services should be approved by unanimous
vote at the August election. Union is for

terms to Perccably join their friends west of
Arkansas.
