LARGE VERDIoT.-In the Supreme Court sit
ting at Boston, the jury in the case of Allard VS..
T. H. Perkins, 3d., returned verdict in favor of
the plaintiff in 81 ,9S9 IS, after being out fifteen
aud half hours. The history of this case is as
follows In 1915, T. H. Perkins, Sd. accidentally
or otherwise, run over a boy of Mr.. Allard the
known bill broker, and severely injured him.
The child was at the time 2 years and 10 months
old. Mr.. Perkins was driving very spirited
horse, and, it is stated the animal was going at
very fast gait when the accident occurred. The
father of the boy Immediately commenced a suit
against Mr.. Perkins, in the name of the boy, for
damages, and for his use. In lS4S the action was
tried in the Supreme Court, and resulted in YER
dict of $500 in favor of the boy.
The suit witch has just been tried was brought
by the father of the boy for the expenses of the
sickness, extra care, medical attendance, &c, for
six years after the accident The case turned prn-
cipally upon this point: Were the external inju-
ries at the time of the accident the cause of the
chids present deformity, or was it caused by a
hereditary complaint, viz: scrofula. Upon this
point large number of physicians were examined.
A part of them testified that external injuries ne
cause the curvature of the spine, and that the
accident did in this case the other hand, as many
more gave directly opposite opinions. The jury,
however, were of opinion that the accident
was the cause, and returned the verdict as above.

The Railroad cntns,ronhs.

We copy below, from various sources, some
additional particulars, connected with the melan-
choly catastrophe at NorwaIk:
From the Boston Journal we learn that Mrs
Fluent, of Lancaster. Pa, who was killed at Nor
walk, was daughter of Mr. Abner Brooks, of
Fitchburg, and was not married the evening be-
fore the accident, as was stated, but last fall
She on her way to Fiichburg TO visit her pa
rents. Her father, within four years past, has
lost three sons by accident One was shot, last
fall, at shooting match in Fitchburg; another
was drowned at the same Place, at the lime of
the breaking away of the Ashburnham reservoir,
three ears ago this month; and the third was
run over by team at the same place, and killed.
A few weeks ago, fourth son narrowly escaped
death from the breaking of the side props of car
full of timber; and on Tuesday last, Mr. French,
a son-in-law of Mr. Brooks, had his shoulder dis
located, by being knocked off a train, while in
motion, at Concord, Mass.
To show the recklessness of some of The per-
sons entrusted with the management ofrairoad
trains, we may mention, says the Hartford Cou-
rant, that the President Of one of the roads run
ming into Bridgeport, informed gentleman Of
this city, recently, that he had within short
time, placed the signals to indicate that draw
was open, (when 1t was not ) for the purpose of
testing the engineer. Not the least attention was
paid TO the signals; and had the draw in reality
been open, accident as serious in IFS conse-
quences as the present one, might have been the
result In this Instance, the engineer was prompt
ly discharged; but we doubt whether measures
were taken to guard other roads against employ
ing SO reckless an individual
1t is now definitely asceriained that the whole
number Of persons killed forty four; and there
are tnirty-eight more or less injured Among the
dead who were uurecogDized on Saturday, the
features of DR. Butler Wimarh, of (Hopedale)
Milford, in this county, have since been recog-
nlzed, and his body will be sent Oh Cor interment.
We knew the Doctor well, and his loss viii be
severely felt by his f,mily and large circle Of
friends, to whom he has endeartd himself by his
deeds Of active benevoence.
In most of the churches in Boston, New York.
Worcester, and other places, the late disastrous
calamity was the theme Of discourse, by their re-
spsciiye pastors on Sunday.
