SMASH UP ON THE LAKE SHORE RAILROAD
Quite serious accident occurred on the Lake Shore
road last night, and it seems provdential that more
damage was not done than there was. The train
from the east which was due here at O'Clock in the
evening, when about twenty-five miles this side of
Erie, ran upon large tree, which had been blown
down and fallen across the track. 1t being dark the
engineer did not see the tree although was Of large
size-about two feet thick. The locomotive was
thrown off, and smashed up into an uudistinguish-
able mass. The engineer and fireman were pitched
off, and both bruised considerably, but neither dan
eerous]y hurt The baggage car was entirely de-
molished-the trunks, carpet bags, and boxes being
agent. Mr.. Douglass, was slightly injured, and his
postofice rather discomposed. The passenger cars
were all thrown of, and more or less damaged.
Many OF the passengers were bruised and otherwise
injured but none seriously hurt. One two Of the
trakesmen also injured slightly. The train was
going about twenty five miles hour OF the time of
lie accident Cleoelaad Plaindealer, Nou 10.

Between Big and Little Blue met one or two par
ties returning from Green river and Salt Lake.
Those from that section report difficulty and serious
disturbances among the people OF the Valley and the
mOuntainees on Green river, and that Bridges had
been run away from his fort by them. Though there
appears to be some truth in these statements, am
not sufficiently informed to say which party both,
are to blame also met on the Lost Sandy, return

Prince de viede, and Prince Of Nassau, grandson,

1852 in Paris, at his hotel near the Place Vendome.
AT the point where you touch the Blue, met the
company Of rifemen under Capt. Van Buren,, return
ing after tour of duty through this upper country
At or near the same place, met the train having
goods for the sutler at Fort Kearny. At tae point

returning from tour OF pleasure.
This post now looks rather dull-most of the

here heard the reliable statement, as far as one

sixty miles southwest of Kearny. about four hundred

They were attacked by the Arrapahoes, Cheyennes,

absence of their allies on buffalo hunt and forming
themselves in front Of a deep bending ravine, in
which the squaws and children took refuge, they
fought from early in the morning until about four 10
the afternoon, when, worn down with fatigue and on
the point of despairng and defeat, they saw the
