AccIpES TO NTHE ERIE RAILRoAD-The
New York Herald of yesterd y.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
Cincinnati express train from Dunkirk met
with break down at place called Marsport,
and, wonder to relate, not life was lost, al
though at first it was thought many were
killed. We learn that the accident was oc-
casoned by the aange OF the locomotive wheel
breaking, which threw it off the track, and
instantly became detached from the baggage
car, the Locomotive buryiLg itself in sand
bank, and the baggage car and train passed
on; the former pitched down the bank, ups
setting the stove, which came near setting
fire to the car. There were about tive hun.
dred passengers.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN DAYTON

EN- hLClDENl lin DA1 lON.
About O'clock, yesterday afternoon, the
citizens of Dayton were thrown into state
Of excitement, by the sad intelligence that
the new three story brick building, on Third
between ], fIerson and Main streets, occupied
By E. Brown & Son, as an Iron and Grocery
Store, and N. S. lockwood, as Stove Store,
| had fell in, and buried all that were in the
buildlhg. The citizens flocked to the scene
OF the catastrophe in huudreds, and immedi-
ately Sc; themselves to work in removing the
ruins and digging out all who were beneath.
The screams Of the injured, were most apal-
ling, while among the crowd, who came up,
each was looking snxiously for their friends
and relatives. When the cars left, at 4 o.
clock, two dead bodies were taken out, three
women, one child and four men, and the sup
position was that there wer Q others were bu-
ried. ..a
Those killed are George w. Withers and
A. Jennings, journeyman in Mr.. McDaniel's
Tailor Shop, adjoining on the west side
These two men were at work at the time the
wall fell in on them. Mr.. J. was formerly
resident in this city. Two persons were
mortally injured, Their names are Mr. Cost
u countryman, who had been purchasing u
stove and was just leaving the store when he
was caught by 'hs falling timber, and Mr..
Buck, who belonged to the house whose skull
was so badly fractured he lived but a short
time, Mr.. Bowry was found to be badly in
jured Mr.. Little, the Book-keeper, who was
in the second story, was taken out throu n
hole Gu, without any material damage. Three
women and one child were also extricated
from the mass of fallen brick, badly hurt
The women were in the grocery store max
ing purchases,
The building was entirely new, and the q.
cident was occasioned by an over weight of
iron and stoves, the proprietors had been re-
ceiYing large stsck, and piling the principal
part of it in the centre of the upper part Of
the building, the partition wall gave way and
the whole tumbled in, pushing the main wa /.
outward, on the West side demoshng Nc
Daniels Tailor Shop, and on the East side
doing much damage to the Methodist Church.
The loss of the buildings and stock will not
vary from S2O,0o0.-Cin. Ga:.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS FOTE
MARCH.


Mr.. EDIroR.--Not receiving a paper
from you | am quite at loss TO know if
my weather predictions for this month
were inserted in the Herald '--never-
theless, venture to forward you my
calculations for March, appended TO
which is a small poetic effusion explain
ing part Of the planetary system. |
shall likewise offer a few remarks on
Meteorology which trust will not be
considered ont of place.
Metereology, Mr.. Editor or that sci
ence which explains the phenomena of
the weather, remained for long period
in state Of comparative neglect. This
is sufficiently remarkable when we con-
slider that almost all the operations ne
cessary for the support of human life,
and almost all the comforts Of corporeal
feeling, depend on the state of the atmos-
phere. Il was not till the seventeenth
century that any progress was made in
the investigation of the laws of Meteor
ology, when the most important discov-
cries Of the barometer and thermometer
occurred ;--these, added to the invention
Of excellent hygrometers and electrome-
tiers, in the eighteenth century, have en-
abled the philosopher to make accurate
and satisfactory observations, which have
been collected from time TO time, and
many important practical results have
been deduced therefrom.
The month OF March comes in with
changeable weather, and which is likely
TO predominant few days, attended at
times with Sharp, cutting winds. After
the 9Th day it becomes much more set
tied. Often fair with clear atmos-
phere about the middle of the month,
though showers may be expected occa-
sionally. Fair with high winds after
the 18th to near the months end. A
storm the last day with a mild atmos-
phere.
Days Of storm, more or less, may be
looked for on or about the lst, 9th, 18th,
18th and 3lst.
As March comes in, the northern gales arise,
Driving black clouds along the murl1y skies
With sudden beam shines forth the lord of day,
q ltiu tUN II iiIS SHOTt-lIVeQ ray
Trust not, though skies be bright and suns be
warm
The vernal equinox is iiaught with storm.
Poised in the centre hangs the glorious Sun,
Round which the rapid Mercury doth run;
Next in due order, Venus wheels her fight,
And from the Earth, and Noon, her satellite
Next fiery Mars pursues his red career,
Beyond, the circling asteroids appear;
1he be,ted Jupiter remoter flies,
With his four moons attendant through the
skies;
The bright-ringed Saturn roams more distant
still,
With eight swift moons his circuit to fulfill;
While with six satellites that round him roll,
Moves Uranus, and Neptune, circumyo,yes the
whole;
But far beyond, unscanned by mortal eye,
In widening spheres, bright suns and systems
lie,
Circling in measureless infnity
Pause o'er the mighty scheme, o man, and raise
Your feeble voice to the Creators praise!
