TERRIBLE RAIL RoAD AccIDENrs.-A
frightful accident took place on the 26th
October, on the Great Western Railway
in Canada, between Niagara Falls and
Lake st. Clair. Nothing like it has occur
red since the Norwalk tragedy. 1t is
dreadful to reflect upon. Forty-seven hu-
man beings were hurried into eternity in
the twinkling of an eye, and forty-one man
gled and maimed bodies dragged, after
great eXerlion, from beneath the fragments
Of broken cars, One-half of them with just
sufficient vitality remaining to save them
from being included in the first hastily pre-
pared list of the dead Aud all this aw-
ful loss of human life is attributable, as is
alledged to the negligence of one man, a
waichman, who fell asleep at his post This
person, it appears, informed the conductor
of the train which should have waited for
The passenger train, that it had already
passed him. The gravel train proceeded,
and the terrible collision ensued.
Among the survivors were Mr.. Thomas
Francis Meagher and Mr.. o. A. Brown
son. Nearly all Of the victims of this shock
.ng event were em'grah's' Ihe colilsloh

IL incorrect, at least SO far us the reported
