OF The passengers of a railroad train was
made on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
on Tuesday night, by fastening a heavy
piece OF timber actoss the track, near Har-

that point a lille after 5 o'clock in the morn
ing, but a short time in advance offhe Ex-
press train, ian upon the timber, and the 10.
conceive was thrown from the track and
badly broken. The engineer and fireman
narrowly escaped with their lives by jumping
from the locomotive, after they had reversed
1t, and before ilslruck the timber. The pun.
lshment for such an offence ought TO be
made the same as that for murder. Ii is
more afrocious han any crime that can be
perpetrated, for it is The coolest premeditated
murder against innocent travellers, with
whom the william who could plan such mis-
