in contact with load of lumber, and was stove

dead; but although severely injured, there is
fair prospect of his recovery. The other bows

Terrible Accident on the Boston and
Maine Railroad.

Yesterday morning, as the seven o'clock
train from Haverhill had left Melrose. and was
about half way to Maiden, going at rather
reduced speed. COW, which was at the side of
the track, suddenly jumped upon the track in
front OF the engine, and almost before the en-
gineer could shut off steam a collision occurred.
The effect was to throw the engine and bag
gage car from the track. The engine, after
running a short distance, fell down an embank-
ment of about dozen feet. The baggage car
upset at the other side of the track. The
passenger cars were thrown from the track and
short distance the sleepers, but were
only slightly injured.
The engineer. Mr.. Langley, escaped injury
The ircm%p, Mr.. George Richards, had both
legs crushed off, and will not probably survive
brakeman named Staples, had leg crushed
off. They were both taken to the Boston Hos
pital.
The most sad and lamentable part of the af-
fair, however, was the death of two we'll known
expressmen, viz :~Mr. Charles Richardson, Of
the Haverhill, and Mr.. E. Abbott, of the An
dover express. They were both in the baggage
car, and were instantaneously crushed to death
in the upsetting of the car. Mr.. Richardson
leaves wife and child. Mr. Abbott leaves a
wife only, having buried his only child last
week.
Mr.. John Kimball, brakeman, of Haverhill,
had one leg broken. This comprises all that
were known to have received injury The
passengers all escaped injury, though they
were greatly frightened.
Mr.. Reuben Gleason, of the Reading Ex-
press, was in the baggage car at the time of the
accident, and leaped out. He was badly brEs e /
but had no bones broken, and will be out, prob
ably, in short time.
passenger states that he witnessed piece
of heroism on the part of one of the injured
brakemen. AT the moment of the collision he
leaped from the baggage car to the first pas
senger car, but instead of seeking his own safe
ty, he proceeded to put on the brakes. and re-
mained at his post until thrown off by the com
ing together of the cars, with the loss of his
leg.-.argus Of Tuesday.

hereafter ream of paper shall contain twenty
ouires OF twenty-four sheets each; that blank
books shall contain twenty sheets to the quire,

rer's name and the number of quires. The
penalty for violating any OF these provisions is
fixed at fifty dollars, one-half to the county,

which contain only eighteen sheets, instead OF
twenty-four, which has been the uniform Gus
tom in the country. We think the bill is
