Fr:htinl Accident on the North Missouri II aiIroad -
Thrce Men Killed and Seven Wounded-Fiendis,,
viliainy.
y distressing accident occurred on the North
Missouri Railroad, last night about II O'Clock.
the particulars of which We obtained from the
officers of the town.
The casualty occurred about five miles from
the city. the ninth section, at the bridge across
the Bellefontainc road, and was the result of an
act OF atroc rus vlllainy perp2tratcd by some un-
known fiends, who we heartily hone to sec ares
ted and brought to justice. Near the side of the
track. on the bridge, was derrick which had
been used in hosting stones and timbers with
which to build the bridge. The bridge being
completed, the derrick had been swung aside so
that the cars could pass unobstructcd, The un
fortunate train left st. Louis at ~ o'clock and
passed over the bridge: which was perfectly
clear; an hour later it returned, and in running
across the bridge, the smoke pipe torn from the
locomotive. by some unseen agency, and COM
pany OF laborcrs sitting platform car swept
of also, and precptated. some of them, over the
bridge, falling n distance of twenty feet. and the
rest on the ground at the side of the track. The
derrick had been swung around, 81 that Il stout
rope attached to it hung Immediately across the
track. several feet above the ground. Having
passed the bridge short time before, and find
ing it clear of obstruction, no danger was appre-
hcnded, and the locomotive pushed across with
the consequences as stated above.
John O'Ncil, laborer, and Jacob Law, carpen-
ter, of Wayne County, Indiana were killed in
stantly. Jacob Grim was fearfuly wounded
he cannot recover, and is expected to die in a
few hours. John Russell, Martan Casey, John
CLARK, - Brown, and four others, whose names
we were not able to ascertain, were severely
wounded, though their in urics are not supposed
to be of dangerous character.
Who could have been guilty of the diabolical
deed, which was thus the cause of the death of
three human beings, or what motive could prompt
any one to commit the fendish outrage. are mat
tiers yet involved in complete mystery. We
hope that no efforts will be spared to ferret out
the wretch and indict on him the punishment he
SO richly deseryes.-.N. Louis Netrs,

FouR Coop HABITs.-Tbcre were four good
habits, a wise and good man earnestly recommen.
ded in his counsels, and also BY his own exam

for the management of temporal concerns; these
are Punctualty, Accuracy, Steadiness and Dis
