The scene Of the accident is IA miles
from this city, in the ne~ighborhood of
the Two Curves, SO that an approaching
train can't be seen five hundred yards
distance, and the traok is a single one.
When the locomotives came together
they rose on end. Their fire boxes near
ly touched one another. Their Grss ex-
cursion car caught fire and extended to
tho other ears piled upon it.
Most extraordinary efforts were made
TO sxtricate the INITIATED beings crushed
under the wreck, many of them were
still alive when the flames reached them.
The groans and cries that rent the air
were awful.
Two hotels, one dwelling, q black
smith shop, and a small shed within 800
yards of the disaster, were used to shell
ter the dying and the wounded.
A number of physicians from this city
aud Germantown were early in attend
ance. Two engines from Chestnut Hill
forced water through hose to the wreck
and after working for several hours the
human remains beneath it were removed
to the blacksmith shop, 8 of them sup
posed to be females; under another shed
were 8 bodies, 20 in all charred 50 as to
defy recognition. The body of Father
Sheridan was recovered and brought to
the city.
An immense crowd was attracted to
tn g spot from the surrounding country.
| Many of the friends of the dead and
wounded walked from the city aud pro-
ceeded thither in every description Of
vehicles which we're taken and made use
of in bringing the wounded and dead tc
the city.

teen years ago. q gentleman, then residing
in Danyers, failed in business, and, having
compromised with his creditors by paying
twenty-five cents IN dollar, obtained le-
gal discharge. Having since Prosperee and
lately received legacy by the death OF ;
relative on the first OF the present month
he called around among his old creditors,
and paid the remaining evea.y-hye per
cent in foil, the sum which he distributed
amounting to about fifteen Aoasand dollars.
Several Of those who received the money
had forgotten all about the debt, and many
of them were in circumstances which rem
