An Awful Rail Road Tragedy.

Passenger Train Plunged into ae Water BY a
Breaking Bridge I Terrible Slaughter Sixty
Bodies Recoveredi
HAMILTON, CANADA, March a.
The passenger train from Toronto,
which is due here at SAG P. NJ, had
scarcely touched the Swing Bridge,
over the Des Jardines Canal, when
the Bridge gave away and the whole
train vas precipitated into the water,
falling distance of 40 feet. The en-.
CINE, tender, and baggage car we're all
completely covered in the water.
The forward passenger car, in des-
cending, was turned upside down, lea
wing only portion Of it above the wa
ter. The forward end of the last pas
senger car rested upon either the en-.
CINE or baggage car, and falling back
upon the wall supporting the bridge,
remained in nearly an upright posi-.
ton. The scene was q terrible one.
The accident occurred on the Great
Western railway, at the bridge over
the Des Jardines Canal, which is ele.
waited some sixty feet above the water.
The bridge swings, and it is supposed
that the train which passed for the
East, short time before, had sunk
the bridge so much that the bcomo.
tive of this train was INSTRUCTED by the
abutment to such degree that tho
passenger cars were raised up and
thrown into the canal.
The train was the local accommoda-
ton, from Toronto to Hamilton, and
and left Toronto at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The number of passengers was esti-
mated at rs to 100, of whom Is were
taken alive from the wreck, and Of
these five have since died.
The water in the canal is Is feet
deep, and nearly all those not immc-
diately killed were drowned.
The engine and tender, will, the On.
gineer and fireman, were pitched head
long into the canal, and are buried 20
feet below the surface. The baggage
car and two passenger cars are COM
pletely shattered. and one Of the latter
turned bottom side upwards, and near.
ly submerged.
When our informant arrived this
morning, the parties we're still busy in
extricating the bodies from the wreck.
In an clubhouse adjoining the station
house at Hamilton, about so or GO
corpscs Of men, women and children
were laid on one floor.
No enquiry into the cause Of the &C.
cident had yet been held.
Most Of the passengers we're from
Hamilton, Toronto, and the adjoining
towns.

USE OF MoNEY.-Tbe N. Y. Mirror
says it is estimated that VIM Astor has
now a regular income Of $4,000 day, or
about 81 10000 q year. If wealth led
to happiness, Astor would be the most
contented man in the world. He is not.
To keep away the govt he feeds himself
on Graham bread, aud indulgos himself
in less generous diet than we do. As
tor, instead of being the happiess man in
New York, is perhaps the most discou-
tented. He is in law with his tenants
one half the time, and instead Of taking
the world kindly, he spends eight hours
out of ten in reading upon the statutes
of fraud. Astor's income is $4,000 a
day aud yet we could furnish all he con-
sumcs for SIS week. Such being tho
case. it strikes US that the man who
makes SIS week is just as well of as
Astor. Three of the best things in the
world are obtained gratis-pure water,
pur, air, and good health.-A Albany

We call attention to the notice of
the American Agriculturist. Having
examined the numbers from January
to March, we believe the work to be
one of the best published. We sly
one OF the bcst, from the fact that the
work treats upon practical subjects.
One feature especially, is worth the
price of the paper. An article is
written in every number entitled
" Work for the Month";" treating upon
matters Of every.d day life; which shows
the editor to be q man of large expo
rlence-capable of giving advice to
men engaged in agricultural pursuits.
