ToBAcco.-We noticed last week the receipt
from Europe Of very discouraging accounts OF the
markets on the Continent for Tobacco, and we
since learn that further advices received this week
give still deporabe accounts, the sales being
made at rates far below the cost In this country
The business this week in Maryland Tobacco has
been limited, shippers showing no disposition to
purchase except Of ground leaf, the sales of which
Indicate a marked decline since our last. We
quote ground leaf at $4@6 so for ordinary TO
good, and Sc 50G07 so for good and choice lots
There have been no receipts yet of Ohio To-
bacco, but it is quite likely some parcels may
reach the market soon. Both sellers and buyers
anticipate greatly reduced rates, and it is doubtful
whether much more than half the price realized
last year can be now obtriued. Nothing doing

RAILROAD AcCIDENT.-An accident occurred on the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad ON Friday
last, which came resulting very fatally. The
Cumberland Journal has letter describing it, from
which We extract the following:
At point about one mile beyond Mt. Savage, rs
we,were going at our usual speed, observed from
the humping of the running on the cross ties,
that it WAS of the track; but before any one had
time to get outside, the car began 10 go over the
precipice here grasped tightly TO the seat, and
over and over went; at each evolution the large
h.,rrffers of rock with which the "till' was COM
d. sed would break through the and mingle
with us l had no other thought than that OF be-
ing instantly killed. The scene indescribable;
our car was rolling, crushing and grinding adown
the rocks: we were jammed, pressed and mixed up
with broken seats. glass, fragments and stone. /
remember nothing more until we reached the bot
tom, when looked around and perceived that there
was not piece of the car remaining larger than
the doors; il literally shvered into splinters.
Our passengers were collecting themselves togeth-
er and such sight they presented cut heads,
faces and hands, torn and blood Jpattered clothes,
shreks and groans met the eye and ear. Those
who csc ped without broken limbs began assisting
those who had received severe injuries. They were
taken from the ruins and carried to the track.
placed upon u car and conveyed to Mount Savage,
where LEY received attention. The distance the
cars rolled about l2o feet, and about 80 feet per-
eudicuiar below the road. IL is u wonder that a
single soul escaped alive in fact, their escape from
instant death Is miraculous. The {. ucks belonging

CURIOUS MISTAKE At 4 TRIAL PoR MURDER-A Gu
rious mistake occurred ON Saturday last at York As
sizes, in connection with the trial of Ann Eimond
son, indicted for the wilful murder OF her infant
child at Caverley. The prisoner had engaged no
counsel, but Mr.. Price, at the request OF the judge
defended her. On being called upon TO plead, the
prisoner, who overwhelmed with grief sobbed
the word "Guilty.' She was indistncty heard, and
in confused state, and her plea was taken as one
of"Not Guilty" This d most fortunate mistake
for the prisoner, as instead of being condemned on
her own confession, she was placed on her trial.
and the jury rendered verdict of Not Guilty. OF
she has received the full benefit of the error
though aself-cOntesscd murderess has escaped the
legal penalty of her crime-La'acastsr (ERg) Croa-

IMPORTANT TO RAILROAD TRAvELERs-A court in
Ohio has decided that the loss of a railway ticket
falls upon the purchaser. 1t held that, the ticket
being negotiable by delivery, any one picking up
the lost ticket could ride upon it. The ticket
agent having sold ticket to the plaintiff the latter
WAS obliged, if he rode, to give IL to the conductor
1t WAS held further by the court that passengers
by the purchase and delivery Of tickets to the CON
tluctor. did not become lessees of the cars; that
they still in the possession and under the CON
troll Of the company: that if the company ordered
passenger who had thus paid his fare to leave
the cars, and he refused he might be elected with

assault and battery; that they would, however in
such case, be liable for breach of their duty az

under instructions from the department, refused
to pay the Indians, until they surrendered InLpa
