THE ERIE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

The accident which occurred on the Erie
Railroad ON Thursday night is one of the
worst that ever visited tn at thoroughfare.
1t occurred about six miles from Port Jcrvis
The track at this point forms straight line with
down grade toward Port Jervs of about Al feet
to the mile for Is miles. The spot is among the
worst on the road at which "A could leave the
track. On the left side going from Now York, is
high, mountainous and rocky district, along the
side of which the road is cut. On the right-hand
side, and but few feet from the track, there is a
steep cmbankment of some thirty feet. 1t was
down this cmbankment the two cars were preci-
plated.
All of those who killed. and nearly all of
those who were seriously injured, were in the rear
car. 1t is stated that all of the dead are bruised
chiefly about the head and neck 1t is thought
that the last car, n which they were, turned over
so suddenly that the passengers were thrown upon
their heads 1t also stated that one of the cars
turned twice before it reached the base of the
embankment.
Six persons were killed, and 80 more or less in
jured. Among them the wife and child of
Prof. Poet, Vice Principal of the Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb in New York. Prof. Pcet
was in charge of a number of the pupils of the In
stitution who were returning to their homes in the
West to spend the Summer vacation. Three of
them were slightly injured
The accident was caused by the breaking
of rail, throwing the two rear cars off the
track. The verdict of the jury, as usual, lays
no blame on the Company, but says the acct
dent was unavoidable by any g ordinary
care" 1t seems to us that in 50 dangerous
a place extraordinary care should have been
used. And the evidence goes to prove that
the train was heavily loaded, behind time
and running on the down grade at speed
Of probably forty miles an hour.

SnlrBuLpING ExTRAoRDINARY.- 1t is clear
that shipbuilding is merely in its cradle.
The Yankees are determined not to be out

THE FAILURE TO LAY THE CABLE.

The auguries of i'll success which attended
the preliminary experiments and the
previously reported attempts to lay the At
lantic Telegraph wire have not proved de-
ceptive. The Niagara and her consort ar
rived at Queenstown, Ireland on the 9th,
bringing the news of the failure of the third
attempt, after some two or three hundred
miles had been laid The particulars will
be found under our Telegraphic head. 1t
seems that it is not impossible that still an
other attempt may be made to stretch the
ocean wire but the ground for hope that the
magnificent idea OF. the transatlantic telc-
graph can be carried out in the way proposed
seems very small, and indeed it is doubtful
whether the wire, if laid, could be worked
The cost of the experiment thus far, ha:
been about three million dollars, of VIII icl

BENEDICT ARNOLD. "A Biography, by
GEORGE CANNING IInL,-Boston, f. o. LIN.
ny & Co.-This neat volume is one of a Sc
res of Biographical works. As the author
states in his preface, it is more particularly
written for the young, many Of whom in
these days of Magazines and Pictorials, know
little of Benedict Arnold, beyond that he
bears the curse of being an American Traitor
West Point into the hands of the British.
That he was IA thoroughly unprinciplcd and
selfish man, ono whose patriotism never
went any farther than to advance his own
ends. and who deserved all the ignomny and
detcstation which rests upon his name, there
can be no doubt. Nevertheless, he possessed
a mastif courage, and daring spirit of en-
terprise, and in several remarkable instances
these qualities were made to do good service
in the cause Of his country during the first
four years of the Revolution. Besides what
is here detailed of Arnold there is in the
volume much information on many noted
men and noted transactions of those DAYS.
