RAIL RoAD AccIDENTs.--A LITTLE GlEL
KILLED.-On Thursday evening last at Cam
den Station little girl was run over,
by the cars, and almost instantly Killed.
She was walking on the track, and did not
observe the cars in time to make her escape.
Her body was nearly cut in two across the
abdomen, so that her intcstincs were forced
out. A little girl accompanying her, was
also very severely, if not fatally injured.
Such unfortunate occurrences should teach
parents to keep their children away from
the rail road track and thus save the she'd
ding of many bitter fears over such heart
rending casualties. We some times see lit
tie children in this city standing near the
track and leaning over to touch each car as
it sweeps past-thcmselves unconscious oiinl-
mediate danger and the parents blissfuy
ignorant perhaps, Of their darlings perilous
situation. In an unGuarlcd moment they
may fall or by an unintcntioaaI movement
of playmate lie thrown, beneath the pom
,Icrous Wheels to lie crushed to death. 4
word to the wise is said to be sufficient.
IIoRsE Run OvEE.-On the same day the
Mail Train bound Fast, ran over Il horse near
Warrington. The Engine was thrown of
the track, and the train delayed about two
hours.

way to this city, on Thursday morning, 9th
inst ran over Z lady between HarmckvIlIe
and FLirmount, cutting off scr foot. The

was thrown several feet but strange TO say,
was uniniurcd The train Immediately stop
ned. took lip the injured lady, whose name
was asccrtaincd to be Mrs. j. Straight, and
conveyed her to hcr home at Bagrack
vile.
