Heavy Snow Drifts in April.

A friend, who came passenger IN the CIn-
%cinnati express train, on the Erie road. from
Elmira on Saturday night. reports that that
train was three hours behind lis time at that
place. owing to heavy snow drifts. In the
neighborhcod of Eimira and llornellsville.
indeed throughout Chatauque county, the
snow lay upward of two feet deep, with very
heavy drifts.
Leaving Elmira the train came along at
rapid speed in order TO MAKE up the lost
time. 4 little this side Of llnrnHsvilIc the
snow had entirely disappeared, and 10y the
time the train reached Narrowsburgh. fifteen
minutes time had been gained. The dis
lance from Susquehannu To Narrowsburg.
about seventy tiv" miles. was run in tw"
hours.
About sixteen miles this side Of NarrowS-
burg. at a curve i'll the road near Port Eddy.
the engine ran off tho track, fortunately
against the rock and not III the side where
the cmhanknIcnts and slopes enter the val
lev. The engine was badly damaged, II
was also the baggage car. Fortunately the
high embankment checked the engine aud
baggage sufficiently To prevent the rassen-
ger ear, from running off also. and the pas
sengers escaped with SOM slight brul>e-.-
4 fireman named Bell was instantly killed.
