ltAiLSOAO hINaDEHA al AtONhIoA
SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.-On Wednes
dag e!ternoon, last, as the c. & p. train
due here at 5.25 was coming into tn
4 Rochester Station it ran into the Pitt sburg
Fort Wayne & Chicago train whic wa
lying at the Station, with such force as t
mash up the cars cons iderably. The engin'
of the Cleveland train struck the trucks o
the rear car in the Chicago train, jamming
the cars so that the platforms of the cars in
! the latter train were q II mashed. Then, o
course, 70 ollowed scene of the widest con
fusion, beyond description. 1t is most as
tonishing, from the nature of the accident
that none were killed, and but comparative
ly few injured.
The officers of each train contend that
the other was to blame. The causes which
led to the accident will no doubt be investi-
gated.

"An,elope," )" OH the Central Ohio Railroad
exploded at Campbell's Station, on Thurs

injuring the engineer so badly that no
hopes are entertained of his recovery.

@Great excitement prevailed in town
last week, growing out of a prosecution
and conviction for selling liquor. After the
rendition of the verdict a large number of
those who sympaihzed with the liquor
sellers made transparency on which were
the names of the six jurymen who rendered
the verdict, the Justice, Mr.. Anderson, and
the Constable. Mr.. Garrett. After dark
they paraded the streets with the above
transparency Illuminated, and then made
preparations to burn it in derison. Before
they succeeded, however, they were stopped
by some of our citizens whose feelings
could not brook quite SO gross an insult TO
our country and the majestysof our law
The excitement was quelled ion that even-
ing after the ringleader of the liquor men
was soundly thrasheo by one of the jury.
The evening following they again collect.
ed in still larger mum bers, uttering erribly
high-sounding threats of what they intend
ed to do. They were, many OF them at
feast, armed. and seemed determined To
carry matters TO extremes. They were
promptly met, however. by the temperance
men who were not only as we'll armed, but
were men who finished any job they under
took. Threats were made of burning out
the jury and court, and other threats of as
gross character. If there had been u
torch applied TO a house as threatened Bell !
aire word soon havo been rid of her entire
horde of liquor sellers and all their miser-
able sympathisers.
1t is rare that sc gross an outrage is Of
fered to our laws as was committed in .his
case, and present appearances indicate that
another such an outbreak will be visited by
the rest punishment TO be found in the
criminal code of his Honor Judge Lynch
Let them beware!
CT EANED oUT.--Some conservators OF
the public welfare and morals cleaned out
house on Second Street, occupied by
nywph du pate, on Saturday night, and COM
PEELED the mistress of the mansion to under
go divers involuntary ablutions in barrel
of water close ct hard. The deserted man.
sion was then depriv ed of its windows, by
the introduction of sundry offs nsive missiles
usually denominated brick bats. The un-
occupant, acting upon the slight
hint thus given, left the neighborhood.
