R@ RAILROAD DErENr1ox.-The cause
of the detention of the Central Ohio R. R.
passenger train yesterday morning two or
three hours behind time, was owing to a
mishap to burden train which immedi-
ately preceded it. The recent heavy
rains have loosened the rocks which over
hang the road at the cut near Lewis Mills,
and yesterday morning several of the
rocks fell down upon the track. The bur
den train ran into one of the largest, ling
same damage to the engiueand couple OF
cars. The passenger train coming along
shortly afterwards had to help roll the
stones away, and were thus detained. 1t
is SO seldom now that the Central Ohio
Road meets with an accident, or fails tc
connect, that the matter attracts attention
when it does occur.
