,CoLLIsIoS.-On Sunday last meeting
Of trains occurred on the McGregor Yves
tern mile or two this side of Monona
The hon was this: Charles Delano, Con.
ductor Freight train, stops at Monona on
return from the west and remains till Con-
ductor Sherwin, bound west, passes that
station. On this occasion, Delano was in.
structed to stop for Sherwin at Monona
fifteen Minutes and then come on. Sher-
win was not posted as to this order. The
consequence.was, Sherwin pushed westward;
and Delano, after waiting his Is minutes,
pushed down the grade toward the river.
The trains saw each other in the fog, at 20
rods distance, round urvc-the action
was reversed but it was too late, and the
Locomotives embraced each other in such a
manner as to spoil the usefulness of escl,
for some time to come The cars were
somewhat broken up, and few of the
passengers on board were scratched little,
but it may be said that nobody was hurt
Most of the crew sprang off before the
collision, while the passengers were, of
course, in the rear of each train and only
felt severe jar. a
1t is said Charley heard Sherwir's 1his-
tie before he left Monona and that hence
he should have held on. Charley said he
thought the whistle was at Spaulding's Mill,
and that Sherwin was there waiting till he
Delano) would pass. Not being Justice
of the Peace, and not having all the testi-
mony before us, we decline to give judg-
ment, except to say somebody is entitled to
most serious censure: the lives Of human
beings are worthy of the greatest care Of
those who are paid for protecting them.

they are not too lengthy. If answers arc
required Of US by correspondents, we will
try to give them. Eightee" questions we
