CARS OFF THE TRAoE,-The freight
train on the Rutland and Washington
Railroad due here at S:25 Wednesday
evening, was thrown from the track at
West Rutland by the displacement of a
switch, and the engine and ten cars now
lie turned over on their sides in ditch
beside the track at that place. The
switch-tender says that he left the
switch turned right to run the train
through to this point, and the cause OF
the accident is unknown. There are
suspicious, however, which seem to be
well founded, pointing to certain per-
sons as the perpetrators Of the mischief
II those suspicious are confirmed, the
guilty parties should be visited with the
utmost penalties Of the law.

A WARNIYG.-An incident at the We'll
don House this morning suggests the oft
repeated warning about carelessness in
handling firearms. A son of gentle
man boarding at the hotel was handling,
as he supposed an empty carbine, which
he presented cooked at another boy en-
tering the room. This demonstration
did not suit the object of it, and at his
suggestion the aim of the carbine was
varied little, when the boy at the trig-
ger pulled, and the piece was discharged
with no other damage than large hole
in the partition. The boy who was first
aimed at was almost knocked over by
the explosion, and but for his prudent
circumstances would have had his heac
blown off. We are happy to chronicle
the marrow escape" rather than rata
accident" which too often results from
careless use of tirearms.-&. Albans Mes

Leavenworth give the particulars of the
death of Senator Lane, under circum-
stances which leave no doubt that II
was done under iit Of mental derange-
ment, as he is the third out of the fam
lily who have committed suicide.
The circumstances of his death are
thus described;
Senator Lane came up from st. Louis
on Friday last and went directly to the
residence of Mr.. Mccall upon the Gov
ernment Farms. Before leaving st,
Louis his conversation intimated de-
termination to suicide, causing him to
be closely watched, his friends getting
possession Of his pocket knife, fearing
it might be used for the fatal purpose.
On Saturday afternoon he desired to
ride out. Mr.. Mccall brought up his
carriage and invited Mr.. Adams to ride
with him. After getting to the carriage
Lane expressed desire to return to his
room for his cane, refusing to allow any
one 10 go for him. Returning with his
cane they drove upon the heights over
looking the fort and city. Lane entered
freely and cheerfully into the converse
ton, remarkng upon the beauty of the
city and landscape.
On returning they had to pass through
a gate that separated two fields. Mccall
alighted to open the gate. Lane stepped
down from the carriage at the same
time, passing around to its rear, said
'Good-by, gentlemen and instantly dis
charged pistol with its muzzle in hi:
mouth. The ball passed out at the tor
of his head, near the centre Of his skull
producing a fatal wound"

THE FIRE WORKS.

In consequence Of the rain storm,
which came on late in the afternoon,
quantity of the fire works which had
been set up" preparatory to the eXhl-
bition. we're damaged, and hence the dis
play was not commenced until late
hour, so late, indeed, that many who
went to witness it, thinking there
would be no display at all, left the
ground and went home. The display,
however, did take place, and though we
have seen better, it was doubtless as
good as could be expected under the
circumstances. The Maltese Cross and
Final Tableau were two very handsome
pieces. and the shell firing was excellent.
The pyrOtechnist was unable to 60
through with the programme as adver-
tised, in consequence Of the damaged
condition of the pieces, but such pieces
as were exhibited were good. and but for
the rain, we presume all would have
passed off pleasantly and satisfactorily.
IN GENERAL.
The day ended without disturbance
of any kind. Grand Juror Joyce in.
formed US yesterday that there was no
"police intelligence" to report, which Of
itself, speaks sufficiently for the good
conduct of our citizens and visitors or
such an occasion Of rejoicing as the
Fourth OF July.

WHAT DID IT "A young lady, returning "a
her country home after few months sojourn in
New York was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place of rustic, flushed face, she had soft,
ruby complexion, of almost marble smoothness,
and instead of % she really appeared but II.
She told them plainly she used Hagan's Magno-
liza Balm, and would not be without it. Any
lady can improve her personal appearance very
much by using this article. 1t can be ordered
at any Druggists for only so cents.

ACCIDENTS ON THE FoURTH.-A young
man named Edward Huntoon was badly
burned about the face and head on the
morning of the Fourth, at Castleton, by
the premature discharge of cannon,
while engaged in firing salute. 1t is
feared that he will lose his eyesight in
consequence.
A Mr.. Chilson had one of his eyes
somewhat injured at the same time and
place.
AT West Poultney, a youth named
John Livingston, aged IS years, was
killed while engaged in firing morning
salute. 1t appears that strife was ex-

would fire their cannon quickest, and
without sponging or thumbing the
piece, young Livingston endeavored to
ram the cartridge down, when it ignit'
ed, causing the ramrod to pass through
his hip, tearing off both his hands, and
otherwise horribly mangling him. He
lived but about an hour after the acci
dent.

PIG RACE

took place. The pig, which had been
previously shaved and well creased, was
let loose near the Bardwell House, with
the understanding that whoever caught
it should have it for his pains. But
little sport, however, resulted from the
the race, as piggy ran but a short
distance before he was captured in the
crowd by a deputation of five West Rut-
landers, who, after INDUCING in free
alteration for ownership, concluded to
take him to the West side, whittier he
was borne in triumph, attended by some
200 jewellers on that side. We hear that
it was there creased over again and
turned loose for another chase, but who
the fortunate winner was, we have been
unable to learn.
The Sack Race, Wheelbarrow Race
and climbing of a creased pole, were
indefinitely postponed on account of the
| weather.
