Railruad Accident.

As the night Express train bound
north, on Saturday night last, neared
Oakland Station, the rear car was thrown
from the track by broken rail and pre-
cipitated down an embankment Of about
ten feet in height, the car was turned up
side down, and bruising and wounding 0
of the passengers, out of II in the car,
more or less seriously. Among the seri-
ously wounded were Chas. Mates, ofScran-
ton, arm broken and head and face cut
and bruised; Mr. Driesbach, of Plymouth,
Pa, and two other gentlemen. Also a
child about FIVE years of age, drcadfuliy
burned about the face and breast, by the
hot Goals pouring from the stove near
which she, with her mother, was sitting,
when the car turned over. There were
six ladies among the passengers, four OF
whom were slightly injured.
Dispatches were sent to have medical
assistance on hand, on arrival of the train
at Scranton, this being the best that could
be done under the circumstances
One fortunate circumstance connected
with this catastrophe is, that the Engi-
neer had shut Of steam, az had the car
gone down the bank at the rate the train
had been moving, being behind time, the
must have proved fatal to a
number of the passengers. As it was,
only five Of the passengers escaped injury.

H@~A lively incident occurred on the
Pool belonging to the Mill at the lower
end of town on Tuesday last. Charles
Andres youngest son while skating on
the pool seemed to take no note Of the
important fact that quite quantity OF
the ice had been taken away, and hence
skated into the pool. He fortunately
proved to be a pretty good swimmer and
succeeded in keeping on the surface un-
til he was fshed out. The boys ought
not to be allowed to skate on the pool
when the ice is being taken out, nor af
ter until the surface becomes perfect a
gain by freezing.

Severe Cold---Teamsters Frozen--Eor-

ticipated.

Kansas City, Wednesday, Jan. 3, 1866.
Adpices from Santa Fe by coach say that
intensely cold weather prevails on the Plains.
The snow-bound trains had lost their an
imals Several teamsters were severely fro
zen, some fatally. Eleven men were picked
up along the route in a helpless condition,
and taken to Fort Dodge for treatment.
1t is anticipated that there will be heavy
emigration in the Spring 10 this place IL
has already begun, the arrivals now being
greater than at any previous time. Eastern
capitalists are rapidly taking up business
lots, and the material for building is made
quate to the demand.

On the 10Th ult., package contain

tanning diamond ring valued at SIS
from Charles Francke Il Co., III Green
wlch street, New York, both marked to
Charles Peterson of this borough, togeth-
er with cash package of $40 to another
address, were reccipted for to the agent
of the Hope Express Company at Mos
cow, by boy in the employ of Archibald
Smith, mail contractor between that sta
ton and Honesdale. At Hollisterville
the boy stopped to have the mail chang
ed, and left the stage for about two min
utes When he returned, the above
named valuables were missing, they hav-
ing been stolen from the stage during his
absence. The loss was at once reported,
but as yet the perpetrators of the robbery
have escaped detection. The watches
were all gold hunting case time pieces of
American manufacture, and numbered
respectively as follows 5,743, 1885,
l0O2S9, 1920, l25lO1. They were
with one exception, of Is karat gold, and
worth at wholesale prices from 500 to
S220 each. The diamond ring was
single stone.
Hollisterville, the scene of this and 9th
er daring robberies, is little village a
bout midway between Salem Corners, and
Moscow station on the Del. Lack. & Yves
tern Railroad, and is undoubtedly the
headquarters Of one Of the most thorough
ly organized aud successful gangs of rob-
bers and house breakers in the country
1t was at this place that the desperate en-
counter between Mr.. James Waite and
burglar took place last fall. In the same
vicinity Judge Hamln's safe was robbed
of upwards of $1,000, year or SO ago
\ few miles distant, just across the coun-
ty line, store was plundered Of upwards
of $1,000 not many weeks since. In fact
for many years past the vicinity has been
noted for succession of mail and other
robberies of greater or less amount. No
arrests have as yet been made, though ex-
pericnced detectives have frequently yisi-
tied the section. 1t is hoped that the
gang will not much longer eludc the
footsteps of justice-Houesdale Her
