Sad Tragedy i'm COcyrnan's HoI.

We hear of a sad and fearful tragedy tina
occurred yesterday afternoon, in Coeynan'

A young man named Palmer had been
paying his attentions, for some time to the
daughter Of Archibald Stevens. and finally
became engaged to marry her.
Learning OF his engagement, the father,
who had taken a dislike to Palmer, became
cxasperated, and forbade him the house
and at the same tine cautioned his daugh.

and his daughter had met, and had Ron

home.
He Immediately started in pursuit, ant

house Of Mr.. Electa Shear, but his daugh

house hurriedly, slying as he hastened ul

Escape OF "a Railroad Trails.

Mr. Robertson, mail agent on the Allan
tic and Great Western railroad, between
this city dayton and Cleveland, related to
us. Yesterday. strange item about far
mer who prevented a terrible disaster from
occurring on that road, near Mansfield,
Ohio, at tie time of the recent general
freshet. We had before seen paragraph
relating to the singular affair." Mr.. Rob
ertson conyersed with the farmer, and here
is the story in short:
The farmer, Pennylvanian, went to-
bed during the heavy and prostrated storm
on Monday night, and dreaming that the
fill across chasm some hundred feet deep
had given way under a passenger train, and
and let it down in the abyss, he sprBg up
to render assistance to the passenger, ran to
the door, and was Fastening frcm his house,
when his wife awenkened him. He related
his dream and went to bed again, but Sept
little more during the night. TIE dream
made such deep impression upon his mind
that he fastened TO the chasm the next
morning to see what condition it was in; but
the road was apparently all right. although
the water was pouring and surging through
the culvert beneath as though it would wash
the earth away Tuesday night the farmer
could notrest for thinking about his dream
of the preceding night, and getting up he
procured his lantern and hurried off to the
chasm. When he arrived there he found
to his terror, that the huge fill had been
washed out, leaving nothing but the unsup.
ported ties and track over the chasm
Hearing ,he train laundering toward des
trrction me- FORMER clambering across the
dreadful break, and running down the roac
some distance, he sighalled the approaching
train to stop And SO short was the tim,
that by the time the engineer was able tt
"hold up, the er gine was but few fee
from the chasm. +,
The train was large, and was filed will
persons who had been to the great Uniol
meeting at Mansfield. What narrcy
escape they all made from horrible death
For the train would have plunged down tn

all to death in ruins. The passenger a
once evinced their gratitude to their preser
yer, the Pennsylvania, by making him VI
handsome sum of money.

a MILLION }RTE SpINsIER IN TROUBLE.
Miss l1ctty II RubinSon, the aged spinster
worth Eve wiIions, who last y II instituted
proceedings to break her aunt llowland's $
will, and got two millions ore at the ex-
pcnse OF certain charities named therein,
has got herself into trouble, aud won't get
out Of it easy. The affair is being examined
by a Commissioner at New Bedford, Massa-
chusetts. and not much information has
leaked out as yet, but the Standard says
there is bad forgery involved. Miss Rob-
inson claims,to break the will under an al
legged contract with her aunt that neither
should marry, and chat the survivor should
be sole heir to the other. The contestant
has recently put into the case duplicate
copy Of the contract, it is supposed, to
create the impression that both copies were
executed at the same time, and one retained
by each of the parties. Experts stated on,
oGth, last week, that the signatures of Syl-
via Ann IIowland to the two contracts were
traced tlroug the paper from that on the
will and series Of careful measurements
show the the hre.signatutes to be indentl-
cal to the incest particular Rumor further
has it that Miss lIptty has attempted to
Irihe the Commissioner, and that overtures
were even extended to one Of the Justices
Of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. -
If IIetty dusn't serve her term IN State
Prison she will come short OF her deserts.

misery of what was once the fourlshing in

more wretched Midnapore and distant Oris-

fifty famine stricken wretches day seek

late as the 9th Of July last, the Bengal gov
eminent a second time refused to encourage
the formation Of Public Relief Committee,
