Railroad Accideut-On Christmas night,
two trains were running near each other,
coming South, when a short distance above
Scales Depot, the foremost train ran off the
track at the bridge and crossed it on the
cross-ties, breaking the bridge badly in seve-
raj places. The train in the rear, not dis
covering the break started over the bridge,
which broke through, preeipitating part Of
the train under the bridge, breaking up four
cars and badly damaging an engine that was
on an open ear. The engineer was badly
scalded; one man had his leg and another
his arm broken. Thisis the fourth accident,
we learn, that has occurred to the road within
sight of Scales DepOtin the past six weeks.
The road has been repaired and the trains
are making their trips as usual
