0d ~, .

Nkw YoRk, April I5.
One OF the most terrible disasters ON
record occurred early this morning, six
teen miles West Of Port Jervis, on the
New York and Erie Railroad. A train
of passenger cars was thrown of the
track by the breaking Gf = rail, and
precipitGed down an embsnkment.-
Thirteen dead boIies are at Port yeryis

at the Port Jervis hotels. Two more

One Of the cars, the least broken OF

changes which have been made at
these Springs, preparatory TO the
opening for the season. The grounds
are now quite attractive, and are be-
coming very popular place of resort.
They are daily the resort Of numbers
of our best families, parties of ladies
and gentlemen and their children,
who take this pleasant method of
spending a delightful day in the coun-
try, on the fine grounds which sur
round the Springs. Col. Wehler. the
courteous and attentive superintend-

good order and responsibility of the
establishment, and does everything
possible to make it a popular water
ing place. Next week the bathing
house will be ready for use, which
will add materially to its attractions.

IMPROVEMENT OF LITTLE WABASH.
The meeting at the Court House
last night, to consider the best method
of raising additional money to COM
plete the contemplated work of i'm
proving the navigation of Little Wa
bash River, was very SHINY attended,
and. like most public meetings held in
this city, resulted in no definite
action. Col. Crebs laid before the
meeting in. a succinet and plain
manner, the wants of the corporation
Ito wit: $4,000 to complete the
work, and the advantages to this city
to be derived from its completion.
| They expect a railroad through their
county By the 1st Of January next,
leading to Cincinnati. The people Of
Carmi and adjacent regions, however,
desire to trade here, deeming it to
their interests to do SO. II, however,
they cannot have. easy Communication
with this city, and have better facili-
ties for going elsewhere, they will go
elseyhere. The proposed improve
ment will open up to the trade Of this
city several Of the finest counties in
Southern Illinois. to-wit: White,
Wayne, Clay, Edwards, Hamilton,
Gallatin and Saline.
They have a large amount of tim
Der and iron already prepared, but
lack the means to go forward. He
also exhibited maps, profles and
plans of the river and the proposed
dam and locks.
Col. Hollingsworth proposed that
the delegates from Carmi be escorted
by some of our business men through
the city to-day, to visit the merchants
and business men with view to rails
I ing the required funds. Several gen
tlemen who have already subscribed
to the enterprise. expressed their
willingness to increase their subscrip
ton. VIM. Heilman, with a charac-
teristic display Of public spiritedness,
declared his Willingness to double his
subscription, and Mr. Nisbett, on be-
halt of Mackey. Nisbett & Co., ex-
pressed like liberal disposition, as
did one or two others. The meeting
then adjourned.
The enterprise is one that com
mends itself directly to the packets Of
our merchants and manufacturers. 1t
is simply a question whether an out
lay of $4,000 to secure to them the
rich trade of the countries above
named, will be a good Investment.
On this subject there can scarcely be
two opinions. We hope our mer-
chants and business men will respond
| literally when called on to-day.
