for home. The end board being cut,
they unloaded the potatoes all along the
road AS they went. Crossing the rail
road track about a mile from this place,
the wagon caught in she rails and tore
one of them from its place. A freight

tbs greatrain fall 10 the West has beer
seriously deplored by tue journals Of
that region, and the destruction Of the
entire corn crop was prophesied. 1t
nov appears, however, that actual
measurements show hat the rain fall in
the West, for June, 1869, was only one
fourth the rain fall in 1868, and one
half the average for the las,'teu years.
In addition to this encouraging intelli-
gence, it is announced that the pleas
ant weather succeeding the rains has
greatly imprsved the prospects Of the
crop, and that the wheat will be ready
for the harvest in two weeks, and that
the corn looks well aud is approaching
maturity very rapidly. From these nc.
counts it would appear that the crops
of the United States are tar from being
ruined, and will probably equal if not
exceed the yield Of ordinary years.

TRAcHEoroMY The Vermont paper,
give au interesting account Of an opera
ton of trscbeotomy performed on n
child about fourteen months old, to re.
lieve it from the effects f o violent
attack Of supposed Group. The relief
was immediate after the wiudpip" had
been opened and a silver tube had been
inserted. In Eve or six weeks the tube
was removed, when the dangerous
symptoms returned, and the tube was
again inserted, but with great difficulty,
in consequence Of the inflammation and
suppura,ion that had s~upervened. The
patient was again relieved, but in a
short time the cause of the trouble was
disclosed by the election Of a fish bone
which had been swallowed and had
lodged in the w~iudpipe. The interest
attached to this case arises principally
from the fact that the operation was
performed on so young n child.

TIE ACCIDENT ON THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD. - From passengers who
reached the city by tn" Overland route
yesterday, we learn some Of the partic'
ulars of the accident which occurred on
the Uuiou Pacific Railroad, near Autel.
ope station, Thursday evening. A
heavy storm of rain had prevailed,
which washed away a portion Of the
track. The engineer OF the passenger
train failed to see the break until it was
too late, aud in consequence the train
plunged into it. The fireman and an.
other person who was riding upon the
tender were almost instantly killed, the
engineer was severely scalded, and sew.
eral Of the passengers received injuries
which will cou6ne them to their beds
for some time. OF these was Wag-
staff, brother.iu.law Of Professor Martin
of Woodland, whose left collar bone
was broken, and also some Of his ribs
on the left side. He came through to

ALL QUIEr on THE HILL.-Quiet reigns
supreme on Treasure Hill. some MINES

demonstration by the Miners Union on

everything seems to have sinmered

mouths in the district, we do not re.
member 10 have seen so few people ns:ir
on the hill as were observable yester.
day. The reverse Of this might reason.
ably be expected, with so many men out
of employment, but it would appear
that tue miners have taken TO the woods,
their cabins aud elsewhere, excepting
on the streets. to await results. We
hear it now rumored, by outsiders prin-
clpally, that the miners will acceda be-
foro long to the terms Of employers ;
but this We consider very doubtful.
