The acci,lrnt was caused by tho hind
OF the coach next to the last car running
off the track after passing over tho
treslle-w"rk and curve in tho road at
Jerseys Run, two miles from Albany
Station aud eight niles from the Whito
Sulphur Springs. The train was run.
Dlng at the rate of only SIX miles m
hour and up n very steep grade. Tho
conductor discovered tho car of Tho
track aud pulled the alarm bell, and tho
tram was taken up in q very short space,
but the Car that was of the track had
lost its equilibrium and went over tho
bank.
1t is supposed the accident is tho
result Of the sudden breaking of a wheel,
Tho killed will be transported to Rich.

Paxton and son, who will bo sent to

A UNITED GERMANY.-The Tribune
says: After all, the notable fact of
tho war is not that each side is enthu-
siastic, or that splendid armamcnts
are used, or that all Europe seems
verging upon tho struggle. The no.
table fact is that King William, at
tho Prussian headquarters, commands
tho army Of united Germany. Tho
dream of German philoso piers and
statesmen for century has been 40.
complished by the rudo stroke of
Benedetti's diplomacy in an hour.
The soldiers of Bavaria, Wurtemburg,
md petty German States, that n year
ago would almost as soon have thought
of fighting undor the French tri-oolor
as beneath the Prussian eagles, now
accept tho orders Of the Grown Prince
ns If they were already part Of the
PrussIan nationality. The battles to
90 fought may be lost or won by
Prussia, but tho grand issue Of the
war is already won. German unity,
from tho day that the troops Of the
smaller German Governments were
turned over to King William, was an
accomplished fact.
The New York Herald makes the
following truthful comments upon tho
result in North Carolina:
"Governor Holden's administra.
tion is decided failure too much of
the State legislation was for the bene-
fit Of a particular race, instead Of
people; and in every department
affairs had become SO muddled that
any change would DO for the better.
The Republican party will do we'll to
hood the lesson taught by the North
Carolina election. Unless it speedily
cuts loose from tho narrow. minded,
corrupt, fanatioal leaders which have
brought it to the verge OF ruin, other
ia dical States will ns unexpectedly
wheel into the Democratic lire, and
that party again be In the ast eden.

A most singular will has just been
opened in Venice. A. rich old baohe.
lor has bequoathcd his entire fortupo
to o relative, o very pretty young
lady nineteen years of age, and not
left shilling to all bis nearer rela~
tions. 50 far there is nothing siDgu-
lar about il. But it happened, that
the testator had been endowed by ma.
ture with a fearful hump on his back
and clump foot. Now he puts the
condition that she must marry man
endowed with similar ornaments II
she wishes to touch the estate. The
rightful boirs are contesting tho va
lidity Of the will, saying that no sane
