HERo1,N OF a RAILROAD CoyDucroR.-A

the Syracuse x Binghampton Railroad performed
a daring feat few days since, by which & fear

at Chenango Forks, NY furnishes the following
particulars

cars and one passenger car, which was hlled
with passengers, was between this station,sn
Whitnev's Point, going II a tolerable high rste
Of speed. when the engineer, William Hardy,
discovered a rail entirely oat Of the track, some
distance ahead. lie Immediately reversed his
locomotive, but upon second thought, determined
to attempt running the train over the place where
the rail was missing. and at once turned on
full head OF steam. The engineer and hremsn,
however did not remain 70 see what success the
experiment would meet with, but jumped oil
the engine, leaving il without any one to control
it, The train bounded over the disconnected
track at a fearful rate of speed, every car re-
tanning its position on the track The danger
ous spot was passed. but, with no one upon the
locomotive TO control its speed, 3 mos, terrible
fate SWaited the train somewhere. Tne state Of
