The RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR LIBERTY
The Bedford Neacs gives the following &C.
count of this accident:
The sleepipg-car attached to the eastern.
bound passenger train of the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad, Which Ieit here Wed
ne>day morning little behind time, went
off The track just lelow Little Otter bridge,
severely wounding seven or eight persons,
and probably fatally lnjurng two others,
The accident was caused by the breaking
OF rail, which was run through the bottom
of the car, breaking it loose from the others
and throwing it down high embankment'
The only wonder is that all in the car were
not instantly killed. One gentleman was
caught between the stove and the end Of
the car by the iron rail, and strange to say,
escaped uuhurt, the stove protecting him
The wounded were removed from the
wrecked car, placed in another, and carried
to Lynchburg. We did not learn the name;
OF the Injured parties.

A TERRIBLE HAIL STORM,
Great Destruction Of Property.
Crops, Trees and Fences De.
strOyed.

NBw YORK, July 27.-Reports Of the
very destructive hail storm that passed
last week over portions of Sullivan
county, in this State, and Wayne and
Pike counties in Pennsylvania, are just
coming in. In Sullivan county the
towns Of Momakating, Thompson, For
estburg and Bethel suffered severely
by the storm, which was accompanied
with terrific thunder and lightning and
very high winds. Trees were blown
down, crops cut to the earth, and two
or three barns struck by Lightning.
Considerable wheat and rye still uncut
was totally destroyed. The corn crop
has been seriously affected, and as the
drouth of the early summer had rem
dered the hay crop very light, the pros
poets confronting the farmers of the
country is anything but cheering. 1t is
even considered doubtful whether half
the stock of the country can be winter
ed. In Wayne county, Pa, the storm
was very violent, the ground in many
places being covered from one to two
inches with hail stones. In Damascus,
corn, oats and buckwheat were serious
ly injured Some fields of corn have
been totally destroyed. Hail stones Of
extraordinary size demolished windows,
fruit and gardens, as we'll as crops.
Three barns were struck by lightning,
all Of them being just filled with new
grain and hay. Some farmers estimate
their damage at from $500 to $4,000.
Two bridges were also blown down in
the northern part Of the county. In
Sussex county, New Jersey, the storm
seems to have been very destructive. In
the vicenity of Andover hail stones fell
in immense quantities, and lay on the
ground in piles several inches deep
after the storm had ceased. Sleigh
riding was possible from Freedom to
Anderson Hill. The storm made a
complete sweep, cutting the corn and
oats to pieces, leaving the corn mere
stalks and stubble entirely stripped Of
leaves. The fruits and gardens re-
ceived lasting injuries. and the damage
to farmers was very great. Jason
Wickham's barn, near Colville, was
struck by lightning and entirely de-
stroyed. The loss was S45OO, indie
pendent OF contents. The scene on the
track of the storm after it had passed
was fearful. Fences down, fields Of
grain riddled, windows demolished,
branches of trees and debris Of all
kinds, formed discouraging sight to
the farmer. Up on the Erie railroad,
north of Marrowsburg, the storm did
great damage to property Of all kinds.

ONE OF the most airy roosters known
out West, says a correspondent, is John
Shreve, one OF the division repairers on
the Union Pacific railroad He is
noted for two things-his overbearing
disposition and his enormous feet. One
day he was standing near a turn-table
where some men were at work, when
Jimmy Duffy, an Irish wag recently
from the East, approached him, and
the following dialogue took place
Can We give me the time, Mr.. Shrevey
THE time, you impu lent rascal :! ex-
claimed Shreve, scorniully, what
business have you to ask questions OF
your superiors? 81 beg your pardon,
sir said Jimmy, "but seeing your wor-
ship wore watch, and wishing. to know
the time, ] thought it no harm to in
ouire." Shreve was Modified by Jimmys
flattery and drew out his watch, and to
the astonishment ofall present who had
expected to see Duffy knocked down for
his temerity, informed the interrogation
that il wanted two minutes Of twelve
o'clock. Thank you, sill" said Duffy;
adding with a malicious grin, his eyes
bent on his superior feet, "ifye will be
50 kind, Shrevey dear, a. TO step on the
turn-table ! will move around your
hoofs so ye can 90 to dinner. AT last
accounts Jimmy was out Of a situation
and was on the lookout for some one
who could lend him sufficient money to
"get across the plains, en- route for home.

Senator Clayton.

Copies of the evidence on which SEN
ator Clayton, Of Arkansas, was indicted
by the United States Court for violating
the election law OF Congress, and for
which the President removed the Mar
shal and District Attorney as soon as
they attempted to prosecute the indict-
meut, has been received by the Ku-
Klux committee and other officials.
The summons which were issued for
the deposed Marshal and Attorney to
appear before this committee have never
been answered, for some unexplained
reason. What makes it still more
singular is the fact that two weeks ago
they were published in the Republican
papers as being in Washington,
though the committee failed, by diligent
search, to find them.
