The Saturday night express train over the
Rutland division Of the Vermont Central
Railway, due in Rutland at about midnight,
} met with a serious accident lust north Of
, Vergenncs. While passing over a narrow
= culvert at the rate Of about 80 miles per
hour, the engineer felt jar. The locomotive,
however, crossed in safety, but no sooner
was it over than the culyert fell in, making
a complete wreck of the train, consisting of
a baggage ear, New York coach, and sleep
ing ear, and Boston coach and sleeping car
Strange to say, only one person, a brakeman,
was seriously injured, although all of the
passengers were badly shaken up.
There is something more than daily fer.
~ now between Europe and America. In
/ fact the rate Is something like steamer for
every twelve hours from the port OF Liver
pool alone. During the month Of May, fifty
three steamships left the Mersey. of which
thirtv-four came u New York, eight TO BDs-
ton eight q Quebec and Montreal and three
to Halifax. Norfolk and Baltimore. Seven
teen Of these belong 20 the Cunard Company,
eleven 10 the Iuman, i've q the W hItc star,
ten to the Allan, aud six 70 the Gui0u Com
4. pany respectively. When To these are added
the ships Of the French and German lines,
we yet some idea OF the prodigIous increase
of late In steam communication between the
continents More than -, 900 persons were
brought q America from Liverpool alone
during May-au increase Of nearly five
thousand over the number Tor May ISL,
and a total increase since January, over the
corresponding period last year. OF eighteen
thousand. These figures are fun OF sIguif-
