A SINGULAR ACCIDENT On the
evening of October 3lst, locomotive No. Al, p.
h. r.. with no cars attached to Il, was standing
at Gallitzln station. The engineer had dlsmount-
ed to oil the outer machinery Of the locomotive
and the fireman was also away from his post. A
train coming westward through the tunnel struck
No. A. with an almost imperceptible shock yet
small as II was, it had the effect of throwing wide
open the valve Of tho locomotive, and No. a.
with no human agency to govern its motions
started westward, adown grade Of eighty feet to
the mile. Its momentum, increased mile by mile,
can he better lima gncd than described.
Immedm,ey in front Of the National Hotel at
Lilly's station, six miles from where II started on
its eccentric race, No. AZ came in contact with
locomotive No. 1871, which was hauling the fourth
Cincinnati Express. The former was running at
n .ats sr speed ~L.sh s....t no astinnatod and
the latter wac making about SIX miles an hour
The result was u terrible wreck. Both locomotives
were sm mashed to atoms, and number OF ears were
broken up. The locomotives were absolutely telc-
seoped. aud In fashinn attempted to climb one
over the other. Notwithstanding the terrible
smash, nobody wss hurt. The fireman Of No. 1871
Jumped OF bis looomo otive and sustained injuries,
and the nginecr, Joe Henderson, who formerly
resided in this town, remained on the locomotive,
with bis band on the throti,e-yalvc, and escaped
without a scratch. So soon as the runaway engns
had left Galtzin telegram was sent to Cressln
to intercept 1t and run Il of tho track, but de-
lay In the transmission Of the message su1iccd to
allow Il to pass the latter station before the idea
could be accomplished. All In all, II was most
singular mishap, aud has only its parallel 10 that
celebrated accident where runaway passenger
train went downward along the identical same
slope Of road and struck Powell sharp's train al

large deposits Of iron ore in this nsighborhood.
There are different kinds Of ore, found in veins OF

Is one Of the richest in minerals in the State. The

A LOafer's SOliIOquy.


Seth Grimes and were classmates once
And was rich, and he was poor;
| had alas, it was my bane-
The wealth a father laid in store.
Seth toiled at morn, and noon, and night,
Until his hands were hard and brown,
To pay his board and tailor's bills,
While was lounging' round the town.
But mostly in the dry goods store,
To see the pretty girls come in,
Or smoking with my jolly yeers,
Who were the fools of auld lang syne
The village bellies looked proud and fierce
If Seth made cen the least advance;
And none, from Inez down TO Poll,
Would be his partner at the dance.
But l, half drunk with sparkling port,
Waltzed with the fairest of the fair:
And high-born Inez's proud papa
Once asked what my intentions were.
Thus stood Seth Grimes and at school;
And yet ON exhibition day,
Although the ladies' praised me much,
He somehow bore the prize away.
In brief, through Hong and weary nights,
He stored his mind with knowledge rare,
And Learned how to guz2le wine,
And how to pick good cigar.
Some three and thirty years have passed
Since we on life's great sea set sail
And 10 the beam is sadly turnel
In Fortunes strange. uneven scale.
My Wanted wealth has taken wings
And flown away to ptr:s unknown:
Indeed, with sorrow be it said
I'm on the poor list of the town.
While Seth, who toiled to pay his way,
Until his hands we're hard and brown,
Is now receiving his reward
As Senator at Washington.
