RAILROAD AGCIDENT.-Yesterd afternoon
about six o'clock, Timothy McKenna was run
over by the cars at the Green street crossing,
and injured so badly that he died at ten O'Clock
in the evening. He was driving along the street
in a light express wagon, and although warned
back by the flag man, he kept along, either
thinking that he could cross before the train
approached, or not seeing the signal. The train
was running slowly, being switched from the side
to the main track at the time. The engine
struck the wagon about in the centre, throwing
the horse dow2 and the driver directly under
the wheels, which passed over both his legs
mangling them in Shocking manner. The
horse escaped uninjured, although the wagon
was badly broken The unfortunate man was
taken to the city hospital, and remained m an
unconscious state up to a late hour last evening.
No attempt was made to amputate the ipiurcd
limbs, as there was no hope of saving the na.
iipnts life.

Mr.. II. P. NICHOLS The directors of the
Boston and Albany railroad, at their meeting
in Springfield on Thursday, accepted the resig.
nation of Mr., A. FIRTH assistant superintendent,
and unanimously chose as his successor Alr H.
z. Nichols, who has long been the agent Of the
road in this city. This promotion, well deserved
as all who know him will at once pronounce it.,
came to Mr.. Nichols without solicitation from
him, and, we believe without his knowledge
that 1t was contemplated. Mr.. Nichols conncc-
ton with the railroad began about twenty-five
years ago, when he was appointed sta
tion agent at Hinsdale, and in the
several positions he has occupied since
he has always been faithful efficient and cOur-
teous We understand that he will accept the
appointment, and will consequently remove TO
Boston, where his new duties lie. His friends,
and they include all who have had business or
social relations with him here, will regret thar
Worcester is to lose so good as citizen, while
they congratulate him upon his advancement ITO
Il higher post, where his experience and eff
cheney in railroad business will be more valuable
and more adequately rewarded.

AT the recent flood in Sacramento
the water was higher by several
inches than in the great flood Of
1862.
Monterey, Cal, on the 3lst ult.
was visited by one Of the most ter
rifle storms known to the Oldest in-
habitant. About sundown it COM
menced to rainS Sand in al hour and
q halfthe streets were three feet and
a half under water. Store and
dwelling houses were flooded, stock
drowned and houses carried away.
For a time great excitement pre-
vailed. Many families fled to the
high ground back of town, and in
some cases reached the high ground
with difficulty. Water was two
feet higher than in the flood OF 1868.
1t is estimated that in one hour siS
inches of rain fell.
From the Portland Oregonida
We read that in consequence ofsomc
criticisms which have recently ap-
peared in the Bulletin, upon Mr..
Pennoyer,, he, on Wednesday of
last week, at the book sale at Rich
ardson & Gilman's, went up to
Mr.. O'Mera, whose face was turned
away, put his hand Oh his shoulder,
spoke to him, and as the latter
turned around, attempted to spit in
his face, aiming at the same instant
a blow with a cane at Mr.. O'NIera,
who was entirely unprepared for
such a cowardly attack. The latter,
warded off the blow with
bis arm, and avoiding the ncxtblow,
drew a derringer and covered his
antagonist. Pennoyer might have
been in the happy hunting grounds
now, had not some one seized
O'Afera's hand and prevented him
from shooting. The affair created
considerable excitement asa large
crowd was present.
