Serious Accident.

As the four o'clock tonnage trains
were coming West. on Monday evening,
a drunken man was found Keeling
across the bridge that spans New
creek, at this place As he showed no
dis position to get off the track the
engineer began TO give series OF quick
successive blasts OF the whistle, but on
account of tie overdose of benzine, he
either did not hear the whistle, or was
totally reckless OF his te. and the en-
CINE running at rapid speed struck
him in the back, hurled him against
the pilot and from that over the bridge
into the creek, a distance oftweBty feet.
As the unfortunate man fell from the
engine one of his feet caught between
the cross ties and for moment he
hung suspended over the water. lie
had scarcely touched tire water before
a half dozen OF our citizens we're on the
spot, and dragged him out OF it. lie,
was insensible, his head cut aud bleed
ing one OF his legs below the knee ground
iato pieces, and his back badly hurt.
DR.. A. Gerslell and sons, were called
and rendered all the medical assistance
possible, and that same evening lis leg
wa amputated by Robert Gerstell, as
sisted by his brother Richard and his
father. This is the first operation per-
formed by our Young friend, and We are
pleased 10 say that he has the credit OF

Ro,d Burglary and Attempted MUIR
der-Arrest ofthe Criminals.
! On FrinaY evening last a. bold bur-
glary and attempted murder took place
at the residence Of Mt. g George Nv.
Ritlet, tax collector of the First ward,
Erie. The burglars ,eptsred the prem
Uses by climbing over the fence at the
rear end Of the lot, and forcing open
the kitchen window. This did not
give them entrance, however, TO the
main portion of the building. Trey
returned, therefore. apd forced open q
window on the east side .Of'the. house,
and propped it up With a stick. and by
this means succeeded in getting into
the house. Adjoining this room was
sitting room and next to 1t the bed
room OF Mr.. and Mrs. Riblet. They
were both awakened by the footsteps,
h and while Mrs. Riblet went to the
front window and cried murder, her
husband started towards the room
where the thieves had entered, As
soon az the burglars saw him one Of
them pointed a pistol directly at his
head and fred. But seeing that the
shot had not accomplished its murder
GUS object. be turned and fled;
Search was Immediately made and
behind the fence where the thieves
had entered a pair OF wel.made boots
were found, and also a pair Of shoes
with lrggiugs attached, which were
taken to the police office. The bullet
which was fired at Mr.. Riblet was
found buried an inch deep in the case
ment of the door, and must have passed
within hairs breadth Of his body. It,
was found that nothing had been taken
from the house. The captured boots
and shoes proved important adjuncts to
the police, who were led by them TO
suspect two individuals, and search tor
them was Immediately made. In an
old brick barn, in the outs klrts Of the
CITY, one OF the men was found early
on Saturday morning. A young man
named Samuel Morton, and three boys
were found lying on the hay. Morton
was dressed but had no boots on. He
was taken to the lookup. The search
was continued for the other party in
the transaction, and late in the day a
man named William Jones was found
in bed and it was noticed that his
socks were sandy. He also was taken.
to the police station, and after hear
ing were both fully convicted as being
the parties concerned in the burglary.
They were committed to Jail for trial.

illustration Of what railroads do. We
have heard men say that they had no

the river or the turnpike afforded tran

this country has shown that trade

French Affairs.

In France Che prospect grows dali
ly gloomier. It is now no longer de-
MED that we have anticipated for
some time-tl!e attempt Of each fac
ton to enlist the army i'll its sevice
has begun. Leyitimists, Orlcan-
lists, Reds, and 1mperialists are all
active and hopeful, all regard the
actual regrime as transitory and in-
tolcrablc, all despair of meniiug it
by an appeal to the country, and
all Ike to put an end to it by a col,
ddot, which they wish to get the
army to perform. The result is that
they are tamper;i1g with the officers,
and with the most prejuaicial effects
on the discipline Of the troops, but
none of them, it is said, has rs yet
succeeded in securing any General.
Ii it we've not that the army is com
manaed by q IMAM Of singular purity
Of character and single-minf'ness,
Marshal iIacNIahon, the mischief
done already would probably be
greater than it is. The Orleans;
Princes are, in the meantime, COIL
t!ucting themselves with great discse-
ton. The D1c d'Aumale receives
men Of all parties at his house, and
the Prince &c Joinville goes back to
his old profession as all admiral i'll
the nav, a position which he filled
twenty-four years ago with the high
est credit. The bill providing gov
ernmcnt i'll case Of a coup d'etat, has
passed the Assembly by large ma
iority. 1t makes it incumbent on
thc Councils General to send two
delegates each to whatever town Of
France the regularly constituted &',-
thorities may have fed from the cap
ital, and these delegates are to form
the lawful leg:sllture.
