a NEW SENSATION,

The Albany Times gives the following
account of burning railroad bridge, a
terrified engineer and anarrow escape:
''Any one who has passed over the Bos-
ton and Albany Railroad will remember
the sharp curves and deep cuts in which
that route abounds in the vicinity of Chat
ham. Last Saturday evening, as Conductor
Russels train was laundering on toward
Albany, the engineer observed but little
way ahead what he supposed to be fire by
the side of the track. This being no un
common occurrence he gave it scarce a
thought, until, as the engine rounded a
short curve, he saw to his horror that the
flames came from bridge over which the
train must pass.
cit was moment OF terrible suspense!
Just before, the bridge, which spanned an
abyss OF some fifty feet, but was without
sides or cover was cracking in flames. No
earthly power could check the train in time
to prevent the disaster which seemed newt
able. Nothing was left but resignation to
the DEGREES of tate. The locomotive with
its frightened engineer, the train with its
unconscious passengers, rushed on and for
tunately passed in safety, the burning tim
bers being still strong enough to sustain
the passing train.
"What the result would have been had
the passage been attempted ten minutes
later is fearful to contemplate, as on exam
ination the main supports of the bridge
were found to be much weakened and the
fire making rapid progress"

Death of a weiI-known citizen.

1t will be sad news to many of our readers
to hear of the death Of Frank 81. Cunning
ham, who died yesterday evening at z
O'Clock from that dread disease consump-
ton. Mr.. Cunningham for long period
had been engaged as book-keeper for Sim
mons s. Phillips, well-known contractors,
and continued in that position until serious
illness prevented. By his kindness of heart
and agreeable manners, he became endeared
to all with whom be associated. His heart
was fountain of goodness and gentleness,
and he was ever foremost in putting on foot
some charitable movement for the relief of
his fellow-man. His remains viii be re-
moved from his residence in Edgefeld this
afternoon to the Cathedral, where his fu-
neral will take place, notice of which is pub
lished elsewhere.

NOVEL SUIT FOR DAMAGES.

We understand that most singular case
is about to be instituted by one of our well
known citizens against merchant, for
damages in causing the death of his wife,
and setting damages at $4,000. 1t appears
that the merchant, who is dealer in drugs,
was in the habit of selling to the wife of
the merchant referred to, laudanum for per.
sonal use, in clandestine manner; that the
wife, on one occasion, took dose of said
laudanum, which was the immediate cause
of her death. Previous to the woman be-
coming addicted to the use of the drug, she
was healthy, intelligent, and happy wo-
man, a loving wife, doting parent, and
industrious helpmate. The husband claims
that through the influence of the drug, his
wife lost her health, she became depressed
in spirits, and death followed, causing des-
olation in his home and sorrow in his heart.
Believing that all this was produced through
the sale Of the drug, he claims damages
from the seller, on the ground that he
knowingly sold the poisonous article, fully
aware of its disastrous effects on the woman
in questiOn.-ALbGlly Knickerbocker,

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A weII-knOwn Citizen Badly Injured.

An ugly accident occurred early yester-
day morning, by which our weh-knoWn
and estimable citizen Phineas Garrett, Esq,
received injuries which will probably lane
him f6r life. Mr.. Garrett was agent for one
Of the stores unoccupied in the Union and
American block, in the rear of which there
was platform that spanned the alley De-
tween that block and the adjoining house,
fronting on Church street. On that plat
form, ashes taken out of the store by a
former tenant had been piled up, and the at
tentiOn of the sanitary police had been at
tracted to the same, who had notified the
agent to have the filth removed. 1t was
this summons that called Mr.. Garrett to the
building yesterday morning. Stepping out
on the platform, he had only been standing
there for moment, when the rotten timbers
gave way, and he was precipitated about II
feet to the pavement below, and was bu-
ried beneath the debris. A gentleman who
was near by when the accident occurred,
ran to his assistance, and extricated him
from the timbers and trash which covered
him. He was placed in hack and taken
to the office Of physician near by, when
it was ascertained that Mr.. Garrett had
broken his knee cap in three places. These
injuries will keep him confined for several
months, and it is more than probable that
he will be famed for life. There is no man
in the community better known than Mr..
Garrett, and in his injuries will receive the
sympathies of host of friends.

Onern HOnsa.

The comedy of GAN that Glitters" was
very well played last night, and created
much interest. Miss Katie Estelle made
most delightful "Martha Gibbs" and all the
rest of the characters were ably sustained
by Annie Seaman and Laura Gleason, and
Messrs. Johnson, Brydon, Caulfeld and
Clarke. By request the same programme
will be produced tonight. Mr.. Carpenters
orchestra has been made very efficient by
the addition of Mr. DuerT, very able
pianist. Miss Estelle's benefit is under
lined for tomorrow evening and very
strong bill will be offered her patrons. One
or more well known gentlemen amateurs
will appear on this occasion, and altogether
it will be gala night. As there is already
a great demand for tickets and reserved
seats, parties intending to visit the Opera
House are recommended to secure their
seats beforehand at the box-Ofice to-day
and tomorrow. We understand that next
week the Opesa House Company visit Col
umbla for a few nights, returning to play in
GAINESVILLE and Paducah.
On the occasion of the grand compli-
mentary benefit to Miss Estelle, the Ticket
ofLeave-Man will be produced, and Mr..

cutionary Troupe, viii appear in his great
character of HawkshaW.

Honor to the Memory Of the COnfed-
crate Dead.

The following extract from private let
ter gives an interesting account of the de-
coration of the graves of the Confederate
dead at Columbia, s. c.:
COLUMBIA, S. c., May u, 1672.-Yes-
terday was decoration day, and at o'clock
P. NJ. the stores closed, the church bells be-
gan to toll, aud a procession of all the Con-
federate soldiers in the city was formed,
and each wearing a band of Grape on the
left arm, marched out to Elmwood Gene
terry, beautiful spot. View command
ed by Gems. Hampton and Preston, and
numbered nearly 500. 1t was a sad sight
to see such acrowd, four abreast, with such
sad faces and solemn tread, as we filed into
the enclosure. There the ladies received
us, and nearly all of them were weeping.
The graves of the dead, great many, were
beautifully decorated with flowers. About
1000 people were present. Prayer was Of
fered by the Episcopal minister, who has
three sons buried here, all officers, killed in
battle. As we were marching into the
cemetery, we passed two Federal officers,
who both took off their caps and remained
uncovered until we had passed. l never
saw the day so observed before, and am glad
was here to join in it. 1t was the first
time since the war that any honor has been
shown me because was soldier.

BrOnehitis.-This is an irritation or in
fammation of the bronchial tubes, which
carry the air we breathe into the lungs. It
arises from a cold settled in the throat,
from catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe use
of the voice. The irritation from this lat
ter cause commences in the Largn1 and
glottis, which are the organs Of the voice,
and extending downwards, produces hoarse-
ness, coughing and splitting mucous matter,
sometimes mixed with blood. It is chiefly
dangerous from It's tendency to spread into
the lungs, and terminate in consumption.
it is IN the cure of severe and obstinate
cases of this disease that DIR. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery has achieved unpa-
ralleled success, and won the lOudest praise
from all who have used it. It is sold by all

*Hume.
High.
The discipline in the Howard School is
unsurpassed by that in any of the other
public schools on this continent; and as the
writer of this article has had an oPportuni-
ty to compare that discipline with what he
saw in st. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis,
New York, Boston and other cities, he can
make the assertion confidently, be-
cause the St. Louis, Boston, Chi
Chicago and New York schools are said to
be among the best conducted in the coun-
try, and certainly the amount of money the
Board of Education of those cities have at
their command to make those schools eff
ficent is immense.
The teachers in the Howard school are !:
Primary Department - Principal, Mrs.
Baldwin; Misses Anthony, Doherty, Cot
ton, Herriges, Paul, Armstrong, and Mrs.

burned the insurance collected from the
companies will go towards the liquidation
of the notes Of the party purchasing.
