FATAL ACCIDENT-Two MEN CRUSHED TO
DEATH BENEATH RAHRoAD TRAIss.-About
6 o'clock Wednesday night, as the special arain
on the r. & N. A. Railway, having ON boerd
the "pickaxe brigade, was nearing ''Tomah,"
about 100 miles from this city, and rounding
curve, horse sprang upon the track pulling
with him man who was endeavoring to hold
him back. They were Immediately in front of
the engine, which although it was Instantly re-
versed by the engineer, struck and ran over
them. The train was stopped as soon as posi-
BILE and the unfortunate man was taken out
from under the cars. His head was terribly
cut and bruised, his skull fractured and his
limbs crushed, yet he lived until nearly nine
o'clock His name was Clarence and he be-
longed in st. Croix. He was in the employ of
Mr.. Jones of that place, hauling wood to the
railway, and was unloading sled load when
the train came up. The horse was frightened
and started to run; he tried to stop the animsl,
but was taken by the unmanageable beast di-
rectly in front of the train and met his death
as above stated. Clarence was unmarried and
had no relatives in this vicinity; his employer
therefore took charge of the remains and gave
them decent burial
Yesterday afternoon about half-past five
o'clock, man named Driscoll in attempting
to jump aboard the train on the N. b. & G.

Calais, fell upon the track and the ''flanger''

THE following letter is from one of the first
young ladies in Falmouth, her age is 10: -
To the Editors of the Portland Transcript: My
health had been failing for nearly two years when
began using DIR. Morses medicines. had been
confined to the house and to, my bed part of
the time for several months, suffering much
pain and distress through nv lungs with great
loss of flesh and strength, with many symptoms
of consumption. was obliged to be bolstered
up with more or less pillows every night, so
great was the distress and difficulty in breathing.
Every thing sdone that loving friends and kind
physicians could do for me, but failed so rap
idly that at the end of July, 1870, could sit up
only a few minutes at a time, but had to be
bolstered up to almost sitting posture all the
time as 1 could not lie down at all At the re-
quest OF my brother then wrote to DR.. Morse
describing my case, and he, without seeing me-
sent me such remedies as he saw fit, which 1
took according to directions, and in two weeks
from that time rode into Portland, (six
miles) to see him, when he pronounced my
lungs in bad condition, and began using his
them only too aoeeks, could lie down with
almost perfect ease, and haze been able to do so
eUer since. For some months was great suffer-
er from spasms or commissions, and would some
times be entirely unconscious for a long time.
1t was thought could never live through an
other one. Far three or four years had very
severe headaches, which nothing would relieve;
they became more frequent and so alarming
that both my friends and myself began to fear
for my reason, have had none of those head
aches, or spasms since 1 began using DR..
Morse remedies. now feel well and strong.
Think can truly say am once more in almost
perfect health, for which shall ever thank and
bless kind DR.. Morse 1 feel that he has, with
Gods blessing been the means of saving my
life. With Respect, CLARA JORDAN.
Falmouth Me-, March, 1872. .
l wish simply to state that my sisters account
of her i'll health and rapid recovery is not exag-
gerated in the least. Never in my ife.have
seen remedies prove so effectual in assisting
and removing disease, as those which she has
used while under DR.. Morse's treatment. We
truly feel that we owe the preservation of her
life to him, and for which he has our deepest
gratitude. Yours etc.,
