A MARROW EscAPE.-On Thursday morning
last DR.. r. S. Hamilton of this city was very
near meeting with serious, if not fatal, acct
dent. He ventured to get upon the freight train
when it was in motion. It was moving faster
than he supposed. He caught hold with his
hands and had sufficient presence of mind to
maintain his hold whilst being dragged along,
till several men came 20 his rescue, and pulled
him up on the car. He made quite a narrow es-
cape, and it will be long time, we venture to
predict, before he will again attempt to board a
train whilst in motion.
