tree and ravished her, keeping her there
for three days On the second day, while
still tied to the tree, she gave birth to a
child. On the third day the husband of
the unfortunate woman not inding her at
the neiebors, but discovering her horse
where the negro had left it tied, collected
some of his friends aud began a search,
which resulted in finding her dead body
tied to the tree, the negro having murdered
her by blows upon the head with a club
The murderer was soon afterward captur-
ed by a party of negroes who were assist
ing in the search. At the husbands re
quest the negroes built two log heaps,
and setting them on fire, placed the negro
between them. They were "a hours
burning him, and ut intervals subjected
him to horrible torture, such as cutting
off his toes and strips from his body.

A frishtful railroad accident occurred
on the Stoningtou and Providence Rail
road early on Saturday morning. The
nighttime from New York was raining
eastward at great speed, long before day
light, when a bridge over the Pawcatuck
river broke downunder its weight. The
bridge had been much injured by high
water, and its condition seems not to have
been known to the off cers of the road
The engine and Eve Or six ears plunged
beadlong into the chasm. As the cars
crashed in one after another they took
fire from the overturned stoves, and those
not covered with water were consumed
The engineer and fireman were killed at
their posts. Ten or twelve of the pes
sengcrs were killed or burned to death,
and a much larger number were wound
ed. There were several baggage cars IN
front of the train, which prevented great
err destruction. The first cause of the
accident was the apparent neglect Of the
railroad company, 10 not looking after the
safety of the bridge, which WAS in a
perilous situatiou. The burning Of the
cars admits of no excuse, aud it is a hor-
ror for which the road is directly re
sponsiblc. 1t las grown to be an invari
able accompaniment OF every winter rail
road catastrophe.
