ACCIDENT on TIE RUTLAND RAILEoAD.
The night express train over this road
for Burlington, Geo. w. Stewart, con-
ductor,) which left Rutland Saturday
morning at o'cl0ck-nearly two hours
late-met with a serious accident just
north of Pittsford Station. The acct
dent was caused by land-slide-part of
the bank of high cut sliding off on TO
the track, taking with it the stump of
an old tree. The locomotive Brattle-
boro, Cornelius Moulton, engineer
struck the stump, showing it on the
track some little distance; but the loco
motive was finally thrown from the
track, almost burying itself in the mud
of the bank, the baggage car passing by
it and down an embankment at the end
of the cut on the opposite side of the
track from where the locomotive went
off. The baggage car was tipped nearly
over, the trucks of the car being cleared
from it. The remainder of the train
three coaches and two sleeping cars
were damaged very little. Fortunately
no one was hurt. The locomotive Is
much damaged. 1t was new one, and
had only been running a short time.
The track was cleared as quickly as pos
siblc, and passengers taken to Burling-
ton by mixed train, which left Rutland

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING i ester
day morning, about ten o'clock, the
usual quiet of our New England Sab
bath was suddenly broken by terrific
clap of thunder. The lightning was I'M
usually vivid, and the report, as the
thunderbOlt struck, was startling in the
extreme. There had been a rain storm
prevailing for some time, accompanied
by distant thunder and lightning, which
was at the time subject of converse
ton and comment, as being somewhat
unusual at this season of the year. But
this particular flash and "bolt
would have been deemed extraordinary
and unusual at any season, in this part
of the country. A gentleman, who was
reading at distance of about a mile
from the United States court house, says
that he observed it coming from the
clouds, not in the ordinary form of such
manifestations, but like ball of fire,
some foot in diameter and although, OF
course, it was instantaneous, he could
trace its course until it struck, with a
startling defamation, the spire of the
Congregational Church, (the first build
ing north of the United States court
house, To the spire was attached a
lightning rod which the electricity
followed down to within some ten or
twelve feet of the ground, where, the
rod being imperfect, it passed into the
wall of the building, tearing out the
brick and making an aperture some two
feet in diameter. Through this open
ing, probably between the outer and
inner walls, it is supposed to have passed
into the basement. Here it is believed to
have found its way to the gas pipe,
splitting open those, or a portion thereof,
in the vestibule, following along the
''main until it had spent It's force.
Contain it is, that nearly every house
within a radius of some hundred rods,
centering at the church, received more
or less of a "shaking up" At the

HALIFAX, April ;.
The inquiry ordered by the Dominion

chapter Of Dominion acts of 1859, and
w uld have the force of an English

but he had received an official telegram
stating that it was on its way, and if all
parties would consent he would go on
at once, and rely On a commission being
received in good time. Mr. Richie,
for the captain, consented, and Capt.
Williams was sworn and testified.
THE DOCTOR SAYS IT Is MTRDER-1nF
WRECK.
The doctor of the ship remains at
Prospect, too sick to be removed. He
is deeply affected, and when speaking
of the disaster calls it murder. This is
hard language, but he could not charac-
terize it as anything else.
The ship still holds together with the
exception of about one hundred feet for
ward 1t is expected that between two
hundred and three hundred bodies will
be found below decks, as a large num-
Der of passengers persisted there. The
bodies are nearly all partially disrobcd,
