Saturday morning siveral passengers
from this place took the train for GIaston-
bury The train consisted of several
freight cars with passenger car in thu
rear, In which there were already several
passengers. When the train had reached
within mile or SO Of Glastonbury it was
found that the engine could not draw tkt
heavy train up the steep grade neat
kuspp's, aud the brakes were put on g.
After getting more steam the engineer
began 10 back the train 10 get new star
the brakes still on. When the slack wa
taken up, the hindermost freight car
came down with considerable force
against the passenger car. The passen
gers supposed the cars had broken loost
aud would rush pelmell down the noun
tain, so they rushed to the doors, and of
the platform. Mr.. Aldrich jumped from
the car aud called to his daughter TO fol.
low. She did SO, and fell down the bank
upon pile OF huge stones and broke out
beg, Another girl named Mcl4enitheu
was also seriously injured. When tn
train had backed ten or fifteen rods il
stopped. The passengers were all off long
before then. The alarm OF the passenger
WAS justidable, since no signal was giyel
tor the backing Of The train, and they
could not zee beyond the nearest freight
car A person wouId be guilty of suicid,
who should remain In car that had
started rolling down such frighliu
grade.

THACKERAY HUMoR. -Thackcray was not
humorrs., in The sense that Dickens was, nor
wit. in the sense that Jerrold was, but he
now and then said good thing 10 qulet way.
He was pesterea on one occasion, while IN this
country by young gentleman OF an lLqur,og
turp Of mind, as TO what was thought OF this
,ersop and that person in England. MIR:
rhacSerav," he asked. what do they think OF
Tupper?' They d9u't think Of Topper was
the reply Another man OF letters was men,,
,ioucd. and it trauspired that he was addicted
to beer drinking. YES" said Thackcray,
take him for half and half he was a man.
His connection with Frasers's Magazine was
the subject of conversation, aud the right OF an
editor to change the copy" Of his contributors
was discussed. Thackeray maintained that no
such right existed, except as regarded errors OF
grammar, aud declared that tn" only person
who could make alterations for the better was
the author herself; as rule editorial changes
were blunders IL told all editor so ouce and
he did not like ii. Il have no objection to
your putting your hoots on my paragraphs. l
remarked, but decidedly object to your stick
iorgave YOU, of course" Il never thought to
ask" Thackeray and Jerrod used to sit uear
each other at the Punch dinners, and Jcrrold
was inclined TO wraugle, if everything was not
to his liking; but Thackeray would keep the
peace. There's no use 10 our quarreliug, ne
said - for we must meet again next week.
