I Railroad Accident.

Yesterday a runotf occurred at
Brinkley's trestle, on the Little Rock
railroad, which run-of delayed the train
temporarily. The freight train was 60
ing west when the accident occurred.
The cause of the accident is unknown,
but is supposed to be owing to a brake
falling, or by wrecking car which was
being hauled over the road. Eight cars
we're detached. The trestle was injured,
the stringers snd caps being knocked
off. No person received an injury.
Passengers over the road will be trans
ferred at Brinkley's today, but by to-
morrow all will be clear, and trains will
60 through as usual The General Su-
perintendent, A. S. Livermore, has
placed the road bed and rolling stock in
fine order, SO that passengers are trans
ferred to and from the City of Roses in
a most comfortable manner.

RECLAIMED. Saturday week an old gen.
tlcman trOm the Eastern Shore Of Virginia,
named Williams, passed down the Delaware
railroad, on his way hoIne, with his young
daughter, whom he had found after an anxious
search of FIVE months, in Philadelphia. The
story of this young girl, an only child of IT
years, is u sad one. Sometime last October
sewing machine agent named Hopkins, made
the acquaintance Of Mr. W.'s family, and his
daughter. An intimacy sprung up between
the agent and the latter, which the father at
once tried to check by denying 70 Hopkins the
hospitalities of bis house. In about three
weeks from that time the gay and pretty girl
elOp.d with Hopkins, leaving home Of com
inrt, IT not luxury, 20 she knew not whittier.
The anxious father and friends have been on
the search ever since, until the time above
named, whsn the object of his affection was
found in house of III fame in Philadelphia.
Her statement is that Hopkins took her to the
house where she was found, telling her the
inmates were his relatives, and once there she
was ashamed TO reveal her whereabouts to her
friends, and had to share the lot of those
around her. (?) The Seaford Citizen, from
which wa condsnsc this statement, further
says that Hopkins. in the meantime, had stolen
sone $40 from her, besides her jewslry, &c.
aud abscOnded.

;, BISHOP CUMMINs's SYMPATHIsERs AT
HoME-We End the following item or some
thing similar going the rounds of our State
papers about Bishop Cummins:
Although the Bishop deserves great deal
OF credit for the manly independence exhibited
III the refusal to be governed by church for
mallties, yet his connections here are emphati-
cnlly opposed 10 his movement. and are what
are generally known as High Church men,"
The item eminates from correspondent oi
this town to the Milford Neo0s. To say that
the relatives OF the Bishop here are High
ChurchmsD, in the face OF what is so univer-
sally know to the contrary, shows the utmost
carelessnsss in newspaper psrsgraphinG. And
to say that they are opposing the Bishop i,
equally false. Only recently, ~ we happer
to know, a substantial token of esteem wa,
rendered him by those of his kindred here
and some of them are sufficiently Out~poke eu
in their sympathy with his movement as tC
preclude any misconstruction OF their views.
