ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
ST. ALBANs, Vt, Aug 10.
BY train just arrived from Richford
we have the following additional particu-
lars concerning the terrible accident on the
Southwestern railroad The scene of the
disaster is about five miles west of Rich
ford, and two miles north of Abercorn, Z.
@ The train, between North Troy and
Richford, ran over broken rail, the shock
from which aroused all the passengers, but
did not throw any cars from the track, be-
ing seen in time. Every effort was made
to make it up, and the speed was estimated
by the passengers at forty miles an hour
Just before the accident, which occurred at
most half past one, the engineer, on seeing
that the bridge had been carried away,
whslled for brakes and reversed the engine,
but could not stop the train, and he was
found dead in his tracks, 1t seemed that
the sectcnmen had discovered II bridge
carried away over brook near Sutton Flat,
p O., which he tagged but instead of
keeping on his way to the next bridge, but
short distance off, to ascertain its safety,
went back to the station to telegraph to the
approaching train at Abercorn, and found
no operator up.
1t is generally believed that the manage
ment of the road is responsible for the dis
aster. on account of the want of ballastng,
dangerous rate of speed at which the trains
were run, and in the employment of lneill-
cient and poorly paid section men.
AS soon as the news was received here OF
the accident Superintendent Hobart of the
Central Vermont Immediately sent thcil

Remember the Risario combination APP
pears at the Opera House this evening in
one of their grand entertainments. The
troupe embraces n large number of Jolly
fellows and numerous artists of acknow-
lodged reputation. That wonderful phe-
nomenon, J. r. Brown, the mind reader,
is to appear and his exhibitions are said to
be alone well worth the price of admission.
The members of the Blue Stocking base
ball club Of West Rutland will hold a
meeting this evening at the Barnes hail.
All those interested in the welfare of the

The railroad accident which we chron-

is one of the most fearful that ever oc-

of the similar calamity at Mortified some
eight years ago. The road on which it oc-
cured connects at Richford with the Mis-
sisquoi and at Newport with the Passump-
SIC and was built two years ago. The train
wrecked goes over the Passumpsic to New

ALONE.

Alone upon the wide, wide world
'Tis hard to dwell alone
To catch no look of human love,
To list no gentle tone
But wander through life's busy crowd
Lone as a corse within its shroud.
Alons-tis hard to sit and weep,
In some untrodden shade,
Ger all the wrecks of life and JOY
A few brief years have made
To trace the links of that bright chain
Which time will ne'er unite again.
Alone-tis deeper grief to dream
Of those we loved in youth,
And feel, though time has changd US
not,
Their hearts are lost to truth
To wake, alas, too late and find
Their VOWS have pass'd us as the wind.
Alone-tis agony for one,
Of spirit proud and strong,
To feel life's pulses ebbing fast
Before the worlds cold wrong;
And sternly hide each pang OF fate
That leaves the heart so desolate.
Alone-tis sometimes sweet to mark
The green and quiet spot,
Where we may sleep when life is DER,
By all the world forgot;
With none TO bless our churchyard hours
But leaves, and birds, and summer
flowers.
