RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL accident occurred
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near the
Relay House, on Wednesday night Of last week
which. might have ended in serious disaster.
As it was, an engineer lost leg, and eight val.
liable horses were killed. The fast train West
which leaves Camden Station at 1920 P. NJ.
while passing through a cut about seven miles
from Baltimore, encountered drove of horses
on the track, and plunging through them, kill
ed eight of the animals. The engine was
thrown from the track, and the engineer, leap.
ing from the cab, fell on the track, and injured
one of his legs so seriously that it will have to
be amputated. There were no other casualties
The horses belonged to Mr.. Winans and were
valued at $4,000. They were pasturlng in one
of Mr.. Winans meadows on the line of the rail-
road, and got upon the track through break
in the fence made by party of railroad hands
who were engaged in digging down an en-
bankment. They forgot to repair the break
and a broken engine, a mutilated engineer
and eight dead horses were the fruits of their
neglect.

A CoUNrRYMAN AT THE THEATRE.-The Gazette
of Monday says: "a tall, youthful-looking
countrryman paid his first visit to this city on
Saturday last, and invited lady acquaintance
to visit the Holliday-street Theatre with him.
The lady accepted the invitation, and the young
man, following the crowd, walked up to the
ticket office and inquired the price of ticket,
ffty-cent note for his ticket, and turning to his
companion said to her "the price is fifty cents"
The lady happened to have her portmonnaie
with her, and approaching the situation, drew
from it a fifty cent note, and handed it to her
gallant companion, who handed it in with his
money, and obtaining two tickets, handed one
of them to her, which she quietly accepted and
handed it to Mr.. Moxley as she passed in after
her rural beau. The few persons who were
near enough to see and understand the affair
were amused at the greenness Of the country
man, and delighted with the quiet and pleas
ant manner in which the young lady accepted
the situation which to most ladies must have
proved exceedingly embarrassing"

TUE REMOVAL OF CASES FROM THE CRY GRIM
INAL CoURT.-The Baltimore Gazette of Thurs
day says: "The recent publications in refer
ence to the taking of bail in the cases removed
from the City Criminal Court Of Baltimore to
the Circuit Court for Baltimore county, at Tow
sontown, have attracted much attention and
ELECTED considerable comment. Yesterday, in
the City Criminal Court, the first application
for a removal since the attention of the Court
and public was directed to the matter, came
before Judge Glmor. w Hollngsworth Whyte
Esq, counsel for man named VIM. Carol, APP
piled to the Court for removal of the case.-
Judge Gilmor directed that the affidavit re
quired by law be made, and Immediately or
dercd the removal of the case to Cecil county.
This action of the Court was surprise. Balti-
more, Howard and Anne Arundel counties hav-
ing been those to which heretofore such cases
were almost invariably sent. 1t has been a
long time since from Baltimore city was
entered on the dockets of the Circuit Court for
Cecil county. Mr.. Whyte made application
next for the removal of the cases Of Thomas
Fuller alias st. Clair and Richard Crawford
and they were sent by the Court to Anne Arun.

NARROW EscAPE.-John Baker, residing near
Deer Park Chapel, few days ago, missed his
child, about two years old. Search was made
but no one could tell anything about it. The
family were much alarmed and excited at the
absence of the child. Finally some one sug-
gested that they examine the creek which runs
through the property and while doing their at
| tention was attracted by the barking of dog.
On proceeding to the place they found that
the child had fallen into the water but had been
dragged ashore by thedog. The child was near
ly exhausted from its cold bath, but tv the use of
proper remedies it soon revived Westminster

EXCURSION ON THE WESTERN MARYLAND RAIL
RoAD.-0n Thanksgiving day the citizens resid
ing at and near the stations of Owings' Mills,
Timber Grove, Glenn Morris, Fnksburg and
Reisterstown, on the Western Maryland rail
road, made an excursion up the railroad as far
as Williamsport, the terminus, at the invita-
ton of Mr.. J. M. Hood, president of the road,
who accompanied the party. John III. Scott
was conductor and Samuel Price engineer of the
excursion train. The magnificent scenery
through Wakefield valley, Pipe creek and the
Blue Ridge mountains and Cumberland valley
beyond was enjoyed to full extent, and the good
condition and workings of the road favorably
commenced upon. The party remained an hour
at Williamsport, and returning stopped at
Hagerstown two and a-halt hours, dining at the
Washington House. The trip was delightful
onein every way, and the capacities for devel-
opment in the road and the courtesy of its en-
ployees were fully and favorably observed aud
attested.

ANOTHER SAD AND FATAL OCCURRENCE AT ASH
LAND.-A fatal case of burning occurred at Ash
land, N. c. R. r., on Monday last, the victim
being little daughter, aged about three years,
of George L. Merryman. The mother of tn g
the store, just across the way, when the little
one got hold of some matches, went into the
basement and set fire to barrel of shaving
The fire communicated to her clothing and
when discovered by her father, who happened
to be near at hand, the child was enveloped in
flames. When the fire was extingushed it was
found that her limbs, back and stomach were
burned to a crisp. DR.. J. w. Hawkins was sent
for but it was found impossible to render any
assistance. After suffering the most excrucia-
ting pain, death came to her relief in about six
hours. 1t was with great difficulty the house
was saved from being burned.

A STRANGE BIRp.-Mr Samuel N. White of
this place, whilst duck shooting on Back river,
at the farm of Mr.. BENZ. Cook, about two weeks
ago, killed very strange looking species of
water fowl, the like of which has never before
been seen in our waters. The body of the bird
with very long and thick neck, long slim bill,
with a sharp hook at the end, turning down
like that of an eagle Its legs are jet black,
and the feet about the shape of bats wing,
joined together by stout web. The plumage
is dark brown, tipped with black, feathers on
the neck being very short and having the ap-
pearance of fur This singular bird was pre-
sented to Mr.. j. M. Watkins who has had it
stuffed and mounted and it is now on exhibit
ton at his restaurant. The bird has been ex-
amined by a number of old and experienced
duckers and they all agree that it is new
species In our waters, none of the kind ever
having been seen here before.
