Accident on the Midnight Train
From the North

The northern train, arriving here at mid
night from Burlington, met with an acct
dent last night near Grigg's residence, about
three miles north of Rutland The New
York sleeping car was thrown from the
track and several of the passengers injured,
among whom were Mr. T. G.. Sherman
of Rutland, ankle badly sprained A N
Merchant of the Burlington Democrat,
bruised, and Senator Dickinson OF Troy,
also bruised. 1t is probable that the en-
ginc broke the rail and the forward sleep
ing car on the train was thrown off its bal
ance on hitting the break, between the for
ward and back trucks, but came on to the
track again. The next sleeper was
thrown off and the whole train came
very near going down the bank and making
a total wreck. The sleeper which was so
badly wrecked was filled, but fortunately
all escaped without serious injury, more
than mentioned above. Both sleepers were
left where the accident occurred, the New
York being badly damaged inside, the
others trucks broken.

prominent one and will prove very desira-

George n Wcbber, y. d., of Middcbury
College, who has accepted the call to be-
come the successor of Rev. DR.. Vincent,
of the First Presbyterian church, of Troy,

turcr, he has become thoroughly known
and most cordially esteemed throughout the
state. Neither the presidency of Middle
bury College nor the pastoratc of the
White street church at Burlington, or the
First Congregational church of our own
town, all of which were rendered him, we
believe, were sufficient inducements to out
weigh those he had received from larger
cities. We predict for him Il brilliant ca

turning to me, he asked me if | knew that
he claimed TO be the most polite man in the
country. told him that | recognized his
many excellent qualities, but was not aware
that he was especially remarkable for the
graccs of p0liteness. He assured me that
he was, and told me that he had never
been beaten in politencss hut once in his
life. That happened he said, many gears
ago, before the days of railroads. Early
one morning he left Bags hotel at Utica,
in a stage coach westward bound. There
was but one passenger besides himself, a
gentleman of very prepossessing appear

sumed, and presently the stranger, extract
