Stunning them to be such. when. In reali-
ty, they ara all symptoms caused by
some uterine disorder; and while thoy
are thus only able perhaps to palliate for
a time. thoy are ignorant OF the cause.
and encourage their practice until large
bills are made; when the suffering pa
tients are no better in the end. but prob
ably worse for the delay, treatment, and
other complications made, and which a
proper medicine directed TO the easss
would have entirely removed. thereby
instituting health and comfort instead Of
prolonged misery.

On Saturday evening last at about G:3o
o'clock. a collision occurred ON tho vir-
ginia and Truckee Railroad which had
not its equal in ,ho history u the road.
The particulars are as follows: A freight
train was on its way up. from Carson.
aud had passed the Baltic Switch. when
the coupling pin, connecting the three
last cars with tho balance OF the train,
broke and. Of course. allowed them to
run back ON the down grade. Two
brskensn were on the three hindmost
cars, but owing to the brakes being
clogged with snow and leo II was found
impossible TO use them. Seeing that
they could not DO Of service the brake
men jumped of. and left the three cars
10 pursue their terrific course on the
down grade.
The Collision.
The three cars were loaded with
freight. The hindmost was a box car
and contained pig iron; the next or mid
dle ear. was also a box, but loaded with
apples. while the third was a fiat. and
carried coal. The train on the upgrade
was the four o'clock train from Carson.
and consisted OF tho locomotives Hum
boldt and Comsteek, n passenger and
ei.ht freight cars. A. the three cars
continued ON their downward course.
their speed was increased until IL had
reached tho irightiul velocity OF sixty
miles an hour. They approached the
up coming train at this rate, and had
got within twenty-five rods. before the
engineer Of the Comstoek MIR. Clifford
saw the rel light swinging in the air.
I, was the work Of q moment to whistle
down brakes" and shut of steam. He
then called out to all within sight to
leap for their lives. and this they did
without u moments delay. No sooner
hal they obsyed his orisr than tbs col
lision occurred. The engine Comstock
was all but demolished by the pix iron
contained in tho rear car. aud 1t will
take menths to repair ii. The Hum
boldt Jared but little better. being strip
ped Of smokesiack. bell. dome, and all
projecting pieces. Fortunately
Not y Person WAS Hurt,
Although the whole train load were con-
siderably frightened. The ~collisiontook
place about a mile and a half below tho
Baltic switch. and the crash OF the col
liding cars aud locomotives was distinct
~ heard in this town.
A large force Of men were at once em-
ployed to clear the wreck. and at two
o'clock on Sunday morning the track
was clear again.
