Mr. D. G. Harrington has put steam engine
into his cooper-shop, to run his machinery in the
manufacturing of his goods. Mr. Harrington has
always done excellent work, but now he thinks he
can turn out better article than ever. And
speaking OF the cooper-busiuess, we are reminded
of young man that set up coopering in one of the
northern towns, few years ago. Business
opened first rate, and the new shop was well pat
ronized by the towns people bringing in their tubs,
barrels kegs, etc, to have them coopered and re-
paired. The young man was all elated with his
prospects, until one day man drove up with a
load Of bulg holes, and wanted barrels made to
them. The yolng man then thought the people
had got ahead Of his time.

RAILROAD AcCIDESr.--A An accident occurred on
the 22d near BOWS crossing, Walden, 10 the snow
plow train going west. The train consisted OF two
engines and pillow. As the train neared the twin
trestle, so called, a drift was encountered one
side Of the road so hard as TO dispace a rail by
crowding the plow. The first engine passed
safely, but its tender was thrown off, tearing up
both ties and track at the end Of the trestle
ing second engine to plunge into the trestle and
stopping the train. The trestle was about twenty
feet high and proved strong enough to prevent
the engine from breaking through Il TO the ground.
The fireman was badly bruised by the wood fall
ing on him; no others seriously injured The
track was not cleared for the passage Of trains till
Thursday. By means OF the uninjured engine
and cars west Of the break train was improyised
for operating the western section during the inter
val after Tuesday morning. This IL the first
serious delay or interruption to business on this
road, caused by any accident, for long time.
