A LETTER speaking of the terrible rail-
road calamity at Ill, France, caused by
the breaking of bridge, owing 10 a
heavy rain-storm, says the carriages fell
on top of each other, and Immediately
disappeared in the river, where they
were broken up by the strength of the
stream. Those of the travellers who were
not killed by the fall were unable to es-
cape from the wagon in which they were
imprisoned, and they were carried down
the river until they were dashed to
pieces against the rocks or slowly
drowned.
The London Times has an editorial on
the subject of the adventures Of the sur
vivors of the emigrant ship Strathmore,
which concludes as follows: The vessel
which at length arrived to rescue them
was United States whaler, on her
course to the South Sea Fisheries. Her
Captain, we are told, gave up the chance
of the seasons profits for the sake of the
poor creatures he found at Crazettes, and
who needed an amount of care they
could not have received if he had taken
them with him. We are sure that the
English Nation illjudge, as it deserves,
of the sacrifice to which Captain Clifford
submitted, and will not fail to do honor
and something more than the bare honor
to the deed and to the man.
THE Cohaes IN. W Eagle says that
curious and singular accident happened
to a son of James OHelan, who resides
in that city. 1t seems that Willie, the
youngest child, a bright boy of twelve
or fifteen years of age, laid down in a
corner of the kitchen last night, and, be-
ing tired out from play, was soon fast
asleep. The father was reading at
table placed in the center of the room,
the rest of the family being in bed, and
consequently the house was very still.
Suddenly startling cry came froIn the
child, which aroused the father, who
made rush for the boy and asked him
what was the matter. The boy clasped
his father in his arms, and with startling
eyes exclaimed, "Father, have swal-
lowed mouse, and l feel him biting me
insidep In an instant the father had
the house aroused, and messenger was
sent for doctor, who soon arrived, and
administered an emetic, which had the
desired effect; and the boy, after some
terrible retching, threw up the mouse; |;
and, strange to relate, the creature was
alive and active, and made his escape to
a hole in the floor. 1t appears that
while the child slept he had his mouth
open, and the mouse, which was a very
small one, got frightened by muscular
action of the child, jumped into his
mouth and down his throat; but how he
remained alive in the boys stomach is
mystery.
