been almost destroyed. The present season
has been one of the most disasterous of
any. The first of tho season the weather
was warm and ducks drug, this was fol-
lowed by a freeze which covered the flats
with ice, driving the ducks away down
towards the seaboard. Under present cir

Another Railroad Bridge Horror

RUTLAND, W., Dec 30.-The accident to
the Montreal express train, near Pittsford,
vt., last night, caused by the train breaking
through a bridge, was very lucky one.
There were about forty passengers on the
train, and none we're seriously injured,
while the three cars and engine comprising
the train are completely wrecked.
The engineer and fremen went down
with the engine, but escaped unburt. Cap
tain Ford, of Montreal, and Mrs. W. j.
Chambers, of Binghampton, are the only
persons severely bruised.
The accident was caused by the train
running off the track and striking the
bridge, prccipitating the structure and the
cars to the Ice below, resulting in mass OF
ruins.
DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT.
New YORK, Dec. 3O.-Another dispatch
from Portland gives the following account
of the accident at Pittsford. The accident
on the Rutland Railroad at Pittstord last
night is supposed to have been caused by
the removal of a rail from the track on the
bridge. The train ran off the track, and
the bridge broke down with it, the entire
mass being precipitated upon the ice Is feet
below the bridge.
The train was composed of an engine, q
baggage car, passenger coach and sleeping
car, all of which were completely wrecked.
There were about forty persons on the train,
and all we're bruised more or less, but none
seriously hurt. Captain Ford, of Montreal,
received the scverest injury of any one. A
train was made up here and sent to the
scene of the disaster, and the passengers
and baggage reached here at $50 A. NJ.
The bridge was Of wood, $50 feet long, and
spanned the Otter creek, just south OF
Pittsford. The escape Of all the passengers
from serious injury is marvellous in view OF
the terrible wreck made of the engine, cars
and bridge.

out fear of the fanaticism of the Turkish

ENGLISH PRESS VIEW OF THE PRopsEcr.
LONDON, Dec. sl.-The Pail Mall Gazette
OF yesterday states that the proposal for
the prolongation of the armistice was made
by the Porte, aid considers that this action
adds much to the hopelessncss Of the situa-
ton. 1t believes Turkey has put forward a
proposal that police force composed Of
Turkish regular troops under European of.
ticers shall supervise the duplication Of re-
forms in the provinces. Whether the Cxar
and his ministers will be content with it the
Gazette seriously doubts, declaring it easier
to believe the Russian army must fight, un-
less its sovereign can boast of q far more
oblivious diplomatic victory than it is likely
to obtain, than that 1t will be ordered home
bya government virtually defeated in the
Conference. chamber.
FoREsHADowrNG RUSSIAN POLICY.
LONDON, Dec. s1.-A despatch from St.
Petersburg gives an extract from an editor
ial article in tho Moscow "Gazetle" which
is very significant As indicating the policy Of
Russia in the event of breakup of the Con.
ference. The "Gazette says:-In the event
of the Conference being broken off Russia
would have to enforce upon Turkey not her
own decision but that Of Europe. Europe
would then virtually make war against Tur-
key with Russian arms. The more friendly
neutrality of Europe would not suffice. As
1t was not Russia who raised the Eastern
question, Russia could not afford to risk a
rear or flank attack upon the Porte in addi-
tion to the sacrifces which war would
entail upon her. Russia must therefore
unite her own interest with that of some
other Power.
THE ARNIsTIcR.
Confirmation of the reported prolongation
of the armissice comes from various qnar-
tcrs. A despatch from Paris says 1t is OIL
cIally announced there that the armistice
has been prolonged until the LIST of March
A telegram from Censtantinople is to the
same effect At Thursdays sitting of the
Conference, which lasted four hours, it was
decided that the armistice should be pro
longed until the Ist of March, 1877.
