Two TERRIBLE AcCpENrs.-Two terrible acct
dents occurred last week ON the Hannibal and
st. Joseph railroad, at point about equi-distant
between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers near
Macon, Missouri The first accident occurred to
the westward bound passenger train from Chicago.
The train was behind time, running slowly in con-
sequence of q bad track. Six miles west OF Macon
a broken rail was encountered and the engine,
baggage car, two coaches and one sleeper were
The cars in leaving the rails turned completely
over. The engine felupon the smoking car, in
which were fifty-seyen emigrants Many were
killed. As quickly as possible large fire was
built and kilograms were sent for assistance to
Brookfeld, when the wreckng train was imme-
diAtely dispatched for the scene OF the passenger
train accident, with orders TO run wild. The
train consisted of a caboose, containing doctors
and helpers, an engine and one coach, and when
about ten miles from Brookfeld, In crossing
Brush creek bridge, the structure gave way, and
the whole train was preeipitated into the creek,
the engine falling on the caboose, which contained
the wrecking force, completely demolishing It,
Every person on the train was more or less IN
jured and several were killed In about two
hours a second wrecking train started from Brook
field for the scene OF the Brush creek accident,
and about ten o'clock returned with the dead and
wounded. There was great excitement at Brook
field All the men on the wrecked train resided
there, many having families. Before the train
which had been sent TO their assistance left the
depot was crowded with women and children, who
uttered most heartrendiDg and agonzed sobs and
when the train with the killed and wounded
reached the station, the scene was beyond de-
scription All were well known, and as one
body after another was lifted from the cars II was
surrounded by a weeping family.

CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA-A correspondent OF a
Victoria paper writes Should you, or any OF
your family be attacked with diphtheria, do not
be alarmed, as 1t is easily and speedily cured
without doctor. When 1t was raging in Eng
land few years ago accompanied DIR. Field on
his rounds to witness the so.called wonderful
cures he performed, while the patients of others
were dropping on all sides. The remedy to be
so rapid must be simple. All he took with him
was powder OF sulphur and quill. With these
he cured every patient without exception. He
put teaspoonful OF flour of birthstone into a
wine-glass OF water and stirred 1t with his finger,
instead of spoon, as the sulphur does not read
lily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur
minutes the patient was out Of danger Brim-
stone kills every species OF fungus in man. beast,
and plant in few minutes. Instead Of splitting
out the gargle he recommended the swallowing
Of it. In extreme cases in which he had been
called just in the nick Of time, when the fungus
was too nearly closing to allow the gargling, he
blew the sulphur through quill into the throat
and after the fungus had shrunk to allow Of it,
then the gargling. lilo never lost patient from
diphtheria. II a patient cannot gargle, take a
live coal, put 1t in shovel and sprinkle spoon
full or two OF flour birthstone at time upon it,
let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over
1t, and the fungus will die. II pentifully used
the whole room may be filled almost TO a suffoca-
ton the patient can walk about In II inhang the
fumes with doors and windows shut. The mode
OF fumigating room with sulphur has often
cured most violent attacks OF cold in the head
chest, etc, at any time, and is recommended in
cases Of consumption and asthma

for meats is easier in the west, though
no decline has been established. Lard
