ming one day this week. bent on dealing
death and destruction to all the game in

during the hunt Joe. not 50 lucky, got
nothing. William Riley who happened to
be out the same day tells rs OF little
trick played by one of the gunners on the
other, Of which, unknown to them, Viii
liam was an eye witness. The two be
came separated and in the meantime the
successful huntsman shot and killed an
other rabbit. making his score 4 to the

rabbit and placed him in a life like posi-

Railroad Accident.

Our people were greatly excited on Sat
urday evening, shortly after five o'clock, by
a despatch received from Riddleton juno
ton saying that the train on the Swedes-
boro road had collided with that on the old
Salem road. The news gained currency
with many manufactured additions and
when later i'll the evening wrecking train
passed our station on the way from Cam
den, party, in which were representatives
of the MONITOR, chartered a convey
ance and. in the face of the driving tempest.
made their way to the scene of the acct
dent, and found the workmen engaged in
clearing the wreck and replacing the ears
on the track The telegraph operator
who also has charge of the switch at
the junction, gave us this account of the
matter The afternoon train via Swedes-
boro for Salem is due at the junction at
5.01 The train over the old road from
Elmer is due at the same place at 5.12.
The train on the Woodstown branch was
considerably behind time so that the other
train arrived first, and the switchman, see
ing and hearing nothing of the other train,
gave the signal for the Elmer train to come
on and pass the switch. Just as the train
had reached the switch he saw sparks from
the smoke stack of the Woodstown train
close at hand. He signalled it to stop but
too late and the engine struck the Elmer
train between the passenger car and the
baggage car and tipped both cars over
broad side into the ditch, the engine and
tender of the wrecked train breaking loose
and remaining ON the track. The loco
motive of the Woodstown train was some
what damaged. About thirty passengers
We're on the Elmer train and knew nothing
of their danger until the crash came. The
switchman stated that the headlight on
the Woodstown locomotive was not burn
ing and that the whistle was not blown,
the only warning he received OF its approach
being the sparks from the smoke-staek.
The wrecking force toiled all night in the
deep mud and little after noon on Sun
day the damaged cars and locomotive were
taken up to Camden. The low rate of
speed at which the trains were moving pre-
vented loss of life or any very serious in
jury to the passengers. The greatest in
iuries were sustained by Mr.. I. II. Davis,
of Boston, advance agent of tile Chang
Novelty Company who was on his way to
Salem to make arrangements for his show.
He was severely bruised about the knee.

The New Orleans Exposition.

MANY of our readers, we imagine, have

To such the following facts and figures
may prove interesting. The affair is III
tended to celebrate the Centennial of the
cultivation of cotton in America. For its
success the general government has con-
tributed 81 300, 900, the citizens of New
Orleans $500. 600 and the City of New
Orleans and the State of Louisiana $780, 600
each. 1t is of an international character.
exhibits being displayed from every
country. Just as at the Philadelphia Cen
tennial Exhibition III 1876. 1t will remain
open until May 3lst, 1885, a period of six
months. The grounds on which the En-
position is held embrace 24i acres on
which the principal buildings are the Main
Building, the building for [. S, and State
exhibits the Horticultural Hall, the
Art Gallery and the building for displays of
factories and mills. The Main building is
half as large again as the Main building at
the Phila. Centennial, being 1873 feet long
and 9O5 feet wide. The United States and
State building is SS5 feet long by 565 feet
wide. The other buildings are equally
well adapted in point of size for the pnI-
poses for which they are intended In All
dition to those above mentioned there will
be innumerable other cdiiices erected by
different States and countries and by III
dividualS for their own purposes In the
Horticultural department cash premiums
are offered to the amount of $50, 600 and in
