One Of the worst railrosd accidents o.
recent years happened Wednesday Of las
week. on the Tunnel road to . passenger
train OF SIX cars which Was precipitatsd
down . step 200-ieet embankment into
the Deerfeld river. The cars were badly
smashed by the plunge, and 10 add 70 thu
horror Of the occasion three or more o.
the cars took hre and were burned.
The scene oil the disaster was on The
Fitchburg road midway between Bards-
wells Ferry and West DeerAeld stations
The train was the east bound passenger and
mail, due in Greenfield at sos p. M. /,
consisted Of baggage car, smoker, sleep
ing car. mail car and two passenger
coaches, and was in charge Of Conduc-
tor Foster, with Herbert Littlejohn as en-
gineer.
II would he hard TO find . worse place
for an accident. The track winds along
side OF the Deerfeld river and il 10 nearly
200 feet to the river. The bank il very
steep and is covered with huge bowldera
and masses Of shale rock with which the
road bed had been filled. The heavy rains
had evidently quilted under the tracks,
and when the train arrived at that point
the track began to settle under IL for Z
distance covering its entire length.
The Springfield Republican, summary Of
the results OF the accident Is - follows;
Twenty iour hours after the plunge Of the
Fitchburg railroad train down the Bard
wells Ferry bank, Wednesday evening.
found 10 Of the 40 passengers dead. 81
wounded and five unharmed. the loss to
the state, present and TO come. being e..
timated 1t over $4,000. OF the wound
ed the greater part have reached their
homes with favorable chances Of recovery,
while few are seriously hurt. II is pos.
sible ths: the conductors estimate Of pso-
pie on board the train is not complete.
and that one or two victims may yet be
added to the list OF the killed. but IL is
believed that the whole number imperiled
are accounted for; although there are, Of
course. plenty Of rumors concerning nm.
known dead. The distance which the car
fell down the bank ID disputed point,
but it is claimed that the descent is 100
feet by actual measurement, and that
some Of the cars must have been projected
200 feet from the point Of derailment. II
u estimated that the cost to the state Of
Masssc husetts. which owns the road
from Greenfield TO North Adams, may
reach $50. 900 TO e25O.0OO on account Of

Composition.

Writing descriptions Of objects is
one of the best means Of teaching
children something about compost
ton. They are generally slow at
learning to compose, and not only
children, but very few men ever be-
come very efficient or ready writer's.
In order to make progress in this dl-
rection it is necessary that it be be-
gun at an early age. y child should
commence forming sentences rs soon
as he can make the letters. For q
pupil, q young one, to come to the
teacher and recite his reading or spell
inc lesson is not sufficient. A con
tinued repetition Of this from time to
time, and from day to day. causes,
as a consequence: a distaste for
books. 1t is necessary to break the
monntony OF tie pupil work, or his
progress will not be rapid or satisfac-
tory. Most children delight to use
slate and pencil, and in this they
should be encouraged. After they
have recited their lessons, if they
have slate and pencil. it would be
we'll for the teacher to give them some
object to write q description OF.
Their first attempts may be, and will
be very poor. but progress will be
made from day to day. OF course
they must have help from the teacher
continually, and will be Of consider
able annoyance, but this must be
borne. The little oaes very often
