Engine No. 1873, which brings the noon
train from Boston, left the track near the
Cheshire freight house last Friday. The
machine struck frog just below the cross
ing at the end of the building, and ran
some distance, partly on the rails and part
" on the ties. At the eastern end of the
freight house it ran deeply into the soft
earth, and but for prompt action on the
part of Engineer Thompson in applying
the air-brakes serious accident would
have been the result. No cars left the
track and the engine was not seriously in
jured A wrecking party was immediate
ly on hand and very soon had the engine
back on the track.

Two weeks ago we spoke of a misun-
derstanding between local managers of the
opera house and Hoyt's "a temperance
town" company, which had resulted in the
cancellation by that company of their en-
gagement here for last Saturday evening.
We find the article in the Springfield Re
porter, which we quoted, to be in error as
regards the address of a telegram sent the
company. We have been shown the tele-
gram, and it was addressed to the party
who received it, instead Of the manager of
the opera house. 1t would seem that after
having made direct proposition to him
the company should have fulfilled its en-
gagement with Mr.. Kimball. 1t was a
great disappointment to our plaY-loving
