Dreadful Railway Accident.
— WHITE RIVElt JUNCTION, Vt., Feb. 5.—
At half -past two o'clock this morning the
Montreal night express on the Vermont
Central railroad, went through the bridge
at Woodstock, some five miles north of here
and fell 70 feet into theWhite,River, caus-
ing a terrible loss of life, the disaster being
the most appalling that has occurred in the
history of New England, and rivalling the
„ famous disaster at Ashtabula, which it re-
sembled in many respects. In the pass-
engers,coaches were most of the local pass-
engers,wh ile in the sleepers were the through
people for St. Albans and Montreal, most
of Op latter. being en route for the coming
ice Z;hrnival. " At what is known as Wood-
stock, an old abandoned station the high
bridge, a- Howe deck structure some 200
feot long by 50 to 70 high, was reached, and
here by some means the car left the track
'while on the bridge. All that portion of
the train behind the postal -car plunged in-
to the river, two cars breaking through the
�iee and. being partially submerged. The
forward pNrt of the train--passed-..over--in-
safely.
passed-over iusafely. The coach left the rails first and
dragged the others after it, the shock of
k'ties breaking, the coupling
through the personal efforts' of, the Queen.
But the strain existing is so severe that it
is believed that before long, despite the
scandal it would create, application will be
made for divorce.'
Says the Breslels Posts --A farmeress, (this
. word is coined) sold a beautiful cake of lard
to one of our general- storekeepers, It was
white as the driven snow and most beautiful
to look upon. Shortly after the honest seller
of lard lett the store, a gentleman drcpped in
wishing to purchase some extra nice lard as
11;s wife was "varra perteecular." Sighting
this beautiful cake he concluded to take half
of it, when cut upon, it was found to be a cake
of tallow veneered with a fine sample of hog's
leaf.

was leaping up from diffdrent parts of the

upon the ice were a number of blackened,

and, assisted by some dozen country people
the trainmen were carrying the wounded to
the house of.Pingree (a farmer near by) and

slowly burning to death, as it was impossi-
ble to release them #rum their horrible
position. Every few moments some tortur-
' ed victim while being assisted up the bank
would break away from the helpers and
rushscreaming, half naked, across the
frozen snow. The smoking ruics of the"
burnt cars gave forth a sickening odor of
burnt flesh, which made the small baud of
helpers ill and faint. It seas a remarkable
feature of the accident that not one of the
passengers who went over the. bridge es-
caped scot free, All were injured, and to
show how fast the flames spread,only those
- survive who -were got out of the cars ten
minutes after the first crash came. The
„rescued numbered 30 all told, and deduct-
