TI: New A i lux t -jiix-i'-r axi-i I-.nquircr of
Tuesday morning. s;x\ >:
Yesterday afternoon, al>out ten minutes to
two o'clock, as the express train on the New
York ami New Haven railroad, was <m its
wav to this citv from Boston, the engine and
forward baggage ear had no sooner mounted
Washington bridge, about twelve miles this side
of New Haven, than the structure gave way
a distant.- of about 130 feet. The engine and
La"gag< car were instantly precipitated into
the river, hut fortunately, the after cars,
which contained passengers, v*erc stopped in
time to prevent loss ol life. No one was in
jured. The engineer, baggage master and
firemen, escaped 1 y jumping off. The cause
of the accident is attributed to carelessness
on the part of the switchman in turning the
switch tiie wrong way, or in leaving it in the
manner he arranged it a short time previous
to the accident for the Naugatuck train, i i>e
New York train, on reaching the bridge, con
sequently ran off the track arid caused the
bridge to* fall. Great alarm and consternation
were" created among the passengers, and
;.bout six h.-iurs elapsed lxeforc they could pro
ceed on their journey. The bridge being
prostrated, the passengers crossed by other
conveyance, and the train Ofcich t' l ' B
vesterdav at 11 o'clock, brought them to New
York. They arrived about 10 o'clock last
night. The engine was broken,-also the
baggage car of the wrecked train, and some
of th<r baggage was broken and seriously
damaged by falling into the river.
FATAL REALIZATION or A PRESENTIMENT.
On Tuesday week, Win. Iluey, ol Delaware,
iust a'Toss the line from Kennett, ( hester
county, left his home in company with two of
his men, to fell a tree. At first, one of his
men objected to go, in consequence of a sin
gular dream of the night previous, which so
impressed him with danger, that he was fear
ful of its reality. He finally went, however.
When the work was nearly accomplished, and
while those present were looking for the tree
to fall, Mr. iluey took hold of a branch, ana
attempted to push it—he was warned to leave,
and just at the moment of falling, sprang, but
instead of out of the way, he fell directly un
der, and was crushed to death.
LAND nv THE INCH. —A sale of four inches

Au Important Jfciiitcrprisc.
In a secluded and romantic-spot between
two spurs of the South Mountain, verging
closely upon each other, and about sixteen
miles east of Chamhersburg. are located the
celebrated Sweeny Springs. They are five in
number, the weakest throwing off sufficient
water to fill a three inch hole, and each one
differs from the rest in some essential partic
ulars. Three of them possess important me
dicinal properties; one is highly impregnated
with mineral qualities, while the other is pure
mountain water. As early as 1775, when the
whole country fur miles around was one un
broken wilderness, these springs wore a resox-t
for invalids, and were attended by Baltimore
ans as early as that date. For Rheumatism,
Liver and similar affections, they are proba
bly unrivalled in point of efficacy, as hun
dreds in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and this and
and adjacent can readily attest, who have
shared their benefits, and who now feel a
deep interest in their improvement. We
know of persons who were so severely afflicted
with Rheumatism that they had to be carried
to the spring, who have been relieved by the
simple process of bathing. The spring use.}
for this purpose, is now about fifteen feet ;
square and four feet deep, and nine degrees
colder than the coldest water in Chambers
burg, where we have the bc-l limestone water.
It is a powerful spring, and can be enlarged .
to any practicable size, or diverted into dif
ferent pools, as may be deemed expedient.
These Springs have unfortunately always
beexx iu the hands of persons unable or un
willing to improve them, though they have :
every season been thronged with invalids who
endured the most indifferent accommodations
—in most cases bringing bedding and provi
sions with them—in order to enjoy the healing
virtues of the water. But they have now been
purchased by a company consisting of Br. J.
C. Kit-hards, (President.) Wni. McLell&n, ■
(Treasurer,) A. K. MeCiure, (Secretary,) -f.
Wyeth Douglas, B. B. B&nner. Br. A. 11.
Sens ny. Ban 1 O. Gehr, J. Allison Kyster,
•1. McDowell Sharp, and B. E. t ver, who
purpose improving it in the most fashionable
style. As the purchase lias just been made,
the 'exact plan of improvements h ; not yet
been agreed upon. The intention however
is to civet a main building not less than 1 >0
by 5o feet, three stories high, exclusive of a >
finish 1 basement. The house will be ar
ranged "ii the most improve ! system, ami the I
rooms constructed with the utmost regard to
ventilat: m and comfort. The amplest ne
eommod.ui >ns will be made for every variety
of amtnem -nt. The baths will be fitted up
in the Very host manner, including shower
and plunge, of the different qualities <>f wa
ter on th- premises ; and special regard will
be paid in their construction for the comfort
of invalids. The whole accommodations will
be ample for the out- rtainment in the most
satisfactory manner of three hundred visitors,
and teili be ■ ompbited by th--fird of* Jim v.v'.
The water of these Springs has icvcr L.-en
critically analyzed, h it -uuplcs are about be- 1
lag seut to the uiiernui int Chemists of j
Baltimore and Pii'da 1 Iphia t-> have t!J -'.r j>r>- ;
parties accurately determined. That they
are sev'"ra!ly distinctive i:i their qualities,
and possess medicinal virtue-of a rare ord -r,
are alike confirmed by our scientific men and
the hundreds who have sou rht them o heal
their infirmities.
The company embrace s , we believe, the no
cessary eneigy and capital to prosecute this
enterprif-c t > a most successful i-itse ; and we
doubt not that under their direction these
springs are destined to tak • the vry high'-t
rank among the watering places of the coun
try. CHoi:t b ■ r>] Hiy.

1 fraud committed by any person voting in the manner
above prescribed, shall be punished by the existing
laws of the Commonwealth."
Manner of Voting for Judges.
The 4th Section of the Law of 1851, providing
for the election of Judges, is as follows;

for Judges: Provided, That the aforesaid electors
shall vote for judges of the Supreme Court on a

new turnpike from Milheitn, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and Ivisbacoquillas road

nearly finished, will largely increase the busi

to an enterprising business man than this.
