Oo Frldav and Saturday evening of this

of tbe compsny :
Tbe annorocement (hat Mist Fannie B.
Price was lo play "Faachon," at the Op
era House no Thursday evening list, drew
out a large, and fashionable audience.
Every seat la tbe bouse was taken and oc
cupied before tbe oluee of the second act.
Although, Fancbon has been produced here
afore, this sson, it is admitted the ren
dition last evening was. we were about lo
ay Insompaible. Mies Price as the Crick
et, called forth Ibe admiration, of the aud
ience repeatedly. Tbe troupe gave excel
lent support, and more particularly do we
speak of Mr. Frank Rostwick, as Barbeaud,
and Mr. .Torn. Calaroan as Didler. The
perlormanoc throughout was highly app e
iated, and we can safely premise good
houses during the remainder of their stay.
We have many among our readers who
came from Northern New York particular
ly from Jefferson, Lewis and Oswego coun
ties. They knew, In their earlier years,
how It was themselves In "old fash ionnd'1
winter, ta tunnel the snow from the from
door to tbe gate; to walk yea verily to
skate miles on the snow crust over field,
and fences; and there are some of onr read
ers who can back us up In the assertion tbat
in,lbe ReCHsM woods af Oswege county
where tbe speckled trout disport themselves
In summer the people us two year old
snow. No lone f need dispute our tales
ol the winters of that region, lor we have
good witnesses al'band.
The present wiuter In Northern New
York Is one of the old style. Tbe "oldest
inhabitant" of Jefferson county does not re
member so much cloudy weatber at the
same season ot the'year as Ihnro Is this year.
Watertown claims eighteen feet of snow fell
his winter; tbe mercuty at Evan's Mills
stood thiitt-sevrn degree below zero, while
in Lowville, Lewis county II stood at thirty
degrees below zero. Denmark in tbat couo
ty has not reported snd we Imagine It wilt
oot until tbe thaw get down to it in the
spring.

or north of a place called Black' Siding,
,eo miles south nt here. The' train is a
mixed one, leaving Brady' at 12:35 p. m.t
aod is due at tbe aiding at 3 p. in. Toda;
II was made up with engine No. 37, next
eleven loaded oil Cars, and last aa iron olud
passenger ceaob. It was in charge of con
ductor J umes Bonner and engineer Samuel
Weigle, and at the time of the occurrence
of tbe accident wat nearly thirty minutes
late, and was running twenty miles per
bout. :
Tbe precise point of the accident is a
ourve one mile south ofRosedalo, and when
rounding the curve, tbe Qruman noticed that
a piece about four ffet was broken out ol
one of tbe outside rail. Ho notified the
engineer, who whistled for brakes, but the
warning came too late to allow of an effec
tual applicatlou of them, and the snventb
car of the train, in passing over (ho, gap,
was thrown from tbe track, dragging four
oil ears aud tha passenger coach la Ibe rear
down the bank. Tbe embankment at this
point i about fitteen feet btgb, and the
coach was turned once aod ooe and a half
lime over, and landed bottom side tip out
in tbe river, and in about lour leet of wuter
Tbe coupling of Ibe oil cars broke, the tunks
which contatLed about eighty barrel oil
eacb, a large portion of which ran down in
to tbe patseogor car and catching Gte Irum
Ibe forward Btove, soon enveloped tbe whole
Carlo fltmes. There wro at lb s tiae
about twenty-five passengers In tbe car, who
of course rushed fur the doors and windows,
and with tbeexception of tbo-ia killed, g t
safely out, although a few of thorn eie
more or less burned, lforis 'wti.oU eoou
proved eucceSfful, were made lo txuuuiHj
the flames, aod tbeo tbe budies of tue- dead
were recovered, and tbe iujumd propetlv
tared lor by tbe company's surgeons auu
employees wstkiog under the direciiou ol
Col. J.. J. Lfcwrence, Superintendent ol tbe
oad, who fortunately arrived aouu after the
accident occurred.
EcMJRORAgs, Pa, February 10.
Tha following is correct statement of
the accideut on the Allegheny Valley rail
road which ocourrud Ibis alternooo:
Tbe Oil City accommodation, with a
train of oil cars, when running on time near
Black's Siding, at 3 o'clock p. Bi., a few
miles uortb of Emlsntoii, broke a rail, and
five cars of oil and the coach were thrown
from the track down the bank. Tbe cars at
oooa took fire, but'all tbe paeseogera escap
ed except three wbo were killed. The kill
ed wore Scott, a unweboy aud William
Carey, said to be a sporting man, aud one
unknown.
Tbe injured are John L. Il'acna, 62
Wood street. Pittsburgh, badly burned,

hoped not seriously.
Tbe track at tbe place of the aooident was
aa good as aoy oo tbe road, the ties all
