A Biniooe R. R. AOOiDsrr. A irlons colli
sion of two freight trains occurred on the N. C.
Railway, at Buchanan Station, opposite Liver
pool, on Friday evening last,.4)etwec oight and
nine o'clock.; ,Tbe tralna were coming In oppo
site directions on the same track, arid wero run
ulna; at the rate of about eighteen miles an hour.
Iu coming around a short carve they met, when
a terrible collision took.plnso. Both engines
were shattered,4 and the cars came crashing Into
one another In a general wreck. Fire was coin
mimicked td'f.he tu1ns,'aUd In a short time some
twenty . ers, with' thelf contents, Including
spirits and, other combustibles, wure wrapped .in
flamss and entirely consumed. The fireman,
Char. : Ashland, was burned to a erbp, and ano.
ther mull li was itoaMug hls wly, Vus slob
killed. The wreck, As was staled in Us by d I ire
rent railroad men, was the worst the'? "had evoi
seen. The fireman' was a elngft fuun from Dnn-,
cannon, Pa. . The collision occurred under the
following clrcnmstances. The liinplrp freight,
conductor Kline, going south, drawn by engine
No. 115, was runulug on time, and conductor
Young, of the Express freight ho'rth, drawn by
engine No. 12d, running by rule, mistook a train
which' hud Just before left Mtltersburg for the
Emplr6 freight, dud went ahead.' Upon teach
ing the polut nboVe named, the two trains collid
ed, causing the horrible wreck. ". . ..
Wc are acquainted 'with both ennductors on
the unfortunate trains, and we know them to be
noted for their strictly temperate hublts, aiid for
their industry in working for the interests of
their employers.. We state this, fact on account
of the runtof n plteulntlon of bcth: conductors
being lutcxtcated', hd lliul the collision was the
result-of carelessness! '

Dam. Tho washing away of the embankment,
below the Shamokln dnm, caused by tlicWnk In
the dam has continued since the rise of the river
commenced. The bank has already washed uwny
sonic 60 feet In width, and about 200 yards 'fii
length.' The public road In front of the Sliauio
kiu Hotel, hss been entirely washed away, nid
ut this writing, Thursday, there are bnt about 8
feet from the break of the bunk to the building,
"vlilch is gradually giving away. On Monday
night a largo force were engaged in hauling
brush, timber and siones which wcro thrown in
to preveut further damage, hut the water con
tinued to rise during tbe whole- ii'lght, nnd if it
should continue, tho completo ilcstructon of
the rcsldcnrt 'of ftr. Charles Garlnger will be
unavoidable. Mr. Qiifiiigcr's 'resiflcn'cc was ono
of the tlnest along the river, nnd niiicn, sympa-'
thy is expressed for the heavy loss he will stis
tuin. He und his family havo been incessant In
their labors to stop the washing away of the em
bankment, but thus far their efforts have proved
vain. The Canal Company has now a largo
number of teams nnd men employed to u'id iu
cheeking the further destruction of property
which it is hoped they will speedily succeed iu
doing.

Djsgracektl. On Sunday evening last, about
(5 o'clock, two young men nnd a young woman,
came driving dowu the river road in a buggy at
a very rapid lute. As they passed, hundreds of
persons who wero prominading on Front; street
noticed that the woman was in a beastly slnto of
iutoxication, raving like a maniac. Ou inquiry
it was uscerialned that she us one of the "soiled
doves" of tho town, woo had bceu with her jrl
lows" on tbo "drive," and who indulged too free
ly in benziuc. Where kh'cy obtained tho Jiiiuor
will no doubt remain a sucrct, but it is evident
that it had the effect of making the woman in
sune for n lime, as she booh after her return
home made nn attempt to commit suicide by
plunging into the river, and was only prevented
from doing so by two peutlemcn who happened
to be prescut on thu bank, aud who dragged tier
out of the water. Whether the young men In
company with the woman gave her the liquor,
or whether some one else, did it, they should suf
fer (or it, for had she accomplished her design, they
would undoubtedly have been, guilty of one of the
highest crimes on record. Although this is per
haps tbe first disgraceful scene of tbe kiud wit
nessed In our town for many years, we hope that
our officers will keep a sharp look out aud pre-
vent a repetlttou.

Hion Watkh. During Saturday -tho river
commenced rising, aud contluued to rise gradu
ally until Mouduy morning. Tbo water rose to
nearly bank full, aud submerged many of the is
lands below this place. During Saturday night
the West Brunch boom gave way by a heavy
gorge of ice striking be timbers, and swept away
a number of scattering logs. Ou Sunday hun
dreds of persous visited tbe Shamokln dam to wltr
noss tbe effect of the water on tbe break at the
abutment. The scene of the rushing waters
through the broken part' was wild and grand.
The damsge doue to the embankment below the
dam, will require at least five or six thousand
dollars to repair it. The Caual Company hod
placed a lot of bfuefi and some heavy t.nib'erS la
the river, which prevented tbe washing consider
ably, yet during the whole day on Sguday, the
embankment kept falling In, and was washed
away.
Quito a large amount of drift wood passed
down the stream, and a large number of persous
were engaged in catchlug ths floating timber's.
On Mouday the water commenced falllug, and
fours of a high freshet were abandoned. , i

Hiuh up lu my chamber window,
Floating on the midnight air,
Come, the strains of dulcet music
While I'm sweetly dieaming tliero j
- While my soul is upwards lifting
Upwards to the sku-s above
Like l lie muic of l lie fiois .
Comes up tliuli of li isslei's dogs
Fills the circumambient air, .
While I'm sweetly dreamiug thois.
Willie my weary head i6 pillowed,
Free from every anxious caro, ,
Softly in my window stealing
Soltly on the midnight ulr
Like music from u thousand frogs
Comes up thut uf Basslcr's dogs.
In spring time, alien the Sabbath eve'
Bulls break the silence of the day, i
In thoughtful mood I then my chamber's
Silence seek, but cannot say
How soon, like music of the frogs,' ,, .
Will cheer my soul from Bustler's )ogs.
