The train was composed of twenty freight cars, heavily loaded, prin cipally with lumber and bridge timbers, and two passenger cars, one pretty well filled with and the other tor the accommodation of a party or Sunday school scholars, picnicking in the woods near Shawnee town When about three miles out from Kan sas City, and while turning a short curve, running over a high embankment, across a deep ravine, a sudden premonitory jerk warned us that an item was about to oc cur, and accordingly we sought the car door somewhat hurriedly, to take notes Sure enough, every pretty item was being made, as two of the freight cars were whirling down the embankment to the bottom of the ravine, fome twenty feet below, a third was rearing up, to settle down crosswise on the track, and the trucks of two others were off the rails.

Fortunately the train was going only at the rate of about six miles an hour, and consequently the passenger cars and three freight cars in advance of them stopped on the track, apparently astounded at the antics of the five cars preceding them. A brakeman named William Davis, who was standing on the top of one of the wrecked cars, was shot into the air like a cannon ball, and landed some thirty feet away, in some high weeds in the bottom of the ravine. We ran down immediately, to find his mangled remains, but met him creeping up the embankment, with blood streaming from an ugly cut over the eye. He simply remarked that if they didn't stop that nonsense, be would proba bly get killed sometime, and went on to the baggage car, to get a plaster tor the cut that and some bruises being the ex tent of his injuries. The wrecked cars all belonged to the North Missouri road, and the accident was caused by one of them jumping the track.

which, by the way, Is said to be a chronic habit with them. The trainmen took the matter coolly, and immediately set about clearing the track of the wreck, also sending aynes senger back for help. In less than one honr, the energetic Superintendent, Major Henning.was on the ground with another engine and a large force of laborers and trackmen. Under his efficient supervision the wreck was cleared, ties and new rails laid down, and by ten o'clock at night the balance of the train was put together, and sent on its way rejoicing or rather the passengers rejoiced. The worst part of the joke fell upon the acue picnickers, eignty or wnom were waiting through the long hours, in the brush beside the road, some eight miles above, wondering what had become of the train, and how they were to get home, and propounding other queries of the kind that commonly arise in the juvenile mind under such circumstances.

At eleven o'clock, however, they were all picked up out of the brush and darkness, and by midnight were safely set down at home at Olatbe, twelve miles beyond, where, doubtless, uneasy parents were regaled with some huge little stories ot experience It was not a very serious disaster, as it turned out, but does just as well to fill a local column as though all on the train were killed. We clip the following from the Kansas City Times of the 5th inst. The exhibition of Dan Rice's Circus in this city, yesterday, was an event in itself i ot no smaxi interest, jbor tne past two weeks, flaming posters and advertisements in the dailies gave notice to all that the original Dan Bice, the king of clowns and showmen, would be here to break the dreary monotony of the warm snmmer days, with his sallies ot fun and humor, and the various wonderful exhibitions oi his world-renowned circus. Promptly to time, nis caravan arrived yesterday morn ing, and the large tent was shortly pitched on the public square. Bands of music paraded the streets, and by the time for the afternoon performance the capacious canvas was well nlled with city and country folk, Africans and Indians, and a bits crowd ot Dy no means nomogeneous character.

The usual variety of circus performances were given The appearance of Dan him self was greeted with applause, and be kept the crowd in the best of humor, and improved on acquaintance. His secret of success is that he enters heartily into the spirit of the thing, and, as fie says, is never so nappy as wnen amusing tne cnu- dren. The exhibition of his celebrated blind horse Excelsior was really wonder ful. This animal is so fully educated that he understands the English language bj sound, and performed many tricks by command. The splendid Arabian horse was also an object of admiration and inter est; and the trained mules kicked them selves into a decided notoriety.

The best order prevailed, and, barring the beat, everybody enjoyea tnemseives nugeiy. Two more performances will be given to day, and as the best always comes last, none snouia miss tms nance ior visiting Dan Bice's great circus. Economical, He liable, the Bist.

The buggy was badly broken, and the girl, Martha Cause, was bruised a good deal. Railroad Busihess. An Idea may be formed of the immense business being done by the Kan sas Pacific Railway company at present, when we state the fact that eighty loaded freight ears stood on the aide tracks at State Line yesterday, destined for different points on the line. Two trains were brought up last evening, by Conduc tors Scoville and Sharer, each train consisting of thirty loaded cars In addition there were thirty cars loaded with cattle, in the train that met them at this point in the evening going east.

A little boy, Willie Whitehead, aged five years, was bitten on the foot by a rattlesnake, a few days ago.

The little fellow was out in the oat-stub-bltr, and returned crying, saying that something stung him.

The Chetopa Ad-ranee, after telling that Clarke, Speer, Hutchison and Gregg traveled in a lumber wagon, calls them the proprietors oi magnificent rockaways, and charges us with traveling that way for effect.

That is fanny. It happens that neither of them ever owned a carriage. The Tribcnk editor has a thirty-dollar dug-out; the nearest Clarke ever came to having a rock-away -was to own half an interest in a lightning-rod wagon; and Gregg and Hutchison always travel on foot when they cannot get a pass.

The truth is, our climate is in the main healthy one, and the diseases we do have are mostly of the bilious type, which the timely use of a proper liver stimulant would generally avert.

This is often neglected, owing to the indisposition of mostpr rle to take calomel or blue mass; But Woodward's Blood and Liver Reno vator contains no mercury iu any form.

An election was held in Miami county on Thursday last, to vote on the propositions to subscribe $125, COO in county bonds in aid of the contemplated railroad from Boldeu, Missouri, to Paola, and $100,000 for the road from Paola to Emporia, via Garnett. The propositions were submit ted together, and were.carried by about 750 majority.

on the south side of the island, just below Lawrence, last Sunday afternoon. Coro ner Summerfield held an Inquest over the body, and ascertained that the boy went in swimming with some other boys. One of the boys was swimming on his back, in deep water, and the witnesses expressed the belief that the deceased thought the other boy was creeping on the bottom and pretendiag to swim, when he plunged In towards him, got into very deep water, and sank. The other boys were all small, and could give him no assistance, but left the water at once, and gave the alarm. One of the boys, a lad of six years, said he saw the body rise five or six times.

The body was secured within half an hour. but life was extinct. The jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning while bath ing. Young Swenson had no relatives in this country, except a brother but little older than himself. Over at Liberty.

The eclipse on Saturday, as tar as Law rence is concerned, was a sheer humbug. The murkiness that prevailed all day was merely made a little more murky for an hour or so, and the great event was over. Some people were inclined to doubt that there was any eclipse at all. One philosophic and religious darkey utterly ig nored the fact, and declared that the whole thing was in the hands of God, and hu mankind couldn't never know nothing aforehand about when anything that God had something to do with was coining Which view of the case makes the ways of Providence more mysterious than ever, and more hopelessly "past Hading out." Some preparations were made for viewing the phenomenon, but as an eclipse can be seen only when it is visible, people in this vicinity were sadly disappointed. The eclipse seems, however, to have caused a return of the late wet and cold' weather.

We are sorry this, for gloomy experience of the last half-year deprives us of all hope of seeing the sun again be fore A. D. 1S70. If the homeopathic dic tum obtains in celestial matters, we wDl have to wait for another eclipse to restore the weather to equilibrium. Tbx Charter Oak.

A friend of ours has now in use one of these handsome and valuable cooking stoves. We think that we hazard nothing in saying that, all in all, it has no equal. Its size, its shape affording the greatest convenience, and its numerous and durable vessels, entitle it to the preference over any stove of which we have any knowledge. Another great advantage it possesses is that, owing to its capacity and4raft, you can burn almost any kind of wood, and, on account of its substance and retention of heat, yon can run it with green wood alter it is heated i or by having a small amount of kindling material; and those having to prepare fuel for the ordinary small stoves will readily appreciate this advantage.
