Blocked Up liy Snow--Rapid Transit It is disagreeable to think that the snow storms of a year to corns may find New York as nrach in their power as the present storm finds TO now.

Travel has been impeded everywhere in the city, and the difficulty of going from one end of the island to the other is something appalling to the ordinary mind. xThree hours' journey in a crowded horse car on a snowy day, with the thermometer twenty degrees below freezing point, is an experience once gained never forgotten. For the first fifteen minutes it may be jolly enough. People incline to gayety on snowy days as per- as they bend to moroseness on rainy The new arrivals in the horse car keep up the joviality. The insidious cold all this is seeking out the very marrow of the who entered the car at the HERALD office on his way to Harlem.

The fun becomes hateful. He stamps his feet, claps his "hands, rubs his and almost resolves on getting out to walk the rest of the journey. He may be man of some endurance and he through without mishap, although every joint in, his spinal column is aching. This is explained by the jfact that during heavy snows the lorse cars have an uncontrollable liking for (tunning off the track.

All our great deeds in India have been done on the basis or never looltins too far to advance of accepting the practical fact and eschewing the fine theory which has not accorded with tne lact, however ujly or clumsy the latter may have seemed. The practical fact here is chat Russia and Ensland may do each other immense good or immense harm, and that botn nations, when yon get at their real feelings, would prefer the lormer to the latter.

RUSSIA'S GRAND FOR ASIATIC TKBRITOBIAL DEFINITION.

Since the occupation ot Kuldja, in far northern eastern Central Asia by the Russians in 1871, their power of interposing between the saveral centres ol Moslem power in Turkestan has received lurther develooment. Affairs are tending, it is asserted, toward that imposing step in Asiatic organization said to be contemplated by the Czar, namely, the placing of the whole of Siberia under a viceroy, who will eventually assume the stvle of Governor General of all Asiatic Russia, including Tnrkestau: and one portion of this programme, it is said, will be the establishment of regular diplomatic relations between the Muscovite Viceroy of Siberia and the British Viceroy of India.

WESTFIELB, Dec. 25,1872. The frightful disaster or which I sent yon partial details yesterday proves more terrible as its horrors aro disclosed and rivals the saddest cases or the kind that have ever been recorded. As train No. 0--afternoon express going Northon the portion of the Buffalo, Corry and Pittsburg Kailroal known as the Cross-Cut, neared Prospect station the rear tract or the tender was thrown from the trade by the breaking of a wheel twenty- five rods before the train reached a high and dangerous trestle.

There was bat one bratemari on the and he was at his post, bat owing to the high grade of the descent the. train conld not be stopped, and as It reached the trestle the weight or the tenaer broke and swept off the ties, and the one baggage and one passenger car which made up the train were THKOTTK OFF TO' THE LEFT of the trestle, completely overturned and in a moment ignited and in flames. Two or three of the employes who were unhurt and the inhabitants of the nearest houses rendered all the assistance in their power, and help was telegraphed for to Mayviiie and Brocton, both seven miles distant. In a short time two trains were oa the spot with physicians and help, and the wortc of rescue went forward as fast aa possible. Twenty-one persons were taken alfve from the wrecK.

One died at once, and only three of the others are la a. dangerous condition. Only two persons, as far as known, escaped entirely unhurt. NINETEEN BODIES have been.

Owing to the ntense darkness of the evening I was unable to trace tte canse of the disaster further than a broken wheel. At an early hour this morning was on the spot and found the Jrst iragments, which, were broken irom the tender wheel on thspot where the fracture occurred. Tne accident was undoubtedly occasioned by the wheel coming in contact with" the end of a sound raij which projected above tUc one nest wlilcti was much worn and worthless, THE TWO CAKS and fell on their tops and the weight of the trunks above crnshed them in and helplessly entangled the poor wretches underneath a mass of timbers, rods, and chains, which held down the flooring of the car and retarded all efforts for assistance.

At Eureka, a small station on the Wilmington, Charlotte and Kathenord Bailroad, in the heart of Scuffletown region, and about eighty miles from this city, there was a considerable Christmas lathering of the clans of the outlaws on Thursday. Steve Lowery was absent, but ANDREW A. STRONG WAS THEKE, with a number of his friends. At about two o'clock the day, while a number of negroes were in a store at the station, one of them stole a number of ocks and secreted them in tis pocket. He was charged with the theft by a young man named Wiliam Wilson, a clerk in the store, but he denied havina taken them.

Mr. Wilson then put his hand the man's coat pocket and drew forth the locks. Hie crowd soon afterwards left the store. About an hour after this, Andrew Strong, who had evidently been drinking, came into the store and OBnEEED MB. WII50X TO'LBAVE THE COrOTT, wearing that if he did not he would kill htm.

The onng man informed Sim that he would do so, whereupon Strong left the store. About five ''clock he returned, more intoxicated than before, md repeated his commands, telling Mr. Wilson hat if he found him there at six the next morning he would certainly till him. After saying this the utlaw turned to leave the store, and as he did so Wilson raised a double-barrelled gnn that was at hand and discharged one barrel at the outlaw, 'LASTIXG EIGHTEEN ECCESHOT IS HIS SECE AS1 HEAD. Strong fell with scarcely a groan and expired at nee.

The fall of the outlaw at once spread con- ternation and dismay throughout the group of his followers, but no attempt was made to in- erfere with Mr. Wilson. Had Stephen Bowery 'een there it wight have been different, bnt he was absent, and no attempt was made to rescue he body. Rhodv Lowery, the widow of Henry lerry Lowery, the defunct outlaw leader, and sister of Andrew strong, sent in a depn- ation. requesting that the body be de- ivered ap to her, but this was of course efnsedi Word was sens to them at the same time Mr.

Wilson that he would shoot the first man who.dared to touch, the body. Kevertheless, fear- ng a rescue might be attempted, Mr. Wilson and number of other gentlemen hastUy placed the iod in a wagon and conveyed it to Lumberlown, rriving there at two A. M.

Mr. Wilson is quite a young man nt one of much nerve and determination. He is rom.
