A shocking railway accident occurred on the Northern Railway at Canaan, N. Hamp- shire, a few daysago. I[t is supposed that some evil minded person had drawn from the rail the spike that held it, leaving the rail unconfined, as the bar was missing from the tool house near by. The engine and sleeping car had passed over the loose rail before moving it. ihe next two ears containing about one hundred persons, owing tu the dis- placement of the rail, were thrown duwn an embankment of some forty or fifty feet, turn- ing the cars complerely over twice. ft was thought at least thirty persons were more or less injured.
