THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT. June 28. The reported accident on the railway arose from the following circumstance : Yesterday morning, Mr. and Mrs. Berry, elderly people, were driving near the railway crossing at Templeton, when the train came up, and frightened the horse, which bolted and upset the trap. The occupants were thrown violently out, and Mr. Berry fell on his head and broke his neck, whilst Mrs. Berry sustained a severe fracture of her right arm. It is a somewhat singular fact that Mr. Berry's daughter is married to a son of Mr. White, who was stabbed at the Lunatic Asylum yesterday, so that each loses a parent on the same day, and very nearly about the same time.
The Board of Education has resolved to recommend the various School Committees to establish a system of penny savings banks in their schools. A man named John Fraser was found dead on the floor in his bedroom yesterday morning. He is supposed to have died in a fit.
