A disastrious accident occurrcil to a passenger train on the Chester fc Ienoir Narrow Gauge road, near Hickory, N. C. The entire train, with the exception of the engiue ami lender, went down with a trestle, fire broke out in the wreck and both trestle and cars were burned to ashes. The accident occurred at the trestle two miles west of Hickory, and the train that went down was the west lxmnd train, comKsed of a baggage and ex press car and two passenger coaches. It was quite well filled with passengers, several ladies being among the number. The train approached the trestle at the usual' sliced, and the engine and tender h id just reached the western side when I .... - i ii there was a terrible crasn, ana an save the 'engine and tender went down in a wreck. The trestle was thirty feet high ami the fall of the train was terrific. As the cars struck ion the ground lielow they were shivered to pieces and the passengers were unable to explain how thev escaped with their lives. Not a single ixrson'on the train escaped unin jured, but the wonder is that some of tlwro were, not killed outricht. The debris took lire from the stove in the car, and within a short siiace. of time the wreckage of the cars and trestle were re duced to ashes. So far as can lc learned the list of the injured is as follows: Hev. Dr. Bell, of Lenoir, skull crush ed, and injuries fatah Conductor Waddell, slightly hurt. .1. E. Coffey, colored, jaw bone broken. The engineer and fireman were pain fully iujurcd, and the passengers were more or less hurt. The enrrine and tender crossed the trestle in safety, but turned over on their sides, burxini? the engineer and fireman under them. The cause of the accident is not known, but it is beheyed that a unir oftmck-e iumncd the tack as the train was crossing, and the bumping the wheels caused the trestle to fall.

The ancient Egyptians celebrated a funeral bj feasting and drinking while the work of embalming which took seventy days was coing on ;but through out all they remembered that no one U exempt from death, and to remind them ol the fact a skeleton was placed in the banqueting hall, where it remained dur ing the feast. Sacrifices were offered to the gods, and the flesh used for food among the priests and guests. In the ease of a great lord or rich person a costly monument was erected, but the poorer clashes were laid in the ground sometimes with no embalming, and at times even without a com. The Hindoes burned their dead and sometimes sacrificed human beings at the funeral of any personage of note. Tho suttee, or widow burning, among great personages was a very repulsive feature of the ceremony. The ceremonies were conducted amid feasting, singing by der vishes and dancing by girls. SoincJimcs the mourners lashed thcmseUes with knotted cords and sticks until they fell exhausted front exertion and loss of blood. There are in Africa almost a many aiuerent burial customs as there are tribes of negroes, each tril.o haviug its own peculiar ideas and manners. The majority of ttibes, however, bury the dead and destroy all property belonging to the deceased, even taking down the hous.. If it be a chief of high rank, the more barbarous tribes kill numbers of slaves to tenc him in the next world, and bury his favorite wife alive in the same grave with her deceased lord. The natives of Peru placed their dead in a sitting posture with the h'.ad be tween the knees and the arms crossed on the breast. Ropes of bark were tightly bound around the body, which was then wrapped in cloth and agsiu bound until it resembled a mass of cordage rather than anything else. Bodies thus pre served, and from which the air was cn entirely excluded, are constantly beii.g found among the ruins of the old cities devastated by the Spaniards. Tho an cient Mexicans observed much the same custom, adding to it the sacrifice of hundreds of human beings, in many rases the victims freely giving their consent to die, believing Hint by this means they more surelv reached the abode of their gods and enjoyed everlasting peace. Among our Indians the burial customs dtlicr somewhat, but all ccheve :u a Great Spirit, and in the mail .they are alike. The Indians of the eastern part of the country eat of the Mississippi 4ried their dead in almost all cases iu sitting posture, wrapped in a blanket.
