FATAL ACCIDENT--On Sunday evening last, as the train, loaded with ties, was returning from Manchester, owing to a bend in the rails, a
part of the cars were thrown from the track, about a mile from our depot, and a man named James McComb was so badly injured, that he died within seven hours afterwards.The deceased was about 25 years old and leaves a wife and child living at Manchester.
