Tragedy Narrowly Averted.

What might have been a serious railroad) accident was narrowly averted at Junee, Australia, recently. A goods train from Junee was stationary at Bethungra railway station, and slightly in advance of her usual resting place, when the Sydney express to Melbourne, which does not stop at Bethunga, dashed past, striking the stationary engine of the goods train, cutting the buffer off and portion of the front of the engine woodwork was splintered to matchwood. The passengers naturally were greatly alarmed, and there was much rejoicing at the narrow escape from a dreadful death. '
