Passed Safely Over Piston Rod.

An express train from Inverness to Perth, Scotland, had a miraculous escape from serious accident, the other day, on the summit of the Grampians near Dalnacardoch. One of the Alston rods of the engine gave way, and getting on the line was passed over by the wheels of the following vehicles. The passengers were disturbed by the Jarring, but the train kept the rails. The locomotive succeeded In proceeding slowly with one piston to Blair Atholl, where a fresh engine was secured.
