In another column will be found the particulars of another shocking accident to a Centennial excursion train, which occurred on Monday evening last, on the D.L.&W. Railroad, near Gouldsboro, Pa. It will be seen that among the victims of the disaster are some from this County.
David R. Pierce of Hamilton [Madison Co. NY], who is one of the killed, was a few years since a resident of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], where he worked at his trade as a painter. He was well known to many of our citizens, as an estimable young man, and his death causes a feeling of sadness among his acquaintances. His stricken wife, who was seriously and perhaps fatally injured at the same time, was formerly Miss Julia Boyle, of Greene [Chenango Co. NY], where her parents reside. It is said that Mr. Pierce declined to take the Midland Centennial train, which he had at first thought of doing, because of the accident last week. he had a life insurance policy of $5,000 and his wife one at $3,000, also an accident policy on himself of $3,000. They have one child, a daughter.
Mrs. A.L. Tuttle, Mrs. LO. Norton and Hugh Reilly of Columbus, Albert Thomas, of Sherburne, and J.R. Smith, of Greene, are reported among the injured, but we are not informed as to the extent of their wounds.
Hamilton, it will be seen, suffers severely from this, as in the Midland accident of a week ago. Morrisville and Earlville also suffer heavily.
The bodies of Mr. Bragg of Clayville [Oneida Co. NY] and Mr. Pierce, of Hamilton were brought upon the Tuesday evening train, accompanied by several of those injured. One car was switched upon the Midland Road at this station and dispatched to Hamilton. It contained the remains of Mr. Pierce and his wife and other survivors form the wreck.
An excursion party of teachers of the Syracuse city schools, with their friends, numbering something like six hundred had made arrangements to take the Midland excursion train to Philadelphia on Monday last, but the accident of last week caused them to take another route. They were, we understand, passengers on the Wrecked D.L.&W. train.

Mrs. Benedict had been in feeble health for several months, but the end was not speedily anticipated until a few hours before her death, when the vital powers seemed suddenly prostrated, and she sank peacefully to rest. In this bereavement an affectionate daughter remains the only surviving member of the family, and orphan indeed. May He who comforteth as "one whom a mother comforteth" be her help and support.
