Wyoming County Mirror Warsaw, Wyoming Co., NY August 10-1852 Railroad Accident. Mr. E.P. Van LIEW, of this village, and his daughter, a girl ten or twelvve years old, were nearly killed last Tuesday, near the "Gulf Mill" in Gainesville. Mr. Van LIEW and daughter were going from this place to East Gainesville in a light double wagon. Those who have passed in that direction will recollect that just beyond the "Gulf Mill," in the edge of Gainesville, the carriage road passes on teh brow of the gulf, and the railroad close to it on the other side; and that at one place a wall is built some eight or ten feet high in order to make the carriage raod nearer the gulf than it could otherwise be--there being no railing between the road and the gulf at any place. When Mr. Van LIEW arrived near this wall the engine and a dirt train were standing close by, and the horses became somewhat frightened. Mr. Van LIEW urged and whipped them in order to make them pass; but they were so frightened that, just as they came opposite the wall, they turned and leaped down the bank, first striking some fifteen or twenty feet from the top of the wall, and continuing down the steep bank fifty or sixty feet further, till stopped by some small trees. The horses were not materially injured. Mr. Van LIEW was thrown thirty feet from the top of the wall, on some stones, and his skull was badly broken, so that when taken up, it ws supposed he could live but a few minutes. The girl was thrown over seventy feet from the top of the wall; and though not so badly bruised as her father externally, it was thought for several days she could not live. Drs. AMSDEN, of Gainesville, and MEACHEM of Warsaw, were immediately called, and found it necessary that Mr. Van LIEW should be trephined in order to relieve his brain from the pressure of the skull over the left eye, the size of a two shilling piece; after which he becane rational. At this time, (Saturday morning,) they both seem to be doing well, with a fair prospect of their recovery. We have been somewhat particular, in order that our readers may judge where the blame lies. We consider the place risk; and that certainly he should not have subjected his little girl to such danger. It is better even to be called cowardly than to risk our lives unnecessarily. And if Mr. Van LIEW wished to accustom his horses to the engine, we think he should have done it in a less dangerous place.--We hope this accident will be sufficient to put all our citizens on their guard whenever they are about the Railroad at any place. +++ submitted by Linda C.
