ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED.
PALMERSTON N., Jan. 19. A narrow escape from another railway accident occurred in the Square at 10 o'clock this morning. As a train was approaching the Post Office crossing a carrier's express made as if to pass in front of it. Apparently the carrier did not notice the proximity of the train till he was within a few feet of the line. He pulled his horse sharply round, just as the train rushed past. 'Had the horse gone straight on for a couple of yards a disaster would have occurred.
