The Portland {Oregon) Bulletin, of Nov. 10, contained the following thrilling adven- re 1 -- Yesterday there occnrred on the Oregon accident. The following particulars, furnished to our reporter by an eye witness may be relied on as true : When the down train came near one of the stations on the road it was running at full speed, in order to make vp lime, as it wasa few minutes behind. The road at this point rons through a cot something more than a mile in length, and in entering it the road makes a curve, so that the engineer cannot see entirely through it. Hehad hardly gotten into the cut befors he saw u woman riding leisurely tivough it, dieing the centre She was not more than half way throvgh the'eut, and barely a quarter i He immediately whistled ¢ down brakes,' and then sounded the warning. The woman, hearing the peculiar death whistle of the locomotive, looked over her shoulder and saw the train rushing ut her. She did not shriek, nor faint, nor give up all hope, but, like a true Webfoot, her cour- age rose equal to the emérgency, and with- out a moment's hesitation she commeéneed swinging her riding-whip from one should- er of her steed to the other, thereby urging him to exert his utmostspeed. The shrieking of the locomotive's whistle vansed the passengers to look out of the windows, and upon tneir discovering what was tlie mater the wildest excitement en. sued. Several jumped forward and siezed the bell-1ope, ahd commenced pulling on it as if they could stop the train by that means. The breakesmen weie exerting all their strength on the breaks, and the engi- neer bad cut oft the connection and was do- ing all that hs kpew to stop the train, while the woman was doing her very best to urge that bit of horse-flesh to speed ; but, all in-vain, the locomotive was gaining on the horse and its rider, and there was bordly a person on the traifi who did not expect that both the womab and horse would ' be killed." Fhere was perhaps thirty feet interventing between the cow- catcher and the horse heels when, lortun- ately for the womgn she observed a place which was a little wider than usual, sud with a steady reins she guided the fleeing horsé from the track and endeavored to press him against the wall of the cut, in order that the train might pass by withcut injury.
