DANIEL SAULSBURY INJURED

A little after six o'clock last night an accident occurred on the N. Y. Central railroad at Canandaigua, which resulted in serious injury to Daniel SAULSBURY, a brakeman on freight train No. 59. He was engaged in coupling a box with a flat car, and being caught between them was so severely crushed that his collar bone was broken. He was taken to the Canandaigua Hotel, where Dr. BENNETT attended him. His injuries are not regarded as fatal. At 12 o'clock he was taken to Syracuse, where he lives.

DID THE DOG SUICIDE

Mat. DOLANTY'S fox terrier was killed to-day in a strange way. His owner went out and the dog wanted to follow him but was not allowed to do so. The dog then ran up stairs and reached the Mansard roof, along which he ran and jumped off, falling in Market street, on the pavement and soon died. How he happened to jump out in the street is a mystery. Jerome DOWD said it was disgust at the result of the election. The dog was of a rare breed and highly valued.

ANOTHER SAVED FROM DROWNING

Michael CONWAY, bridge tender at the West Main street swing bridge, this morning about 4 o'clock saved from drowning in the canal, a man named Richard CONLAN from Ontario, Wayne county. CONLAN fell in the water near the swing bridge while he was intoxicated, and although a pole was placed within his reach by CONWAY, he was too drunk to catch hold of it. CONWAY managed to attach the pole to the clothing of CONLAN and hauled him on land. He was insensible when taken out and a physician was sent for, but the first called would not go to the scene. The bridge tender did all he could to revive CONLAN by giving him stimulents, rubbing, &c.
This is the third man saved from drowning by CONWAY within a few weeks.

A RUNAWAY BOY

Charles McGRANE, aged 15 years, has been in this city a few weeks, having ran away from Bradford, Pa., where his mother resides. He has tried to get employment, but, being small for his age, has not been able to earn enough to live on. Ike SPEARS helped him all he could and protected him from some mean boys who were abusing him as a tramp. He concluded to go back to Bradford, and Superintendent McGONEGAL gave him a pass. His father formerly lived in this city, but removed to Pennsylvania years ago, and died there eight years since.
