HOOP DE-DOODLE-DOO--We understand that there will be a new fashion on here this summer from Paris. It is something in the way of wearing apparel for gentlemen, called hooped, unmentionables; which are "excruciatingly" cool for summer wear. This fashion was invented by an ingenious Yankee, to protect Gentlemen's locomotors, while walking with the Ladies. In the meantime we would advise all who ants the latest styles and the best made garments ready made or made to order, to visit PYLE'S EASTON HALL OF FASHION, opposite the old Easton Bank. It is admitted by all, that he gets up the best garments for the least money of anyone in the trade in Easton. His motto is large sales and small profits. Don't forget the place, 4 doors above the Court House in Northampton at Easton, Pa.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.--A collision, we learn, occurred at Morristown on Thursday night about 12 o'clock, between a freight train on the Morris railroad and a train engaged in carrying stone. The latter was a special train, and owing to the freight train being ahead of time was unable to get out of its way. On seeing the freight train approach, the engineer of the stone train run back as far as it could, while those on the freight train also attempted to stop, but could not do so altogether. They came together, and the collision resulted in the breaking of a cow catcher of one and the trucks of the other. No persons were injured.--Trenton State Gazette.

RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNED.--Loss $20,000.--The large bridge on the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, at Bloomsbury, about seven miles from Easton, was
destroyed by fire on Saturday night last. A train of coal cars passed
over it about 10 o'clock at night, and at half past 11 o'clock a woman
residing near the western end of the bridge discovered it to be on fire
near that end. She immediately gave the alarm but the flames spread
with great rapidity and the entire bridge was consumed. It was an
expensive structure, about six hundred and fifty feet in length, with four
spans, heavily arched. The loss will exceed twenty thousand dollars.
The piers and abutments were not insured.
But little delay to passenger
or freight cars will be caused by the accident, as arrangements have been
perfected to run trains to each side of the bridge, occupying but a few
moments to change passengers from one train to another.
A large force of men
will be put to work today to erect trestle work and lay a track upon it
to used until the bridge is reconstructed.--This trestle work can most
probably be completed for crossing, in the course of ten days and the bridge
will be rebuilt with all possible haste.--Eastonian.
