LOCAL & DISTRICT INTELLIGENCE - COCKERMOUTH continued........................ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CURIOUS ACCIDENT AT BRIGHAM RAILWAY STATION. - On Monday last a curious accident occurred at Brigham Railway station.  The 2.26 market train from Cockermouth through the want of brake power, dashed through Brigham station instead of stopping, and proceeded a considerable distance along the rails before it could be checked.    The train was not pushed back to the station, and the consequence was that the passengers who wished to leave it had to jump a considerable height from the carriage steps to the ground.    One of the passengers, MRS. HARRIS, of Great Broughton, received what were at first thought to be severe injuries to her leg in thus jumping.  We understand, however, that the injuries were not of so serious a nature as was at first feared, and that MRS. HARRIS is recovering. _____________________________________________________________________ GREAT BORUGHTON BAPTIST SUNDAY-SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The anniversary of this Sunday-school was held on Wednesday afternoon last in the grounds of MR. R. WILSON, of Broughton Grange.  The scholars first went through the grounds of MR. J. J. HARRIS, and from thence to Little Broughton, where several hymns were sung.  They then marched on to Great Broughton, and from that village to Derwent Bank, the residence of MR. JOS. W. HARRIS, when cards were distributed amongst the scholars by the MISSES HARRIS.  The children then proceeded to the grounds of MR. R. WILSON where they were supplied with tea;  their friends partaking of the same refreshment afterwards.    The following ladies presided at the tea tables: - MRS. STEWART,  MRS. ROUTLEDGE,  MRS. ALLISON,  MRS. SCOTT,  MRS. GRAHAM, MRS. J. LISTER,  MRS. K. LISTER,  MRS. WAUGH,  MRS. LOCKHART,  MRS. H. LISTER,  and  MISSES LISTER, KELT, M'CALL, and KIRKBRIDE.  MRS. L. WILSON also made herself very active in attending to the wants of the scholars.    We must not omit to mention that before tea was partaken of, the usual prize books were distributed amongst the scholars by MR. R. WILSON.  After tea a public meeting was held;  MR. R. WILSON occupied the chair.  Speeches were delivered by the REV. T. L. JOHNSTONE, and MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTONE, of Cockermouth.  A vote of thanks to the chairman, the speakers, and the ladies was passed unanimously.  The meeting broke up with the singing of an anthem. ==============================================================
