A Smash Up
   A collision occurred upon the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville Rail Road, on Wednesday, between the Tennessee River and Paris, by which two locomotives and tenders and two baggage cars were wrecked. No one was hurt. Both trains were out of time, but why they were out of time, or why they should run into each other, even if they were, we did not hear explained.
