Off the track
   Yesterday morning, while a train of empty cars, was being removed from the Fredericksburg {Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR} to the {Richmond &} Petersburg depot, a passenger coach attached sheared off from the track at the corner of Eighth and Grace streets, and did not stop till it had cleared itself entirely from the rails and proceeded a few yards up Grace street. Hands were immediately set to work getting it back on the track.
