We quote from it a few instances of personal fidelity and bravery ;. . i JL A few years. S30 my friend Osborne, who has driven the locomoiive for the mail train on tho Morris and Essex Rail road for twenty years at least, with fault less- faithfulness, '"wai once delayed bv snow on-the track for several hours, but received explicit orders from the superin tendent not that splendid officer who lias lately resigned his office on the road to go ahead," for the road was clear, no other train was on the track. After sat isfying himself that he had not misunder stood the order he 'left the summit "ona steep down grade, and in round'iDg a sharp curve came on a train that was ascending the ame grade under foil head of steam. Ia "'an instant he - wliistled down he brakes-and reversed his engine.: The noble thing, under such a tremendous strain, as if fully aware of the danger, obeyed and threw itself back to avert the danger. ' 1 ' Meanwhile the other engineer had done the sams thir with his locomotive, but it was possible only to modify the shock. Together, rushed these two panting, and reluctant giants, their joint weight?, not less than sixty tens., with the gathered momentum of their following trains. They rose like two furious .animals in fight, standing on end ; and in a trice the two splendid machines were a wreck. The cars beLind tbea were alio bxdly crushed. Oibcrne did not leap from hi3 engine, but, never moving bi3 bands from " the levers which controlled it, he stood as resdute as a rock t his post until , the came, and then, quick as thou: adjusled his valves to allow the steam-to e-crpo without tm explosion.

During the war an incident occurred on the Pennsylvania Central, which was: re taiea 10 me or en eye-witness, fliy in formant was with a -regiment of soldiers going from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg in a special train. Between Johnstown and the summit they were delayed by a freight train off the track, or a part of its cars on. . inis they learned at one oi- the sta tions : and remained there until- they should be informed that the, track was clear. It was in the night, and most of the thousand men on the train were asleep, unconscious of their danger. V Four heavi ly loaded coal cars belonging to ther train ahead bad. by accident, become detached, and began the descent of the heavy grade at a speed which soon .became ' terrible. The engineer of the special train heard the roar of the descending cars, and surmised what was the matter. . In an .instant . he ordered his engiqe to be; detached .from the train,' and put on steam to meet the runaway cars if possible to' break their force and save his train. - ' r '""- - His locomotive was a large freight, and he had moved' several . rods ahead when the coal cars struck him, like a thunder bolt, and crushed his engine .back, on the train ; but fcii heroic courage . had Saved many lives.

Then opening the throttle valve, his engine sprang forward o vio lently as to break the connection with the traio, and dashed to the awful leap. x;The bold man, as this was going on, ran out of his window on the engine 'and -opened the escape valve.
