with the following :
" A switch look orthe N. Y., L. E. &
W. R. R.. has recently been found in a
field opposite the depot at Tioga-Centre,
supposed to have been tampered with
and taken from - the switch at the time of
the recent disaster to train , No. 12, at
that place. The lock shows signs of hav
ing received two heavy blows by, a crosii=
bar, one on each side of the latch, and
the latch was pried out of its lace in the
lock by a crowbar spread. The lock was
othgrwise more or less damaged and was
minus its key cover. The chain was at
tached properly to the lock, but the lower
link: 41U spread to- loosen it from the
switch fastening. The lock is - supposed
by the'people of Tioga — Zentre to have
.been broken from the switch and the

the discussion of subjects of importance
to farmers. .
J. ELLIOTT stated he was not a
