Accident on The Dagus. Koad.
Tuesday, March 7, 1882, a train of
wra loaded w ith logs met with an acci
dent on the Duguseahonda Coal road
a mile from Daguscahonda Station ou
the trestle. A rail tipped over throwing
the engli.e over and down a distance
of about fourteen feet. It is said that
the engine rolled over and over. It is
new oue built at the Brook's locomo
Uve works, at Dunkirk, N. Y., and
cost lu the neighborhood of $12,000 as
we are Informed. The locomotive Is a
complete wreck. Engineer, McDe
wilt, went over with the engine, and
crawled from under the wreeK un
harmed, his escape being remarkable
Indeed. John Bailey, fireman Jumped,
as did Sid Almy and two trackmen
who were aboard nt the time.
The account given by our Fox
correspondent of the run away on the
Kersey railroad is an exciting one
when we look at it in all its points.
At the top of a NuniuiU, with a grade
of nine Inches to sixteen feet was left,
as wan supposed secure, lour cars load
ed with loa. and h man left lu watch
them. Hardly had the engine which
pushed them to the top left ou "the re
turn trio before the cars broke loose
and rushed with a rapid rale down the
hill. The engineer, W. II. Scudder,
with remarkable presence of mind, in
the face of this great danger, put into
execution apian to nave the train, and
also the locomotive. He put on a full
head of steam and dashed down the
track in advance of the flying train,
and at the foot of the grade succeeded
In stopping it. . .Many a one would
have jumped, as did the man who whs
on the engine with Mr. Seudder.

Mh. Editor Thinking an Item or
two might prove acceptable to you,
and interesting to the readers of Ad
vocate in this vicinity, will send you
a lew :
On the ( veiling of the 7th there
gathered at the residence of Mr. Peter
Thompson, Esq., a few friends and
relatives for the purpose of pulling
tally, and bidding "God speed the
wcil'' to Mr. und Mrs. H. O. Thomp
son, of Luke City. Minn., who have
been spending the winter with their
many acquaintances iu old Pennsyl
vuuia. The evening passed quickly
una pleasantly to the merry partici
pants. "The song, the laugh went
'round "but the " Uuuee" was trans
formed into quiet games and sociable
conversation, until Walter thought
the "taffy" done (Dunn). After the
fun of "pulling" was over, the young
people repaired to the orchard (which
was dry but somewhat undulutory as
they who ran can testify) for a lively
" run for your supper " followed by
kindly said " good byes" and a gen
eral run for their respective homes,
twusa time long to be remembered
and a very enjoyable affair. " Herb "
is the eldest son and being anxious to
make his own way iu the world,
' struck out" in the spring of 1871,
for the " west," fell iu love with the
rolling prairie land of Minn., and would
undoubtedly have then taken up his
abode but was called home on account
of tho severe illness of his mother.
Again in 1873 lie started, but it was
not wholly the beautiful country that
charmed and held him captive, but the
sweet "prairie flower" which he
brought with him to spend the season
among the-pines, hemlocks and hills
of his native State. He is a man of
good principles as well as size, and
" wouldn't exchange his western home
for an eastern one if they would give
it to him.'1 So after a visit that seem
ed short to the recipients, on the ninth
anniversary of his second exodus he is
whirled away to the laud of " Cloudy
Water'' via Michigan, where they
will visit relutivesbf his wife, thence
to their home a few miles from Luke
City, which is hoped they will reach
in safety and where they will receive
a warm welcome from one and all.
May the " Power that shapes our
Destiny " guard und keep them from
all danger, may their future be bright
and full of happiness, and may their
puth through life be easy to tread, wide
enough for many friends, yet uarrow
enough to lead them safely to that
borne where those who meet shall part
no more, but enjoy a grand-forever iu
the Beulah Land " of God.

Pigeon Law.
Following Is the law relating to wild
pigeons:
No person shall catch, kill or disturb
wild pigeons while on nesting grounds,
under penalty of fifty dollars. No
person not a citizen of Pennsylvania,
may trap or net wild pigeons in any
county unless he shall have first tulcpn
out a license from the treasurer of tha
said county, and paid therefor the
sum of $50 for the use of tho county.

March 81st, 1883, is named as the
day when the great East River bridge
will first lie ready for use. The bridge
has cost, up to date, exactly fl3,4lJtS,

quarter millions more will, it Is
thought, do the work. The cars are to
be drawn over by an endless wire rope
kept in constant motion, and -are to
run on the circulating system- that is
to say, they will be drawn over on one
track and back ou the other, being
switched by motors from track to track
at t lie termini upon elevated platforms.
Under this plan trains would move at
the rate of ten miles 'an hour, and
could carry 7,000 passengers each way

One of the most brilliant and
thoroughly valuable historical works
which have appeared In many years
is Green's "iarger History of the

excels that in its adaptation to popular
needs, iu that it covers tho entire
period of English history, from the
earliest lo modern times, instead of u
brief portion us does Macaulay. It
richly deserves a pluce in the homes
of the masses, and we are glad to note
tliut It is now placed within their
reuch, being reduced in price from the

the horror and dismay of the juror.

to look Indifferent. The whiskey run
like chills along his side and onward
over his p intaloons. Au odor of whis

juror at the unfortunate's side began
to twist uneasily in his scat and sniff
the air Willi a wry face. He knew noth
