A few nights after,,another coal train WEIS thrown off the rails, as, in the- for mer case, however, without harm to the men ; but this second attempt spurred me on, so that certain suspected persons were speedily in custody.

The Irishmen were violent men in their cups, but most certainly incapable of the atro cious act of which they were accused. Scarcely had a week passed when the whole neighborhood was thrilled with horror. At a distance of twelve miles from the town where I lived was an other town, to which our tradesmen re sorted in numbers every Wednesday to market. - In the evening, the last train, as usual, bore its numerous passengers to their homes. It was ? summer-time, and merrily they dashed along the rug ged hank of a mountain-river, winding in amongst the hills. But soon the pic ture was changed; turning a curve in full career, the engine left the rails, and cutting deeply into the embankment, rolled on its side, fortunately having continued just a sufficient time in pro giess to break the shock of the carriages.

While messengers were dispatched to the nearest station, others sea#ched along the route for the cause of the mishap. It was soon found. The scene of the accident was a curve, and the rail nearest .to the river had been forcibly removed. The miscreant —for it was soon seen that the villains had been there—had fortunately been ignorant of mechanics. He had taken up the rail by the ravine—for .I have omitted to mention that there was a steep precipice at this point—and natu rally through that the train, with its load of human life, v. - ouldhave tumbled over. The rail next to the river was the "safe" one, and so the engine simp ly_pleughed along towards the scarp of the mountain. enuis antic abng the- When the details of this lucky escape • lied me, I felt that my reputation was a . : !e.

"Now, I then, for the driver," said I, and march led to his lodgings. I found him a qui t et, inoffensive sort of a young fellow, i not a likely man to have a malignant 1 enemy.

He thought there had been one, a carpenter? but, quoth the driver com placently smoothing an incipient heard, "She has no lover now but me." "Where does this carpenter live?" •'About half a mile from the farm," he answered ; and with that I left, fully satisfied now that I was on the trail. The morning after, and at the scene of the accident, I had found a large thick stake, cut evidently from the ad joining wood. This had been used to pry up the rail from the sleeper. Ex amining it minutely, I saw that it had been cut recently, and that with a notched-knife. So, with this ideauppermost, I started ou the mission, and after a pleasant drive reached the little hamlet where the carpenter lived. This district vs as very mountainous and rugged ? and as I mounted a winding road towards the house, I could hear the monotone of the river at which so narrow an escape had taken place. Yonder was the scene. Was the the criminal here? The door was soon opened to my knock, and by the carpenter himself, a cool, self-pos ssed young man, Who seemed to read my errand in a moment, yet asked me what I wanted; without the change of a muscle. I entered into his little room, and told him I had a suspicion he could enlighten me on the case of therailway accident. 1` , :o, he couldn't; he had heard of it, like the re2t. N.Vould be allow me to ~ learch him? Certainly; and forthwith various ar ticle were in my hand. On his person I found two pocket knives, each of which would have served to cut the stake. As I paused a moment, and held them in my hand, he heedlessly observed: "That knife" (pointing to one) "I only put into my pocket this looming, as I generally keep it at home." I opened the knife'. the blade was notched ; and looking up from the ar ticle to the carpenter, caught his eye. We knew one another's thoughts in an instant; but he accompanied me tran quilly enough to the town. At the trial, the knife figured in evidence; various corroborating matters satisfied the jury of his guilt ; he Was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. It turned out afterwards that he loved the farm-girl, and was incited by jeal ousy to the act which so nearly caused so 1 rightful an accident. Forall I know, the driver still dwells in single blessed ness, for themaid is still a maid, as to sy-cheeked tis ever, and, it is said, is waiting for the carpenter's return ! CorrtspiOnut.

On t e 22,1 o I Jane we volunteered in, teamsters in a train consisting of 52 wagons, loaded with machinery for quartz and saw mills, belonging to a company gotten up in our honest Qua ker Slate. Our trip, though tedious, was not monotonous, owing to the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians who, having lately been provided with arms and mu nitions by Fort Officials, were very an noying—our train being attacked sev eral times, though fortunately without loss of life. Our train was the only one that accomplished the trip via the Bow man cut-oil without losing from one to twenty npen each, killed by the Indians. Nearly Avery day we passed newly; made graves, with headboards stating that the occupants tell victims to Indian barbarity; and in many instances, the wolves having exhumed the remains, the clothing 4.. e. scattered about afforded a most melancholy spectacle. We ar rived here on the :'.d of October after a most tedious and clangorous tiip, and admit beg greatly disappointed.

The company in whose employ we are and ha:•e been since leaving the.

A pleasant half day's work suffices to cut open as many houses as you have traps, and you take to your bunk at night with pleasant anticipations of fur. Next morning it happens to be a trifle less rosy ; thermometer at zero, wind from the west, and snow sweeping about the lakes and marshes most freeziugly, but the traps must be overhauled, so, after one breakfast and four irresolute smokes, you get your grit up and start out, artned with a two bushel bag and a small az ; the latter to cut into the houses, the former to carry wet rats in. Arrived on the ground, you at once proceed to business, cut into a house, find water inside frozen over owing to the house not being properly closed; cut - the trap out t.that houce spoiled for the winter) and go on. Open next house, trap gone, and chain leading down a cavernous hole ,of unknown depth—rat in the trap of course: you pull gently on the chain to test if the critter be alive, and, as there is no responsive kick or strug gle, decide that he is dead. Now; to at tempt lifting the trap by its chain is to pull a leg off and lose the rat ; so you bare your arm to the shoulder and com mence following the icy chain with your hand, down, down among roots, grass, tangled rushes and mud, until at la.t you have hold of the trap, feeling your way to the animal with some mis giving, when, presto! you get a sharp nip on and into your index finger, and your half frozen hand is withdrawn suddenly—rather. The critter is lively as a cricket, and pugnacious as a prize tighter, and you go to the bank, some twenty rods off, cut a red willow hook, and finally succeed in dragging the un fortunate rodent front his mysterious hole, entangled with a half bushel or so of grass, roots, and mud, knock him °lathe head, bag him, close the house, and go through a series of insane gym ua.stics for the next five minutes to keep from freezing, before going to the next trap. The programme varies at differ ent houses, as do the houses also. Some of the animals refuse utterly to drown themselves, but stay on the small shelves and partitions where they sleep in winter, tearing the houses in pieces, and fighting the tray with tooth and nail—these give the least trouble.— Others drown themselves heroically and are fished up with some difficul£y, while a few are found dead and dry in the trap, resting on the little shelves afore said, having perished through lack of constitutional vitality."
