EXPRESS TRAINS.—We understand that the guards
who ride outside on the express trains between Manchester and
London have some difficulty in preserving their sitting, so strung is
the rush of air they experience. Last Tuesday several of the
guards complained of the danger they were in from the side wind.
We hope the directors of every line will arrange some adequate
mode of protection.—Manchester Guardian.
A man named Coulmnler, employed on the Bor
deaux and Teste Railroad, near Pessac, a few days back, seeing
two men loitering aJout, suspected that they meant no good, and
lay down en the line to watch them. The heat of the day over-
powered him, and he fell asleep. He was roused from his slumber
by a violent pain in his left foot. R was the train which had gone
over his toes and crushed them.
He was taken to the hospital,
where he is doing well.
