TAKING A RIDE,-At Bordentown,
N. J., the other day, the managers Of
the railioad to Trenton were put to a
non-plus: The locomotive which was
to carry the morning train TO Trenton
was missed, and could be no where
found. The engineer was compelled
to get another, with which he went to
Trenton, where he found the runaway.
1t seems that some time during the night
an insane fellow had gone to the engine,
made fire, took in water, creased the
machinery, and then set off on an ex-
cursion of his own down the road. He
passed all the stations at flying pace,
and did not stop until he had reached
Trenton, where he said that he only
wanted to see how fast he could make
the thing go. That he escaped destruc-
ton is almost miraculous.

life upon the Vermont Central Railroad,
during the recent freshet:
The lives of two car loads of passen.
gers on the Central road escaped most
imminent danger. The train ran safe

Randolph, wheie one Of the abutments
had settled, leaving one end of the
bridge sustained only by the superstruc-

passed, the bridge had settled about
four feet; but the cars were strong-the
connecting bars held-and the engine
literally snatched the train from the
jaws of death.

DEAR JouRNAL:-Every paper now-a-

persons to leave good homes in the States, TO
seek fortune in this country. BY the pa

the overland emigration this year will be
much larger than the last. The amount Of
suffering they must endure on the way, is

themselves at home, before they reach here.

thor'sing it to be published in the next edition
Of his book. This is positive falsehood !;
us hundreds who crossed the Dcseret las,
fall and winter, will certify. There is no
river or running stream and think it would
puzzle him to find hole Of water, waist
deep, anywhere in the vicinity of the Deseret.

Whatever he thinks, he speaks. At one
