learns that some diabolical fend attempt
ed, a few nights since, to throw the eve
ming train on the Mount Holly Railroad,
off the track by placing across it a rail,
at the commencement of the deep cut, just
this sike of Mount Holly. Two Of Sheriff
Dobbins' sons happened to cross the rail-
road at that point, saw the obstruction,

sequences of the act, removed the rail but
a few minutes before the train came along.
It is a great pity. that the villains who
are guilty Of such dcspicable acts, cannot
be discovered and made to suffer the ut
most penalty Of the law.
