Albany Ward has been in the employ
Of the Central Railroad for long period
of years, and is one Of the oldest con.
ductors in the country. Invariably ac-
oommodatiug and polite, he Is particular
ly attentive to the ladies, aud always
manages to make himself favorite with
those Of the fair sex who accompany the
trains undcr his direction.
A short time since, when train under
his direction was on ils way east from
Utica. one Of those interesting incidents
occurred on board the train, which adds
to the visible number Of passengers, but
scarcely ever increases the profits Of the
trip. Ward, rs soon as he discovered the
condition Of che lady, hustled about, and
with the train running forty miles an
hour. fixed up portion OF the express
car, and had her conveyed thereto, A
physician by the name Of Beecbef was
on the train. His services we're imme-
diately put in gequisition, and in short
time Ward had the pleasure OF anhoun7'
ing to his anxious passengers, that moth
er and babe were doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances,
The mother was a poor woman, and as
soon as il became known, Ward went n
round with hat and in short time a
handsome sum Of money was collected,
aud Jim with his countenauce absolu ely
fltering Of happiness, took IL TO the
mother. After he re.appeared the pass
engers proposed that the child should be
named. No sooner said than done Jim
went in and got the baby. with the CON
sent Of It's delighted mother brought it
out, when il was proposed that it should
be named James Ward after jim. and
Beecher after the physician who had pro-
fessibuly attended the mother. Itwts
adopted by acclamation, aud amid a gen
eral shout and appreciation the blb' was
named james Ward Beecher---,' Jim
with smile of ill.cOLcealed delight, was
Juggling off his little namesake, when
some Of the ladies requested TO see The
little baby. 1t was passed from hand loI
hand among the ladies. all admring the
little bundle, but at the same time a. gen
eral disposition to smile aud stud hand
kerchieis in their mouths, became mani
fest among the women. Jim wondered
in vain, what this subdued laughter
meant, until the babe wsS handed TO an

women blushed and screamed; the men
shouted and held their sides. In the
