NARROW E.cArE.--Yesterday afternoon,
the 3 so train Of cars for Baltimore was de-
tanned about fifteen minutes by the non arri-
val of the passengers by the Orange and

the track, near the carve at Paine's branch.
A man and bis wife, walking on the road,
noticed the obstacle and stationed themselves
t. warn the approaching trains. The man
saw ne train approaching the curve and be-
gan to make Signals to the engineer, who, ap-
pretending the danger, directed the brakes
to be put down, ADD the train was stopped
about six feet FROM the tree. Another revo-
