The came counsel has gone forth from thou-

criminal tells us the whole truth OF the mat

OF originally good impulses; it is rum that is
filing our prisons, feeding the galio'vs, and

large masses Of rocks suspended fearfuily

which was relied on to make things safe, be-

looked upon as certain for sometime, aud yet
cars filled with passengers continue to be
drawn at least twice a day. Such reckless
ness is without q parallel in railway man
agcment. A gentleman, who was too late
for the train, started to walk that evening
over the track from Lewistown to Suspension
