LEFT HIS TRUSKs.-A chap who had signifed
to the bystanders his intention of taking the
10 O'Clock train on the 4th "for Pennsylvania" I"
(and his intention was backed BY the purchase
of through ticket,) had his trunks-two in
number--set down on the platform in the De.
pot, and coolly awaited the starting of the train
without asking to have them put aboard, or
making any effort to do so himself. He seems
ed to think they would go aboard as if by mag
ic, and when asked ifhe did mt intend to have
his baggage put on the cars, he answered
"never mind" The bystanders whose inter-
est in the verdant one was thus repulsed, took
him at his word, and "did MT mind" The
train started in few minutes afterward, and
the fellow apparently surprised that the trunks
didn't mount into the baggage car, hslloed
with all his might But the train moved on;
aud castings lingering look at the trunks, he
broke for the cars, and barely effected lands
ing upon the platform. The trunks left have
no special marks upon them; but the fellow
"folks" may have gumption enough to write
for them. and direct where they shall be sent
