A CONSCIENTIOUS ENGINEER-On
last y edne8day evening, a Mr.. Cooper
was run over and killed by train Of
cars on the Hudson River railroad, at
Carmansylile, y. /. The accident was
unavoidable on the part Of the 6ngin-
eer, and the coroner's Jury exonorated
him from aIl blame. The deceased
was terribly man9Ied, and the dreadful
occurrence made deep impression on
the engineer, who saw the whole oc-
cnrence without the ability to prevent
It. The next day he did not drive his
locomotive; but the day following he
concluded to try it again, accompanied,
however by brother engineer. As
he approached CarmansviIIe, he be-
came instantly agitated, and upon pass
ing the place where the accident oc-
Cured, he tainted away. He never re-
viVed, and tlad the following evening,
literally broken hearted It is said he
was one OF the best engineers On the
road.

PADDY,s PEAs.-Some twenty-five
OF thirty years ago, an Irishman, VIM.
Patterson, left Erin's Green Isle to
find home in America. Having
friends in the region of Fair Haven,
Ohio, he made his way thither. TAX
ing dinner one day at the house of DR..
II, he was treated to the Ameri-
can dish, wholly new to him, of green
corn IN the ear. Unwilling, however,
to be thought green himself, or being
anxious to display unusual sagacity,
after having eagerly devoured the saw
ory corn his appetite still unap-p6ased,
and passed up the despoiled cob with
the very natural request: 'Piase put
some more 23ase on my stick.''
