AN ACCOMMODATING RAILRoAD.-Everybody has
heard of the railroad down in Georgia, where the
conductor was SO accommodating that, when a
lady passenger asked for water. he got off the
train, blocked the wheels Of the car, and went to
a spring, a quarter Of 9 mile away, to fetch the
desired beverage. We have a case to match this.
On the Peoria, Oquawka and Burlington railroad,
they run a combined express and stock train, Cd
which they carry hogs and humanity, paying
quite as much attention to the former as to the
latter. Oue day last week a porcine quadruped
escaped from the train at Greensbush when about
midway between that city and Elmwood, and
forthwith the express and stock train" was
brought to a dead halt, for the purpose Of captur
ing his swineship. An exciting chase of half ar
hour followed, in which the passengers were call
ed out to join, when potky was run down, re
turned to his fellows, aud the express and stock
train" moved on its way. Great institution thai
