A Railway Adventure.

1t was five minutes past seven, 7. NJ,
by the station clcck and consequen ly
within FIVE minutes of the time when the
Dillmouth train was advertised TO start
Most of the passengers had taken .heir
seats, but some two or three were standing
on the platform near the carriages, bent
on having last word with those they
were about to leave behind them.
II was wednesday night, and Wednes-
day was market day at Middlesham. The
train was therefore heavy one, and near
ly every compartment was full of passen
gers. 1t was usually five or ten minutes
late in starting on the Wednesday night,
owing TO the extra traffic; SO that | and
the other occupants Of the compartment
in which / had taken my seat were rather
astonshtd when, the pointer having barely
marked nine minutes past on the dial, the
train, without any preparatory whistle
moved off, was under the impression
that we were shutting for another car
riage, for such a thing as starting before
time was never known to have happened
at Middlesham; but when we moved past
the long platform, past the entrance-signal,
and through the bridge beyond, it became
apparent to us all that we were off. There
was was Simultaneous pulling out of
watches, and surprised looks passed from
one to the other, and to the still open door
of the carriage, as the conviction was
gradually forced upon us. The matter all
bowling along at fearful rate, much
quicker than any of us had ever expert
enced on any previous occasion on that
line of curves and ugly gradients, and a
dreadful fear began to show itself in our
faces--a fear which first found expression
from the gentleman have hitherto desig
mated as the second merchant.
1T is my belief" he said, that we are
run away with"
AS be said the words there was a horri
BILE, breaih-taking jumble Of lamps ant
wall, and clocks and handbills, and whit,
faces. as we dashed into and through an
. other station, and then away-away int
, the black, black night beyond. After tina
none of us doubted that our train was
runaway; and also that il was running
away to our certain destruction of nearl,
every passenger in it, unless somethin,
could be done to arrest IFS headlong caree
= and that very speedily.

feature could be recognized but from his
clothes, and an old pass found in his pock-
ct, he appeared to be one Of the most
disaffected Of the lot, and had often been
heard to utter vague threats about, serv-
ing the company off for their tyranny and
oppression threats so very vague that
no one had thought it worth while to heed
them or to look after him. When founds
one Of his boots was missing, but it vas
found few yards further on, torn and
fiattened all out of shape. Putting the
two things together, il would seem thai,
in jumping off the engine, his foot had
caught in the slippery iron step. He had
fallen head downwards, and had SO been
dragged for considerable distance, with
his head crashing against the end Of every
sleeper, until his boot came off, and he had
then fallen to the earth on the spot where
ne was found.
None of the railway officials had any
doubt Of this, but the directors considered
it expedient that the circumstances should
be suppressed as far as possible, and, ac-
cordipgly, at the inquest, the men exam
ined, seemed to know so little Of the mat
ter, and SO little of any real Importance
came out, that the jury returned bare
verdict Of Accidental Death; and as the
train was not smashed up, and the passen-
gers we're not all killed or dreadfnls
injured, the newspapers contented thcm-
selves with brief paragraph, headed.
/. Extraordinary Affair on the N. and u.
Railways" instead Of the colomns on COL
umns which would have been required
under other circumstances.

tune to have in the matter, and for saving
them SO much valuable property, and 50
many thousands of pounds in claims g.

acknowledgements from the directors, ana

Surgical Operation for Consump-
ton.

A friend who feels deep interest in
lie subject, has handed US an account
/ taken from the Painesville (Ohio) Tele-
| graph, Of novel and seemingly inpracti-
cable surgical operation, that Of relieving
patient suff-ring from tubical consump-
lion, BY cutting directly into the lower
part Of the lung, and relieving the abcess
| by inserting tube. This apparent haz-
arlous operation, il is stated, was per-
formed by Surgeon General r. p. Wal
colt of Wisconsin, upon Mr.. James Fl:
Paine. of Painesyille, and was attended
Nj Il gra ifyin2 success. We exfraS
following portion Of the account
The abcess was in the left lung, bnt
there was no surface indication Of its ex-
act position this, Of course, increased tho
difficulty Of the operation. An opening
was frs, made between the sixth and
seventh ribs, in front, and with no satisfac-
toryresult; another was Immediately made
in the side between the eighth and ninth
ribs, and with complete success. A tube
was inserted Though which matter flowed
freely.
Mr.. Pains cough which had been most
distressing, ceased entirely within thirty
five minutes afier the operation. which
was performed on the 14th ot November,
1866; he has not coughed since. He now
has an excellent appetite, sleeps well,
weighs one hundred and forty-fye pounds
walks without difficult y, and says lie thinks
he could easily walk ten miles a day.
There has been no discharge from the
tube for more than month, and the tube
in fact dropped out. In word Mr.. Paine
calls himself well man., and talks Of soon
going TO Milwaukee, not with the expect
alton of dying within a few weeks, but
Of entering into active business.

tinguished Surgeon, DIR. H. S. Beardsley.
assisted by that most successful practiton-
er, DR.. Brown, performed the same oper-
alton upon the right lung Of Mr.. j. H.
Cowdry, of Perry. At the time Of the
operation. Mr.. Cowdry was very feeble,
being able to set up but part of the day,
and suffering from a constant cough. AL
ready the cough is gradually diminishing
and there is every prospect of an entire
restoration to health"

This way the tide of Battle comes

The thunder of the cannon iills
Nearer it comes And who are these,
Like broken Waves Of stormy Sens,
Long lines Of shattered Blue, that meet
in rout, confusion and defeats
Up the long road the columns fly,
And still the fierce triumphant cry

Its rolling thunder louder grows
Its deadly lightning leaps and glows,
And those who 1y our Friends, and those who chase

Our Banners in his ranks are flying,
His march is on dead and dying;
Northward he comes an,s who shall stay
His swift, resistess lines Of gray
But one stern face is southward set
But one man is not beaten yet;
Not yet, though all besides should fiy,
Not yst though faith,ess Victory
Perehes on Rebel Flags forever
The Corps is whipped-the GENERAL never!

And none are heroes but the dead
