An attempt was made to wreck
the south bound regular passenger
train on the Nashville and Decatur
Railroad at Spring Hill on the 22d,
by breaking the switch lock and ar
ranging the switch to throw the train
off the track. The locomotive, ten
der, baggage and express cars were
overturned. The passenger cars re-
mained on the rails. The engineer
was tossed some distance, but not in
jured. The other employees saved
themselves by leaping. No one was
hurt.

Practical Joking.

We had no idea they had such
wags away up in Wisconsin. The
following anecdotc, which We pick up
as an estray, will make any one
laugh:
Joe and Commodore Rogers, broth
er blacksmiths, in Whitewater, Wis
consin, have a great reputation for
being practical jokcrs. Last summer
Joe bought an old-fashioncd dash
churn, for the purpose of manuiac-
turing their own butter; and, as the
Commodore was widowcr, and
lived with Joe, all such work as
cburning naturally fell to him. One
day, after supper, the first churning
was got ready, and the Commodor,
was invited to churn.
"llold on" says he, "till Z,
down and get some tobacco
lie went, and while gone, Joe dij
the churning, took out the butter, ant
left the buttcrmilk in the churn
The Commodore returned, looked a
| the churn, took off his coat and saws
oval old, churn, It's YOU and /, an,
here's for YEP and commenced hi
labor.
After churning couple of hour.
he remarked that he "guessed
would be cheaper to buy butter thar
to make it," al think SO, too,n saii
Joe, "if you are going to chun it on
OF buttermilkw
A few days after that churninJ
process, Joe put one end of a small
bar of iron into his forgc-fre, CAV
the bellows three or four pumps, an,
stepped into the back shop. Will
gone, the Commodore heated the iro
to a black heat, then changed end
with it, and stepped out of the fron
door to watch the progress. In cam
Joe, took up the iron, but dropped
instantly, holding, up his burnc
