RACE BErwECNA IIoNsE AND A Loco
MOTIvE.-A Richmond correspondent writes
the Burlington, (Vt.) Times that on the
18th instant horse ran on the Railroad
track at Williston Station. The morning
mail train nearly overlook it when the en-
gineer blew his engine whistle fnriously. and
the horse terribly frightened, fed at its ut.
most speed before the engine, which it
seemed to conceive to be terrible monster
pursuing, bowling, and shrieking on his
track. Tho brakeman turned his brake and
got the train under control, when tho pas
songcrs put their heads out Of the windows
to see the cause of the screaming OF the
whistle. The horse kept the middle of the
track, and with head high in the air, turn
ing it to the right and left so as TO sec the
engine, ran furiously the race Of death be!
fore the pursuing monster. Not knowing
that the train was entirely under control
of the engineer and the dangerous uncer-
tainties as to its termination, made it very
exciting to the passengers, who wcre IN iuii
view of the terrible race.
The horse running at the height of its
speed, regardless Of danger, came to an
open culvcrt, of fifteen to twenty feet in
width, over which stringers or large timbcrs
were laid, across which were placed tho
ties. lie furiously took his last leap among
the ties, his body hanging across tic. 1t
seemed to passenger who was looking on
that the impending fate Of the train was
frightfully, dangerous, but the engineer
stopped tho train before reaching the cul.
vert without accident, and twenty or thirty
men ran to SEQ if anything could be done to
cxtricate the horse, but nothing could. The
poor brute struggled powerfully two or three
times and then iell headformost fifteen cl
twenty feet into rocks below, doubling his
neck under his shoulder, and apparently
breaking it in the fall.

butter for forty cents-any body else thirty
five

for butter, and vanishes, with the impress

Dat is goot soap, Biddy, says Hans. Il

any body else ten cents, you know.
All right says Bridget; give US five
bars at Nat price
Hans passes over tho soap, Bridget lays
down fifty cents, and away walks Eve bars
of soap. Hans smells mice.
Here, by dunder! dere is mistake here.
Five bars of soap is one dollar
Bridget stops, Indignantly.

An ELECTRIC CLooK.-At the Green

which regulates the timo in England. 1t

How TO GET AN EDucATIoN-Boys say
often, "wc want an education, but wo are
poor and father is poor, and VIC can't got it;
SO we arc going to learn trado, or 60 into
q store or do something else." Now let mo
say, every boy that wants IN education, if he
will bend his force to it can get just as good
one as he wants. The way is open. Edu-
cation does not come through academies and
colleges, and scminariss; those arc helps,
but it semes by study and reading, and COM
pairing. All the schools and colleges and
scminaries in tho world, will not make a
scholar Of man without these; and with
them man will be one If bo never secs q
college. The same is true Of girls, and what
is true Of this pursuit ia true Of any other
The force must DO from yourself and you
must develope it 1t is that indomitable
II can," that sets man astride the world.

An Amusing Accident.

Ono OF those annoying, yet ludicrous &C.
cidents, which will happen in the best Of
families occurred on Sunday, not over a
thousand miles from this city. A drygoods
clerk had an engagement to take his lady
love out buggy riding. Early in the morn.
ing he appeared before her fathers door
with one Of those spider like vehicles which
are probably constructed with view Of as
ccrtaining how light buggy can be made.
The Indy is sweet sixteen. She is full Of
life, fun and frolic, and is decidedly cmbcr-
point, weighing about one hundred aud :or.
ty-fve pounds. As tho young gentleman
drove up, his lady love was standing on the
top step at tho front door with her venera-
bic father, who had his gold specs elevated
on his forehead in order to get distinct
view of his future son-iu.law.
Adonis jumped out of the buggy propara-
tory to assisting the young lady in. but she
suddenly took one Of those strange freaks 20
which the dear Sex are subject. The buggy
was standing about four feet from the step
upon which stood tho young lady. She
probably wanted to convince her lover that
she was not clumsy, and thought this would
be good time to show her agility. BE
that as it may, she gave jump and landed
in the centre Of the buggy. Ifshe had stop
ped there, oil would have been vel! but
alas tho thin boards Of the bottom of
tho buggy, unable to stand the pressure,
gave way, cnd the younglady continued her
descent. There was a piercing scream; a
p!unging horse, with young man holding
to him ; bundle Of muslin in the buggy,
and two little gaiter boots pointing to with
in six inches of the gronnd under it.
Paterlamlas rushed to the rescue, and
detached the horse from the buggy. lie
then got up on one side, yoang man on the
other, and they attempted to raise the young
lady up. "Oh, stop stop you arc killing
me" she cried. The boards mad broken in
the centre, and the long sharp splinters
would catch her. The old man compre-
honded the situation ina moment. lie told
the young man to get down and break the
splinters off, Young lady screamed : 80,
don't" and young man wouldn't. At this
stage Of the proceedings practical ncighbor
came up with hatchct, and the young lady
was soon extricatcd from her unpleasant
situation, and disappeared behind the front
door. - Louisville Courier.

things that induced him to become Ma.

transpired near Washington, in that county.
The story goes that on Sunday man
near that place discovered some hogs de-
vouring what was, upon examination, found
to be an infant child, OF about ten months
old. A coroner's inquest was held; there
wcro no marks Of violence, and it is
supposed that some ungrateful mother
had murdered tho child and threw il to
the hogs to be dcvoured. No clue has
been obtained as to who arc the perpetra-
tors Of this most horrible murder.
