AiLLED- -Oa Saturday afternoon at a
little after two o'clock, breakman named
ueorge Perkins, who has family in Bufa.
10, was instantly killed a. Harbororeek -
Lie was dividing 4 train and had pulled out
Inc coupling pin, tho cars on the rear
end OF tho train being in motion. After
uncoupllng the train, ho fell OF the platform
and two or three cars passed over bis body,
cutting it in two. His body was taken
10 the city aAl placed in coffin to be sent
TO his relatives. The unfortunate man had
only recently been employed as brakesman
ana the sad accident is probably due to
his want of torethought in uncoupljng a
train without having good hold one or the
other of the cars.

An EIopcmcnt case at pioneer.

The fools are not all dead yet. The lat
est exempliGcaton of the above ancient
proverb lately transpired at Pioneer by the
elopement OF q young couple from thence.
The parents Of the young lady have lived
a; Pioneer some time, nre well known and
very respectable. Tho runaway daughter
is young, and like some other young girls,
her head can be as easily turned. A little
attention, q little Auttery, ani may be q
judiciOus investment in ice cream occasio n
ally, puts some girls in just the frame Of
mind to be induced to believe the world is
made of green cheese. Perhaps, in this
case, a sentimentaliiy imbusd by dime nov.
els, has had it's influence. The young m an
who is responsible for the rash act has been
employed as an engineer on wells in the vi
cinity of Pioneer for several months. 1t is
about as much as he is able to do to take
care of himself, and We aro OF the opinion
that he has no more necessity for d wife
than dog has for two tails. The young
lady seems TO have had previous lover, Of
whom everybody speaks highly, who Of
course is now left out in the cold.
To the superseded lover we have word
of advice to give: Don't make fool Of
yourself if the others have, by getting in o
rage and swearing vengeance on your rival,
and threatening to shoot him with pistol
without lock, stock or barrel. From what
We have been able to learn Of the young
man who is the author Of oil your unhappi-
ness, he isn't worth the powder and ball that
it would cost you to blow him to -
climate Of very warm renown. AS for the
girl, you have reasons to congratulate your
self on being thus carly Informed OF the bias
Of her mind, and thus saved from lifelong
burden. Console yourself with the thought
that there are just as good fish in the sea as
were ever caught out Of it.
