Special Car for au-Editcr.

Mr.. Swain ol III. bellows Falls Times,
"a something Of ~ag. Hear him:
The President, Vice President, General
of our armies, and even Horace Greeley
have all had their special cars through
this place this year, and we, yea, we, had
a special one during IA brief trip on the
Rutland x Burlington railroad enc day
last week We made The extensive jour-
ney to Brattleboro. The railroad folks
may say it was accidental, can't help that,
it was special to US. We found the rear
cara nice one-wholly unoooupied.
Generally we take newspaper always
anxious to keep up an appearance of APP
preciating that article at least } to occupy
our time on such trips, but this time the
paper had very little of interest in it, and
we put il down. The car in front was
full Some Of them looked into ours.
They may not have liked the looks of the
only passenger in it, but more likely
thought it was "a special car" occupied
by "distinguished passenger" except
Col. Harlow of Windsor, and we didn't
undeceive them, not we. Soon Conduc-
tor Starkey, n long and favorably known
veteran in the Railroad service, came in,
IouHu us MI TlSHt, hhu phSscu VI, re-
firing into the other car. Presently came
the newsboy, we wondered If he could
sell any papers in that car. And then
there was the brakeman, rising young
railroad man of this village, who stood at
the door outside a Ia Gen. Porter at the
Presidential car. Finally we reclined,
mused, reflected, saw the beautiful wild
ducks on the liver, thought of the late
legislaturey old district school, Stowe-By-
ron controversy, Gray's Elegy, Mother
Goose, &C., when suddenly and too soon
arriving in Brattleboro, we thought it in
reality the sweetest hour of rest from
constant toll and attention we had en-
joyed for twenty years, and thereupon de-
cided to write book, to be entitled,
"Recollections of Busy Life" a la Hor-
ace Greeley, but returning next train our
circumstances, though very comfortable,
were different, we concluded to postpone
the book till we had absorbed" the Bur-

STRANGE SYMPATHY BETWEEN FATHER
AND SoN.-The most reIiarkable case OF
consanguineoYs affection and sympathy
is that Of father and son, living in the
county of Fleming, Ky. The father is
about 45 years of age, and the son not yet
20. When one has any complaint, the
other is similarly affected. IF the father
has the headache, the son has it at the
same time if one suffers with the tooth
ache, the other also suffers with it when
one gets cold, the other gets it also and
so it goes ON through all the catalogue Of
ordinary complaints. But yet more re-
markable still is the similarity of their
appetites. temperaments, and gensral &C
tions. What one likes and eats, the other
likes and eats; and what one dislikes and
won't eat, the other dislikes and won't
eat. If one becomes angry, gloomy, or
happy, to the same degree and at the
same time is the other angry, gloomy, o.
happy. They sneeze at the same time,
sleep the same time and fhe same number
of hours, and, the most remarkable Of I'll,
they dream at the same time, and the
dream of one is the same - that Of the
other. s
