Novel Way Of Stopping a Railway Train.
From Cha 1l,o1,u Avouo

A friend informs us of the novel mode
adopted to stop railroad train in Vermont
the other dry. He was ut Centre Rutland,
a way station, whero tho train did not stop
except upon the the signal of red flag:
It was carly in the morning, and the station
man had not arrived. A woman and two
small children came to take tho cars, and
was anxiously waiting their arrival. The
time was nearly up, and yet no appearance
of the station master. Tho woman grew
more anxious. She said there was no
signal, and she must take tho train
at all hazards. ''Why," said she,
II can now hear the cars coming
what shall 10 T? must go on this train.
This appeal WAS addressed to our friend,
who, by tho way, il six foot tall. and s'well
proportional" After thinking moment,
he asked the woman if she did not have
something red about her, shawl or some
thing. She replied that she had not. In
q moment a thought struck hor, and she
said Eyes, have on a rod petticoat; will
that do?' ''Certainly," said our friend,
81. will elevate it on my walking stick, and
if that don't stop the train, then there is
no virtue in woman's expedients." The ex-
pertinent was tried, and the emblem of wo-
mans rights brought tho rushing train to
a stand on time. The woman was delight
ed with her success, and laughed rs hearth

ANOTHER SKUNK STORY. Tho Grant Co.
Witness gots of tho best skunk story OF
tho season:
The other day couple of German wo-
men woro walking along the road some four
or five miles south Of Platteville, when
they came across what they supposed to be
a very handsome kitten. Being in want of
such an animal ono Of them caught it and
carried it in her apron until sho procured
a sack from one Of tho neighbors to take it
home in. It was secured in the sack, and
they walked off gaily pleased with their
acquisition. Before they had gone very
far one OF them snuffed around and asked,
"Vas riecht SO ?" The other said, '.Ich
weis NIGHT. Veilich list es do grass"
"Noin, said tho other, "Das can nieht
sein, es muss die katz in sack scin.
Schmeiss doch. dos einfcldig ding awec."
But tho other persisted in holding on to
her treasure until they got home, when tho
husband of one Of them promptly des-
patched tho animal with club. The wo-
men said they mover before camo across
cat with such bad breath.
