A FREE RIDE.-On the arrival of a
through freight train from the north.
at Berlin last Saturday evening, two
sheep were observed to jump from the
cow-catcher of the locomotive and
scamper of at a lively rate. It appears
that just after leaving Eden the train
ran through a flock of sheep crossing
the track and it is supposed that these
two, being caught on the cow-catcher,
could not get off until the train stop
ped. They did not appear any the
worse for their involuntary ride, but
doubtless consider their narrow escape
from becoming mutton somewhat mir
aeulOus.
