MISTAKEN IDENr1rY.-A few nights ago
man was run over by 2 Rampant street car
and crushed to deathD At the time it was
supposed that the deceased was named
Pfiffer, a car driver, and two of the COM
pany's employees stated they knew him, but
P6ffer now comes forward and says he
Knows better. So it is NOT known who the
victim was, for there was nothing on his
terson to identify him. After the Coroner's
.lk,ry rendered a verdict, Cook, who drove
he car at the time of the accident, was dis
s karged, NO blame attaching to him.

The Narrow.Gauge Railway.

1t is very gratifying to perceive that the
narrow-gause railway is growing in popu'
larity because of its many merits. 1t is an
important discovery in railroadinS, OF rather
its great advantages are. Without it the
system would be sadly imperfect. With II
the facilities of the iron track can be be-
slowed upon every community.
The cheapness with which the mario"
track can be built and run will no doubt
make it great economy in the purposes OF
travel and transportation. The uses OF
f1raupht animals will he confined almost en-
tirely to the farm. and the heavy eXpendl-
lures for improving turnplkeS will he
avoided. Every neiShborhood will have its
lateral narrow track, and will be able to for
ward its produce promptly, while its teams
may be kept at work upon the crops. seed
ing and tilling and gathering. This Will
save both money and time to the farmer,
and increase the steadlncss and success OF
his effective force.
The power of the locomotive upon the
narrow gauge is astonishing, and trains on
such a track can ascend grades that would
be impracticable upon the wide-gauge rail-
WAYS. 1t is estimated that $1,000 mile will
complete and osuip narrow track-whlc
it takes $4,000 per mile to build Il McADAM
road. When we take into consideration the
speed and power Of draft of the railway
the dispensing with the Use of teams, and
the gains from safe and rapid tranSporta-
tion-we see at once what an immense adj
vantage there is for society in the narrow
gauge iron track over the MCADAM road.
1t is surprising that this new railway has
not before now been introduced into this
country, which is generally either in the
advance or very prompt to adopt whatever
is useful that may be invented elsewhere.
The two and the three-fect gauge have
been tried in England with wonderful Sic
cess. Their introduction here would he an
epoch in ou' commercial and social inter-
course. 1t would be the perlectipS of the
railway as 4 substitute for the old mode OF
transportation and travel. 1t would be a
relief to the horse. whose trials have been
great in running in connection with the
present lines, which leave such wide dis
tricts of country to make their way to the
railway stations by horsepower, i'll which
mode OF travelling the poor horse is too
often made to pour out his life in an effort
to make up for the time lost by men in
dalying or sleeping.
