A Race for Life.

The Montgomery o. - Standard
gives tie following particulars of an
exciting race of a trotting horse over
the WAIKIKI Valley Railroad:
Last Wednesday morning, when !ht
train from Gardner approached Luck
ey's Bridge, about two miles south o.
GARDENERS station, the engineer, in
coming around the curve on the down
grade toward the bridge, saw horse
ahead on the track, which, owing tc
the high embankment, he knew could
not get out of the way. The animal
which belonged to Mr.. John Titus,
whose residence Is psaF b., and which
was once "a celebrated trotteF, beeom-
ing frightened, startedSto run toward
the bridge, and it was then the engi-
neer saw the Importance Of the step
which he was obliged to take. Know
ing that be could not stop the train,
it became a race tor lie ~ 70 which
would reach the bridge first.
If the horse arrived before the en-
gine it was almost sure to throw ii
from the track, perhaps down thu
abyss below, together with the whole
train OF pas@eagee coaches, sacrificing
every lie on board. He threw The
the throttle valve all the way open,
and dashed down that grade at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour. On
plunged the horse and on came the
poadeEops laundering machine with
a deafening Eoaf bshlad. Half the
distance had been traversed and the
horse was within few feet of the
stonework. Every pound of steam
was forced into the cylninder, and the
engine gave one mighty lurge, striking
the animal on the right hip, throwing
him high into the air, clear from the
stones below, Ghere he fell with his
head turned partly under him. never
once stirring aftaF he struck.

BURLINGTON.

or Indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best line is acknowledged to be the c. B
& O., Joined together with the B. s. NJ. Rail-
way by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running 10 Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route TO California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth. passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished TO Fort
Kearney. forming the shortest distance across
the Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. & NJ, dverging a
Red Oak, falls into line running down the
Missouri through st. oe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route TO Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missoui,
and, and by slight divergence, can see Ne
braska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for its towns .shigh-gleam-
iDgEfrom afar. "-its tree-fringed streams-its
rough bluffs and quarries-its corn-oceans
stretching over prairies farther than the eye
can reach.
Land buyers will be sure to remember il,
for they have friends among the two thousand
who have already bought farms from Geo. S.
Harris. the Land Commissioner of the B. &
NJ r. r. at Burlington, Iowa, or among the
four thousand home.sieaders and pre-emptors
who last wear filed claims in the Lincoln land
