veta Louisiana woman tells Of her ex-
pericnce in that frightfrl position. Pass
ing through the bushes near her home
the terrified woman was seized by a
monster concealed in the bushes, anil al
Ter vigorous struggle was drawn into
the water by her powerful enemy. Here
the alligator relinquished her laccratcd
arm, and caught her head between his
massive jaws. This might be considered
the end Of the struggle when the strength
of the beasts jaws is remembered. But
the woman still resolutely fought her
amphibiouS foe, and, incredible to say,
reached the bank. and with the aid Of
neishbors escaped the monster. Her
wouuds were frightful, the marks made
by the teeth Of the alligator presenting
the appearance Of incisions with steel

ATTEMPT TO Throw PASSENGER TRAIN
OFF THE TRAcK.-Depostt, N. Y, May Sit
is just made public that an attempt was made
on the night of april 30ih to throw express
train No. u off the track on the Erie rail
road, near this place. The train was de-
scending Summit grade, and approaching
this station, when, at Stewards, it ran into
some obstruction. It's speed, however,
overcame the resistance, and the danger
was escaped. The Waterman at once began
removing the distractions, when ne was
assaied bv a shower of stones from the
woods on the side Of the road. The train
was more than usually heavy, and contained
the directors car, on which were Gould
and Fiske and several division supcrintend-
ents, OH their way to the city to assist in
arranging new time table. Had the effort
been successful, it would have been attend
ed with great loss Of life. Tie grade here
Is fifty feet TO the mile, and the speed OF the

Chesapeake and Cincinnati Railroad

Chesapeake and Cincinnati Railroad
The people Of Cincinnati are not easily
aroused to enthusiasm about building rail
roads and canals. They are rather nara &c
move. AS one of the leading river cities, IL
is q matter of vital Importance to ner that
she should devote ali her energies ana
means to the strengthening oil the INES O
TRANSPORTATION which will contiHe as large
q part rs possible of the trade and trans
portation OF the West TO the ONO Falley'
The lake cities have established heaV!
drain upon those on the river, and these
latter can only successfully defend them
selves by enlarging the means of transpor-
ta,ion along the line of the Ohio valley
eastward. This fact is so self-evident that
the apathy apparent only we hope) OF Cin-
cinnati upon the subject is amazing.
We observe that writers in the Clnciu-
natl papers are appealing to the citizens OF
that town to cooperate with the counties
along the Ohio in building very promptly
"the Cincinnati and Chesapeake railroad"
The name is good, and the utility of the
roadi is so apparent that the Importance OF
Its construction is not contested. Still 1t
is deemed necessary to make earnest ap'
Deals in its behalf. The citizens OF the
counties have held meetings in Cincinnati,
and the resident population did not pro-
perly second their movement. Neverthe-
less, we fully expect Cincinnati to take up
the subject in earnest. The fires around
her are growing too hot to permit her to sit
still.
The people of Lexington and Louisville,
ky., are about building the road to Big
Sandy, and there is a connecting link to be
made straight from Louisville to st. Louis.
