 of D. J. Warner, Esq, two gentlemen in carnage with one horse, attempted to pass another, and in doing so ran into the ditch and turned over, breaking the top of the buggy and thills very badly. With buggy obtained at the livery stable of Messrs Hurd & Rikert of this village, they succee- ded in getting their broken carriage to Falls Village, where we understand it belongs. It sometimes doesn't pay to be in so much of hurry.

It may be interes 9 ing to the public, to know something c one with whom they will, more or les ] come in contact, and with whom will b placed in trust, their lives and property [ MT. Cogswell was in the employ of th Housatonic Railroad company, nearly te years, and very soon after he was first en ployed by them, was promoted to the pc D sition of conductor; ir fact about min
 years of the time, he was conductor O ! that road; and we are assured that in a f that time not an accident occurred to hi !. train that occasioned an expense to th l company of as much as twenty-five dollar,
 This certainly is railroad record that br few can show, and is very satisfactor t recommendation for the man to such . responsible position. Since he has ha r charge of the construction train on tn D road, as much as half of the time, hls trai ]. was like some stories we have heard, ''th v cart was before the horse," and man t times, long trains of cars were pushe f ahead of the locomotive, and with the fielG d on either side containing cattle and horse e it speaks well of MT. Cogswell as trai i, manager, that no cattle have been killed, ( !. any serious accident whatever occurred :. We are happy in introducing this gentle l. man, MT. H. H.
