A RIDE FOR LIFE.
A Young Lady Caught in a Railroad
Cut.

From the Portland (Or.) Bulletin, Nov. 10.
Yesterday there occurred on the
Oregon and California R. R., be-
tween this city and Salem, one of
most thrilling railroad incidents we
ever heard of, which, while it dem
onstrates the foolhardiness of some
people, also shows how near there
came to being a terrible accident
The following particulars furnished
to our reporter by an eyewitness
may be relied upon as true:
A FOOLISH WOMAN.
When the down train came near
one train came near one of stations
on the road it was running at full
speed, in order to make up time, as
it was few minutes behind. The
road at this point runs through
cut something more than mile in
length, and in entering it the road
makes curve so that the engineer
cannot see entirely through it. So
as he thundercd along yesterday, he
little thought what stirring times
were upon him. He had hardly got
into the cut before he saw a woman
riding leisurely through it,and with
perfect nonchalence using the cen
tre ofthe track. She was not more
than half way through the cut, and
barely quarter of a mile ahead of
him. He Immediately whistled down
Breaks and then sounded the warn
ing.
THE RACE FOR LIFE.
The woman, hearing the peculiar
death-whistle of the locomotive,
looked over her shoulder and saw
the train rushing at her. She did not
shrek, nor faint, nor give up all
hope, but, like true Webfoot, her
courage rose to the emergency, and,
without a moments hesitation, she
commenced swinging her riding
whip from one shoulder of her steed
to the other, thereby urging him to
exert his utmost speed. The whip,
and perhaps the shrieking of the
steam whistle, caused the animal rid
den by the lady to put in it's best
licks, and made about as rapid time
as any animal ever seen in Oregon,
but each instant the iron horse gain
ed upon the one composed of blood
and muscle.
EXCITEMENT ON THE TRAIN.
The shrieking of the locomotives
whistle caused the passengers to
look out of the windows, and upon
their discovering what was the mat
ter the widest excitement ensued.
Several jumped forward and seized
the bell rope, and commenced pull
ing on it as if they could stop the
train by that means. The brake
men were exerting all their strength
on the brakes, and the engineer had
cut off the connection and was doing
all that he knew to stop the train,
while the woman was doing her
level best to make that bit of horse
flesh rise to the speed of 'helmbold:'
but, all in vain, the locomotive kept
gaining on the horse and it's rider,
and there was hardly person on
the train who did not expect that
both the woman and horse would be
killed.

Acc1DESTs.-Wc arc intormcd that Dr..
T. +. Mellow met with q ute painful accl-
dent on Monday. 1t seems that the Dr.
while in town had purchased some files which
he put into his s1llIe-b1s' and started
home wards. Having occasion to dismount
from his horse, in attempting to get up he
threw his leg across the saddle when one
of the files stuck into it, causing jagged
wound about an inch in depth and very
painful. The injury, however, is, VIC hope,
only temporary. u
John Baskius an employee Of Mr.. Thos
w. Lang, while engaged in feeding rice
thresher, accidentally got his foot into it and
had three of his toes cut off. If some per
sons standing near. had not pulled him out
it is very probable lie would have lost {
limb.

WHAT'S TIE MArrER.-Ihepaper when

Corswell this week, is so small that we were
compelled to resort to very unusual means
to get our paper printed. We hope that
this will excuse any defect in the appearance
Of this issue, as we are compelled to print a
portion on this small paper.
We are at loss to account tor the mis-
take of Messrs w., E, & G., and call their
attention to the fact, with the expectation
and hope that we may not be called upon to
chronicle REPETITION of the mistake, as it is
rather serious ore to US.

THE NATIONAL DANK.-A gentleman
who is actively engaged in advocating the
question of National Bank in this place,
informs us that during ono dtW he obtained
subscriptions to the amount of $4,000.
This looks very much like business, and
we hope that our friends in the country will
not neglect to come in and subscribe literally
towards its establishment. y little more
work will make the institution success.
TIE question is asked on the street,
"What has become Of the Candn Brass
Band ?" Its soul-stirring notes were listened
to with pleasure on each alternate evening
but they are silent now Why do their
harps hang silent in Tara's Hall, alias the
Ark? Are they resting from their labors
to refresh themselves prcpatory to that pro-
missed concert? We pause for reply.
THERE is a very bad practice in vogue
among the young gentlemen, Ono bays now
a-days,) both white and colorcd, of the town,
in the promiscuous throwing of stones in
the public streets. They seem bent in MA
king Stephens of all who pass along, and
hive no particular regard as to the price Of
glass or putty. 1t might be we'll for the
Council to set apart day for their especial
benefit, if the young folks cannot be induced
to believe that the practice is better IN the
breach than the observance.
The cause of Temperance in Camden seems
decidedly onward and upward, for the meet
ings OF the Waterce Division every Monday
evening, finds one or more recruits to the
banded few who oppose the grand army
"wending their downward road" As Il
natural consequence, the army is ''growing
small by degrees" and the traffic in benzlne
decidedly less. There is room in the Di-
visn for morc-so
So's who have so long have bled,
Sots whom Rum has never fed,
Welcome and by Temperance led,
Enjoy true Liberty.
