NARROW EscApE-Ihe folly and recklessness
Of jumping upon moving trains came near
practical illustration at the p, W. & b. depot,
this morning. After the southward-bound Del
aware train was put in motion, a gentleman at
tempted to jump upon the platform of the cars,
but missed his footing and fell between them.
lie was able, however, to support himself by his
hands until extricated from his perilous position
by a couple of gentlemen who were standing
near. In spite Of these many warnings and the
too frequent fatal accidents which occur, people
still continue such fool-hardy habits in the be-
lief that they are more careful and will escape
such mishaps. We trust such belief may not
prove a delusion, but absolute safety is only to
be found in the exercise Of greater degree Of
care.
