The excitement respecting the small
pox is decreasing very fast. No new
cases are reported. AS twenty days have
elapsed since the possible exposure from
young Wright, no one is expected to
come down from this case. All who
have been sick with the small pox or
yarioloid are now convalesent. Some of
our citizens have suffered from fright
more than those afflicted with the disease,
but most of them have exhibited good
practical common sense in the matter.
1t is hoped that all branches of business
in town, which have received temper
airy check, may again revive, and we
again enjoy the society o. our friends
both in and out of town.

On Friday last, as the up freight

as branch of the |. M. r.. r., an
intoxicated man who had been ut
work on The track jumped aboard tho
caboose car, and saying that ho had
paid for his ticket, refused to get off,.
At Hogan Mountain, tho train was
divided, and four cars loaded with
lumber and tho cabooso woro loft
there, whiIo tho engine and tho rost
of tho train went up the grade iu-
tending [, come back after these cars.
While the conductor was giving orr
ders to some Of tho men ahead, this
intoxicated man came out Of tho
caboosc and loosed the brakes. Tho
cars started, and began running by
gravitation so fast that the conductor
could not ovcrtako them. Fasterand
faster they ran, tho crazy man at tho
holm alone, apparently enjoying his
free fast ride. On they won't nino'
miles, when they met the up passcn-
scngcr train, producing q tromendous
concussion, smashing up tho cabooso
and broakiug up the cnginc'and killing
tho man. Tho man lived long enough
to state that ho lot loose the brakes,
and tho coroncr's jury found that his
death was caused by his own act!
