"A most dangerous practice is that of
the urchins who, almost daily, upon the
departure Of trains from our railway
stations, jump on and off the cars while
in motion, with a view to obtaing a ride
gratuitously at the imminent risk of q
broken limb OF perchsnce a fatal injury.
The amusement derived from such q
source will be found very inadequate
compensation for the injuries which are
almost certain to result from persistent
indulgence in the practice.

woods have been pretty well occupied
by sportsmen the past two weeks, and in
