Some OF the farmers and others residing along
the line of the W. Il W. II. IL. do not seem to re-
ali1e the danger OF letting horses and cattle run
at large upon the railroad track. 1t frequent
Iy requires the greatest care anl the utmost ex-
ertions of the employees upon the trains to slack
up in time to prevent the destruction of stock.
A COW belonging to some person about Auburn
Station has frequently annoyed the passing
trains Last evening she YVES pasturing along
side of the track and when the train was within
IL few rods OF her. she deliberately walked across

grazing her heels.
Al Gresnbank, young colt is frequently up

accident sometimes is barely avoided.
A drove Of mileh COWS which frequently Craze
along the track between the Newport and Ian
caster pixies have become accustomed to the
warning signals OF the locomotive, aud instead
of turning tail to and running when they hear
it's shiill whistle, they actually stand upon the
track with heads erect as il to dispute it's pas
sage. On Wednesday evening they were upon
the track again, and stood with their heads tow
ards the locomotive until it was within few
yards OF them. All imaginable Bhrieks and
screams from the whistle proved unavailing
until the engineer let off quantity of steam,
This was more than the bovines he'd bargained
FOR and not relishing such queer sound and
dense fog of steam they left in fine style with
heads and tails erect.
The residents upon the limo OF the w. & W. r..
