Last Saturday morning it is a
wonder that the =. & Q. railroad
did not meet with an accident from
singular cause. The doS train
started from MorriSyille, at The us.
ual time. On the route, one of the
br ,keman discovered a set of car
trucks lying near the track, and
called the conductors attention to
them, who said he must be mistak
en-. as he knew of none being left
there. Meantime, the train went
on at full speed, with perfect safety,
some ten or fifteen miles, until 1T ar
rived at East Iardwick, when it
was discovered that the forward
trucks of one of the freight cars
were missing. They must somehow
have got loose, and what is very re.
markab!e, they swung completely
clear of inc track, and 'sswitchod
OFT" so as not tO interfere IN the
least, with the running of the train.
The freight car must have held by
the new and strong shac..le attach.
Ell 20 the next car. The damaged
ear was left az East Harlwick, and
the train proceeded on its way. -
PGOnah!y not one timein thousand.
u ever, would a set Of rail. DAD trucks
get loose in the same way. without
Causing mere OF less injury.

selected four coloIed boys who had
worked for him more or less, as
their father before them, as pail
bearers. They were to carry the
body to the grave, which was on
his own farm, lower it to its last
resting Pace, till the grave with
earth, and then walk back to the
house. where To find each a letter,
sealed and directed to them, in
