ANOTHER TrRRnIE RArLnoAp Ao.

Virginia and Truckee Railroad, had
reached q point about n mile below,
or south OF, the scales, on American
Flat, the engineer suddenly whlstled
down brakes and the train came to a
stop, one Of the passengers having re-
ported to the Conductor his having
seen a man fall from the front platform
Of the forward passenger coach. A
party with lanterns nj ~ hurried
back to make search for the missing
individual. When they had proceeded
half a mile they came to the conclu.
sion that no man could have fallen off,
and were on the point Of starting back,
when cries were heard further ahead
on the track, and they rushed on the
double quick In the direction from
which the cries proceeded. Just above
the scales the poor fellow was found
yelling bloody murder. He was stand
ing upon the track, apparently but
slightly Injured, but when asked to
come On down to the train, insisted
that he had lost two bits and wouldn't
60 till he found 1t. His lips were
badly liberated, and his front teeth
knocked loose. Aside from those In
juries he appeared all right and tight,
being too full OF gin to get hurt rnuch.
His name was Kelly and no had been
working at the round house Of the rail-
road company at Virginia. Those
who went back to search for him were
confident they would find him In two
pieces, II not quartered. None but a
drunken man could have 40 mlracu-
lCusiy escaped from n terrible death,
only losing two bits instead OF his life.
He avoided any further gymnastics for
the balance Of the trip.

The CAUSE OF lr.-The principal
reason why livery stable horses get
driven so %furiously, smashing up bug

having to drive oxen on these festive
occasions, by and by, when all the
horses are bunged up with the epizootic.
